Lake Hasty Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park
Nice State Park CG just below the John Martin Reservoir Dam
We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 55 for 2 days in mid June. The pull-through sites are very roomy, lots of open space and fairly level. This is a fairly large CG and there were only a few other campers here mid-week. The road leading to the CG is a little bumpy, but not too bad. The gravel roads within the CG are filled with fairly significant pot holes that must be maneuvered around and there are a few low branches that need to be trimmed. The men’s showers were rust stained, but otherwise fairly clean, but my wife said there was hair on the floor and walls of the women’s showers. The showers are coin operated and mine was amply hot, but the water heater kept shutting off every 45 seconds or so. Turning the faucet off and back to hot would start it again. My wife said hers didn’t shut off, but only got warm. Water spigots available around the CG, but the one nearest us was out of service. AT&T coverage was decent, with 1-2 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 3.5 MB/s. We had a clear view of the southern and northern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site and Starlink had speed up to 5 MB/s.

Lake Hasty Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park
Popular state park in SE Colorado
John Martin Reservoir is huge and is a big draw for fishermen and boaters. There is some camping above the dam which is very basic and the main campground is located on Hasty Lake in a stand of Cottonwood trees. As you enter the Hasty location there is a dump station ahead on the left just after the turn into the campground. The first camping sites are on the right and shade is limited to metal pergolas. Continuing into the park you pass the bathroom with laundry and showers and take any of several loops to access your campsite. These are mainly under a dense cottonwood canopy. There are a few sites right on the shoreline of Hasty lake, which are quite popular and have great views across the small lake.

There is cellphone service, I don't recall if there is wood for sale, but campers did have fires. Sites have fire rings picnic tables. If you drive out of the park past the dump station and follow the road you arrive at a swimming beach and kayak launch area. The area is home to many birds including hawks, herons, and pelicans.

Lake Hasty Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park
Sleeping by the Dam
It's hard to give this place the credit it deserves when you come off of a mountain over 10,000 feet!!! Sites 1-20 something are up next to the dam and levee. Site 9 is the farthest from the road that separates this section from the bigger portion of the campground. There is only electricity at these sites with community water. There are restrooms (that we didn't use) and garbage containers scattered throughout. This park's saving grace is the lake and the abundant wildlife... mostly birds, but beaver and skunks were seen! Roads are paved, sites are rock with little cabana-type shelters, a picnic table and fire ring. Sites 1-20 something have scattered small trees... site 9 probably had the largest... a young cottonwood. The largest section of Hasty campsites are well treed, some at water's edge. If you're going to stay longer than 1 night, especially during the summer, try to reserve in the big section with trees! It's a popular, year-round park with fishing on Hasty Lake and boating on the reservoir side!

Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground
Off the beaten path and beautiful.
We boondocked with the kiddos in a travel trailer. Saw two other cars, two people, and one other campsite was occupied. There are 4 numbered campsites, and an overfill pull off with a fire ring just before the campground on the left that may or may not supposed to be there. April weather is great, we came here for some reprieve from our mountain winter and were not disappointed. Even in April, bring plenty of water, it’s easy to dehydrate here. The canyons and rock formations are beautiful. Campsite 1 has great rocks right behind it, fun for the kids to play on but more exposed to winds. Campsite two is better for tent camping and has a cool sand pit. Campsite 3 is flat and great for a trailer or RV, and right by the toilet (where we stayed), and campsite 4 is a short walk to some fun terrain.

La Junta KOA
An easy overnight spot
I'm not sure what you'd do for more than a day in La Junta, but this was a great overnight spot for us in late September. (Old Bent's Fort is worth the side trip). Not crowded and restrooms were clean. Nice pull through sites, cute older playground, and a pool if you're in season. Late arrival instructions were obviously posted.

Lake Hasty Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park
Clean and Well Maintained Campground
Spent the night in early March 2023 on our way back to Colorado from picking up our new Casita travel trailer in Texas. Only four sites were occupied on the evening that we stayed there. The trees were leafless and the grass was that lovely winter brown color, but we loved the solitude and peacefulness of a nearly empty campground.

Lake Hasty Campground — John Martin Reservoir State Park
Popular campground with shade and lots of birds
I come here most springs for bird migration -- it's fantastic to see the variety of birds that move through this campground. Mature trees provide shade to a large portion of the campground, while another portion is in full sun (with picnic table shades). Popular for weekend boaters and fishers, bathrooms don't stay very clean. Right on a small lake popular for small wakeless craft, includes a swim beach. Part of the State Park system, so expect to pay an entrance fee if you don't have your annual pass.

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.
