Camping was closed due to Covid, but we strolled thru the campgrounds. The tent camping area was spacious and close to the water. The handful of RV sites were very close together and up the hill from the water, without much view.
The lake is nice and quiet, allowing kayak, canoe, and SUP.
I didn’t get to stay here, camping was closed due to COVID. However, we did get to see the campgrounds. Tent sites were nice and relatively spacious and close to the water. The hand full of RV sites were underwhelming and close together, and not near the water.
The lake is pretty and quiet, just canoes, kayaks and SUPs allowed.
Also bring your mtn bike, as the downhill park is just outside the park.
This is dispersed camping. There are pit toilets but no other services or amenities. Colorado State wild life areas (SWA) require a permit that’s ~$40 a year, or if you have a year fishing or hunting lisence you camp for free. The road around the lake is a little rough but we got out 25’ travel trailer back here no problem.
We stayed at a no hook ups site overlooking the water in the E loop site 17. Many of the waterfront sites were closed because they were underwater. Well spaced sites. $16 night, hence four stars w no hookups.
the Dyrt has this campground mislabeled as Parker Bottoms. PB campsite is a few miles away on CR136. I did not stay there.
Based on the website, we thought we had riverfront campsite. Technically we did, but thick trees separated us with no views. A small trail led down to the water that you could launch a kayak from, but not fish.
Sites were fairly level and well-spaced. A community water spigot in each loop for water. No potable water at the dump area on the way in. Very good cell reception at this campground, 3-4 bars of VZW.
Know that there is not much White River access in this area for bank fishing. A large day use area off the dam gives lake swimming and lake fishing access. The Beaver Lake Dam LAKE camp ground is close by and has waterfront sites.
Free camping. arrived on a Sunday and had a large pick of sites. We got a bluffside lake view site. Very pretty! Our site had no hookups, get water at the dump station on tour way in. Sites were a little trashy. We were able to do a short, steep, rocky scramble down to a little beach.
Pretty campground surrounded by mountain ranges. Services are limited-campsites have power but potable water is not available at the park. RV Park and store in nearby Blanca will let you fill up for $4. Communal dump station at park entrance. Sites were spacious and level. Only loop A has lake views, but not much to see.
Campers have to get a state wildlife pass ($42) which gives you a year of camping in state wildlife areas, or a year hunting or fishing license also gives access. Limit 14 days.
Stayed here for a weekend and had a great time! Easy access off the highway and a very convenient Walmart close by. We ended up having to stay in the overflow parking lot and didn’t regret it! There’s a great beach and it was waterfront. Also adjacent to the fishing pier. Two disc golf courses started across the from our site #615.
Only giving 4 stars because of the shared water and electric hookups. I needed more than 50ft of hose.
