Houston Mesa

Great place for a peaceful camping with an enjoyable environment.

Campgrounds were clean and quiet. When our reserved site became unavailable because of tree damage, the camp hostess, Judy, called and personally worked with us to find another site. Greatly appreciated the effort!

I had reserved a spot on the Bear Loop but because of the heavy snow the week before I was re-routed to the Elk Loop. No complaints! Very nice and accommodating Camp Hosts. Will return again.

Beautiful camping area with lots of trees. Each site has lots of unpaved room to spread out and mix tents and RV camping on the same site. The paved areas for cars and RVs are quite narrow. We had trouble fitting a truck with 20' trailer and a compact car and used creative parking. If you are planning multiple cars you might need two sites or possibly there is some overflow parking. This campground is a mix of beautiful forest camping and medium level amenities. There is no power hook up so forget summer camping. The ELK LOOP where we camped was right near a busy road where semi trucks like to use the very loud compression braking so it was hard to feel like we were really away from the world camping. For the price there are other camping areas that have power hook ups and better amenities. Overall having been here twice I'm probably done with this place as a tent camper, but would consider coming back if I owned an RV with batteries/solar.

Excellent stay. Greeted as we came in: advised we had a site reserved for next day but req'd it for current day. Park host contacted Elk loop host & was advised that the site was open for current day & cleared of snow.. Perfect!

Was a great experience! Awesome site.

Unfortunately showers were closed due to COVID-19. Also the dump station was closed. Good hiking trails in the area! Close proximity to Walmart!

I was disappointed the host would not wear a mask when interacting with me and selling wood, or the ranger who stopped to talk to me during the pandemic. But the bathrooms were clean.

The site was nice enough and the volunteer that helped us was great, but paying $10 to use the dump station after already paying for the campsite is a bit excessive, and the lock on the dump cover was difficult to operate and could close if one wasn't ready to prop it open.

What a great place to camp and spend time with family! We had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Hosts of the campground upon arrival, Mr. Stoney and Mrs Judi. They were extremely pleasant, very welcoming, and available to us for anything that we needed. You could see the pride they take as Hosts as the campgrounds were very clean. We are already planning our next trips and looked at some of the other campsites on our walks, all of them were absolutely beautiful! The restrooms were always clean and available within a very short distance from our campground.
