Important campground notices for 2025
Carter Lake Camping: Due to ongoing site improvements and road construction currently in progress, the following campgrounds are impacted:
- Eagle Campground: Starting June 13, sites will be reservable on Friday and Saturday nights only, up to 30 days in advance. Reserve online or by calling 1-800-397-7795.
- Important Advisory: If you have a larger camping unit (RV or trailer 26 or more feet in length), navigating the construction will be challenging. We recommend South Shore campground as an alternative to better accommodate your needs during construction.
- North Pines Campground: Reservations can only be made a few weeks to a month out. Reserve online or by calling 1-800-397-7795.
- Big Thompson Campground: Beginning April 1, the campground transitioned into day-use parking and does not offer camping.
Larimer County Department of Natural Resources manages a variety of campgrounds for every style of camping. Whether it's large group camping, boat-in sites, equestrian campgrounds, backcountry experiences or even tipi camping, we have it all.
Learn more through our campgrounds and cabins tabs and be sure to make your reservations early. Campgrounds start filling up six months in advance!
The following is NOT allowed:
- Secondary units at campsites such as additional RVs, 5th wheels, trailers, pop-ups, etc.
A camping unit is defined as a wheeled unit used to sleep in. However, additional ground tents are allowed. - After-hours, walk-up camping without a reservation.
Please contact the Administrative Office with questions about same day reservations: 970-619-4570.
