No sites offered for these datesA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Lakeview Campground sits at about 9,500 feet in a ponderosa pine and sage landscape with a commanding view of the Twin Lakes Reservoir and the high peaks beyond. The campground is roughly 20 miles south of Leadville and is reached by following Highway 24 toward the Twin Lakes/Top of the Rockies corridor and then onto Lake County Road 24; Mount Elbert (14,433 ft) looms nearby to the west while the Mount Massive and Collegiate Peaks wilderness areas lie to the north and south.

“This specific site was great. It was quite wooded and relatively private, not a far walk to the bathrooms and trash. ”
“Really nice campground with plenty of nice sites. Campground host nice fellow. Loved that the Colorado Trail passes right through. Other nice trails in the area...you don't have to drive to get to a trailhead!”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (12,062 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
