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

Loved this place! Beautiful scenery The sites were decently spread apart, the Camp Hosts were very friendly and knowledgable. The facilities were always nice and clean.
We had fun hiking around the lake and kayaking.
Definitely recommend La Vista.

Beautiful but all the campground employees are like ants on a sugar cube. Way to many- they just drive around and around starting at 7 am

Nice campsite tucked away behind beautiful Lake Isabel, which is within walking distance (though it's a bit of a trip) and stocked full of trout ready to go after your bait. Worms were all we needed for a full stringer to grill over the fire. We were welcomed the evening we arrived by the campground host and outside of that, were left to ourselves.

The campsite and grounds were in great shape. The camp managers were friendly and polite. Our stay was quiet and comfortable and our time on the water was idyllic. Thanks!
