LegendNice FF alternative to Island Lake CG
This CG is a much tighter site campground (no big RVs or 5th wheels IMO) than Island Lake CG nearby. Little Bear CG is all FF, and has about 34 sites. Vault toilets, water spigots, and dumpsters. $20/$10 senior. CG Host onsite, firewood for sale $10. Cell signal limited to none. I use Starlink-RV.
Access to Island Lake by foot paths from some sites and the very nice Island Lake Trail that hugs the entire east side of the lake.

GuideGood, relaxing vaca
Great place to go. Always enjoy camping in Grand Mesa. It’s not as busy as the Front Range and most spots are easy to get to
GuideWonderful spot
I pulled up early on a Friday morning and managed to snag a spot pretty close to the lake. Fantastic view and right next to the walking trails. The camp sights are spaced out enough but there isn't a much for privacy. The scenery makes it all worth it though. Unfortunately the spot I was in, was close to the restrooms. While convenient, I could also catch whiffs of the bathroom. No fun. Overall the sites were clean, maintained, and the camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely get back here!
