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

This is our fifth visit to LaVista campground. The spectacular views of the mountains, lake vistas and walking trails draw us back year after year.
The camp hosts/manager was helpful and answered any questions.

Great experience. Campsites are spaced so you are not right on top of each other. Trails to the lakes are good, even with stairs so you are not slipping going down. Altitude is about 8600 ft so us older folk need to take it slower. The kids will enjoy going to Bishops Castle which is only 10 or 12 miles from the campsite.
