This was our first camping experience in Colorado. We headed to Granby, CO, nestled in the majestic Rocky Mountain Valley at an elevation of 7,935 ft, surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park with breathtaking views of the Continental Divide.
Stillwater campground is part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area and is the largest campground on the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests. The sites can be reserved on recreation.gov.
The campground is located next to Lake Granby, the largest reservoir in the Arapaho National Recreation Area and the third largest body of water in Colorado.
We got very lucky because our tent site was on the top of the hill facing the lake. The views were magnificent.
There are currently no trees at the campground as they were cut down due to pine beetle infestation. New trees have been planted though. We were concerned not to have any shade but it was not an issue. The big plus is that nothing obstracts amazing views of the mountains and the lake.
