Stoll Mountain Campground — Eleven Mile State Park

Really basic spots with no shade so bring your own. The lake is nice and their is access to a lot of water for recreation.

Need a day pass and camping pass. Too much money for too little. No hookups, trashy. Winds in evening almost made me leave site. Chairs and equipment will blow away. There are two entrances to this area, second one from Colorado Springs is much easier access.

The views from this campsite are amazing all around. Depending on the exact site it feels private and doesn’t have as many people around. The only downside are the bathrooms. They are veryyyyyy buggy but there is also a park center close by that has really nice bathrooms and showers

Stayed in Witcher’s cove yesterday. It’s on the back side of the park down a very long rough dirt road. WC had a amazing view of the lake, 2 restrooms (pit toilet no water), picnic tables and fire pits but be aware there is NO tree coverage for shade. I’m a lobster now lol.

The park office has a shower and there is also a store at the boat ramp across from it.

Daily parking is $9 self service

Out of my many years of camping experience This is the perfect site if you love the mountains but want a lake day. Take a canoe, kayak, or fishing poles and enjoy a day on the lake with a great view of the mountains. Very memorable trip!

This was my first camping experience and I was not disappointed. The facilities were wonderful and the view was incredible. Many of the lots had very little shade coverage so just be sure to bring plenty of shade tents. The lake was the perfect place to cool off so bring your bathing suit too!

This is not exactly our type of campground, which is the only reason I give it 3 out of 5 stars.  It is a little too exposed to sun and wind (see pics), but there are some sites that are tucked away a little more comfortably than others.  I suggest looking at a site map before choosing your campsite.  Unfortunately, I cannot remember which loops are more tucked away than others.  

The best thing about this campground to us was it's close proximity to two VERY good fly fishing locations:  the Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Canyon sections of the South Platte River.  I posted some short videos and pics of these two nearby fishing locations.  This campground sits right between them, so it is a short drive to either one.  

This park is very clean and well maintained.  The facilities are modern and clean.  The staff is very helpful.

Just got back from 3 nights at the Stoll Mountain campground. Our 2 kids and 2 dogs had a great time exploring the shoreline and fishing. Facilities were clean, rangers were friendly and helpful. Only complaint were the bugs, but might just be the time of year. Will visit again soon!

This was the first place I took my oldest Camping. He was 9 months old. The scenery is amazing! Perfect for any camper! I can't wait to take him back and Kayak the lake!

We drove a 22' TT to the far side of this reservoir, following CO98. It was a newbie mistake and I'm posting this to warn others. The drive was beautiful, but once we got to the far side of the spillway, the road became awful. Total washboard and it shook our truck and camper so hard we were relegated to driving under 5mph. We stopped at a campsite for a break. The lake was stunning! The water was a blue that was striking. The north side of the lake was appeared to be protected by the cliffs and I would have enjoyed seeing that area, but by the time we made it back to Highway 24, I was never so happy to turn onto a highway. At that point I swore I'd never go back~ but after reading other reviews, maybe for a day trip. The side road to highway 24 was also in bad condition with major washouts. Driver BEWARE. We had to reattach lights, doors, drawers (yes, all of those things were shaken off, it was that bad).

It was great I loved the rock formations between the campsites! Beautiful views of the lake. I did get cell service which was nice. Overall a success!

We spent one night here and were very impressed.  It was early in the week, mid September so the park sites were pretty empty for tent campers.  There were a few late arrival big rigs though they did not really bother us.  Bear country, for sure.  Though we did not see any, it felt like we were on the edge.  This was probably due to the signage everywhere.  Bathrooms were ok, not the best but i think that is probably due to staying right after a busy weekend.  Stay in the top sights, rocky ridge.  Found a nice flat spot for our RTT.

great park seagulls were cool but be prepared for the wind every evening we had to trash our tent when we left

If you don't like driving on washboard dirt roads, this isn't the campground for you as all roads in are dirt. We camped in the Witcher's cove campground in September. The campground was not crowded during the week but got busy Friday through the weekend. This is a beautiful place to camp and is perfect for fishing, kayaking, and other water activities but not great for hiking. The campground is not well maintained in that fire rings are full of ash and garbage, tables are dirty, and bathrooms are not cleaned. We only saw a ranger go through the campground 1 time during our stay. The lack of rangers may be a seasonal issue but it resulted in many campers not following rules which can compromise the experience of others. The campground is windy so keep your canopies weighted or don't use them.

It's very pretty, but be prepared for high desert. Hot days, cold windy nights. The campsites are small, but clean, camp potty nearby and plenty of things to do in the lake.

The views at these sites were AMAZING!!! Sites are fairly spaced out and right on the water! We reserved a spot ahead of time and you have to pay for cars . Outhouses were available and trash services were also available . Definitely recommend this spot.

