"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"

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."
TravelerI enjoyed this campground because it is quiet and you can have the rushing river behind you. I have stayed here twice. It is close enough to the city of Loveland where you can access stores. I was able to get my laundry done at a good price and the sites are decent in size. Some sites are smaller where your neighbor feels close to you but other sites are wider.
TravelerTucked away at the South Marina. You're close to paddle boarding, kayaking, or swimming. Wildlife walks thru usually daily, shaded spots go quickly!! The Marina with small $$$ general store, you can get fishing license there too, located north side lake. Eagle campground has beautiful shower house, get shower tokens before you go in!!!
Guideso initially i was looking for dispersed spot and came accost this, online there was a camp ground and dispersed spots the camp ground was $25 which i was not willing to pay for so i stayed at the road over. i believe it was a trailhead and a place to stay, no signs or anything but others were camping with us. the campground did look nice sorry i dont have much to stay!
ScoutRest rooms and showers good. Quieter than most parks in this area. I would recommend it.
GuideThe road is okay it goes up and up and up with little issue. There are campsites way up in there. Some need 4x4 to get to some you can just pull off the road a little. The place didnt have a great vibe. Lots of homeless type setups. The woods is all burnt up so it is a little depressing and alot of bugs. Some great views tho and a little verizon cell depending depending which way you are facing. Overall this juat didnt feel right. Maybe different other times of year
GuideThere were aspen grove near by.. did not see any bears .. but chipmunk n deer were close. The site was unleavel.. but worked for me.. was a fire pit but didn't use it.. alot of Granite rocks about. 8000 ft + cool enough at night.. 10 degrees cooler than Cheyenne.. in July..
ScoutInitially, the campgrounds were hard to find. Keep driving down Ski road until you find a fork in the road, and from there onwards are the campsites. Good whitenoise from the creek
GuideLong dirt road, with many spots to pick from along it. Road was bumpy but most cars could manage. Lots of wildlife; squirrels, rabbits, and a moose that walked right by our campsite. There was some trash near the fire ring, but the rest of the site was clean.
ScoutAbout 25 knot winds during the day, with strong sun. Beautiful mountain and lake view. We pitched a tent at sunset when the wind died down and held it down with some rocks, was a bit buggy after that. 5 bars of T-Mobile Amazing stars. Skipped the swim due to potential algae blooms.
