Please scroll down to the bottom of this page for the latest winter camping information. Also, visit the "construction update" page for important information about construction activity in the campgrounds. Lake Pueblo is one of the most popular camping destinations in Colorado. Whether you plan on taking advantage of everything the park has to offer, or you need a great camping spot close to the city of Pueblo, Lake Pueblo can accommodate your needs. With just a short drive from Pueblo City limits, you can camp in a beautiful, natural setting and still be only minutes away from restaurants, shopping, the Colorado State Fair, the Pueblo Zoo, and a number of attractions in the area. Looking for fun day-trips? It takes less then an hour to get to Colorado Springs or Canon City with the Royal Gorge from the park. San Isabel Lake and the beauty of the mountains are less than 30 minutes away. The park has 400 campsites spread throughout three different areas in the park. Northern Plains Campground is near the North boat ramp and closer to Pueblo West. It has both electrical and non-electrical sites. 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 boat ramp. All sites consist of a paved parking area, covered picnic table, and fire pit. The electrical campgrounds also feature flush toilets, coin-operated showers, laundry, dump stations, and playgrounds. The campgrounds are patrolled for your safety. It's always a good idea to plan ahead and take the worry out of your stay. Lake Pueblo’s campgrounds fill to capacity nearly every weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Reservations are a must on holiday weekends and highly recommended any summer weekend.

As of January 2011, we no longer reserve this area through our Visitor Center as a group camping area. The Eagle View sites in loops M, N and O are still set up nicely to accommodate groups. There is a commons area in the center of the loops for gatherings , but the sites are reserved like all the other sites in the park: individually through the reservation system. Winter Camping Due to the a large water renovation project on the south side of the park during the fall/winter/spring of 2011 into 2012, winter camping is only available at Juniper Breaks and Eagle View in Northern Plains Campground. The sites open and reservable for winter camping are: Juniper Breaks sites 100-124 and Eagle View sites 300-316. Juniper Breaks does not have electricity. Eagle View Loops in Northern Plains have electricity, but it should be noted that flush toilets, showers, laundry and a dump station will NOT be available through the winter. Vault facilities are provided in both camping areas. Arkansas Point Campground is closed to ALL access (camping, vehicular and pedestrian). Further construction information will be posted on the construction update page as it becomes available. Traditionally, there are sites in Arkansas Point campground open for winter camping. They are expected to be open for 2012 winter camping.
