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

Well maintained, quiet, friendly host and tons of fun things to do! Hiking, atving, fishing, paddle boarding and the infamous Bishop Castle is a short commute. Will be back!

Beautiful campground, but sites vary with privacy or openness. Access to the lake is outside the campground and you have to pay (a donation to a church) to park. You have to carry your kayak about 150 ft down the boat ramp to reach the water. It is a small, but beautiful lake and the surrounding mountains make it especially pretty.
