La Jara Reservoir SWA Campground

La Jara Reservoir SWA Campground offers primitive camping at 9,600 feet elevation with vault toilets, drinking water, and a boat ramp for small craft access.

Located approximately 35 miles southwest of Alamosa, the campground is free to use (though a hunting or fishing license/SWA pass is required for entry), making it an affordable base for hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing in this high-altitude area.

Note that road access is difficult and water levels fluctuate seasonally, which may affect boating conditions.
