What Guests Are Saying
Lakeview Campground offers stunning views, well-maintained sites, and a private, quiet atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors. Many appreciated the clean facilities and helpful camp host, Rick, who enhances the experience. While some sites may be smaller than advertised and noise from nearby roads and dispersed campers can be an issue, the overall beauty and accessibility to trails and nearby lakes make it a worthwhile destination.

We love this campground. The hosts are super nice and the amenities are always super clean and well maintained. Bonus is that we did a gorgeous 5 mile hike and were able to leave right from our site!
The ONLY downside is that this campground attracts some weird people sometimes. 2 out of the 4 times I’ve been here we have encountered uncomfortable things at night. First time was a guy yelling at people in our loop to “shut the f*** up” over and over even when people quieted down and were responding politely. Second time (summer 2022) my wife and I heard a full on domestic dispute. This went on from 1-3am. When we heard a woman screaming over and over at the top of her lungs we called Leadville police, packed up in the middle of the night with very little sleep and drove back to Denver. We did not feel safe to stay there in our tent.
So, this was our top camping spot and now I doubt we will go back :(. Too bad. I know it’s not the hosts fault at all so I don’t blame them but it’s the reason I can’t give this spot 5 stars. I won’t go back.

Sites well space out, clean and quiet campground. Host was around without being around - nice guy who keeps a really nice campground.
Huge campground with plenty of space for kids to play and right off the Colorado trail. Really liked it here and will definitely return.

Dan was a wonderful host, site and bathrooms were clean. Camped during the new moon and had a wonderful opportunity for excellent star gazing. Would definitely camp here again

There were DOZENS of no-shows for reserved sites. We have seen this all over this summer. People who make reservations and don't cancel and don't show up need to have restrictions/penalties on future reservations. They gobble up sites for the entire summer then don't use the reservations, leaving sites open that no one else can use who wants to be camping. This is a massive problem across the state of Colorado that we have experienced again and again.
