Arapaho Bay Campground

The Arapaho Bay Campground is located in the Arapaho National Recreation Area on Lake Granby, southeast of Grand Lake. The campground offers three loops of single and double-family sites, a few of which are accessible. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, campfire ring and tent pad. The campground is situated on Arapaho Bay, on the eastern tip of Lake Granby. Afternoon thunder showers should be expected during the summer months. Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and consequent hazardous tree removal, the campground offers little shade.

The Continental Divide Trail is accessible from this campground.
