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.

I dont know why this place only has 3 stars! The views alone are worth 5. I gave it 4 because the water system is down and there are porta potties instead for the bathrooms. And from the looks of the maintenance documentation inside of them, its been months and they havent resolved the issue. The camp sites are clean and the bear boxes are super useful and spacious. The picnic tables at the sites are all wood and of varying conditions. There are a multitude of options for types of sites and if sites havent been rented they say open and you can claim them, however, you have to pay cash or check in the moment. There are tent only sites, day use, and rv sites with electrical hookup. Water currently unavailable. Definitely would come back and hopefully for longer!

Just stopped in to dump and get potable water $10. The sites fill up fast on the weekend. There is power and water at certain sites. Others are just for dry or tent camping. There is a boat ramp to the lake. It's GORGEOUS here!!!

Great campground. Clean restrooms. Nice views. Not a lot of shade open to wind but sites were spread out plus vegetation boarders for privacy.

Mary Spiller

Site way too small. They ask the size of your equipment, including vehicle. No place to park the truck. But we could park in overflow about 1/2 mile away. Or pay to park in the unused site across the street. Plus picnic table, is bad repair, is down a bunch of stairs. NO PLace to set up dog yard. Nice view but would not stay here again

Stayed here summer of 2022 on loop through Rockies. Campsites were spacious, pristine, all with great views. Clean bathrooms. Our slide got stuck and the staff helped us maneuver into a temporary space since the campground was full the next night. Then helped us get it pulled in! Pros. Hidden gem!

Gorgeous views and quiet campground! Recommend going into Grand Lakes down the road for shopping and eating at sagebrush restaurant! My only complaint is I counted 4 separate tents that let their dogs off the leash. Just running around and 2 ran out in the road after our mini Aussie. I don’t appreciate that and I did complain. I was told by staff they have to see the dogs off leash before they can say anything. Dogs running everywhere OFF leash on the tent sites (or any sites) Should NOT BE ALLOWED.

Stillwater campground was a very unexpected surprise. Our site A016 was phenomenal!. The lake views were beautiful and the wildlife was pleasant. The amenities/laboratories were clean and stocked with what was needed. The showers were large and private. Each site has its own character with a picnic table, and fire pit. Electricity and water is available depending on what site is chosen. We will definitely return with anticipation.

We spent two nights at Stillwater Campground and loved every minute of it. The sites are for only 1 tent and it has no shade at the afternoon. We were camping at C117-118 and we could see the beautiful lake. The campground facilities were well maintained. Restrooms were clean, and the free showers were warm and refreshing after a long day of hiking. Having picnic tables and fire rings at each site made evenings around the campfire easy and cozy. Location-wise, Stillwater is perfect. We enjoyed short hikes in the surrounding woods, easy access to fishing spots, and really appreciated how peaceful it is—no blaring music, barking dogs, or late-night noise. The rangers were friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our stay pleasant. The nearby interpretive signs and trail maps made planning hikes simple. Also, the convenience store nearby stocked essentials like ice, firewood, and snacks—very handy! There is rainbow trout at the lake and it is very tasty. 😋 Whether you’re looking for a quiet family retreat or a nature-filled escape with friends, Stillwater Campground is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Fantastic location right on the lake. Easy lake access via numerous paths. Bathrooms and showers are serviceable. Views in many sites are absolutely amazing. Water pressure was quite high, so use a regulator. Dropped a few stars on 'service' on account of water outage/massive pressure fluctuations on last day. There were signs posted in bathrooms but if you're in a camper no clue and the camp hosts never mentioned anything. Would come back again for sure though!
