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

Water is the problem at the La Vista Campground. The camp host said that it is a State Law to fill your camper,,, OK,
So How does the Forest Service solve the problem?? Install back flow preventers,, that insures No Comtaminants in the water system.
On the this web site It does not state that 5th wheel/ Motorhome should bring there own water. We told that to one gallon container to fill our RV, LOL. Please put a NOTE on this web site for RVers to fill there water tanks. NO sewer central Clean out at the campground.
I was SO disapponited with this campground I packup left home. My reversation was 4 nights. I will NOT come back to this Area.
The HOST Couple were Very Good and explained All requlations.
Now, I prefere to go to the State Parks in Colorado.
