"Clean bathrooms, sites spread out nicely and lake access for paddleboarding. Unique Colorado location."
"First time there was around 1978. Been our favorite since. The lake is magnificent, complete with islands, giant boulders, and peaceful beyond belief."
"We arrived on a Monday around 4pm and most of the spots were open, but it seemed like several others arrived at the same time as us and we actually snagged our spot right before someone pulled into it."
"The drive is totally beautiful especially during the fall. The road is lined with aspens and large boulders and massive rock bluffs."

"Beautifully placed right at the curve of the Poudre, there is a short walking trail next to it,a perfect hammock place in a shallow runoff, a spot to tether tubes or paddleboards in an eddy, a picnic table"
"The drive into the Poudre Canyon is a beautiful one. We camped Thursday to Sunday. Spots are scarce and were full by Friday mid day.
Some sights have shade, some do not."

"West Lake campground is a beautiful spot off 74. The lake is great for fishing, and the tent campsites are super private. Your pass includes access to other lakes in the surrounding area as well."
"Great view of the lake. Very quiet. Paths and fishing. Nearby local amenities."
"Big picnic table, bear-proof food box, close to river."
"The spots were well spaced, so I didn't feel like we were uncomfortably close to our neighbors. The campgrounds were well kept, and the guests were pretty quiet. I would definitely make a trip back!"

"Bellaire Lake Campground, located in the Red Feather Lakes region, is a hidden gem. With only 26 sites and situated at an elevation of 8,600 ft, it is serene and secluded."
"This lakeside campground is a gem. With 2 loops, one close to the river, and one a short walk away, it's a nice smaller alternative to other campgrounds in Red Feather."
"Our campsite was down a few steps and right next to the river flowing through the property, nestled amongst the pines, and shady. In this area, the distance between campsites was great."
"We were shocked at the availability of spaces given that Colorado is notoriously booked up by February.
Our space was The Overlook and it had an amazing view."
ScoutSuper nice spot but limited parking and a trek to get up
GuideHad so much fun! Camp site was very clean, level, and well kept. The highlight was fishing. BEAUTIFUL clear waters, PLENTY of trout, and great trails through the woods to explore. Absolutely love this place!
GuideA lot of good spots to pull off and relax for the night with a nearby stream, however if you have a car like myself I’d recommend the first couple spots as the road got pretty uneven and hilly shortly down the road
ScoutIt’s a good spot to camp and had nice views but there are no fire signs posted on the way up and if you are planning on walking up i wouldn’t recommend this spot because the way up is very steep and it’s a challenge to get up this path on foot.
GuideBig .. end of the road . Level for the tent.. large rock lift.. great for rock walking.. temperature cool in the cave .. wildlife around.. no mosquitoes. But biting flies..
ScoutRight off the Hwy 125, several spots for RVs and tents.
You should buy the (SWA) Annual Pass , $11 for the year for seniors. Colorado has lots of SWA camping, Good Verizon service!
We camped in a 22ft travel trailer
GuideWe stayed here for a night in August. Very nice and well-maintained campground. The views of the surrounding peaks were great from our site!
GuideThe sites were large. We found a nice spacious one a little off the road, there was a ditch between the road and the site so some higher clearance helped avoid scraping. Nice time overall.
ScoutQuiet, secluded, and peaceful on a Monday afternoon in July! Great views watching the sunset over the Rocky’s! Highly need a 4x4 to get here! Had a great time!
