Popular activities included fishing, canoeing and boating on Chambers Lake, which is a no-wake lake. Anglers cast for rainbow, cutthroat and lake trout. A boat ramp is located within the campground. Please note the boat ramp may be unusable in late summer due to low water levels. The lake is a storage reservoir for irrigation water and is drawn down over the course of the summer.The Blue Lake Trail No. 959 begins nearby. The 7.2-mile trail provides access to the Rawah Wilderness. Several additional hiking and biking trails can be found in the surrounding area.

Natural Features

GuideVery Nice! 🏕️
We stayed one night and enjoyed it. Large campsites, clean. Buggy.
ScoutGorgeous Getaway
The location is gorgeous. The sites are fairly spacious and the campground is well maintained. The burn scar around the lake is significant and closed the fabled waterfall hike. The water was low with a large mud beach, the water very cold, and the area very windy - therefore the water was not useable. Good for low key trip - sitting in a hammock and enjoying the view.
Guidemy favorite campground in CO
we stumbled upon chambers one night last year at sunset after driving the full route 14 and finding nothing open. when we pulled in we saw a moose in the woods. we got to the opening of the campground and there were 3 signs in 3 different ways that said nothing was available. as we were turning around a lovely woman and her grandchild walked up to us and offered us her second campsite that was reserved for her family but they weren’t coming. we ended up staying for 2 nights. the lake is stunning. we fished. we hiked. we were inspired by everyone there to buy our own blow up kayaks. we’re finally going back this weekend after a year of waiting for it to reopen from the cameron peak fire. we cannot wait!! it’s a magical place.
