We rented spaces 18-20 as a group, and it was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

Awesome experience to Grand Mesa. I was in site 36. Nicely shaded and wind protected. The upper numbered sites less than 36, have incredible views but no wind protection. There really isn't a bad site in the campground. Enjoyed a morning walk along Island lake trail and later in the day at Crag Crest trail. Beautiful wildflowers and views. Trail is well maintained. Rocky in several parts.
Visitor center is closed with no information or brochures available there. Learned my info from other campers and visitors outside the center. Also took the drive to Lands End. Drive was definitely worth the view. Road is mostly gravel and has quite a number of places with holes and rocks. No mosquitoes during my time on the Mesa! A pleasant surprise! Weather was mid 60s during the day.

Cancellation policy

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
