Now is the time to be thinking about reserving a group facility at Trinidad Lake for that special event you're planning next year.
Beginning January 1, 2012, you will be able to book a group picnic shelter or the Piedmont group camp area for any available date in 2012.
The Piedmont has three RV sites with 50-amp service plus space for additional rigs as well as 10 tent-pad sites. It's perfect for an RV club outing, company retreat or family reunion. Each group facility has water, electricity, nearby restroom facilities and seating for 60. Piedmont campers also have access to the brand new camper services building in the Carpios Ridge campground.
Call the park at 719-846-6951 to book a group facility.
