Lake John West State Wildlife Area

Managed by Colorado Parks & Wildlife within Lake John State Wildlife Area, this drive-in campground sits in North Park, one of Colorado's high-elevation mountain parks at roughly 8,000 feet. Access is by vehicle. The area draws anglers and waterfowl hunters, reflecting the wildlife area's primary management focus. Nearby options include Lake John East State Wildlife Area and several other designated camping areas around the same reservoir. Pack layers regardless of season, as North Park temperatures drop sharply after dark.
