Colorado parks and wildlife

Unfortunately, about an hour after I set up camp, I was approached by a Colorado Parks and wildlife Ranger. Apparently you have to have a hunting license or a park pass to stay here. So I’m gonna pack up for the night but I would come back after I have a pass. It’s quiet and very flat. Just what I needed for the night.

Quite & off grid

Not much more than a mowed field. Actually the mower came in right after we set up. Only one shaded spot not tables & no fires allowed. Vault toilet with toilet paper.

Nice Dispersed Camping Site

I arrived after dark, which wasn’t optimal, but it worked out well. I drove past the compost toilet shack on down closer to the boat ramp area and car-camped for the night. I only saw one other vehicle at the location and that person was taking night sky photos. The composting toilet was in desperate need of a cleaning but it worked. Lots of birds to listen to and watch.

Lovely Foliage

This lake bed is nearly dry so the camping was super empty. There’s some basic composting toilets but otherwise no facilities. I loved how remote and empty it was.

No trees, high plains, hot in June, windy, not crowded

About 15 parking spots off the road in a grassy patch with some bushes. Each spot with a sign labeled "parking" and not explicitly prohibiting camping. Arrived at 5pm and no one else was there but it was 100 degrees (June) too hot to set up tent etc so left and returned when the sun was setting at 8pm. Still no one else at the site and it had cooled down so began setting up tent but while sun was setting the winds picked up enormously (over 18mph) and whipping tent around it was too windy to tent camp so left around sunset. It would be a great camp site if it wasn't too windy! Very spacious, open land, birds singing, few people, green grass and bushes, near a reservoir for fishing, and no bugs besides ants, anthills, flies, grasshoppers, and stink bugs. Bathrooms down the road and good cellphone service

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Neenoshe Reservoir camping located and how do I access it?

Neenoshe Reservoir is located near Eads, Colorado. The camping area consists of about 15 parking spots situated in a grassy area with some bushes. Each parking spot is clearly marked with a sign. Access is straightforward via a road that leads to the reservoir, with the camping spots located off this main road. The area is quite remote, making it a peaceful destination for those seeking solitude. Look for the boat ramp area, which is a popular spot for overnight camping.

What fishing opportunities are available at Neenoshe Reservoir?

Fishing opportunities at Neenoshe Reservoir may be limited as water levels fluctuate seasonally. The reservoir has been noted to be nearly dry at times, which affects fishing conditions. When water is present, the reservoir typically supports warm water fish species common to Colorado reservoirs. Anglers should check current water levels before planning a fishing trip. The remote nature of the location means you'll likely have plenty of space to yourself while fishing.

What camping rules and regulations apply at Neenoshe Reservoir near Eads?

At Neenoshe Reservoir, campfires are not permitted, so plan to use alternative cooking methods. Camping is allowed in designated parking areas, which are marked with signs. There don't appear to be specific time limits for stays, but as with most public lands, extended camping may have restrictions. The area is primitive with minimal management presence, but standard public land etiquette applies: pack out all trash, respect wildlife, and maintain quiet hours. For official and current regulations, check with local land management agencies before your trip.

What amenities and facilities are available for campers at Neenoshe Reservoir?

Neenoshe Reservoir offers very basic amenities for a primitive camping experience. Facilities include composting/vault toilets, though their condition varies and they may need maintenance. Toilet paper is sometimes available. There are no hookups, potable water, or electrical connections. Camping spots are in an open, mowed field with very limited shade—only one shaded spot has been noted. No picnic tables are provided. The boat ramp area serves as a popular spot for car camping.
