Nice state park. Camped at Arkansas Point Campground. The sites were spacious and spread out enough to have some privacy. The restrooms/free showers at Loop A were the only ones open during the winter. We camped at Loop B for the view of the lake and brought our our portable toilet. It can get windy at Lake Pueblo so ensure that you properly secure your awnings and canopies. We put 10 lbs weights on each leg of our canopy. No issues. The cool fall weather made it easy for the hike up the little hill to the south of the campground. Saw deer. Nice view too. Highly recommend this local state park.

Wonderful facilities all around. Went for a 2 night stay on August 14 and 15 and couldnt be happier. The swim beach was very nice and great for kids. Paddle boarding is only allowed on one side so the little ones can jump and splash freely. There were many tables and a large pavilion. At the campgrounds, the restrooms in the Yucca Flats campground are the nicest Ive seen in Colorado state parks. Staff was extremely friendly and scenery is beautiful. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite state parks! There is something for everyone here. If you have a boat you can bring it. If you’re into kayaking or paddle boarding you can rent them here for $20 (but make a reservation ahead of time - they sell out quick!). Dogs are allowed on all of the hiking trails around the park. I’ve come on many weekends and it hasn’t been super crowded; we usually don’t see anyone else on the hiking trails.

One of the best fisheries in the state. Both marinas have plenty of amenities to make the day fun, and are great in case you need something in a pinch. Once the virus is over, theres lots of gazebos and grilling areas located around the park. Beautiful place when its not overly busy.

Winter HikingWinter HikingI had the chance to check out Lake Pueblo earlier this year while passing through town. I had come in late the night before and had an early morning appointment with a customer in the area and then had the whole day to get to Brighton. I heard on the news that there was a break in the weather for a few hours and decided to get in a few hours of hiking before the storm set in.The area around the lake and the state park are great for photo ops. There are hills and pullovers on the side of the road, as well as trails in the area. I didnt have a whole lot of time so I decided to head straight into the park. My first stop was the Park Station to get some information on the park and to learn about its history. The reservoir was built back in the early part of the last century to provide water to the vast acres of farmland in the area. It was also known historically as home to many Indigenous cultures that lived in the area.After my trip to the Park station and armed with info on where to hike, off I went. I headed down to the lake and walked around for a bit. I spoke to some boaters who even though it was still winter, were getting their boats ready for the opening of the fishing season. Luckily the howling wind had died down from the night before and the lake was very calm. I walked around the lake for a while and then walked around the area watching the mountains in the distance and the snow-covered hills that made up the landscape. I was out there alone and felt very fortunate that the sun would pop its head out for a few minutes and every so often and give me a real sense of the serene beauty that the area has. This was a great hike and I took more time to observe than I did take pictures, it was just that kind of afternoon. For those of you who havent been there before, the lake has what most parks with lakes have in the US, like boating, swimming, camping and other facilities for showers and of course restrooms. I will make it a point to return once again in warmer weather and enjoy the lake for myself.

Excellent for my young son. Its clean and there is several fun things to do for all ages.

This is a really great park. Lake is big and beautiful, plenty of room for all water sports. We camped in Juniper Breaks and loved it. They do get some crazy weather at the so plan ahead. Campsites were spacious and included tables with a bit of shade and fire pits.

One of Pueblos greatest treasures. Please help keep it clean. The recent population increase in Colorado is taking a toll on all of our natural recreational and general open space. Pack it in, pack it out. No more invasive species, please. Do cliff dive and drink full strength beer and operate motor boats!

Best place we spend a lot of time. Its almost like our second home. Our dogs love it and start whining and barking from excitement when we pull onto the road. They know theyre in for some fun. We love exploring little coves and trails and future camp sites. Its such a great place to enjoy the day and get away from it all -- although youre only 10 minutes from town and shopping and gas. Love it

Love this park. Used to live in pueblo and fished the reservoir all the time. Super crowded in the summer. Camp sites are not super close to each other. Marinas are nicely built and usually dont back up too bad. Gotta watch watercraft traffic on the water during the summertime. No water hookups for each campsite. Arkansas river access is good for fishing and tubing.

Beautiful Pueblo Colorado place to go anytime of the year!

