What a beautiful place! The wildflowers are everywhere - more columbine than I have ever seen even on a hiking trail! The lake is not large but great to relax and paddle around. Campground hosts take excellent care & you aren't afraid to go into the restrooms. You can see how close the 2020 fire came to the lake and the campground but the serene, beauty of the area makes it a wonderful place to visit.

Great campground and the lake is a gem. I stayed in site #20. The couple in the spot closest to me played their music too loud at night (dinner time ish, not late) and that was really the only downside. …

Oh wow. Can't express how much we love this place. So beautiful. If you love the mountains, the woods and love to fish or paddle/kayak. This is it. Camphost is super friendly, the campsites are amazing and we just can't wait to come back

Campsites are well spaced out with plenty of shade and privacy provided by the trees. The camp hosts were super friendly. The only minus is that the bathrooms and water hydrants are closed due to maintenance needed.

Is there free camp spots at Bellaire red feather right now? Few weeks ago I was out there and the in was blocked. Heard that they weren't letting people in because of the fire ban.

Brandon Hurst | Aug 6, 2021
Brandon Gelroth | Aug 7, 2021

We were just in Bellaire last week, pay to stay hookups. I think I saw some spots close to Bellaire that you just pull up and camp, not sure if they are free. All the spots in the campground looked to be reserved when we were there, but atleast it was open

I made a reservation loop A site 5 for Aug 30 and Aug 31 but I want to stay sep 1 also, it shows sep 1 2019 is a walk up so my question is can I reserve it for sep 1 when I get there on Aug 30

Jeannie Klement | Nov 5, 2019
Terry Mabbitt | Nov 6, 2019

I haven't checked out the records yet but the last day for reservations is usually Labor Day weekend Memorial Day is Labor Day. If it shows the day before Labor Day is open it should be able to be reserved. And I would not wait cuz someone could snap it up. But if that day is not set for reservation and you are the last one in the campsite you don't have to leave that site. The days after Labor Day are all walk ins. People that have reserved campsites and are still there at First Choice on that site as a walk in as long as they haven't left. My phone kind of screwed that answer up didn't mean to say Labor day is Memorial Day. We were just talking about end of season holiday
