A tornado touched down at 11 Mile Reservoir in Park County at 2:16 p.m. Park County Sheriff's Office says the tornado cut through Witchers Cove.

Officials say a tornado damaged vehicles and turned over two boats at a campground near Hartsel, but no life-threatening injuries have been reported.

5 people were treated for minor injuries, and everyone is accounted for at the campground.

Sheriff Fred Wegener estimated about five vehicles were damaged, including a motor home and pickup truck with a camper that overturned. He says another camp trailer was "completely obliterated." Other vehicles had damage such as broken windows.

The campground has 24 spaces. Wegener says the complex was about 80 percent full. Campground officials say they had no warning of the tornado.

The 11 Mile Reservoir Park is still open.
