Camping opportunities abound at Lathrop. Lathrop’s two campgrounds have 103 sites that can accommodate motor homes, trailers and tents, and offer either a basic or improved camping experience. Improved Sites provide 20/30/50 amp electricity at the site, but do not provide water or sewer hookups. Piñon Campground is ideal for large camping units.

Winter camping is available.
Located 3 miles west of Walsenburg on U.S. Highway 160.
The facility is great and well taken care of. The problem is that there is almost no shade, the winds are blowing pretty hard, and you are far from the beach.
The other campground in Lathrop is much better, especially if you want to enjoy the water
The primitive camping area needs upgraded bathrooms! Also the camp ranger could set a great example by driving a little slower.
My children and husband had fun camping here. It’s was very cold but was still fun for my kids to step out of their comfort zone and roast marshmallows and cook soup over fire. The place was cozy with lots of trees and a lake. I know we made beautiful memories for our children and would recommend this place to family or friends.
The swimming area was amazing, the campsite does not have any shade at all but at night it perfect for watching the stars!!
Wonderful campground. Spots are super nice for each trailer. Water, electricity picnic table, fire pit on pavement. Great experience for the newbie. Beautiful views.
