When you camp at Highline Lake State Park, check-in time is 1 p.m. on the day of arrival and check-out time is 12 p.m. (noon) on the day of departure. A reservation is necessary, and camping is allowed only in designated areas. Please do not tie anything, including hammocks, to the trees. The maximum stay is 14 days within a 28-day period. A maximum of six people, two motorized vehicles and only one camping unit is allowed per individual site. The group camping area can accommodate up to 100 campers.
Please be aware of closures for watering. The arid climate of the Grand Valley makes it challenging for park staff to keep grass and trees alive and healthy. One of the methods we use for the grass in the campground is flood irrigation, meaning we flood the campsites to get the maximum amount of moisture into the ground. During watering days, certain campsites are closed for the day. These closures are built into the reservation system.
Pets are allowed at Highline Lake. All pets must be under control and on a maximum six-foot leash at all times, and not attached to any park signs, trees, shrubs or hydrants. Pets may not be left unattended, and pet owners must promptly clean up after their pets. Leashed pets are allowed in campgrounds, picnic areas and on designated trails.
Highline Lake’s campground is open year-round. The Camper Services Building with flush toilets and showers is open year round. Some amenities may not be available during the winter months.
