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 lush and green, short walk to the lake, sites were well maintained and the toilets were cleaned regularly and didn’t smell bad.
Our sites backed up to a grove of aspens and evergreens, we felt like we were in the woods. (Sites 26 & 27) Camp host was nice upon arriving and left us alone the rest of the time.
Will add this one to our yearly rotation.
Note, gas station is 30min away, nothing in town if you forgot an item or like to fill up your truck before hooking up the camper to go home.
Also- fill your water tank before arriving and Firewood is $10/bundle, so bring your own.

I love a clean bathroom! Thank you to the camp hosts for working to care for the entire campground, including keeping the facilities clean and pleasant (might be a little strong) to use. I appreciated having clean water at the spigot nearby. Although I didn't need it, I liked having the option to plug in if necessary. My site was clean and ready for me, the campground was quiet, the views were amazing and the stairs down to the river were easy to find and use.

Beautiful location, we didn't know what to expect, so very happy with the entire campsite. Friendly and attentive camp hosts. Very nicely kept. Our campsite number 026 did have a little bit of a slope to it, even jacking the trailer up all the way, we couldn't get level front to back. But other than that everything was great!
