Miramonte Reservoir

Combination Day Use & Campground

South of Norwood in Western Colorado, the Miramonte Reservoir is a remote lake found within the Dan Noble State Wildlife Area. It is maintained by Colorado Parks & Wildlife. With a valid state hunting, fishing, or public land license, the Miramonte Reservoir is free to visit and extremely popular for overnight or multi-day fishing and hunting trips. On-site, there are 405 surface acres of fishing water with restrooms, parking areas, and primitive campsites. This is a small free day use/campground. Locals use the sites for day use picnics & fishing. Near the end of the afternoon, the campground empties out. Single & double sites, some with wooden picnic table shelters. Paths from sites lead to popular fishing spots along the bank of the reservoir. In addition to tables, the sites include fire rings. Vault toilet is nearby - not the cleanest, but usable. Need to bring your own tp. The night was quiet except for a nearby pump that was pumping water out of the reservoir; a local person indicated that this was unusual. Got reasonable AT&T & T-Mobile service. At first, this place gave me a weird vibe, but it turned out to be a nice visit.
