Lathrop State Park

Lathrop State Park encompasses two small lakes just outside Walsenburg, with Loop D sites providing distant views of the Spanish Peaks. The campground offers electric hookups, though many campers find the natural setting sufficient without power. Water spigots are available at select sites, with a designated fill station near the entrance.

Most sites appear level, and staff make regular rounds through the grounds. The park includes paved trails around the lake, additional hiking paths, and a moderate Hogback trail that proves challenging for older dogs. Coin-operated showers occupy small stalls, while restroom facilities mix flush and pit toilets. Campers should watch for prickly pear cactus when walking pets, particularly after dark. Cell service provides one bar Verizon coverage, sufficient for streaming. For additional options, explore camping near Walsenburg.

Clean quiet, well managed

Just outside Walsenburg, CO, 2 small lakes. We had electric but did not use, loop D spots had some nice views of Spanish Peaks in distance (youngest peaks in Rockies), several small playgrounds for kids, SMALL shower stalls (coin op with changers available), some flush, some pit, toilets (all clean), 1 bar Verizon but were able to watch Chiefs/Chargers game on phone. Gift shop, paved trail around lake, some other hiking paths, quiet hours were kept by campers. Noticed staff made regular trips through grounds. Hogback trail moderate (perhaps on side of harder moderate, tough for older large dog--wouldn't take him on it again). Electric sites available (chose one but did not use the hookup). Did not notice ANY hwy noise in loop D.  Water spigots available at SOME sites and/or spots in campground with one designated water fill-up spot near entrance. Most if not all sites appeared level. Beware of prickly pear cactus while walking dogs, particularly at night.
