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

Campground was clean and quiet. Campground hosts were friendly and constantly going around cleaning and keeping sites clean right after people left. With plenty of restrooms and trash receptacles located around the campground. Water spigots located around campground but don’t have hose connections to fill campers. Lake is an easy walk from campground. No cell reception with Verizon or ATT, we didn’t mind and enjoyed the disconnect.

The camp host was very friendly and informative. The camp site was very well maintained and surrounding area was just beautiful! Just a short hike to the lake and stream.

A short weekend getaway is exactly what I needed. The campground host Heather and her Husband were so helpful with finding the right accommodations. I did not realize at the time I need an RV sport for a RTT, and they were so helpful in switching my spot to where I would be able to use the tent. Clean bathrooms, spicket water, and a relaxing weekend. Was beautiful with a overlook of the lake.

We had a beautiful campsite. Peaceful with lots of shade. The lake is a bit of a hike away, but definitely doable and worth it. Gorgeous lake with spots to sit on the lake edge and fish or picnic. No motorized boats allowed so it also is peaceful. Good for canoeing, paddle boarding or fishing with a belly boat. We will definitely go back.
