Head west of FoCo to reach Horsetooth Reservoir, which offers a variety of waterside camping activities. Here you can suit up and go scuba diving, picnic by the shore, or relax on a boat. Almost 2,000 acres of public land allows for hiking and rock climbing as well. Campsites usually fill up for the weekends, so call ahead to reserve!
If you're looking for camping in the city itself, hit Fort Collins/Lakeside KOA. As the name implies, you'll find standout lakefront sites here. Tired out after a long day of mountain hiking? The campground also includes deluxe cabins with hot tubs.
