    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Point Campground

    We stayed here 4th of July weekend. The lake hasty spots were all booked up but there was some on the point available last minute. These spots have some of the best views for the sunset. Some things to consider. No water so bring your own or you’ll have to go fill up at the lake hasty one. Bathrooms were available for few so you have to walk or drive up to them. Clean spots but no shade and very windy/buggy. The breeze at night kept us cool and didn’t get very hot until after 10am. people were walking down to the water to fish from the camp spots. We were able to drive our car into the wildlife area where you could park very close to the water and post up all day. I think you can also disperse camp like that but read the rules. We also drove across the dam and found some awesome sandy spots on the water. Dispersed camping was also available there. We posted up all day and had a blast playing in the water with our dog. Hardly anyone around. We went and got more ice on our second day at the bait shop right outside the park down the school road.

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Dry camping with big skies

    We camped here in mid May during the week.  We were one of only 5 campers in the entire campground.  It is dry camping so come prepared.  It is also wide open with trees only off in the far distance.  If it is windy, which it often is in eastern Colorado, come prepared.  During the summer the sun will be unrelenting.  I have no doubt on a hot summer weekend, the sound of generators will be very annoying.

    But on the day we were there, the weather was fantastic, the wind mild and the temps cool for night time sleeping.  One side note, if you need a dump station there is one in the Hasty campground also in the park.  It has 4 lanes but it does not have water of any kind so you do not have the ability to wash your tanks.

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Reserve ahead of time - camp reservation system unrealible using phone

    This is more of a review on the Colorado's reservation system than the campground it self.  This is a by reservation only campground, which I did not know about before arriving as I was traveling and this was not my intended stopping point for the night.  As it turned out I was unable to camp here.  Arrived at 7pm after hours and they only way to make a day of reservation was to use their online system which started out fine.  Made a account with Colorado, then made one for the reservation system got to the final step and then it would not let me agree to the terms of service, tried numerous times with out luck.  They have two ways to pay for your entrance to the park, by paper or electronic means at a kiosk, but only through their reservation system for a campsite.  Would be nice if the kiosk would let you reserve a site.  So if you are traveling and need a campsite get here early while park staff are still on duty or you might be out of luck.

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Not exactly what I expected

    Very large open gravel and prairie area. Long drive from there entrance to sites on gravel roads. Sites near water are still about 100-200 yards from the water. Lots of wind, no trees. The basic sites have a table, grill, parking pad, and tent pad, all on gravel. The area is very large so getting to the bathroom is a hike. Requires reservation plus a park pass you can buy at an automated kiosk. Access to site is via the visitor center boat inspection area which has the self serve kiosk. Overall the site is fine, and when I went on a weekday in July there was only one other camper in the whole area - right next to me. The water is pretty but that's probably where others will camp just FYI.

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Overpriced for what’s there

    $20 for campsite plus $9 fee if you don’t hold a Colorado State Park pass, total $29 for no electric or water and pit toilets not near campsites. No shade at the “Pointe”. It’s a dam on the Arkansas River set in the prairie. Buggy. No easy access to the water near campground. Smell of cattle feed lots on the breeze.

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Good site. No water.

    Low light pollution, closest water is at Hasty campsite 10 minute drive away. No wind shelters on picnic tables. Mosquitos can drain a cow in 15 minutes. Bring Deep Woods Off. Closest campsite was about 100 feet away.

    Last minute

    We were traveling through and needed a place to crash for the night so we decided to stop in for the night... Was a great family friendly environment and pet friendly... Would recommend them without hesitation... I look forward to camping there more in the future myself...

    Point Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park

    Beautiful but buggy!

    We come to this reservoir all the time! They do a have a boat ramp and a few “beaches” to set up at if you want. But it’s covered in bugs. I know I know, that’s what camping is about BUT they are just annoying! Takes me a good hour after each trip to vacuum they all up out of the camper after each trip!

What to do

Fishing from shore: Access fishing spots directly from Point Campground at John Martin Reservoir State Park, where campers can walk down to the rocky shoreline. "People were walking down to the water to fish from the camp spots," notes Diana H.

Sandy beach exploration: Drive across the dam to find secluded sandy areas along the reservoir. "We drove across the dam and found some awesome sandy spots on the water. Dispersed camping was also available there. We posted up all day and had a blast playing in the water with our dog. Hardly anyone around," shares Diana H.

Stargazing after sunset: Take advantage of minimal artificial lighting for exceptional night sky viewing. "Low light pollution," mentions Tad C., making Point Campground ideal for astronomy enthusiasts or casual stargazers.

What you should know

Limited facilities: Point Campground lacks immediate water access and nearby restrooms. "No water so bring your own or you'll have to go fill up at the lake hasty one. Bathrooms were available but few so you have to walk or drive up to them," advises Diana H.

Insect preparation: Summer months bring heavy insect activity, particularly mosquitoes. "Mosquitos can drain a cow in 15 minutes. Bring Deep Woods Off," warns Tad C. from Point Campground.

Weather considerations: The open prairie location experiences significant wind with no natural barriers. "It is wide open with trees only off in the far distance. If it is windy, which it often is in eastern Colorado, come prepared," cautions Doug W.

Additional fees: State Park fees apply beyond campsite costs. "Overpriced for what's there. $20 for campsite plus $9 fee if you don't hold a Colorado State Park pass, total $29 for no electric or water and pit toilets not near campsites," notes Karl M.

Tips for camping with families

Timing considerations: For comfortable temperatures, avoid mid-summer heat when possible. "The breeze at night kept us cool and didn't get very hot until after 10am," shares Diana H. from Point Campground.

Tips from RVers

Dump station access: RV campers should note service availability varies between campgrounds. "If you need a dump station there is one in the Hasty campground also in the park. It has 4 lanes but it does not have water of any kind so you do not have the ability to wash your tanks," advises Doug W.

Generator noise consideration: During busy summer weekends, prepare for ambient noise at non-electric sites. "During the summer the sun will be unrelenting. I have no doubt on a hot summer weekend, the sound of generators will be very annoying," warns Doug W.

Reservation requirements: Point Campground requires advance booking through Colorado's reservation system. "This is a by reservation only campground, which I did not know about before arriving as I was traveling and this was not my intended stopping point for the night," cautions Dexter I.
