Lake Pueblo State Park
Lake Pueblo State Park has been welcoming visitors who come to take full advantage of the nearly 5,000-acre reservoir since 1975. Those looking for an RV vacation filled with water fun should consider the 383 multipurpose sites located here, but hikers and bikers can also find plenty of things to keep them satisfied. The reservoir provides a beach for swimming or you can hop into a boat and go fishing or skiing. Jet ski rentals are available. As you hike or bike along the miles of trails along the Arkansas River, you will come across people flying remote control planes, picnicking on the banks, sailing in the distance and taking advantage of the opportunity for wildlife photography.

Pueblo KOA
The Pueblo KOA contains 60 RV-only sites that each provide a picnic table. If you prefer not to so near the water, this can be a good choice--it's surrounded by desert. There is a rec room with a pool table and video games. Outdoor enthusiasts will find hiking trails and fantastic opportunities out in the desert to get in some mountain climbing. Those who enjoy the water are not out of the loop either; both swimming and boating are available. A unique attraction at this site is the jumping pillow that is like a curved trampoline stretched over the ground. Another big plus is the sight of Pike's Peak in the distance.

Fort's RV Park
Fort's RV Park is located within the city limits of Pueblo and is just 10 minutes away from the reservoir. Bring your swimsuits and don't forget your skis. The reservoir provides the opportunity for watersports, and if you arrive in the latter part of the summer before school begins, there's convenient access to the Colorado State Fair--the fairgrounds are just five minutes away. Fort's is also close to the Nature and Raptor Center where you'll find additional opportunities for fishing, nature hikes and kayaking. This campground features 55 RV-only sites.
