Chambers Lake Campground

Chambers Lake Campground, located approximately 60 miles northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado, offers a serene escape at an elevation of 9,200 feet in the scenic Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests. Perfect for those seeking quiet recreation amidst natural beauty, this campground combines lakeside tranquility, excellent fishing opportunities, and convenient access to nearby hiking trails.

Set along the northern shore of Chambers Lake, the campground features 51 sites suitable for tents, trailers, and RVs, with options for small groups and walk-in tent camping. Lodgepole pines provide partial shade, and each site is equipped with picnic tables, fire grates, and, where applicable, tent pads. Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, and trash collection, along with a playground and a boat ramp for accessing the lake (although water levels may render the ramp unusable by late summer). Fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, and lake trout is a popular activity, and motorized boating is permitted at wakeless speeds. Hiking enthusiasts can explore nearby trails, including the 7.2-mile Blue Lake Trail, which leads into the Rawah Wilderness.

The campground is ideally situated for adventurers wishing to explore the surrounding wilderness areas, including the Neota and Comanche Peak Wildernesses, all within a short drive.
