Castle Lakes Campground

Two private, crystal-clear lakes frame the grounds of Castle Lakes Campground, creating a serene setting along the Alpine Loop in Lake City. The property offers both RV-friendly campsites and fully equipped cabins, allowing guests to choose between traditional camping and more comfortable lodging. On-site services include jeep rentals for exploring the rugged San Juan Mountains and a gift shop stocked with souvenirs and daily necessities. Visitors frequently praise the helpful staff, specifically Ben and Monica, for their attentive hospitality. The campground features well-maintained bathrooms and laundry facilities with four washers and dryers, making it suitable for longer stays. Cabins like Cabin C provide essential kitchen amenities, including microwaves and pans, for those preparing their own meals. The location offers direct access to hiking trails such as the Aloine Loop, while the surrounding forest provides clear views of bright night skies. Guests are advised to account for high altitude, which may cause mild headaches or sleep adjustments during the first few days.
