Woods Lake Campground

Cappie’s Scoop: I love to camp and this was a really fun spot! I was able to walk to the trails and a lake. I hiked the trails which were very green and lots of aspen trees. I bet this spot looks great in the fall. I also went to paddle boarding with mom on the lake. The view was great and all I had to do was sit pretty on the board while mom did all the work. Haha! One day it rained and then I saw there was ice on the ground. Mom said it was something called hail. I was in the tent when it happened, all cozy and snuggled inside my bed. At night, we had a fire to stay warm and extra treats before bedtime. I hope we go back here one day. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: The campground has 3 loops with 41 campsites. Camp sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. Firewood is available for sale, $10 per bundle. Camping here is great because there are hiking trails within walking distance that give you access into the Lizard Head Wilderness and also a lake for standup paddleboarding! The town of Telluride is located 40 minutes from here.

Directions: From the town of Telluride, head west on highway 145 for about 13 miles to County Road 57P, Fall Creek Road. Turn left (heading south) onto CR 57P and continue for about 5.2 miles to the National Forest Boundary where CR 57P becomes Forest Service Road 618. Follow 618 for another 3.3 miles to the Woods Lake Campground and Lake.
