“Great Views & Great Campground!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011
4
people found this review helpful

This is a great campground even with the removal of 99% of the trees due to recent beetle kill. (Note: The Google Earth satellite view is deceiving - the tree coverage shown is non-existent). That noted, the lake views were spectacular and access to bathrooms and showers is fairly easy. If RV'ing, the sites with the best views (270 degrees) are 16,18,20, 21,22,23 and 30 although sites 22 and 23 are shorter and more suited for popups. All the RV sites are back-in only and most are too narrow to park a vehicle alongside, therefore you're forced to park perpendicular to the front of your trailer, just off the road. This is a bit tight for larger towing vehicles but manageable.

Note that ALL sites with electricity that we saw have one 50A, one 30A and two 15A duplex plugs and ALL have potable water spigots. The dump station is easily accessible when departing and has an adjacent non-potable spigot (no hose) for cleaning tanks at the dump site. Lots of dumpsters are scattered around the campground.

Bring your kites! The advantage to the lack of trees is an wide open area for kite flying. Note that the wind picks-up around 10AM and is steady until 3-4PM (in June). Also, the boat launch is easily accessible and accommodating.

The park staff were very friendly and seemed to be always present when needed.

Overall it was a great experience! Yes, the trees were missed, but the lake views made up for it! Recommended.

“Great views, clean showers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2010

Breathtaking views, relatively quiet. Camp sites are along the lake with close access to the showers and bathroom facilities.

“Excellent Large Campground and RV facility on a beautiful Lake”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2006
8
people found this review helpful

Directions: In Granby, CO, at intersection of US Rt. 40 and US Rt. 34.
Take Rt. 34 east 8.6 miles to campground sign. Turn right into campground.
Description: Elevation 8,300 ft.. Located right on Lake Granby
Overview: This large Arapaho National Forest campground and RV sites sits on the banks of beautiful Lake Granby in Ground County just a few minutes from the Rocky Mountain National Park. The campsites are an adequate size and very well cared for and very well marked. Because this is such a huge campground there are many choices of sites, some are just off of the water and others are further away and more in the shade. They
have bathrooms with showers. The management is present and they do a good job of managing the campground.
Our Objective: To camp in the Grand Lake/Lake Granby area hopefully on water. We saw photos of beautiful Lake Granby with the mountains in the background on the web and wanted to stay on this lake.
The Property: Consists of many choices of campsites/RV. This is a beautiful location right on Lake Granby. Lake Granby is a Man-made lake/resevior. The lake is located in the National Forests. The lake is beutiful and has a very natural feel to it - only campgrounds are found on the lake and have lake frontage. (or at least there is not alot on the lake except for natural forests etc.(there may be a building a two but it is minimal.
The Bathrooms/Showers: I would describe there bathrooms and shower facility as average - but very clean. This facility is older, but they do a good job of keeping it clean. I did not care for the hooks to hang up your clothes when taking a shower. Other than that, I have no complaints. The facility was clean and the water was good and that is what is important
Our Campsite: (Number 111) Our Campsite was adequate and was located at the bottom of about 5 other sites. Our site was the closest to the water. The whole site was level and had a very roomy place to pitch a tent. There was a picnic table and fire circle. The site was not wooded. But this was not a problem for us (we were there only after 5 PM). We loved the location of being closest to the water and what a beautiful view.
Conclusion: We highly recommend this campground. They did an excellent job at taking care of the place and keeping it clean and most of all the setting was GREAT.
