Relaxing lake side near water

Sites are fairly close together strung out along the lake edge. In September, lake level is purposefully lowered about 20 feet from summer levels. None the less, you can still launch a canoe from your campsite or fish. Just need to walk down to water edge. Pit toilets. Water available. Flush heads at launch ramp (third of mile walk) and visitor center(about 2 miles) T-Mobile coverage nearly non existent with just sporadic 1 bar LTE. 5G at visitor center. Camp store across road. Fair amount of traffic on road, but not annoying.

Horsetooth Reservoir

Larimer County campground so have to have a pass (just like a state park) plus a reservation charge (one-time $9 or so) plus daily campground fee. Off season is fairly inexpensive so if you can get an inexpensive disabled pass, can camp fairly inexpensive. I think all sites have electricity and there is potable water at points throughout. A fair amount of trees so a fair amount of sites with at least some shade. Leaves in the fall on some of these trees very pretty. Vault toilets with electric lights and a shower facility at each location. Located close to marina/boat ramp. Next to a hyway so a little road noise but otherwise quiet during the week in the fall....

Steps to the water

We stayed 2 weeks. In early October, it's still warm enough to paddleboard and kayak. By mid October, the boats are being pulled off the water in preparation for winter weather. The sites are pretty well spaced, also half are waterfront. The other half are Waterview. There are vault toilets in the campground, but there are also flush toilets and a paid shower at the boat inspection station. Bring dollar bills for tokens. In Oct. it is really quiet at night even though the road runs right beside the campground. I suspect in the summer it is not as quiet. It is a very popular place for the locals. There is a marina between the 2 loop campground. The dump station is outside the campground, but is a good one. Good water pressure and potable water. There also is a potable water spicket in the loop. Electricity was stable. Deer wanderer in and out of the campgrounds and were always on the road. Beware. We stayed in site I 35 and I 36. It's about 30 min to Ft Collins, 40 min. to Loveland and 1 hr to Estes Park driving through a beautiful canyon.

Lake Camping

If you want to camp near a lake in the mountains this is a great start.

Early spring shake down

If you facing the water, its awesome. Residential area directly across the street kind of felt like you are on display. Called to make sure freash water was on for the season and was told it was. Showed up at 5pm and water was NOT on!

Beautiful

This campground was one of the most unique. When you wake up in the morning it sounds so peaceful from all the nature sounds. If you are looking to get away and go somewhere quiet and beautiful, this is the place to be!
