Trinidad Lake State Park Campground Review Trinidad, Colorado #ruffroadrvlife #coloradocamping #ruffroadrvlife
Trinidad Lake State Park is a Colorado State Park located in Trinidad, Colorado. What a scenic park! We loved our short stay here.
*Heads Up! Colorado State Parks charge a daily fee in addition to camping fees. At this park the cost is $9.00 per day.
There is also the South Shore Campground which has 10 non-electric sites. This campground is within walking distance to the lake.
What we love about Trinidad Lake State Park:
- Large sites, some with brush, others out in the open
- Clean park
- Great views: Trinidad Lake, Fishers Peak, Spanish Peaks, Sangre de Cristo Mountains
- Easy to get to from Interstate 25
- Verizon worked
- Park is nice. It has been updated.
- Trails – easy to challenging
What we didn’t love about Trinidad Lake State Park:
- Colorado charges a per day fee for vehicles in addition to the camping fee. While we have seen this elsewhere, $9.00 seems a little hefty for a daily parking fee. Towed vehicles are included.*
If you are spending any time in Colorado, go for the $80 – $120 park pass. - No water at the majority of sites and only a few full hook – up sites.
- No easy access to the lake and no swimming in the lake.
Trinidad Lake State Park is worth a stop if you are traveling along the I -25 corridor in southern Colorado. We’re glad we booked there!
