About this campground
Some campsites are on the shore while others overlook the lake. Still others are tucked back and away from the lake. Shoreline sites are open and on an unmarked spur road, while remaining sites are shaded and more secluded. The campground provides convenient access to the many lakes on the Grand Mesa.
