Bear Lake Campground sits at 10,480 feet in San Isabel National Forest with 14 first-come, first-served campsites featuring fire rings and picnic tables, potable water, and vault toilets ($25/night).

The campground provides direct access to fishing at Bear Lake (1/8 mile away) and Blue Lake (1 mile away), plus the Indian Trail #1300 trailhead offering 23 miles of multi-use trails for ATVs, motorcycles, bicycles, and horses.

Note that the campground experienced significant tree loss from a 2022 windstorm and can be very windy; it's open late May through late September and has an 8-person limit per site with bear country precautions required.
