Overview

Chambers Lake Campground is located approximately 60 miles north of Fort Collins, Colo., on beautiful Chambers Lake. Visitors enjoy the area for its great fishing and canoeing, as well as abundant trail opportunities and wilderness access.

Recreation

Popular activities included fishing, canoeing and boating on Chambers Lake, which is a no-wake lake. Anglers cast for rainbow, cutthroat and lake trout. A boat ramp is located within the campground. Please note the boat ramp may be unusable in late summer due to low water levels. The lake is a storage reservoir for irrigation water and is drawn down over the course of the summer.

The Blue Lake Trail No. 959 begins nearby. The 7.2-mile trail provides access to the Rawah Wilderness. Several additional hiking and biking trails can be found in the surrounding area.

Facilities

The campground offers single and double family campsites, many of which are accessible. Each site contains a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A playground area is located within the campground.

Natural Features

The campground is situated in a rustic, mountainous area, at an elevation of 9,200 feet. Some sites have reduced shade because many hazardous lodgepole pine trees have been removed due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic.

Made reservations two months in advance and got updates and confirmations from rec.gov and when we arrived our site sign said open site please see host. So glad no one actually took our site , and we were never able to find and talk to the camp hosts even though they had a bus set up in the host site we never saw them.

The camp hosts were nice. The restrooms were clean. We had a great view, peaceful night. WIsh there was a little more water, but we did catch and ate a couple of trout. With the lake being so low, it was hard to find a place to launch the paddle boards without carrying them. But being by the inlet was nice bird watching.

This is a nice campground. Bathrooms were clean and stocked and it was very quiet mid-week.

We loved our visit to Chambers Lake! We appreciate all the trees in the campground. Because of the low water level it was necessary to walk a little farther and down an embankment to launch our blow up kayak and SUPs.
