Camping near Laporte guide

Overview

Where will your Colorado adventures take you while camping in Laporte? Are you heading west into the Rocky Mountains peaks that rise above the horizon? Or, are you heading east into the open prairies of Pawnee National Grassland? Stay in Laporte to hit the white water rapids of the Cache la Poudre River for fishing, rafting, and kayaking. When the bounty of outdoor recreation wears you out, head to Fort Collins to take in the renowned brewery scene. Laporte camping options range from dispersed locations in the Roosevelt National Forest to cabins and glamping getaways with a range of amenities. Private campsites are as diverse as the landscapes, with tent and RV sites on rocky ridges and open grasslands. Or maybe a cabin or a glamping yurt is more your style. Nearby Boyd Lake State Park is a recreational haven for boating, fishing, and swimming with a public campground onsite.
