I took my dog to Carpios Cove so she could get a refreshing swim before we hit the other trails in the park. The water level was high and shoreline was mostly sandstone so the doggo didn't turn into a muddy mess after the swim. Other trails were nice but very dry with no water access.

I've camped here a half dozen times in off season months. It's a perfect stop over on your way to Denver. Super clean, stunning views, wildlife right in campground.

This is a beautiful quiet state park. If you go down to the woods Walk path in the back towards sunset you can really hear so many birds frogs and other creatures singing their hearts out. Totally worth 10 bucks. Go out and support your parks. 💙

I've grown up fishing here, but you'll notice that it's been difficult to find a good spot lately due to how low it is. Riley Canyon is impossible to fish unless you walk a mile down the shore. They need to extend the South Shore Road at least a mile. There are public restrooms that are about what you'd expect. On the campground, they have a nice playground that is adjacent to a cool amphitheater and some shady scenic picnic areas.

This is a beautiful State Park with wonderful views. We booked early so we were able to snag a full hookup site. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because our site was not level (typical of State Parks). Great walking trails and lots of places to camp or just have a picnic. The bathrooms are very clean and I was very impressed with the laundry room. They even have a place to wash your dishes on the side of the building. Book early and hopefully you can snag a great spot like we did.
