Pine Point Campground is situated next to Vallecito Reservoir in southwestern Colorado. Visitors enjoy the area for its beautiful scenery and wide range of recreational activities, including boating, fishing and hiking.
From Bayfield, Colorado, turn north on County Road 501 for about 13 miles, to the Vallecito area. Turn right on County Road 501A and travel almost 4 miles to the campground, which is located on the left side of the road.
This is a very beautiful place, with or without snow. An adventure to behold.
One of the best views I've ever experienced. Words, photos, and videos don't do it justice. This is simply an amazing national park. If you want to add a place to a bucket list, this is the place.
Beautiful and scenic. Absolutely peaceful. I was surprised to find that we had cell service with AT&T and T-Mobile at our campsite. Not super duper service, but I could communicate with the outside world.
The only gripe I have is some of the trails being crazily uneven and littered with rocks. A lot of these paths have pretty sizeable dropoffs to one side and sometimes you really have to skirt that drop edge to avoid large rocks, massive dips, or branches. It'd be nice if park services would clear these paths like once or twice a year. I mean, I don't need the paths city Boulevard smooth, but some of those spots were real seat biters. We stayed along and traveled trail road 45 and trail road... 727 I think? 7something7. I hope this helps.
