Camping at Lake Pueblo
There are 400 campsites in three different areas in the park that fill nearly every weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Reservations are recommended on holiday weekends and summer weekends to ensure prime camping locations.
Please DO NOT cut or gather wood on the park. The 200-year-old Juniper trees cannot be replaced in our lifetime. Buy your firewood at the park ranger stations or bring some with you.
Northern Plains Campground is near the North Marina and closer to Pueblo West providing electrical and non-electrical sites. Group Camping is available here.
Juniper Breaks Campground is centrally located in the park and has non-electrical sites.
Arkansas Point Campground has electrical sites and is close to the South Marina.