We camped in the summer in a tent. It was hot! The water was nice, but a little muddy. We went wading at one of the turnoffs, and others were already enjoying their time. Lots of fishing line in the water and on shore where we were. We spent three minutes picking up our area of litter. Also, the mud under water had sticks and stones, so our toes had some surprises.The best wading locations were a walk to, so bring some wheels for rocky shores. We just pulled up our vehicle to the water. Everyone had a great time.

The restrooms were clean and always had enough TP. We stayed in the Juniper campsite and the view was awesome. My mom, who uses a walker, also came and was able to walk down to the lake with assistance. Only thing we didnt like was the beach. Its not open all week so my 6 year old didnt get to do the deep swimming. There are plenty of spots though to get in the lake and cool off.

Pueblo Reservoir is a great place to fish, boat with friends/family, and is very clean/peaceful! I highly recommend spending some quality time out here! Its been a highlight to our summer!

Beautiful day out on the lake! It is a great option for only being an hr from Colorado springs if you want to get a water fix. Easy to unload and load up!

I love the reservoir! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the bathrooms were a mess. Its not normally bad - probably due to the high number of people visiting that never used to go before COVID.

Very spacious park everyone has room to spare fishing along the steep shores of the park. Stayed at north marina campground wonderful views easy access to water, deep good for fishing

Really beautiful deer chill just around the lake. I recorded w my gopro on YouTube

Love going out to the lake to walk around or ride the bike. Very serene. Lots of trails to choose from.

Great place to visit for an afternoon of boating and jetskiing!! The swimming is clean and not too cold.

Great place. The water cooled us off a lot. This place will, no doubt, give you a good experience to do outdoor odysseys.

Camping was easy to get in and out but they charge you for just entering the park as well as paying for the camp site. They have an annual pass if you want to visit State Parks often.For camping they have a water point, hard standing bathrooms, picnic table with cover and fire pits. Bring your own wood because gathering of wood there isn’t allowed and there aren’t many trees to hang your hammock. The parking can accommodate two cars on each came spot with additional parking a little walk down but you aren’t allowed to park off the paved roads.

We recently stayed and arrived at the Lake/park at 10:30am knowing that campers have until noon to vacate. We drove past our site which was occupied with a travel trailer and a boat. So we drove through the park again and at 10:45 the boat was gone. Camping equipment and tools scattered about the camp site. We stopped by the camp host to let them know of our arrival. She informed us that campers have until 12 noon for check out but they give them until 12:30 before calling to have trailers towed. Our check in 1pm. Ok we get it so we park by the campsite to wait and wait some more. Deciding to shower since the bathroom/shower available which was clean and nice was right by our parked rig. At 11:45 the young cutest couple show up. He receives a phone call and walks around talking for 15 minutes. The chick in bikini is in the RV by now it is well after 12noon. They begin to quickly pack up. At 12:30 they begin to pull out and failed to check everything - stabilizer in the back was down and jammed. Took him another 15-20 minutes to remove stabilizer. At 12:53 they finally pulled out of the spot. Certainly, used up their time. I will never stay at this place again. Not impressed.

Some amenities were closed without declaration - swimming beach, some of the campgrounds. Only could pay via credit card.....State Parks need some help.Time to invest more of the state’s budget towards campers/travelers.

Very clean facilities and wonderful atmosphere at the campground. Great place to visit with kids

Yeah we went over there for a few hours and have no luck but it was still a nice day was fun and all the get out in the open and to who do they call it distancing Ill go out there if you want to have a little bit of fun

I love camping & boating here, I just wish they had shower facilities & more places to beach my boat near the camp sites.

Best place around to fish camp hike.well kept and rangers are helpful and friendly cant say enough good things

Great camp ground. Almost empty so it was a quiet night. Kids and dogs swam, it was great.

Awesome place to spend the day fishing, swimming, boating, jet skiing, etc. Plus, you can camp here in a tent or Rv! It is very hot in Pueblo, bring lots of sunscreen and enjoy the cool water with plenty of rocky beaches ***Please remember to clean up after yourselves & keep this park beautiful!***

It was really fun and relaxing. There are many little beaches you can go down to and swim. The only downside is that in the Resivior you can only wade in it. There is a swim beach but it is only open Thursday-Sunday. Overall it was a great trip for a couple days.

Always great to get out and enjoy some peace and quiet with nature! Awesome views and lots of wildlife to see!

Can be very crowded and there isnt a lot of shade. Fun place to hang out and swim, kayak, or do any other water related activities. Not super close to stores for food or supplies but not super far either. If theres a competition it can be very difficult to find a place in the shore and can take awhile to enter.

