From Pueblo, go 25 miles south on I-25 to exit 74. Go west 18 miles on state Highway 165. Turn into the south entrance at Lake Isabel and drive 1 mile. Look for Ponderosa Group campground signs.
Bathrooms are horrible--setbtonbe demo'd (for 2 yrs now). Lots of lookey-loos wanting a place to squat because they didn't plan ahead. Trails are nice, but you're a couple of miles to the lake. Lots of smokers around the lake. Day picnic areas are really nice--first come first serve; handicap access. Lake offers stock fishing and opportunity for non-motorized water sports.
