About

Island Lake Campground is located at an elevation of 10,300 feet on Colorado's Grand Mesa, which is home to more than 300 fishing lakes near the cities of Cedaredge and Delta. Most sites are nestled in a thick grove of mature spruce trees, while a few offer panoramic vistas of Grand Valley and several lakes below. The campground features 41 sites with maximum spur lengths of 60 feet, accommodating both tent campers and RVs. The 144-acre Island Lake is just 0.1 miles east of the campground via Forest Route 116, offering excellent fishing, canoeing, and hiking opportunities. The lake features a boat ramp, wheelchair-accessible fishing pier, and fish cleaning station. More than 3,000 miles of trails provide access to areas of rugged beauty and solitude, with terrain suitable for beginners to experts. Wildlife including deer and elk frequent the area. Note that mosquitoes are plentiful; repellent is recommended.
