Other campgrounds in the area include Island Lake, Little Bear, Cobbett Lake, Ward Lake, Spruce Grove and Crag Crest.

Jumbo and Sunset Lakes are open to non-motorized watercraft and each are great for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Other outdoor recreation in the area includes hiking, mountain biking, OHV trail riding, horseback riding, climbing, picnicking and wildlife viewing.

The Grand Mesa National Scenic and Historic Byway offers 63 miles of scenic driving as it climbs from the rugged canyon floor, up to the forested mesa tops at 11,000 feet. The road also passes sparkling lakes and meadows bursting with wildflowers. Many trailheads can be found along the byway. Grand Mesa Visitor Center is a short drive from the campground.
