In fact the fishing is good for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout at Horsetooth Reservoir, just west of Fort Collins. There are also over five miles of water to boat in and over 100 campsites available. FYI - There is also camping at other Larimer County Parks including Carter Lake, Flatiron and Pinewood Reservoirs. Although you cannot reserve a camping space you can pre-pay a camping space. Camping permits are purchased through Park Rangers at Larimer County Parks.
Campground hosts can also provide camping information.
The Parks Department expects campsites to be pretty full by Thursday night - Friday morning before Memorial Day . There is no public access to the reservoir through the north end including Horsetooth Reservoir and Satanka Cove.
