Graham Creek Campground

Graham Creek Campground is located near Vallecito Reservoir with 25 sites - 15 reservable sites and 10 non-reservable sites. Some sites are surrounded by large trees while others are more open offering some sun and some shade. Underbrush separates campsites for privacy. The hillside sites are about 100 yards from the high-water line. Willows separate campground from lake but paths provide access to the shoreline. Sites are available for large RVs, although entrance and exit roads are steep. Services include water, trash pickup, fire grates, picnic tables, and pit toilets. The only commercial development on the east side of the reservoir is the resorts just north of Pine Point. They have most camper services, but gasoline is not available. The old rough, natural-surface road spur and boat ramp at the campground is permanently closed; therefore there is no public access. For paid campers only, the lake can be accessed on foot via that a social trail on the old road spur. Trailered boats must use the boat ramp on the west side of the lake after getting a Colorado Parks and Wildlife inspection.
