Clayton Lake State Park Campground

Dark skies park

Gorgeous park with lots of space for camping. Only stayed the night, so no time for Dino footprints or hiking but the stay was great.

Great stop and the dinosaur tracks were an added bonus.

We had a site with electric/water and it was pull through. Nice and level. Room for a huge rv.

ATT service was 2-3 bars. Speed 34 down, 28 up.
No Verizon or Sprint.

Would stay again! Follow us on our journey on Instagram @canadianbucketlistlife

Well off the main road and down below the hills, This campsite offers tranquility and beauty. Clean restrooms, showers and the bonus feature of prehistoric artifacts

Hauntingly Beautiful... prairie landscape with mesas in the distance. Suddenly you come to the very pretty little lake which seems like an oasis. Night we were there storms rolled across the mesas and afterwards the stars were bright and numerous. Saw large herd of Pronghorns. Very friendly staff and campers. Well worth the 20 minute drive off the beaten path as alternative to commercial overnight park.

ATT is great but Verizon non-existent.

We camped at Clayton during FCFS season and managed to snag one of the 7 water/30 amp electric sites ($14), which all filled up during both nights of our mid-week stay. The CG also offers a variety of shapes and sizes for dry sites overlooking the scenic lake, and we likely could have found a few of those that would fit a large RV. The electric sites are all large enough for larger RVs, but it’s hard to get into any of them. The narrow road on a steep hill that leads to the sites shows the scratches and dents from RVs trying to make the hard turns needed to park. Once we were in our site, there was no leveling necessary, but again, upon exit, we used the oversized lot to get turned around rather than try for a hard left turn up a narrow hill.
The CG is pretty and quiet, and offers lots of site spacing (more in the dry sites), but there is no Verizon service and no dump station. This CG is also really off the beaten path. When I saw that it was about 10 miles up the road from Clayton, I didn’t think much of it, but the road to the lake is in rough condition, hilly, and winds its way out into very rural country. Overall, the trip was worth the quiet respite, but I don’t know if we’d make the drive for a single overnight.

Electric & water for $14 on the lake. Can’t beat it.

Stayed here on our way from CO to TX. Sites are beautiful and park itself is tucked away so will have to travel another 15 min off the main road but so worth it.Gravel sites some more level then others. They have both electric and Boondocking sites all are great. If we didn’t have to be back to Denver would have relaxed here for a couple of days. If you enjoy bass fishing this is the place. Would definitely stay again. Rangers are super helpful.

Nice and quiet. No T-Mobile but heard AT&T works.

A hidden gem. I stayed on the south loop down by the cliffs. Small but nice lake. Plenty of open spaces and privacy. Nice facilities. Windy, but kept all the bugs away.
