Chambers Lake

This campground is beautiful! The lake was really low, and it's right in the recent burn area, but the campground was still lovely. Each site has a bear locker, tent pad, fire ring. There are toilets and water pumps throughout the campground. I'm looking forward to coming back next year!

very clean and peaceful

The campsite was great! Loved the huge bear-proof box for our food. It made a great kitchen.

This site is close to two bathrooms. Non-flushing toilets only. Plenty of TP. No showers. There is a water pump at each bathroom. Great for washing hands and getting water to douse the campfire.

We forgot our chairs but the huge picnic table was close enough to the fire pit and worked for campfire seating. The table also has wheelchair access. Chopped firewood was available for $7 at the campground next to the campground guide’s RV.

The morning sun peeks through the trees here and warms up the site around 9-10 am. At night, you can lie in the driveway and have a great view of part of the sky. We even saw the Milky Way! Lots of trees at this site. Great shade and great hammock trees!

The nearby boat ramp was a good place to put in for kayaking. We drove to it for ease of hauling our gear. The lake is super low this year. (Maybe 20 ft low.) Lots of muddy areas with no lake water near this camp site. Yet, there is still plenty of lake to play on in other parts.

Signs said there was a bear active in the area. We didn’t see signs of any bears. We did have 2+ foxes run right through our campsite just after all the light left the night sky.

If you need gas, exit the campground and turn left. You’ll find it in about 20 mi at Archer’s Poudre River Resort. The pump is somewhat hidden behind their sign. Their gas was 70 cents cheaper per gallon than the next place down the road. You can also turn right out of the campground and there is a gas station about 40 mi.

The burn area from the 2020 fire is huge. Cleanup efforts from the 2021 mudslide are still underway. There is so much mud, debris, trees, and boulders in and around the Poudre River east of this campsite. Check local fishing reports for updates. For now (2021) you’ll want to fish upstream from the campsite.

We’d stay at this site again!

Great

So sad that the forest is dying in the surrounding area. Who knows how long untll it affects the campground. Luckily the fires did not occur around the lake. There are some road construction delays due to fires and flooding.

Campsites 13 and 15 where nice. Saw lots of moose south of campground and even had a cow and her calf come within 30 yards of site 13. Saw mule deer but they are nervous so hard to get a pic. Fishing was very slow and only catching in middle of lake. Only thing we didn’t like was camp hoist only resupplied toilet paper. Never cleaned the restrooms the whole week I was there

The area was beautiful the campsites were fine the campsite host was grouchy.

We camped at Chambers Lake CG in the middle of August 2021 and found it to be a very nice campground with clean restrooms and campsites. The CG has water available and the throughout the campground. The lake is nice, but the fishing was slow and the Cameron Peak forest fire burned the entire west and north side of the lake.

Great Views from this camp site and plenty of space between camp sites. I wish I had known how far we would have to lug our stuff from the parking spot for this site. I was at least 100 yards. Several other sites had much closer parking spots but not this one! Bathrooms were clean! We would visit again.

Beautiful, shaded campground. Sites 48, 49, 50 and 51 are great sites but they are walk-in....up a hill 50 yards. Beautiful lake to kayak.
