Bellaire Campground is located 47 miles northwest of Fort Collins, Colo., near the Red Feather Lakes village. Visitors enjoy the area for its canoeing, fishing and trail opportunities.
Canoeing and fishing are popular activities on 10-acre, no-wake Bellaire Lake. Anglers cast for rainbow and brook trout, among other species. The campground is within walking distance of the lake via an accessible boardwalk. Several additional lakes are in the vicinity.
Many hiking, biking and horseback riding trails are in the surrounding area, including the 1.25-mile Molly Lake Trail and 4-mile Mount Margaret Trail. Several off-road vehicle trails are located within five miles of the campground.
Other popular activities include viewing wildlife and visiting nearby Redfeather Visitor Center.
The campground offers accessible single, double and triple family sites with electric hookups. Five additional sites are designated for tent camping and do not have hookups. Each site contains a tent pad, picnic table and campfire ring with grill.
Flush toilets, vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Dead and downed firewood may be gathered in the forest or purchased from the campground host.
The campground is comprised of rolling hills, pine forests and unique rock formations. It sits near Bellaire Lake at an elevation of 8,600 feet. Afternoon thunderstorms can be expected during spring and summer months.
Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and the removal of hazardous trees, there may be little to no shade in the campground.
The small village of Red Feather Lakes is nearby, offering limited dining options, gift shops, general stores, a library, post office and a golf course.
A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change or cancel your reservation. Late cancellations are subject to additional fees. For full details see NRRS Reservation Policy.
From Fort Collins, travel north on Highway 287 for 21 miles, to Livermore. Turn left onto Red Feather Lakes Road (County Road 74E) and travel 25 miles, just beyond the south side of Red Feather Lakes. Turn south onto County Road 69 and continue approximately 3 miles. The campground is located on the right.
Great campground and the lake is a gem. I stayed in site #20. The couple in the spot closest to me played their music too loud at night (dinner time ish, not late) and that was really the only downside.
Medium to medium-strong cell service with T-Mobile both at the campground and around the lake.
About a quarter mile walk to the lake. Well worth it. And the whole lake is easy to walk around. Great views. Lots of people fishing, and saw lots of fish jumping for that matter.
Flush toilets in super clean bathrooms. Host was great. Firewood available for $7 a bundle. Will definitely stay here again.
Camp area was very nice but the camps are very close to each other. Camp host was great and very nice
What a beautiful place! The wildflowers are everywhere - more columbine than I have ever seen even on a hiking trail! The lake is not large but great to relax and paddle around. Campground hosts take excellent care & you aren't afraid to go into the restrooms. You can see how close the 2020 fire came to the lake and the campground but the serene, beauty of the area makes it a wonderful place to visit.
Wonderful campground!
We are so fortunate that the campground was saved by firefighters during the 2020 Cameron Peak fire.
The day use area was also saved.
Some sites have electricity.
Such a beautiful area.
Campground is clean and well maintained. Camp host was friendly, attentive & diligent. Beautiful area. 4 stars not 5 because several people did not follow the dogs on leash rule and I had one dog charge my dog which was very scary. Also, the bathroom near our site was out of order and by the end of the weekend, the outhouses got pretty full.
