Lakeview RV Campground Bait and Grocery
Overview
Overview
Lakeview RV Campground Bait and Grocery in Hasty, Colorado anchors travelers along the historic Arkansas River corridor in the open high plains. Given the explicit inclusion of bait and grocery in the title, travelers can anticipate a practical, provision-oriented stop tailored to anglers, road-trippers, and outdoorsmen traversing the southeastern portion of the Centennial State. This outpost serves as a functional waypoint for those looking to stock up on essentials before heading toward local waters.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in southeastern Colorado along U.S. Highway 50, the campground sits within the vast landscape of the Great Plains transition zone. The surrounding terrain features wide horizons, arid climate patterns, and expansive skies typical of Bent County. Visitors arriving from Lamar or Las Animas will encounter flat agricultural lands interspersed with the winding path of the Arkansas River basin, creating a distinctively quiet and remote atmosphere away from major metropolitan congestion.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details remain unverified, guests should contact the management directly to confirm essential site information. RVers must inquire about hookup availability, including electric and water configurations, as well as dump station access. Similarly, questions regarding pull-through versus back-in site dimensions, rig length limitations, and specific operating hours for the on-site grocery and bait shop will ensure an informed and seamless arrival.

We decided to give this camp ground a try because the camp ground by the dam was full, but I'm really glad we stayed here. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers they are nicely decorated and very clean. The grounds have been cleaned up A LOT from what it used to be. It's also nice to have the store right there if you need something even if the items are a little pricey, it saves you from having to drive to one of the towns. The only bad thing for us was our motorhome is big and has 2 A/C's so our electricity kept shutting off but the owners are very nice and he showed me how to flip the main breaker and he also said next time I needed to request one of the spots that has 50 amps of electricity so we wouldn't have the same problem. We will forsure be camping here from now on and we will just drive to the lake to fish since its just down the road.

This RV site is located in a nice spot it allows me to get access to all the lakes around there to fish. And having fishing bait there not having to chase it all over town or bring it with me definitely a nice. Not having to go online and book 3 months out. Just call them up and make a reservation. I've been there a couple of times and it's always quiet

We are out here for memorial Day weekend. We camped in tents and weather was not the best, however we felt that the campsite was very nice and quaint we really enjoyed the amenities, the bathrooms and showers are very nice and there is even a little library and some board games... The store is great and has everything you need, and the prices are quite fair.

Traveling Highway 50 and needed a place to stop for one night. Pulled in at dusk. Left in morning. Was a good sleep spot. Quiet at night. Bathroom was clean. People running it had four or five little dogs that did a lot of barking whenever someone walked by their camper near the store and restrooms. Didn’t see much that would want me to stay more than one night. Was good for our purpose. Would stop again.
