About
Highline Lake State Park is a 560-acre park centered around a 174-acre reservoir in Mesa County, Colorado. The campground offers 56 sites spread across areas with a mix of sun and shade, suitable for tent camping, campers, and RVs. Each campsite includes a fire ring with grill and a picnic table. The Camper Services Building provides flush toilets, showers, and laundry facilities year-round. The park features two lakes: Highline Lake allows swimming at a designated beach and permits motorized boating, while the smaller Mack Mesa Lake is restricted to non-motorized watercraft. Both lakes offer fishing opportunities. A playground is available for families, and firewood can be purchased on-site. Reservations are required and can be made up to six months in advance through the Colorado Parks & Wildlife reservation system. Check-in is at 1 p.m. and check-out is at noon. Maximum stay is 14 days within a 28-day period, with a limit of six people, two motorized vehicles, and one camping unit per site.
