Campground was lush and green, short walk to the lake, sites were well maintained and the toilets were cleaned regularly and didnt smell bad. Our sites backed up to a grove of aspens and evergreens, we felt like we were in the woods. (Sites 26 & 27) Camp host was nice upon arriving and left us alone the rest of the time. Will add this one to our yearly rotation.Note, gas station is 30min away, nothing in town if you forgot an item or like to fill up your truck before hooking up the camper to go home.Also- fill your water tank before arriving and Firewood is $10/bundle, so bring your own.

I love a clean bathroom! Thank you to the camp hosts for working to care for the entire campground, including keeping the facilities clean and pleasant (might be a little strong) to use. I appreciated having clean water at the spigot nearby. Although I didn't need it, I liked having the option to plug in if necessary. My site was clean and ready for me, the campground was quiet, the views were amazing and the stairs down to the river were easy to find and use.

Beautiful location, we didn't know what to expect, so very happy with the entire campsite. Friendly and attentive camp hosts. Very nicely kept. Our campsite number 026 did have a little bit of a slope to it, even jacking the trailer up all the way, we couldn't get level front to back. But other than that everything was great!
@BradfordCC5A23 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #27
Very nice campground with comfortable, level sites. I had just enough trees to be comfortable and not too many to let my starlink work. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a very nice trail down to the lake where I caught fresh rainbow trout on dry flies. Had a nice campfire and met a few very friendly people here. I didnt use any of the other facilities so cant comment on them. Overall a great place to stay.

Weve been coming here for several years and it keeps getting better every time. The beautiful scenery and wildlife never disappoint.

@CharlesF612014 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #28
Great campground in a great location. There is good fishing on the lake and several trailheads near by.
@RichardG179702 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #12
Hard to find campground.
@AnnieW82FE24C9 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #16
This site is flat with good shade. The one next to it has better views of the lake. There is no cell service. The description of the electric sites say they have 15 A electric service, there is actually 30 A at every pedestal.
@JeffreyE305001 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #6
Great site especially #6. Will be back.
@ChristineR7395 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #1
We had a wonderful 4 day visit at Lake Isabel. Our campsite looked great. We enjoyed camping, fishing, and hiking. We saw many deer which was a treat. I was sorry to see that the general store and restaurant was closed and up for sale.
@LuAnnH2C472B8D · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #25
The campground hosts and management were wonderful this season! They were friendly, helpful and quickly resolved issues (i.e. loose dogs). The campground, camp sites and toilets were always very clean. After our experience at La Vista 2 years ago, we didn't think we would ever camp there again. Now we are glad we did.
@KellyG7782870 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #21
Bathrooms were never cleaned. It was gross and disgusting to sit down to potty. Camp host are lazy. they dont deserve a paycheck.
@BruceS5371230 · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #15

@StevenL6130350 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #28
Our first time in the San Isabel National Forest. Beautiful country.A very nice campground, well maintained. It was busy, seemed like a lot of FS workers staying there. Maybe they've got a big project in the area.
@RaylandS0A1C6A · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #2
it was great as expected.
@TylerM9177915 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #2
Amazing campground with super clean bathrooms. Wish I could park closer to site but knew that when I booked it!
@DanielB4603573 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #15
Sure 15 is a very spacious pull through with views of both the lake and the mountains. Clean ports potties are nearby.
@AvenG967820232 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #1
Beautiful spot. Campgrounds #1-#4 are nice and secluded with lots of trees for shade and hammocking. Just a short ride to the lake Isabel and bishops castle! Great spot.
@DebA881CE2C226 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #27
We enjoy La Vista Campground because it is only an hour away from home so it is an easy escape to the wilderness with a beautiful lake to enjoy an early morning kayak. We usually go to Colorado City to enjoy a tasty lunch at Three Sisters.
@SalvatoreD5F58 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #1
Site was clean and exceptionally quiet. Having an actual toilet while camping was a welcome addition, it was clean and stocked with good TP 10/10 would poop there again.
@MatthewM156652 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #27
Love this place!
@AlissaC20B7E26 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #6
Our campsite was beautiful and shaded, we were right by a trail that led down to the creek and it only took us 10 minutes to follow the trail to the lake! The campsite is very well maintained by staff as well! Thank you for a wonderful trip! We definitely will be back!
@MarjorieV45DF9 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #25
Beautiful and well maintained. Quiet and relaxing. Close to beautiful Lake Isabel.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
