Little Bear Campground

We loved this campground. It's right on the lake and located in the trees so plenty of shade. It's very peaceful, especially at night. Great walking paths along the lake and great fishing! The road and loops are tight so big rigs probably won't fit but we got our 24 ft tt in and out with no problem. The next campground up (Island Lake Campground)has great spots for larger rigs or bigger groups that might have multiple vehicles. The host was great and most of the other campers were respectful.

Beautiful place to camp , very very pricy by the night compared to 1000s of free spots all over the mountain. Most recent camp host is a grumpy guss, no worries though I chose to go there and can choose not to next year.

This place was great. Had a fantastic time here with all the great fishing. There are many other people here that keep quiet, yet get full enjoyment of all the recreational activities. Off road 4x4 area close by. Good Bathroom facilities and friendly host available if necessary. Oh yeah.......fresh air to spare!

What a beautiful spot next to the lake! I wasn't able to find a more remote spot in Colorado on my trip. Deers visited me in the evening and cows at breakfast. I guess this is as wild as it gets, while still having a toilet in reach.

The Grand Mesa is literally awesome. The drive up from Grand Junction is a slow burn, but once you get to Powderhorn the views are consistently amazing. It was 98 degrees down in the valley when we left, but it was 74 up on the Mesa. Little Bear campground is on Island Lake, and has sites right on the lake, which is kind of funny because Island Lake campground is not right on the lake. Little Bear has thirty something camp sites and basic toilet facilities. Firepits and picnic tables are standard. The lake is clear and cold, and popular. Plenty of paddleboards and kayaks dot the lake, with people fishing the banks. It gets cold at night even in summer, so pack accordingly. The attendant on duty was friendly and knowledgeable, and they have firewood for sale. Make sure you bring everything