Backcountry campground at 11 mile reservoir is a really unique camping area and I think it has the most scenic campsites in all of 11 Mile. It’s not a very long hike from the parking lot to the backcountry sites but if your stuff is heavy you can usually pay someone to haul your gear over on a boat because most of the backcountry sites are close to the water. At all of the places I’ve camped at 11 Mile, the afternoon’s are very windy but from early morning to midday it was very calm. The wind was really annoying. There are bear bins in the backcountry campground. The rest of the campgrounds at 11 mile seem crowded and lacking privacy and shade.

I had read some reviews that weren’t thrilled with Eleven Mile State Park and I was interested to see what it was like. Our visit this weekend was amazing, even with some much needed rainstorms during a crazy Colorado fire season. We stayed in the D loop at Rocky Ridge campground and had great view of the lake and surrounding mountains. All of the campgrounds were fairly full but the place was clean and folks were friendly! There were plenty of laughing and playing kids and that made the Mrs. and I smile.

Several big thunderstorms reeked some havoc on some trailer canopies and tent campers but the rain was so badly needed it was actually enjoyable. The Midland Loop hike was great and perfect for kids and dogs. The views of the park from the hiking trail were great. It was a great place to visit.

The campsites here are really cool, mixed in between really rugged rocks and lake shore. We got a spot a little further off from the lake, but we were able to climb on the big rocks and hike around the outskirts. Our spot was close to the convenience store where we were able to rent a boat for the day and go out on the lake. The spot was able to accommodate a small A-line camper and a tent just fine. Not the most private camp spots but everyone around was so friendly.

The Park itself earns a 3.5 - 4 stars.  However, hike in or boat in site 914 earns 5 stars or more if possible.  The hike in was about a mile in total.  about 100 yds through a marsh patch.  the rest of the hike was simply beautiful, a shaded path leads to many hike in sites and a few that could be boat in.  Definitely not a path for bikes, if you take em you will end up leaving them at your vehicle in the parking lot.  Probably a 3.5/5 for difficulty getting there through the trail.  We also had a small pontoon that we used to get our gear to the site which was literally right up against the water.  The sound of the waves at night with a campfire was just perfect.  If you are just walking in plan on maybe one cooler between two people and some hiking packs fro your gear unless you want to make numerous trips.  Other than that its a great site and will definitely book it again.

This has the potential to be a great campground as it is in a beautiful location. But the vault toilets are too few and too far in between and are the dirtiest I have ever used. The staff are unfriendly and no rules around quiet hours seemed to be enforced as you could hear generators running most of the night. To top all of that off, the site was $25 a night for no hookups, which is reasonable, but you are charged $9 a day on top of that for a day use permit and threatened with a $100 fine if you don’t get one. Clearly, this is a campground that is overworked and Colorado is trying to reduce traffic by making it unpleasant!

Great to be so close to the water, paddling, kayaking and fishing are popular activities. Unfortunately, majority (if not all) of the spots have little to no shade and it gets pretty hot. It was also very windy when we were there. Overall a pretty decent spot, I’ve read some glowing reviewing about the back country campground here so that may be the place to try out.

Camp sites were nice enough,  narrow road in the campground but can fit some bigger rigs. One the higher/highest campgrounds so you get some great views of the reservoir. Nearly everyone has a boat, crowded shorelines on the weekend. Rocky Ridge A has electric but is pretty much in the parking lot of the visitor center, no privacy. One dump line was long, requires unlocking from ranger, no water hookup for rinsing.

The reservoir is fun to explore on paddle boards, and many of the sites have views of the water. You can pick up ice and other basics at the marina, and there is a dump station with two sides so the line moves pretty quickly.

The downside is that campground is not particularly clean, and the campsites have zero shade and zero privacy. They are set really close together.

This is a fantastic park for car camping and fishing.

Amenities: Ranger Station, water, general store, bait and fishing supplies, ampatheater, playground, marina, toilets

Cons: No shade, mosquitoes, crowded during summer

Pros: -lots of level, well maintained sites -huge lake, great for fishing or boating -electrical hookups for RV camping Cons: -minimal shade and sites are close together -bathroom/shower are at the entrance (a considerable distance from most sites) -not a ton of great hiking areas. Bottom line if you’re an RV camper and an angler definitely a decent spot. If you’re a tent camper and hiker check elsewhere.

The campground was well maintained, but the sites were so close together. Getting from loop E to the water was a trek. We tried 3 water spigots before we found one that worked. The bathrooms were well maintained. It was very beautiful sunsets. Lots of trash in the res though. It seems as if people just don’t care about their surroundings. We only saw 1 fish jump out while we were there so fishing was pretty lackluster.
