Scout troops, school groups, or any organized group that wants a genuinely wild prairie setting in June or July, when prickly pear cactus blooms and bison are active on the open range. Reviews call it clean and shady, and the 300-foot quartzite cliff at Eagle Rock is the real dra
Amenities here are unconfirmed at best and nonexistent at worst: no listed water, no hookups, no fire rings per the operator. Factor in the no-alcohol rule, manure smell when wind shifts off the adjacent farm, and constant farm noise, and anyone expecting a comfortable group retr

Horsetooth Reservoir, <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=432">Colorado-Big Thompson Project</a>, furnishes the main water supply for the Poudre Valley. The reservoir is 6.5 miles long, and is formed by four large earthfill dams. Developments include 4 campgrounds, 111 campsites, and 7 boat-launch ramps. A concession-operated public marina is located at the Inlet Bay area. Concession operated restaurant (Cordova's Horsetooth Lighthouse, 970-223-3922) is located in the South Bay. A developed public swim beach located on the west side of the lake. NOTE As a result of the Modernization of the Dam project, Reclamation lowered the water at Horsetooth and began modernizing the four dams. The reservoir has approximately 1,899 water surface acres, 1,978 land acres and 25 miles of shoreline. Primary recreation activities include fishing, power boating, water skiing and camping. Primary sport fish include rainbow trout, crappie, smallmouth bass, white bass, wiper, largemouth bass, and walleye. <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/gp-bin/arcweb_htoothr.pl">Current Reservoir Levels</a> Colorado State Parks operates a small visitor center at Lory State Park, located next to the north shore of Horsetooth Reservoir.

June and July deliver the spectacle: prickly pear cactus flowers blooming yellow against pink quartzite, daytime highs in the mid-70s to mid-80s, and full access to trails and interpretive programs. Nights cool to the 50s and 60s. Wildlife viewing peaks in summer when bison are easiest to spot on open prairie. Winter limits both staff availability and facility access. Expect higher weekend crowds during peak season, and book group sites well ahead.
June–July prickly pear bloom and pleasant highs, full trail/interpretive access; highlight season.
