Lake Hasty - John Martin Reservoir State Park

Reservoir camping in Eastern Colorado

We stayed at this campground on a weekend sightseeing trip. It is an hour away from Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site (and another 2 hours east one would arrive at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site).

This is your basic State Park Reservoir camping site. You will need a reservation and either an annual park pass or daily parking fee for your vehicles. There is large reservoir for boating and fishing. Swimming is allowed seasonally, but not during our stay. There was a few playgrounds for young kids near Hasty campground and a geocache nearby (watch out for cacti for the small children). Lots of space for the kids to run, play and ride bikes.

A lot of turkey vultures and a skunk were spotted from our campground. Very windy in a tent during our late April stay.  We had lunch at a picnic spot, but we were glad it was 70 degree April day because there was no shade at there.
