Lake Pueblo State Park

South Marina, Lake Pueblo SP

We’ve just spent 4 nights at Lake Pueblo parked in site #48 of Arkansas Point, the southern side campground. After a mid-80’s day on Friday, the temperatures quickly slipped into the high 60’s for the remainder of the weekend. By Sunday the forecast at home is for freezing temperatures overnight and into Monday. Not wanting to re-winterize, and with an appointment for some warranty work on the RV on Tuesday, we opt to spend Sunday and Monday night in Pueblo. While sites around #48 offer great lake views, they also suffer from some road noise. Next time we’d like to check out sites a bit further up the hill around 57, 59 or 60. There are also some nice sites on the west side, around 11 through 5. PARK MAP

Boats, Bands and BBQ – Pueblo

6 06 2014

Boats, Bands and BBQ, Pueblo

This weekend we’re attending the Boats, Bands and BBQ festival along the Arkansas Riverwalk in downtown Pueblo. We’re parked at Lake Pueblo, in the Arkansas Point Campground near the South Marina. Sites #48 and #50 are large sites offering electric services and great views across to the lake and dam.

This is one of the first times we’re not camping on the northern shore, and provides a unique view of the lake and easy access to downtown Pueblo. The Riverwalk area is quite a surprise, Pueblo has made amazing progress in this area with inviting restaurants, pubs and green belt areas along the original course of the Arkansas. In 1920, the river was diverted out of town due to devastating floods that destroyed much of Pueblo. The Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo (HARP) returns the river to the original course, along with modern flood controls. The relatively new development has renewed the formerly derelict and disrespected areas of old-town.

The BBQ is good, the bands are never-ending and we have a great afternoon in downtown Pueblo.
