Take exit 49 (if coming from Grand Junction) off I-70 to HWY 65, go approximately 18 miles on Hwy 65 and turn left onto HWY 330. Go 12 miles to the town of Collbran. Stay on 330 East past Collbran for about 12 miles to Mesa County Rd. 64 6/10ths Rd. and turn right at the “Vega State Park” sign. Go 5 miles to the Park Entrance Station, and go another half mile and turn right across Vega Dam to the Park Visitor Center.
Not much to do here unless you bring your two or four wheeler's. Fished for 3 days here and never even got a bite. Talk to other campers and the said the same thing. We were wondering if maybe they ran out of fish. Luckily we did have have ORV's to go explore. Would I go back? Yeppers. But I think the folks in town are a bit cranky....They acted like we had green faces and purple money. Oh well.... We will just be more prepared next time and spend no money in town.
Beautiful camp ground in VegaLake State Park, CO. The lake is low this year, so fishing was challenging. However, the park was clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time here.
I first came here in early 2021 when I was l staying in Parachute. Probably April of 2021.
The scenery of this place stunned me, it was spectacular, wide open space, overview of the water reservoir, flat bank, mountains surround the campsite.
I came here many times during my 3 months stay in Parachute. I had grill BBQ in numerous occasions here. Enjoying nature and serenity.
In January of 2023, I came again, the entire area, including the country roads to the campground, was covered in snow and ice, the entire campground is buried in snow that’s minimum 1 meter deep.
It’s still empty, which is amazing.
Ice fishing and camping can be done here. I’d imagine that’ll be a fabulous experience.
Love this place, I will definitely come again in the future once I’m in Colorado.
