  Do you know if you can kayak in the reservoir? Or just boating seasonally? Thanks!

• 
  @coloradocampgrounds-whatyo770917 күн бұрын

  I went to Palomo SP in the fall and the water level was very low as the reservoir is heavily used by the farmers in the valley below. So I did not see any boating activity on the lake when I was there and the marina was closed. I did find this paragraph about the boating activities. “Boating: Water skiing, boat fishing, and general recreation are the main water activities on the 337-acre reservoir. Motorboats, sailboards, and other personal watercraft are permitted” Therefore it does appear that kayaking is permitted. You can always contact the state park administrators. Happy camping and thanks for using our KZread channel.

  Just looking at 11 mile this week for a quik getaway ( only bout 1 hr 45 mins away from us ) I used Goog Earth to view Sat image of the campground so we could reference trees, shade, rocks for wind protection and where we could put a tent. There seems to be a few good sites at Rocky Ridge , however most are pretty wide open as evidenced from your Recon video. RV'ers do fine here but tent campers need to pick the right site otherwise they will get hammered by the winds coming across the whole of South Park valley -which is incredibly huge. Thanks for producing these videos its a tremendous help when trying to figure out a campground here in CO

  I assume by your comment that you mean that you are traveling the southern route across Colorado and stopping at the National park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison. You may want to check out the Great Sand Dunes National Park which features the largest sand dunes in the U.S. Further east is one of our favorite state parks named Mueller SP (electric hook-ups). A small hidden gem near Mueller is Eleven Mile Canyon (not to be confused with Eleven Mile State Park). Eleven Mile Canyon has no hook-ups but is very unique with three 1800’s train tunnels that you drive through along a stunning cascading river between towering canyon walls. At Colorado Springs, we have camped several times at Cheyenne Mountain State Park (near NORAD) which overlooks the Colorado plains and Fort Carson (you can hear taps in the evening). Finally, in Denver Cherry Creek State Park is on a Reservoir with several camping loops in an old cottonwood grove. You can view videos of these campgrounds on our KZread channel. Happy camping!