Absolutely love the Lake.. Camping, Kayaking, Bike riding..Need a good Realtor.. Call me!

Love the views, love the accessibility, and love the staff. We came up camping on a Wednesday and stayed till Saturday morning. If you like it quiet, then come up during the week, we were one of six or seven spots being used. Friday got a little wild due to the hoards of other people getting loud after ordinance. But the ranger came thru and shut that down quickly. Boat rentals are reasonable, just wish they didnt kick us out at 5:00 - but people want to get home and relax so I get it. We just didnt want the fun to stop! Children 13 and under must wear life preservers, and they always have 8-10 adult size preservers on the boat. Cant wait to come back!!

Loved it here. It’s so beautiful. The lake is huge. The swimming area was very clean and nice

Scenic views and great mountain biking!

Love this lake... Its a beautiful gem in Pueblo. Perfect for a day out on the boat or jet skis. Areas for swimming and fishing.

This is a great place to go boating. It get HOT and the water is amazing. You can swim, tub, fish and even go to shore of lunch. Love it

Gorgeous views , clean park and warm showers . It was all around great. Highly recommend!

Very nice place to spend time with family or friends camping or just spend the day nice Lake hiking trails fishing boating....smoking the weed lol

Beautiful. Relaxing, huge. Shore fishing lately not so hot. But view and atmosphere make up for it.

Easy access. Only $8 to get in for 24 hours ($80 for a 12 month pass). Kayaked, Cliff jumped, swam, sun bathed.

This is the best place Ive been in Colorado to swim. Its not busy at all, the water is a perfect temperature, and it is very pretty. Would totally recommend for the family.

Awesome view during the autumn season, Cool trails too. ️

We went to one of the swim beaches to kayak and slapsh around! Had a great day. The earlier you get there the better!

Verry cool spot. Great views!

This place is pretty decent nothing spectacular. Great boating obviously if youre into that if not theres a cup of cool trails. All in all pretty decent.

You have to come see this! Its absolutely gorgeous. You have peace and quiet, stunning shots of the mountains, and the calm lapping of tiny waves on the shore. Theres plenty of room for fishing, canoeing, boating and plenty of other things. You need a pass, but theyre less than $10 for the day. They do have composting toilets, so please be aware. I took these pictures with my phone. Nice, but still, you have to come see this place in person. You wont regret it.

Going during a warm winter day is awesome as there isnt as many bugs, spiders, snakes, or people. The dogs had a good time, as did I. Only small elevation changes and many trails.

Great place to hike or just relax for awhile. It is not crowded. Lots of views and quiet.

Great trails for running or walking on. We love to sit at the shore and throw rocks as well.

Wonderful bike ride with my brother! One of my favorite place in Pueblo!

Love going boating on pueblo state park and love taking my dogs for walks on the trails!!!

Great place! It is crazy crowded with people. Lots of boats. It can get really windy in the afternoons. Flipped this camper on its top!

Always a great day at the lake. Visit weekly during the summer months.

Beautiful lake, fun for small groups and family outings. Awesome set up with being able to drive into the beach. Bring some inflatable pool fun and snacks (sunscreen!).

This lake has so much going on its like a new experience every time!

Me and my fiancé visited this park on our trip. It was beautiful, clean, and an over all great experience. I grew up in Arkansas, but have lived in the Texas panhandle for a long time. The trees, creeks, trails, and lake were a breath of fresh air for a country boy longing for home. :) If your taking a trip, or simply live close by, this state park is worth the visit.

Epic State Park absolutely amazing scenery beautiful people just wish people would pick up after themselves

Our family enjoys going to the area just beyond swim beach to grill. Theres a trail that leads to the river close by and its got some great views. Also good fishing there.

We thoroughly enjoy this Lake/statepark. Camping amenities can include electrical hookups (both 30A as well as 50A) water and dump stations with potable water located at the entrance to the camp grounds. Launching at the marinas is a breeze, with parking thats close by. Makes for a fun day or weekend thats not to far away!

Had a bunch of fun throwing rocks in the water. Thankfully there wasnt anyone near us fishing. Beautiful place for photos.

The people and the staff are friendly The welcome center was very welcoming and the fishing is fantastic

A nice park, but a lot of exposure for tent camping.

