O'Haver is my favorite place to camp in all of Colorado. The lake is user-friendly for boating, fishing, and swimming. No motorized crafts are allowed, so it is quiet. Campsites are large and most are right on the lake. Absolutely gorgeous views morning and evening. Weather is chancy, with storms often coming off the mountains. But well worth it.

Be careful when mountain biking the Marshall Pass road - ATVs can be discourteous.
