Fishing enthusiasts and water sports lovers will find Vega State Park's largest campground positioned along one of western Colorado's most substantial lakes. Aspen Grove Campground accommodates RVs up to 55 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing basic services.
The campground spreads sites across varying elevations, with some positioned on higher ground overlooking the water below. "Our site was 209 which was a pull-in site with fire ring and picnic table. We felt it was relatively private with the surrounding aspens trees and flowering foliage," notes one camper. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables, though restrooms require a walk from many locations. The surrounding aspen forest provides natural screening between sites.
Anglers consistently report success on the lake, with trout limits commonly reached. Hiking and biking trails wind through the area, and winter brings cross-country skiing opportunities. Wildlife sightings occur regularly throughout the larger campground. The visitor center sits just five minutes away by car for supplies and information.
Access roads can be rough, requiring careful navigation to reach sites. The campground operates from mid-May through fall with reservations available. At $28 per night, Aspen Grove works well for RV campers seeking full hookups and lake access, plus tent campers comfortable with the walk to facilities.
