North Shore Campground

Rugged peaks frame the wide-open vistas at North Shore Campground, where pristine shoreline and unobstructed lake views define the camping experience. This exposed, high-elevation campground offers direct access to Eleven Mile Reservoir's renowned fishing and boating, with sites perched mere steps from the water's edge. Despite the lack of shade, the cool mountain air and panoramic scenery create an invigorating atmosphere for outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated on the northern banks of Eleven Mile Reservoir, the campground provides a front-row seat to the natural drama of Colorado's South Park basin. The vast, treeless landscape allows for uninterrupted views of the surrounding peaks and big sky, creating a sense of expansiveness rarely found in mountain camping destinations.

Lake George, a small mountain town with basic provisions, lies just 15 minutes north. Within a short drive, campers can explore the geological wonders of Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument or cast a line in the gold medal waters of the South Platte River. The campground serves as an ideal base for day trips into Pike National Forest, where hiking trails and scenic drives await.

North Shore Campground caters to water-oriented vacationers and fishing enthusiasts looking for an extended stay to fully appreciate the reservoir's abundant recreational opportunities. The lack of trees between sites is offset by the extraordinary access to one of Colorado's premier fishing destinations, making it a top choice for serious anglers and boating aficionados.
