Greenhorn Mountain Mastery

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents1 acre ¡ Colorado City, CO
A nice area for you to pull a small to large RV, 5th wheel, tent camp, car camp, this is a great place that is quiet and will have you gazing up at the stars. Not to far off of I-25 if you need to take a rest for the night before heading on your way. The entrance is a bit bumpy but a Prius can make it through, so you should be solid, just go slow. Graneros Gorge is on your right and it is definitely a site to grab photos, just don't get to close to the edge and watch for rattle snakes. No facilities, just pack in and pack out. Lots of space so spread out and pitch a tent, bring the dogs, and four-wheelers, and enjoy some Colorado sunshine and fresh air. Colorado City/Rye exit has all your necessities, Dispensary, restaurant, and a ways down, is an ACE Hardware, Liquor store, and a small grocery store. It may be a bit hard to find if you are coming in after dark. However, you will get off on exit 71, follow the sign that says Graneros RD and take a left/North and follow it to the payment ends, you will make a sharp right turn, over a cattle guard. The road splits in a few directions but stay strait and the road curves around for about a quarter mile, then you'll see a T in the road, take a right and go about half a mile and you'll see the road going strait and you want to stay right until it dead ends. Area is on the right, but you can camp anywhere. If It is a bit muddy since its been raining and road is kinda rough when you first come in but smooths out. Stay on the high sides with your vehicle.

105 West Ranch

4 sites ¡ Lodging101 acres ¡ Goldfield, CO
A mountaintop ranch in Colorado that sits below the famous Colorado “14er”, Pikes Peak. This property sits on top of a mountain at an elevation of nearly 10,000ft and features 3 unique Glamping sites! The ranch features a tiny cabin, geodesic dome tent and platform canvas tent. The sites sit on 100 acres of private, pristine Colorado mountain land that offers over 3 miles of private hiking trails and unrivaled views in all directions. A large, mature aspen grove covers most of the property and views to the south stretch over 100 miles! Despite being on a mountain, over 70% of the property sits on level or gently sloping ground making it perfect for camping spots and events. The Eastern edge borders public land, infinitely expanding access and hiking opportunities. It’s only 1,500 feet from a large reservoir and river- both are accessible by hiking or an easy 5 minute drive. 105 West Ranch also has some deep and unique history. Our area was originally surveyed in 1881. After that, miners came through in the late 1800s and dug prospector pits looking for gold. Many of these pits and even some old tin cans from miner's camps are still visible on the property today. In 1931, the area was re-surveyed with more accuracy. In 1936, the President of the United States, FDR, granted a land patent (homestead) of 632 acres to homesteader. Part of this 632 acre homestead granted by the President was what is now 105 West Ranch. Fast forward nearly 100 years. My wife, Rachel, and I bought this property in 2019, fulfilling a life-long dream of owning our own land. Rachel and I live for the outdoors, we work in the outdoor industry and spend every chance we get exploring our beautiful state with our two dogs. As a 4th generation Coloradan, it's been a lifelong dream to own a (relatively) small part of the state my family has called home since the late 1800s. Now that we own our own piece of Colorado heaven we want to share the unforgettable experience, memories and beauty of our property with others looking for an escape from the city.

The best camping near Lake Pueblo State Park guide

Overview

About

Lake Pueblo State Park offers more than 60 miles of shoreline, 4,600 surface acres of water, and two full-service marinas, ideal for boating, sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, river tubing, and fishing for a variety of stocked fish. You’ll also find plenty to do on land, including excellent mountain biking and hiking along  some 75 miles of paved and unpaved trails. Nearly 400 campsites make it easy to spend the night—all include a paved parking area, covered picnic table, and fire pit, while some sites offer electric and water hookups.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for RVs campers and lake access: All of the sites in the Arkansas Point Campground feature 50-amp electric hookups and easy access to the south boat ramp.
  • Best for peace and quiet: There are no water or electric hookups in the Juniper Breaks Campground.
  • Best for groups: Loops M, N, and O in the Eagle View area of Northern Plains Campground are best set up to accommodate groups.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. All campsites require a reservation. During peak season, make a reservation as soon as you know your dates, as early as six months in advance.
  2. If your plans are flexible, try to visit during the week, during non-holiday periods, or in winter. The park is open year-round.
  3. Plan to arrive first thing in the morning to make a reservation for any potential unreserved sites.

When to go

The park is busiest between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Temperatures soar in summer, making it a popular time for water sports and the best fishing. The Rock Canyon Swim Beach is only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day from Thursday through Monday. Small game and waterfowl hunting is permitted in designated areas between Labor Day and Memorial Day. The park is open year-round, with generally mild temperatures, making non-peak periods a great time to escape the crowds. Winter is ideal for spotting water birds.

Know before you go

  • The North Shore Marina rents sailboats while the South Shore Marina rents pontoons and jet skis.
  • Swimming is not permitted in the reservoir (though wading is). Swimming is only permitted at the Rock Canyon Swim Beach, although there are no lifeguards.
  • Boating is permitted 24 hours a day, but loading and unloading is prohibited after hours.
  • Hunters may only use a bow and arrow or shotguns loaded with birdshot.
  • The park offers several accessible campsites, parking spaces, fishing piers, restrooms, showers, picnic tables, grills, and a paved path around the pond.
  • Bring your own firewood or purchase it onsite. Cutting or gathering wood in the park is prohibited.
