Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

I’ve stopped here twice and used the campground to “kill some time” while enroute… Adaptable staff and ok sites. I’m a “pull through kind is person and there are a good number of these available. Water and electric (with a dump station available) for $22 (plus $4 for whatever…) is quite a deal. Showers, yes, but minimal. Lake is VERY low, so don’t come here looking for a great waterside experience.
Town has a couple of grocery stores. The one I shopped at was really complete but seemed pricey on most items (and I’m from California…) Lots of fuel choices too…
Pretty decent place to overnight fairly close to I-20, or to kill a couple of days “on the cheap”

OK for Night or Two While Journeying I-20... needs some TLC. Our site, Rolling Hills area site 37 was extremely unlevel side to side and front to back. Looking at various sites, this is common. If you have dogs, there is a horrible sticker problem. We are talking about hundreds on your dog if you don't watch out. We would stay here again as an overnight stop only.

On the good side, they have helpful , friendly office staff. And, as a bonus, FedEx and UPS deliver here

The campsites range from ‘ok’ to ‘needs help’. A tired park that could use some revamping. We enjoyed the different landscape.

A different/rugged kind of landscape. Really peaceful. Also somewhat windy - not sure if this is seasonal or not.

Starlink worked fine. T-Mobile, Verizon, Visible and Cricket were light on signal strength. Both Verizon and T-Mobile are 5G and download was ok but upload sucked

Stayed one night here as a stopover on a much longer trip. Friendly park employee at the kiosk. Site was mostly level with a decent view of the lake. Hook ups were fine but only used the 30 amp. The bath house on my loop was closed for repair, so I had to walk a few hundred yards to an adjacent loop for a shower. Not super pleased but it happens. The bath house on that loop was serviceable but nothing to write home about. Did a nice walking trail that hugged the lake and then took the pavement back to my loop. Campground was quiet and sites in my loop were decently spaced. The lake is not really much to look at. There's an electric facility on the east side, with wires running through towers along the shoreline. Not a great view TBH, and a local told me they never bring the lake back up since the plant is closed, so it looks like winter pool all year round. Not much in the area, but not too far off the freeway to be problematic. Would stay here again as a stopover only, not as a destination.

I arrived just before sunset and was greeted with a beautiful view. I was the only one camping in the tent area. I car camped in site 095. There is plenty of space between sites, no electricity, but there is running water. The site was a short walk to the restroom. The restroom was a little worse for wear but still usable. There was some trash in the shower drain, but I removed it without issue. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and worth the money for a quick overnight just passing through.
