Woodlake Park
Overview
Woodlake Park offers a serene escape in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, situated just outside the historic town of Lake City. This park serves as a gateway to some of the most dramatic landscapes in Colorado, providing a tranquil riverside setting for travelers looking to disconnect. At an elevation of over 8,600 feet, visitors can enjoy cool summer temperatures and crisp mountain air while being surrounded by towering peaks and lush pine forests.
Location & Surroundings
The park is ideally positioned along the banks of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, offering stunning water views and direct access to high-altitude mountain scenery. Located on the Silver Thread Scenic Byway, the surrounding area is defined by its remote wilderness and lack of commercial crowds. Guests are just a short drive from Lake City, a charming town known for its well-preserved Victorian architecture and friendly local community that retains an authentic Old West feel.
Amenities & Park Features
Travelers will find a range of convenient facilities designed to make a mountain stay comfortable and stress-free. The park features spacious sites with full hookups, including both 30 and 50-amp electrical service and cable TV access. Guests have access to reliable Wi-Fi, clean laundry facilities, and modern bathhouses. Many sites include private picnic tables and fire rings, allowing for riverside campfires under the dark, starry skies of Hinsdale County.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activities nearby. A highlight is Lake San Cristobal, Colorado’s second-largest natural lake, which is perfect for boating and fishing. For those with off-road vehicles, the famous Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway offers hundreds of miles of trails through ghost towns and high mountain passes. Hikers can also tackle nearby peaks or enjoy more leisurely strolls along the riverbanks to spot local wildlife like deer and elk.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for OHV enthusiasts and Jeep owners who want a comfortable and organized base camp for exploring the rugged Alpine Loop. It is also a perfect fit for fly-fishing hobbyists and nature photographers who appreciate the park’s immediate proximity to the water. If you are a traveler seeking a quiet, scenic retreat away from the bustle of more crowded resort towns, Woodlake Park provides the perfect balance of utility and natural beauty.

This was a beautiful RV park location, friendly management team, very helpful, great at helping to guide you in parking your RV. The grounds are very well maintained, beautiful river on the property. Nice amenities, restrooms and laundry rooms very clean. We stayed there in our RV, water pressure was very good which is sometimes hard to find, WiFi was good (Sky-link), place to build a fire by each area and picnic table. Did not have a dog park area but plenty of areas to walk your dogs. Overall very nice place.

Our first time to Lake City and Woodlake Rv park. We stayed in a cabin and it was clean and full of everything we needed. The campers we met were all so friendly and nice. One of their employees , Gordon, was the best and very accommodating! We visited with the owners and they were a big help in giving us recommendations on where to explore. The river running right in front of the cabin was breath taking. This Texas traveler would like to go back for sure!

Tent camper here. The hosts are nice, showers clean, and location is great. The tent campsite is subpar. Expect be crowded right next to the other tent spot and surrounded by RVs and cabins. It's not a private spot. You'd do better scooting up to a cheaper, more private, and scenic spot up Lake San Cristobal. The review by "12 Bravo" regarding their camping experience before mine seems misleading IMO. The hosts are not great communicators either. I emailed them before leaving Fort Collins stating that I would be arriving after 9:00pm (note: they don't specify an arrival window, I did this as a courtesy). Then, while en route, I get a call at 7:00pm asking where I was. I told them I was over an hour out and they sounded quite annoyed but were "willing" to wait for me. Maybe you should state an official arrival policy and/or check your email if this is important to you? Once we arrived, they were quite nice. They just need to communicate better beforehand and align expectations. Personally, I wouldn't come back. But if you're looking for a clean campground with supplies, showers, and community during your trip, you may enjoy this spot.

This park is right on the river, 2.9 miles out of Lake City, CO. It is so beautiful and peaceful. We will definitely be back.

Great people. We came in early and they were very nice to work with and super hospitable. The river ran right next to our camp. Great spot!
