Hopewell Lake Campground

Perched at 9,500 feet within the serene Carson National Forest, Hopewell Lake Campground harmonizes pine-scented air, tranquil waters, and mountainous vistas into an ideal getaway for anglers, hikers, and horseback riders. Anchoring the experience is a picturesque 14-acre man-made lake, well-stocked with rainbow and brook trout, inviting leisurely fishing and canoeing amidst a forest of aspen and conifers.

The campground offers 31 campsites, including family sites and a reservable group shelter, ensuring options for various trip types, from weekend retreats to extended stays. Unique features such as horse corrals and direct access to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail make it a prime choice for equestrian adventurers. Basic amenities like vault toilets are available, but visitors must bring their own water due to the lack of on-site supply.

Located approximately 15 miles west of Tres Piedras and just off U.S. Highway 64, Hopewell Lake Campground provides a tranquil setting that's easily accessible. Within a 30-minute radius, visitors can explore additional trails, scenic byways, and other outdoor recreation opportunities in the Carson National Forest, enhancing its appeal as a base for nature-centric adventures.
