About La Vista Campground - Lake Isabel

La Vista Campground is situated in a meadow overlooking the west side of the 40-acre Lake Isabel. It is set along the Frontier Pathways and Historic Byway in the Wet Mountains along one of the Colorado Birding Trails. Lake Isabel is one of the few lakes in Colorado developed purely for recreation purposes. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the lake attracts many campers who come to hike, canoe, fish and spend time bird watching. St. Charles Creek flows near the campground and offers additional fishing opportunities.

Number of accommodations: 22

Our campsite was beautiful and shaded, we were right by a trail that led down to the creek and it only took us 10 minutes to follow the trail to the lake! The campsite is very well maintained by staff as well! Thank you for a wonderful trip! We definitely will be back!

The campground hosts were excellent at keeping the pit toilets clean and stocked with TP. The surroundings are always amazing…even when it is chilly and rains!
