We are making our way into eastern Colorado and after resupplying in La Junta we head for Holbrook Reservoir. The area is more or less a large gravel lot with no facilities, but the views over the reservoir are nice and cell / data service was very good on Verizon. There is a small boat ramp at the end of the gravel lot. This was a nice plays to stay. No traffic noise or disturbance of any kind, but the wanderlust just keeps us going, so on we go: Scouting Destinations.
Directions: Go west for about 5 miles on US 50 out of La Junta, turn right onto CR 24.5 at Swink. Follow CR 24.5 for about 2 1/2 miles and turn right at road FF. Holbrook Reservoir will be on the left after about half a mile.
You may want to note for others since your visit in 2019 currently all Colorado State Wildlife Areas require a current valid hunting or fishing license or a SWA access pass. I stay in these areas and have had my paperwork checked a few times, I believe they catch a lot of people camping without proper paperwork because I’ve noticed they’re particularly keen on checking campers vs hunters/fisherman.
