Arapaho-Roosevelt/Sunset Point
Overview
Sunset Point Campground offers a classic Colorado camping experience within the Arapaho National Recreation Area. Positioned along the southern shores of Lake Granby, this site provides visitors with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and direct access to the water. It is a Forest Service facility that emphasizes a rustic connection with nature, making it a favorite for those who prefer the tranquility of the forest over the bustle of a traditional commercial resort.
Location & Surroundings
Situated at an elevation of roughly 8,300 feet, the campground is nestled in a lodgepole pine forest that provides patches of shade and a sense of privacy. The location is prime for mountain scenery, with the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the rugged ridgelines of the Continental Divide framing the horizon. The proximity to the town of Granby ensures that while you are deep in the woods, essential supplies and local dining are just a short drive away.
Amenities & Park Features
As a traditional forest campground, Sunset Point focuses on essential outdoor amenities rather than modern luxuries. Guests will find vault toilets and hand-pumped drinking water available for seasonal use. Each individual site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. While there are no electricity, water, or sewer hookups, the park accommodates various RV sizes, though travelers should always verify specific site lengths before arrival.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw here is Lake Granby, the second-largest body of water in Colorado. Travelers can enjoy world-class fishing for lake trout and kokanee salmon or spend the day kayaking right from the shoreline. A public boat ramp is located nearby for easy water access. Additionally, the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is less than 20 miles away, offering endless hiking trails and frequent opportunities for elk and moose sightings.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for self-contained RVers who value scenic beauty and outdoor recreation over high-speed internet or utility hookups. It appeals most to families looking for a lakeside retreat and nature photographers seeking the golden hour light on the water. If you enjoy a quiet, forested environment and are prepared for dry camping, Sunset Point is a premier choice for exploring the heart of the Colorado high country.

By far the best camping experience I have ever had. Mike and Nadine are amazing hosts and all around great people! Restrooms were very clean. Very safe atmosphere as well. Will be back next year!

I have camped all over Colorado, as a child, with my kids and now with my grandkids. This place is the best and my favorite by far. From day one Nadine, one of the camp host, went out of her way to be accommodating. She is friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the lake and surrounding areas. She made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The 2nd day we had the pleasure of meeting her husband Mike. Once again, he made us feel welcomed. They both handled a situation with another camper fairly, honestly and extremely professional. They truly care about the lake and campground and take passion in their duties as camp host. Even when it was so crowed and people trying to get by without following rules, the handled it with class. They are exactly what you want in a camp host and more. Thank you Mike and Nadine for exceeding our expectations.

I love this campsite so much! I make it a point to come back every summer at least once. The camp hosts are so sweet and keep it very clean. And the views are everything.

Thank you Nadine and Mike for your wonderful hospitality and very clean campground and bathrooms! All the campers stayed respectful of their space and volume and that was nice especially with us having a big group with several kids. We will definitely be returning!

First come, first serve set up. Our group up there first week of June 2025. Very rainy this year but was still a great time. The sites were level, minor adjustments in some spots, my 5th Wheel camper, no adjustments in spot 11. Restrooms clean, did not smell. Perhaps because it was chilly and early in the year but ever the less. I will, we will be back. Lots of trees around the sites, close to the water....
