Trinidad Lake SP, is a great little park with great views. Some sites have full hookups, but for the rest we have 50 Amps, there is water in the area, mine was 225 feet away, lucky me I carry that much hose! Very quiet. It was during some rain storms that we visited so it’s a bit cloudy looking but nice park. There is a short 1 mile trail that will take you by the water and there is an 8 mile to and from trail that leaves the park area so there is plenty of opportunity for a nice hike from camp.

Quiet and scenic place to enjoy hiking, camping, fishing and more. Employees and visitor center were lovely and gave great advice. We did two hiking trails one of which warned it was steep. If your not an advanced hiker like myself I would recommend paying attention to those signs as I was very scared during that hike. The lake is also fun to sit by and watch the water and enjoy the views of the mountains. Trails are marked with certain sceneries you should see with a brochure detailing info of each scene.

Easily accessible with ample camping and parking for hikers, Trinidad Lake State Park was a welcome addition to our Southern Colorado stopover. Absolutely beautiful; every bit of it.

We stop here on our way northwest after a 10 hour drive. 4th visit I think. 25% occupied; were there on weekdays. Coin operated shower! Family bathrooms so we can shower together. Beautiful fishing lake. Sites in the upper 40s have great lake views.

Is there overnight camping?

lloyd leithead | Oct 12, 2021
Leslie Lochard | Oct 13, 2021

Yes there is overnight camping for rvs and tents. I camped in a tent at the south shore campground. The nightly fee plus day use fee is $28. I love South shore camping area. The spots are really spaced out a d overlook the lake. There is a bathroom and water spigot but no electricity or showers. There are showers elsewhere in the park but I could not find them. I also seen a bear so keep your food put away.
