July 2nd, 2026 - FLOOD UPDATE:

As the lake levels slowly start to recede, we have been able to reopen a few RV sites for reservations. (see comments for site availability at the time of this post)

We still have several shady primitive tent sites available.

Boat Ramps: CLOSED
Nature Trail: CLOSED

The lake levels here at Grand Lake are still elevated for the Fourth of July week, but the show will go on at the Bernice Nature Center!

06/28/2026

Due to elevated lake levels, we have closed the Nature Trails as well as some of our RV and Primitive Tent sites. At this time, we hope to be able to receive all reserved guests into their camp sites for the upcoming holiday, but if you would like to follow along with floodwater releases you can find links in the comments!
