The Belle of Colorado is a tent-only, non-reservable campground located on the eastern shore of Turquoise Lake in a shaded lodgepole pine forest. Facilities include vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, fire rings, and pedestal grills. Several desirable campsites are located near the shoreline. Firewood is available at the host site. During weekdays, usage is moderate, but heavy on weekends.
From Leadville, follow signs to Turquoise Lake Recreation Area.
This campground is amazing with your own private beach that doesn't allow day use...campers only. Extremely clean and the camp host was so helpful and kind. I had site 7 and must admit it was one of the nicest. HUGE site overlooking the lake. Great trails to hike nearby and a short 15min drive to Leadville.
An excellent spot to camp in the Rockies if you can secure a spot. It is all first come first serve, but offers excellent acesss to Turquoise Lake.
The best relaxing place for camping . My family spent a couple of days. It was very fun . My kids are loved it . They wanted to go again.
We drove all the way to Leadville hoping for a spot from the first come first serve basis campsite since all the campgrounds were fully booked . Luckily ,we found a spot on this campground . We were welcomed by the nice host .
The campground was really nice . It was close to the lake and it was super quiet at night. The sites are spacious and they have good distance from other sites . They also sell firewoods which is cash basis . They have drinking water taps and clean restrooms. Will definitely come back here next time .
P.S: This is an only tent campground.
