RV Park

Overview

Overview

Stillwater Campground, managed within the Arapaho National Recreation Area, offers a classic mountain camping experience near the shores of Lake Granby. This location is designed for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the Colorado high country. Unlike private RV parks with extensive luxury facilities, this site provides a more back-to-nature atmosphere that focuses on the stunning natural environment. It serves as an ideal base camp for travelers looking to disconnect and enjoy the serenity of the Rockies.

Location & Surroundings

Situated in Granby, Colorado, the campground sits at an elevation that keeps the air crisp and cool even during mid-summer. You are positioned perfectly to take in sweeping views of the Continental Divide and the shimmering waters of Lake Granby. The surrounding landscape features a mix of lodgepole pine forests and expansive alpine meadows, creating a quintessential mountain setting that feels remote yet remains accessible enough for those traveling through the scenic Rocky Mountain corridor.

Amenities & Park Features

The campground offers essential facilities to ensure a comfortable stay while maintaining its rugged appeal. Visitors will find designated RV-friendly sites, most of which include basic amenities such as picnic tables and fire rings for evening gatherings. While the park does not provide full utility hookups at every site, the layout is designed to accommodate various trailer sizes. Potable water and vault toilets are available throughout the grounds to support your stay in this high-altitude environment.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activity in the immediate vicinity. The lake is a premier destination for boating and fishing, with several boat launches located nearby for easy water access. For those who prefer land-based recreation, numerous hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the Arapaho National Forest. Being so close to the western entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park also provides visitors with endless opportunities for wildlife viewing and scenic photography along the famous Trail Ridge Road.

Who This Park Is Best For

This campground is perfect for self-contained RV travelers who prioritize peaceful wilderness access over modern resort conveniences. It is an excellent choice for anglers, hikers, and families who want to wake up surrounded by nature rather than concrete pads. If you are seeking a quiet, scenic escape where the primary entertainment is the great outdoors, the Stillwater Campground offers a beautiful and authentic Colorado camping experience for your journey.

Tim and Luann, one of the campground host couples helped us Monday evening when we got there to find the best spot which was 65A which overlooked the lake. It was near the restrooms, water, and trash areas and one of the restroom buildings had showers in it that were free. I definitely recommend this campground.The only negative was there are not any trees in the campground area for shade. The water level was low too.

Solid camp ground. Not many trees thanks to bark beetles, but you can find fairly shaded sites. Facilities are old but reasonably maintained. Lake is low, but not TOO low as of mid July. Proximity to grandby and grand lake is great.

Disappointing experience. We arrived at the campground around 3 p.m., but there was no one at the check-in booth. Since we had been told that only one vehicle was included in the campsite fee, we paid for our two additional vehicles ($8 per day each) at the kiosk by the entrance, only to later discover that the kiosk was for boat parking, not campground vehicles. No instructions given on how to pay for campground parking fees. Campfires and charcoal grills were not allowed, even in the designated enclosed fire areas, despite there being no active fire restrictions in the surrounding area. We also received no instructions or information about campsite rules upon arrival. After we finished setting up our tents, two campground hosts drove up in a golf cart at around 7 p.m. and rather rudely told us that our tents could not extend beyond the designated tent pad. The problem was that the tent pad was only large enough for one medium-sized tent, even though the campground advertises that each site accommodates up to 8 people. There were 7 of us with three tents, so we had no choice but to place one tent slightly outside the pad. After spending time setting everything up, we were forced to move our tents and squeeze into a much smaller space. They also did not allow us to park all of our vehicles at the campsite even though we managed to fit all our cars in our site and they told us to park at the overflow area which is far from campsite. The shower facilities were severely broken. Only one shower was partially functional, while the others had reportedly been out of service for years. Despite the lack of maintenance, the campground continues to charge the full camping fee. Finally, Lake Granby is experiencing severe drought conditions (in early July) so don’t expect the beautiful lake views shown in older photos. Overall, this was not a great camping experience. The customer service was bad, the facilities were poorly maintained, and the campsite rules were enforced without reasonable accommodation. I would avoid this campground unless you specifically need a site with water and electrical hookups, as those are relatively limited in the area.

We've camped at several campsites throughout Colorado and this location is among the top five. The camp site was easy to locate and they layout was great. Our pad was large with a picnic table and fire pit nearby. There was a restroom up the trail or two very clean portable restrooms next to us with a potable drinking faucet in between. The camp host did not sell firewood but gave us a great suggestion of where to get some. The lake was very low, not sure if because of the drought or because they had drained it for winter months but it looked bleak. Noise level was moderate, we were close to the highway and can hear cars pass. Black birds woke us up like roosters croaking in the morning. Didn't see too much wildlife just you're occasional chipmunk, humming bird, and robins. There were several trail hikes within the campground, and if you walk on the road watch out for on coming vehicles. I highly recommend staying here. The mountain views and night sky is phenomenal

Had reservations for handicap site so we were told and was told it was 35 feet.We arrive and the site wasn't handicap complient our 20 foot trailer would have fit but not our truck. No restroom close by.It had stairs down to table and firepit. The host tried to make it right by giving us another site which was blocked off so we backed in only to find out the electric box was broken. Not happy at all. The host didn't even come out to site to greet us. Then to top it off the reservoir was being drained and we didn't get notice about that. Never will we go there very disappointed.
