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 site was very unlevel. It had a nice view of the pit toilet. On the positive side the pit toilets were always spotless.

Would like to see a dump station and a fresh water hydrant that could be used to fill an RV fresh water tank added to this park.

The camp host did an excellent job of keeping things under control in the campground and keeping it very clean. The outhouses were clean and alway stocked with toilet paper.

The campsites are beautiful, and the lake was full of trout and the camp hosts were above and beyond friendly and kept the bathrooms very clean.
