So much fun - return every year. But if you don't want to abide by the quiet hours, please camp elsewhere.

Spaces are well maintained and widely spaced.

Didn't care much for the camp host. She was rude. Other than that it was a great camp ground.

@TerriM1031964 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #D13

We loved our site. We loved the wonderful 3 mornings that we got some great kayaking in. We loved the views. We loved taking our dogs to the water. Why not 5 stars? On 2 different occasions, we had loose dogs rush us as we were walking our leashed dogs. The one incident, nothing was done because the dog didn't make it onto the road before the owner grabbed it by the collar. The other incident, we were told that dogs out on the road are taken very seriously and the owners would be warned. The camp host was always out and about; on her bike, on her go cart & walking. Are we really supposed to believe that no one else had these dogs come after them when they walked past the two different sites? Because we didn't want to take the chance of the dogs still being unleashed, we walked thru the brush to walk our dogs. We had been told that probably there were no snakes but there were ticks. Ticks or dogs rushing at you? Great choice.

@AveryC115A4029 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #A38

The campground was beautiful and super clean. Overall it was an amazing experience, however, one of the camp hosts was extremely rude to us.

@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #D20

There was a lady with a golden retriever that was a complete menace. Her dog almost attacked our 5 year old. This same lady went to the camp host and complained about our (well behaved) dog and the camp host threatened us with legal action (whatever that means). The same camp host came by two to three times a day to threaten me and my wife. The camp ground was nice but dealing with the lady in D13 campsite, her dog, and the completely over the top camp host that never even asked what happened but took the side of some lady with a dog she could not control made this trip a trauma filled week that will never happen again for us. Our 5 year old cried the entire night after the incident with the golden retriever and now is afraid of dogs. The camp host should be fired for her lack of unbiased investigation into a situation that ruined our vacation that we wasted vacation days on from work. Overall 1/10 experience and the 1 is for the reservoir that we had to sit at every day so we didn't get yelled at by a camp host or bitten by a crazed dog.

@PamelaEMB3092A · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #A36

As always, we enjoyed the campground. Blue Mesa is one of our favorite trips. We were sorry to find that the visitor center hours have been cut back & the ranger talks were not nightly as they have been in the past. We hope that changes in the future. We also hope that the showers can be fixed, so traveling to another campground is no longer necessary.

@CaseyF5956959 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #A26

I car campdidnt find out until I got there (after staff was gone for the day) that this is a walkout campsite. Photos are misleading. Im currently looking for a different campground. This was incredibly disappointing.

@JonathanB16578 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #A29

Very nice faculties as well as a great view of the water. Only issue was people were playing music till 1am

@LindaD7786634 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #D26

Really nice and clean campground. Hosts were friendly and willing to help with anything needed. Very pleasant stay. Would definitely stay here again.

@DavidN43A7A56F · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #D14

Clean, good space and happy with amenities.

@JeremyM5241042 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #D4

Love this place, been camping here for 35 years. Going downhill in regards to maintenance. Was disgusted by the overall facilities and door handles on the inside of the men's bathroom, obviously not cleaned for some time. Watched the cleaning crew clean today and all they did was fill a 5 gallon bucket, dump it on the floor and scrub the floor. Never saw any bathroom cleaner enter the bathrooms. Are the showers ever going to reopen?

@MeaganL2968520 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #B70

The campsite was clean (including the bathrooms). There is drinking water available on site. The park rangers and volunteers were friendly and helpful. The lake views are nice - you can walk right over and get in a kayak or paddle board. Great hikes nearby. Several campsites are not level, but nothing you can't overcome with a few leveling blocks. Not much shade near the campsites, and frequently warm and windy in the afternoons.

@SarahM1574964 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #B83

We camped here over 4th of July with our two toddlers and a dog in our camper and had a wonderful time. Everyone was very friendly, the campsites were clean. We really enjoyed kayaking and swimming in the reservoir and our boys loved biking around the campground loops. It was a fairly quick drive into Gunnison and there were great hiking trails in the area as well. Overall, I'd highly recommend this campground!

@LuisaG8C324C11 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #A33

Stayed at elk creek campground for 2 nights & it was great. My only complaint is that the site we originally booked (A31) has absolutely NO space for a tent. This site has the best views but its good if you have a car tent. Thankfully, the host Anitta was absolutely amazing and helped us contact recreation.gov to have our site changed. We ended up in site A33 which had more room for the tent and still great views. The restroom facility was clean and extremely convenient. The campground was quiet, and just beautiful. Anitta is without a doubt one of the best hosts weve encountered and she is very friendly and willing to help. I would definitely stay here again. Beware that it can get windy, especially late afternoon and night so be sure to secure all your belongings. Also beware of chipmunks and mice trying to get to your food so keep it secured and dont leave any crumbs around.

@BrookeM2C4FBC1 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #A44

The spaces were nice. Fire pits were very nice with trex picnic tables. The bathrooms were clean. We were disappointed that the advertised showers were locked without explanation.

@LarryS9195164 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #D21

Clean spots.

@CHRISTOPH55817 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #B72

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
