"The site is about two hours west of Trinidad Colorado in the Spanish Peaks Area along scenic highway 12."
"This area has everything Colorado at 11,500’. There is a waterfall, a lake, some marsh land and plenty of views! Up on the adjacent mountainside are a few old mining locations and some caves."
$36 - $41 / night
"This place has something for everyone: camping, hiking, fishing, boating on the lake, playground for kids, and close to Trinidad for supplies and dining."
"Up on the top of a hill next to the lake, so not much access to the water. One year, when the water was low, it took about 15 min both ways up/down pretty rough and rugged trails."
$28 - $250 / night
"Nice to be that close to the lake. One thing to keep in mind, from the campsites there isn’t great access to the lake, you’ll need to come in From the East entrance to the park for lake access."
"As is typical of Colorado State Parks, Trinidad Lake is clean, well thought out, and beautiful."
$45 - $50 / night
"Fair pricing, play area for kids(needs supervision), liqueur store in walking distance, laundry is walking distance. And in a great town with nice people."
"Deer walking thru the campground at dusk was a neat site."
"This lake is in an absolutely beautiful part of the country. The campsites are all situated around the lake and each has a great lake view. Fishing is good as well."
"When you first drive in there are secluded tent spots, then small cabins. There are many spots all around the lake, with large tenter sites on the opposite bank of the lake."
$25 / night
"The area surrounding Purgatory is GORGEOUS. It’s straight out of a movie or picture book."
"No access to electric or water. Road to camp is rough. Beautiful scenery. Short drive to Chucara and Stonewall."
"Drive past the wildlife area sign that says no camping. That sign is only for the entranced area. On down the road you will see the entrance and pay station for the campgrounds. Gorgeous!"
"Don’t get confused by the state area, drive up the dirt Roy’s until you see Forest Service."
$15 / night
"This campground has 3 walk in tent campsites, a pit toilet, picnic tables, fire pits and great access to West Spanish Peaks trailhead. Very clean & quite. Great Mountain View’s."
"Great campsites great trails this is a hidden gem"
"This is a small RV Park at Raton Pass almost to the Colorado border. Situated at the top of a hill, the views here are outstanding."
"It used to be our favorite stop on our way to Colorado. It is still a beautiful location, but our most recent experience was not up to what it has been in the past."
$25 / night
"Beautiful place in Southern Colorado. It is a busy (small), very pretty campground Southern CO (not all spots are shaded). Great Hosts with clean vault toilets. "
"The views driving up from the main road are absolutely stunning. I was here when the leaves were changing in the fall and I’m not sure there are many places in Colorado more beautiful than up here."
TravelerWe stayed 3 nights on our first trip with our new rig. The spot was mostly level making set up easy. We had access to a fire pit as well as a grill and table. The creek flowed about 75’ from the site. The camp host was great and very friendly. The bathrooms were clean. Road noise was minimal.
GuideWe had a blast staying here. 23 ft travel trailer Water from hydrants only, no connections, no dump, and they clean vault toilets Hiking trails from the campground Host was very knowledgeable and helpful
Some sites are short, very few are level, some have a steep slope. Good shade and sun mix , mature trees, nice creek flows through the campground , it’s very pretty and relaxing. The loop to the left side near the host is more level and can handle bigger RVs but overall this is not a big rig campground. Some rigs could not get level…….
Lots of places to explore nearby.
We will stay again
Travelervery expensive for the quality, but very pretty. Fun lake to swim in, campsites are pretty close together
TravelerWe decided to stay at this campground because bear lake campground was too crowded for us. It’s not exactly what we hoped for because sadly there’s not as many trees as the pictures show due to heavy snowfall fall from this past winter I’m sure. It’s still really pretty! You can see the mountains clearly without the trees so it works out alright. I would say if you don’t like to see other people when you’re camping, this probably isn’t the place for you. Less chance of bears with more people around though! Definitely use the bear boxes! Overall good spot, would definitely consider coming back:)
TravelerI only drove up to the campsite and was disappointed because there was probably only a couple feet in between campsites and it felt really crowded. Theres not as many trees as the pictures show due to heavy snowfall this last winter I’m sure. We drove back down the road to blue lake campground and it was a little better spaced. Just know there are near by options if it’s not what you were looking for.
GuideThe higher you go, the rougher the road, but plenty of sites. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and had plenty of option. If anything I struggled to find a level site-but plenty of rocks to help with that.
Fire rings made of rocks everywhere. Lots of bugs, not so much mosquitoes of an issue, but rather gnats.
Seeing all the side by sides gave me some caution, but they go up high on the mountain, and weren’t disruptive.
Great sunset! Great views!
TravelerNo laundry or bathroom/showers. Full hookups, fairly reasonable at $40 per night. Small park, very close together but a nice view of the lake. Owner is very nice and helpful.
GuideWe stayed in the first entrance sent to the left as you enter the smallish tent area, I'd guess site #1. The tent pad is standard size but we sleep in 2 single tents and we're tight. The campground is right off the road, and while there wasn't a lot of traffic, we heard everything go by. The vault toilet is nearby, I am unsure if there is potable water at the site. We stayed one night in June, temps were in the upper 40s and there had been a pretty big rain just prior to our arrival. Nonetheless, the campsite itself is decent, I took points for it's proximity to the road, lack of privacy, and small sites. Surrounding scenery is non-existent from the site, but a short drive and there are some beautiful sights to behold.
TravelerQuick trip here overnight. lots of spots on the drive up to the peak, so don’t have to make it the whole way. Definitely need 4x4 for the trail. the peak is essentially an open lot but the spots on the way up have space for tents
