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

Beautiful and cool, we enjoyed our stay very much. Sites are well maintained. Never saw the host but really didn't need to see them.

Beautiful small campground with wonderful hiking into the forest. There are Nice trails along the river and all around the lake. Nice views from most of the campground. Lots of hummingbirds. We had some heavy rain during our stay. Water ran off quickly. No problems. We also experienced a power outage for a few hours one day, not associated with the rain storm. We would like to return!
