Beaver Lake Campground - Ouray RD

Beaver Lake Campground sits south of Beaver Lake with 11 camping sites nestled under spruce trees.

Beaver Lake is a popular fishing lake for day users, as well as, campers. Heavy 4-wheeler traffic along main access road. There is no drinking water at this campground, but water is available 1 mile south at Silver Jack Campground. There are no close communities to get provisions so visitors need to bring everything they need.
