Arkansas Point Campground — Lake Pueblo State Park
Reviewed Apr. 28, 2021

Quiet in the shoulder season

General: One of three campgrounds at Lake Pueblo State Park, Arkansas Point is located on the eastern shore of the park and is easily accessible from the town of Pueblo. You must have a reservation but can make same-day reservations. In addition to the campsite fee, you must have a day-use pass ($10). Since we arrived after-hours, this was done at the self-pay station and there was no annual pass option with this method. 

Site Quality/Facilities: The driveways are gravel; some are back-in and some are pull-thru. Each site has a (covered) metal picnic table, fire ring, and electric hook-up. Site 5 was a good choice, with the exception being that the picnic table was quite a distance from the end of the driveway. Sites 7 and 9 also looked to be good, with the picnic tables closer. There are other sites that claim to have better lake views but these are also closer to the road. 

Bathhouse: Unisex bath/shower combos and they were clean. No soap dispensers and air-dryers only. Two hooks but it would have been better to have one closer to the shower. The shower was hot, however, be forewarned that the top button sprays water all over the bathroom so make sure you don’t have your clothes on the bench! The bottom button has a more direct spray. This happened to both my husband and me so it appears to be a design flaw. 

Activities/Amenities: There is a nearby marina if you are a boater. There is an extensive trail system used by hikers and mountain bikers, and most of the trails are well marked so that with the trail map, you can easily figure out where you are. We were passing through so other than one hike, did not take advantage of all this park has to offer but it is a scenic state park and worth coming back to.
