Accessible only by hiking in, Hermit Lake sits at elevation near Crestone, Colorado, requiring campers to pack gear to the shoreline. The lake provides opportunities for fishing and swimming, with hiking and biking trails extending into the surrounding terrain. Campfires are permitted, and WiFi access is available despite the walk-in location.
Summer weather patterns can bring frequent afternoon storms to the area, as one recent camper noted persistent rain during their July visit. The high-altitude location means weather conditions can shift rapidly. For those planning extended stays in the region, campgrounds around Crestone offer additional base camp options with vehicle access.
