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

Very nice campground with comfortable, level sites. I had just enough trees to be comfortable and not too many to let my starlink work. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a very nice trail down to the lake where I caught fresh rainbow trout on dry flies. Had a nice campfire and met a few very friendly people here. I didn’t use any of the other facilities so can’t comment on them. Overall a great place to stay.
