About:

INCLEMENT WEATHER ACCESS NOTE: The access road to reach Broken Arrow after the Indian Point Ramp is a dirt road, with several sandy areas. Heavy precipitation can quickly make the road impassible, or at least difficult terrain, and as a result, we recommend camping at Broken Arrow only with smaller camping units and 4wheel drive vehicles.

WATER LEVEL NOTE: Due to significant fluctuation in the reservoir’s water level, many campsites may become inaccessible due to flooding in April, May, and June.

Amenities: Vault Toilet

Broken Arrow is the campground situated the farthest to the north on the eastern side of the reservoir. 20 campsites are established around and throughout a large, flat meadow which sits behind a stand of cottonwoods along the lakeshore. A short walk through the cottonwoods will bring you to the water’s edge during high water, though that walk becomes significantly longer as the water level drops into September. Sites 13 and 14 are partially shaded, and all of the other sites in the campground are fairly wide open with little, to no shade. This campground is a popular space for groups hoping to camp together, as it is fairly remote, but with sites that are close enough together to allow groups to camp within walkable distances from each other

Bennett Hill is a wide open campground with 44 campsites, and can be most easily accessed from I-25 by turning north on Highway 319 in the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive. Bennett Hill is about a mile down Lakeshore Drive, and will be on the left. The campground is spacious and has plenty of area for you and your family to enjoy the sun and some extraordinary night skies. Most campsites are exposed, with little to no shade, and are situated in a prairie of native grasses. The only exceptions are sites 11 through 20, which are up against a line of cottonwoods. All sites, except for 11 through 20 have large, established, gravel pads for RVs. Sites 11 through 20 are potentially impacted by high water, though trees prevent them from having direct water access. All other sites are a good distance from the water, though many have a decent view of Airport Bay. Sites 3,4, and 6, along with sites 26 through 29 are group sites, which will accommodate up to three camping units. The boat ramp is available seasonally, with the courtesy dock becoming usable in early Spring, and coming out of the water in late July to early August. The day use shelter is reservable from May 1 through September 30.

CAMPSITES AT COLTER BAY ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS. CAMPING IS ALLOWED AT DESIGNATED SITES ONLY.

↪ Get Directions

INCLEMENT WEATHER ACCESS NOTE: The access road to Colter Bay is an undeveloped dirt road. As a result, heavy or even moderate rain and snow can quickly make the road impassible, especially to larger camping units. We recommend that visitors consider camping at Colter Bay only if they are planning on camping in a tent or small RV/trailer AND have a vehicle with 4wheel drive.

Amenities: Vault Toilets (1),  ADA accessible camping pad (1)

Colter Bay is a small campground, which is situated in a stand of Cottonwood trees just off of Lakeshore Drive. With only seven individual campsites, and just a little ways down Lakeshore Drive is additonal 5 more campsites. Sites 10 and 12 do have shade while the other 3 have no shade. Sites 8-12 have gravel pull through sites for those with larger campers/RVs. The campground is largely undeveloped, with only a dirt road for access; six of the campsites do not have any established camping pads. Site 5 has an ADA compliant concrete RV pad. Colter Bay also has decently close access to the water on a seasonal basis. Normally, from May through early-mid July, the bay has water in it, and the campsites have very close foot-traffic access to the water. The water access, and sheltered nature of the cove make Colter Bay a very popular campground during high water. During the rest of the year, the bay drains out, and this campground becomes one of the farthest from the water. All campsites in Colter Bay are potentially impacted during high water flooding.
