Ward Lake


April 25, 2024

Ward Lake Camping Area is located in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks and forests. The campground is situated near Estes Park, which is known for its beautiful scenery, hiking trails, and wildlife sightings. The nearby Rocky Mountain National Park is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with options for hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching.

The Ward Lake Camping Area has 11 campsites available for reservation, which include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to a vault toilet. The campground is open from mid-June to mid-September, and reservations must be made in advance through the National Recreation Reservation Service.

One interesting fact about the area is that it was once used as a mining site, and visitors can still see remnants of the old mining cabins and equipment in the surrounding hillsides.

The best time to visit the Ward Lake Camping Area is during the summer months, when the average temperature ranges from 60-80°F during the day and 30-50°F at night. Visitors can enjoy the warm weather and explore the nearby attractions, as well as take advantage of the on-site amenities such as fishing in the nearby lake.