Beautiful little beach. River rock beach. What I was most amazed at was the huge tree there

So big and you can enjoy urself without being so close to others

Beautiful hidden treasure. The Resevoir is absolutely amazing!

Love the lake cant wait to get out and play in the water.

It was beautiful and we had a great time but the showers and bathroom were dirty

Park rangers/boat inspectors where not ce and answered questions I had.

Lots of fun. Beautiful views

Beautiful lake..we got a nice spot with a trees to camp

Beautiful place to get away from the city for a few hours

Sharp loose rock, Swoopy corners, Winding up & down, great desert views - throw in some rocky tech - and that sums up mountain biking at LPSP. Fun place for something a bit different, especially if its cold in the mountains. Trails for every level. If you want it more challenging, go faster. Just dont expect forest.

Man you be frank everything about this part I just really enjoyed. Mountain biking trails. The ability to hike around the park from camp. The options of having access to showers Wi-Fi or privacy. How easy it is to manage grabbing a reservation. Ive just really enjoyed it

Nice big lake with fresh snd clean water!

Beautiful. So many cute lizards running around when you walk the trails.

Super hot, but beautiful. Lake was refreshing.

Great outdoor recreation spot. Swimming area open for warm days. Great staff.

The lake is OK. The camping is another story! It is WAY too crammed to enjoy yourself. The fire pit for our campsite was a good 30 feet from our camper. We were literally sitting closer to other campers then our own spot! If you like fishing thats fine but I would avoid the camping section.

I always love bringing my family here, relaxing place to chill for the day on the water.

The bike trails are nice, easy, winding and rolling. The scenery is beautiful with lots of wildlife.

WATCH OUT FOR CACTI! For real though this place is incredible. Nice trail to ride bikes as well.

Beautiful lake, the weather was 65 degrees out, water temp at 35. Fishing was very slow but cruising on the boat was perfect.

Beautiful lake keep in mind this is definitely a lake for a boat .and the bathrooms are really gross.

Big park. Great, well-maintained facilities. Too hot for me in summer, but can be great at times during the rest of the year.

A nature oasis- great for fishing, boating, nature watching, walking, hiking, camping, exploring ...& so much more.

There are several campground areas, two of which are open all year. The lake has boating and a marina, the river has fishing. There are picnic areas with large shade trees and a designated swimming area in the river. Driving right up to the lake shore is an option. There is wildlife to see. The park has a lot to offer.

Great MTB trail system with a little something for just about everyone. You can do long loops, or bounce around the canyon, its entirely up to you and what you want to do. There are some free dirt parking lots off of Hwy 96 if youre not inclined to pay for parking. When other trails are still wet and soggy, this place stands a good chance of still having some dry and ridable trails.

Kayakers, canoers, and paddle boarders BEWARE! This lake is pretty to look at, but far from peaceful. Honestly, if you dont drive a motorized boat, dont bother visiting. Between the roaring engines of boats and jet skis chaotically racing every which way and their huge wakes, our kayaking excursion was a bust.

What a beautiful lake! Rented a boat and spent the day on the water. It was amazing!

Nice place all around. Love it here. Swimming, fishing, boating... A lot of fun and I definitely recommend.

There is a lot to do, either hiking, biking, fishing, boating, bbq with the family. You will definitely find something to do.

Love the wading area and swimming area. Both were great!

Wonderful lake with big fish!

We love camping here, sites are so spacious and relaxing

I withdrew one star because they only had electricity at the site--no water or sewer. This might not be an issue for tent campers, since there were water taps strategically situated among the sites. Other than that, Lake Pueblo State Park may be my favorite campground so far. The hiking around our loop was limited to the one trail that follows the lake but, given the local geography, Im not sure what else one could ask for. The bike trails on the opposite--south--side of the lake looked interesting, but I didnt have a chance to try them. Theres also an odd but very nice sidewalk that rings a significant portion of the north side of the lake. I think the sidewalk turns into a dirt trail on the south side, but Im not sure.If you stay here, try hard to get a site as close to the lake as possible; theres no downside and sunsets will be gorgeous. Some lakeside sites have easy paths to the water and others are blocked from the water by small cliffs. The easy paths would be preferable but Im not sure how to tell which has which without a good topo map.There are two marinas at the lake. I didnt use them but they looked like they offered complete services.

I loved it here! Wish I could have stayed longer!
