Arapaho Bay Campground

Lake Granby's shimmering waters and the rugged peaks of the Arapaho National Recreation Area provide a stunning backdrop for Arapaho Bay Campground, where pristine wilderness meets accessible adventure. This picturesque campground offers a quintessential Colorado mountain experience with its lakeside location, dense pine forests, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities.

Spread across three distinct loops - Big Rock, Moraine, and Roaring Fork - Arapaho Bay Campground caters to a variety of camping preferences. The Big Rock loop, set back from the water, provides a more secluded forest experience, while Moraine and Roaring Fork loops offer coveted lakeside sites with expansive views. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, though shade can be limited in some areas due to past beetle kill.

Located just 15 miles northeast of Granby, the campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to world-class fishing on Lake Granby, known for its kokanee salmon and trout populations. Hiking trails like the nearby Monarch Lake Loop offer scenic day trip options, while the campground's boat ramp provides easy lake access for water-based activities.
