What Guests Are Saying

Arapaho Bay offers a beautiful campground experience with friendly and helpful hosts, clean facilities, and access to scenic hiking trails and Monarch Lake. While some campers noted the proximity of sites and occasional noise, many appreciated the serene environment and wildlife sightings, including bears and moose. However, the lake's low water levels due to drought were a common concern, along with issues related to vehicle fees and road conditions. Overall, visitors enjoyed their stays and expressed a desire to return.

We got a spot right next to the lake. Even though the water level was low the view was supreme. The campground is far away from the city so is quiet. Our spot was get spacious and far away from other sites. The restroom was kinda far but it was very clean and well maintained. Met the host on the first and he was very friendly. The campground is very close to monarch lake which has beautiful views and is good for fishing and hiking. Definitely recommend this place, and we'll come back some time.
