About Lone Rock Campground (Co)

The Gill Trail is an intermediate hike that weaves through Cheesman Canyon. The trailhead is near the campground and extends 7 miles southwest to the Cheesman Dam at Cheesman Lake.

Nearby Attractions

The drive along Highway 126 from Pine Junction affords magnificent views of the valleys below. Pikes Peak can be seen in the distance and other prominent rock formations present themselves throughout the scenic drive.

Lone Rock Campground (Co) Reviews

We had a great time at Lone Rock fishing and tubing. It was quiet but fun - water was low but still good to float in a tube. Water was cold but with sun was awesome. Lots of good fishing. However, if you go and are in a tent DO NOT book site 9. It i not tent friendly. There is no tent pad and no flat space to pitch a tent. We had to pitch our tent on a slant. Not fun. Please fix this site!!!!! Site 8 also didnt have a tent pad but had a bit more flat space. If in a tent, I would avoid these two sites. If not for this, I would have given it 5 stars!
