About West Lake
Overview
West Lake Campground is located 48 miles northwest of Fort Collins, in north central Colorado, near the village of Red Feather Lakes. Visitors enjoy the area for its canoeing, fishing and trail opportunities.
Recreation
Canoeing and fishing are popular activities on the 25-acre, no-wake West Lake. Anglers cast for rainbow and lake trout. Several additional lakes are in the vicinity.
Many hiking, biking and horseback riding trails are in the surrounding area, including the 1.5-mile West Lake Trail and 4-mile Mount Margaret Trail. Several off-road vehicle trails are located within five miles of the campground.
Other popular activities include viewing wildlife and visiting nearby Redfeather Visitor Center.
Facilities
The campground offers 31 accessible single- and double-family campsites, with electric hookups. Five additional sites are designated for tent camping only and do not have hookups. Each site contains a tent pad, picnic table and campfire ring with grill.
Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Firewood may be gathered in the forest or purchased from the campground host.
Natural Features
The campground is situated in a ponderosa pine forest, on the shore of West Lake, at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Afternoon thunderstorms can be expected during spring and summer months.
Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and removal of hazardous trees, some sites have reduced shade.
Nearby Attractions
The small village of Red Feather Lakes is nearby, offering limited dining options, gift shops, general stores, a library, post office and golf course.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at West Lake?
Campsite Sniper's current snapshot shows none of the 70 tracked site-nights open for online reservation at West Lake. That can mean dates are reserved, closed, not yet released, or offered first-come, first-served rather than online. Campsite Sniper has also detected 38 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Sep 18, 2026 16:19 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.

Campsite Sniper detected 20 site-date openings at West Lake in the last 7 days, 36 over 30 days and 38 over the last 90.

4 of the 34 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 40 ft. 29 of those 34 sites have a recorded maximum length and 5 do not; they are not counted as fitting.
Does West Lake have online availability right now?
