Beautiful spot! A little noisy because of the proximity to the road but the views and convenience to activities makes up for it.

Great home base for exploring Blue Mesa, though the campsites are really just suited for RVs. Beautiful views from the campsites though made it all worth it!

The booking system did not make it apparent that the campground we booked was for an RV. The campsites for tents were limited and parking allowed was one car only. The bathroom was nearby and the view down the lake was beautiful and there was reservoir access walking distance down the hill.

This is an RV campground. Do not go here if you are tent based. There is no privacy, no shade, no grass. It’s awful.
