Lake Pueblo State Park

About

Lake Pueblo State Park encompasses nearly 14,600 acres in southern Colorado, centered around Pueblo Reservoir with over 60 miles of shoreline. The park offers 400 campsites divided among four campgrounds that cater to different camping preferences. Arkansas Point Campground sits on the south side of the reservoir, while Northern Plains Campground occupies the north shore with multiple loops including Prairie Ridge, Eagle View, Yucca Flats, and Kettle Creek. The developed campgrounds at Arkansas Point and the Prairie Ridge, Eagle View, and Yucca Flats loops feature 50-amp electrical hookups, centrally located water hydrants, modern flush toilets, and shower facilities. For those seeking a more rustic experience, Juniper Breaks Campground and the Kettle Creek Loop offer sites without electricity but still provide vault toilets and water access. Every campsite throughout the park includes a covered picnic table and fire ring. Beyond camping, the park offers two boat ramps, two marina complexes, 15.4 miles of trails, and 150 picnic sites. The reservoir supports excellent fishing and water recreation opportunities year-round.
