What Guests Are Saying
Island Lake Campground offers a beautiful, well-maintained setting with clean restrooms and friendly camp hosts who provide excellent service. The campground features spacious and private sites, ideal for fishing and hiking, with stunning lake views. However, access is currently limited due to construction, with a challenging one-lane road that may pose difficulties for larger vehicles.

The spacing of the sites is very nice. Many beautiful trees and wild flowers. Very well maintained. And the camp host was helpful and friendly. Our travel trailer is 36 ft.

The camp host removed the hose bib so no one can fill their RV with a hose. You have to drag multiple jugs to your RV. Furthermore, the camp host was hardly visible, never actually coming by to check in with us even though were there for a week. Not actually sure if he lived there or not. There were many days where the campground host left the Campground Full sign up even though there were many empty sites available. There is very little cellphone reception, except if you hike to the top of the hill by site 32, where you will get 3 bars/LTE service. The facilities themselves are nice, but the road is getting a bit rutted and needs some grading. In our experience, the people in the area don’t really want visitors as they are a bit unhelpful and do not seem to care. The only place that was helpful was the visitor center staff.

You do not control the weather but it was very buggy and we had hail. And as a result of the hail there was a lot of wash out of the campsite itself. Including the post falling over or if it's own accord. It seems like the drainage needs to be looked at to ensure that it is a little better. The trail around the lake is nice. The upper part of the campsite was nice.

The excellent weather and cooler air were wonderful. We appreciated the quietness of Island Lake campground. As usual excellent fishing in the Cobbett Lake which is by the Grand Mesa Visitors Center. We drove over to the Land's End Observatory overlook this time. A beautiful site. Next year, we plan to drive the Land's End road all the way to US Highway 50. Since there are +300 lakes and ponds on the Grand Mesa, bring bug spray to ward off the mosquitoes. As heads up to you internet junkies, there is free Wi FI at the Grand Mesa Visitors Center. Also, the Mesa Lakes Lodge is nearby if need last-minute grocery items and fishing supplies.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
