About

Cobbett Lake Campground is situated in the Land O' Lakes area of Grand Mesa, home to more than 300 lakes and one of the world's largest flat-top mountains. At 10,300 feet elevation, the campground occupies a prime location along the Grand Mesa National Scenic and Historic Byway on the shore of Cobbett Lake. A dense grove of spruce trees covers the campground, providing shade at nearly every site. The campground offers 20 single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection are provided. Cobbett Lake is open to non-motorized watercraft, making it ideal for canoeing and fishing. Anglers can cast for rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout. Several hiking trails begin nearby, including the Cobbett Lake Trail and Grand Mesa Discovery Trail. The Grand Mesa Visitor Center at Island Lake is within walking distance and features interpretive exhibits, a bookstore, and a high-altitude wildflower garden with more than 50 native plant species. Mosquitoes are abundant in the area during summer months.
