Red Feather's best

This lakeside campground is a gem. With 2 loops, one close to the river, and one a short walk away, it's a nice smaller alternative to other campgrounds in Red Feather. The lake is beautiful and great for fishing. The upper loop has flush toilets and power hookups and the lower lakeside loop has pit toilets and no hookups. The last few miles to the campground were dirt road but it wasn't too washboard-like on our visit.

We did a drive through

    We came here to picnic & did a drive through when we were done. The sites are attractive & you can reserve them. Some had electricity according to the Forest Service site. It said some toilets were flush, but I only saw vaults. No showers. Water might be an issue too, so fill up before you come in. I used a vault by the picnic area & the host had just cleaned it.  

    The road to get here is graded gravel & really not too bad. We saw some larger rigs, so people do manage it. There's a path around the lake, some of it's board walked. It wasn't too busy on a Friday, mid afternoon. There's good fishing according to a guy my husband talked to.

 This was my favorite lake of the Red Feathers. We visited Bellaire Lake Campground, no overnight stay.

Amazing Spot

This campground is split into 2 different sides and we were on the one closer to the lake where the sites were a little more spread out. It was absolutely perfect for privacy and the views were incredible! And even better, it was super close to several great hiking spots, like Disappointment Falls (which did not disappoint.)
