Our Take
What makes BELLAIRE LAKE CAMPGROUND special
Tucked among the rolling foothills northwest of Fort Collins, Bellaire Lake Campground offers a peaceful mountain escape near the charming hamlet of Red Feather Lakes. Sitting at roughly 8,600 feet in the Roosevelt National Forest, this campground wraps around a small, scenic lake framed by lodgepole pines and granite outcroppings. The setting is quintessential Colorado high country: crisp air, big skies, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget the Front Range is only an hour away. Bellaire Lake itself is a wonderful spot for canoeing and kayaking, with calm waters that mirror the surrounding treeline on still mornings. Anglers will find the lake stocked with trout, making it a reliable destination for a lazy afternoon of fishing from shore or a small boat. Several trails wind through the surrounding forest, offering opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. Keep an eye out for mule deer, elk, and the occasional moose. The campground features 26 well-spaced sites suited for tents and smaller RVs. Facilities are straightforward: vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. There are no hookups or showers, so come prepared for a more rustic experience. Sites can be reserved in advance and fill quickly on summer weekends, so booking early is wise. The best season runs from late May through September, with wildflower displays peaking in July. If you are looking for a tranquil lakeside retreat without the crowds, Bellaire Lake delivers.
