Sheps Canyon Campground is a pretty sweet deal, by which we mean there's a ton to do.

Sit back while we list the awesomeness in the form of a song. There’s a horse camp, a boat ramp, lots of places to camp camp, rent a kayak, rent a canoe, rent a fishing pole or two, you won’t get bored but if you do, there’s even wifi access too.

In all seriousness, though, Sheps Canyon Campground offers all that, plus great access to the lake. It's a beauty of a campground—one of the newest at Angostura Recreation Area—conveniently located along the Sheps Canyon Bay. You’ll probably want to stay and play all night and all day.
