Great place to camp if you're looking to explore Colorado National Monument. November is an excellent month to visit this park.

I frequently visit Highline Lake State Park going and coming to Grand Junction. The Mountain Bike trails are fun, peaceful and uncrowded, and I can ride my eMTB.

This state park is nice for its big shade trees and the water nearby. The sites have plenty of space and it was very quiet and not many people there. It was crazy hot, felt muggy then adding the insane amount of mosquitoes is why I gave it a low review. A few of the sites were flooded and however they are watering is making it a haven for the blood suckers. We have a 42ft 5th wheel we stayed in site 15 and is so plenty big and then some for our trailer and truck.

The mosquitoes are vicious, due to their interesting watering cycle and methods they are breeding aggressive mosquitoes and I guess they're not treating the mosquitoes because it is worse than anywhere in all Grand Junction and the mesa. And super noisy. The other campers, One of the camp host was running their grinder at 7:00 a.m. if not sooner. No privacy.

Highline State Park it’s incredible in the springtime with beautiful green campsites and plenty of shade. The reservoir is wonderful to ride bikes around and highly recommended to come for the 18 hours of Fruita race.

It was great. Was there for the 18-hour of Fruita bike ride. I didn't ride, but I did enjoy walking my dog.

Peaceful, Serene, gorgeous sunset, glorious sunrise. Wonderful Campground hosts. You won't be disappointed. Noticed this nest in the tree above campsite 20, whether it's birds or insects with stingers I'm not sure but I'm leaning toward stingers. You decide.

Even though we are in our winter season here in Colorado. Highline Lake State Park is a lovely place. I hope to come and visit in the Summer time when everything is in full bloom. However it has been a lovely drive through the local farming community to arrive at Highline Lake State Park.

Don't know why this isn't rated higher! I liked the lake walk which was about 3.5 miles. There were many shaded picnic tables and beautiful views. Few folks to disturb your peace. Mesa Lake is gorgeous! Perfect spot for a walk and picnic. And the ladies at the ranger office were lovely and super helpful.
