Amazing campground with amazing stargazing opportunities, and Lakeside views mountains on the other side and very calm in the night

Nice level spots nicely spaced. No shade. One day was real windy and the next day there wasnt even a whisper of a breeze.

The layout of this campground is user friendly, has adequate spacing between sites and always pleasant camp hosts. The views are perfectly western Colorado. There is lots to do - biking, hiking, fishing, boating and just plain enjoying camping. Star gazing and the dark night skies can't be beat. Nothing better than to watch the full moon rise over the eastern horizon, sitting by a warm campfire and listening to the night. The town of Gunnison, has many choices of eateries, shopping and activities. Although right off Highway 50, you get used to the noise of the traffic. The light distraction is almost eliminated by virtue of the great amenities.

Great campsite and camp spot! Amazing view of the lake and sunset! Wish there were trees for shade but there are ways to bring tarps etc so I wouldnt knock a star rating just for that. My dad and I had a great time! Also I appreciated the motion censored bathroom lights at night :)

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

@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #B62

Spaces are well maintained and widely spaced.

@AnthonyM286222 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #A40

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

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.

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.

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!!!
