Other funding partners contributing to the project include Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Friends of Larimer County.
“Sky View Campground is a great example of the role partnership plays in achieving positive outcomes for the community. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to Great Outdoors Colorado, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Friends of Larimer County for their generous support of this new campground,” said Daylan Figgs, Director, Natural Resources.
Group reservations at Sky View opened in January 2022, and the campground will open officially to reserved campers for the first-time beginning May 20, 2022. Summer reservations are filling quickly.
As a fully paved campground, Sky View can accommodate both RV and tent campers. In addition, the paved site makes the campground accessible to individuals with mobility challenges.
