This campground features many sites with electricity, a full-time host and paved driveways. Plus, it's in the beautiful Mesa Lakes complex and Recreation Area, an easy 30 minute drive from Palisade.

The location was beautiful. The sites were large and in the trees. There was easy access to trails and lakes. The toilets were very clean and well lit. Loved the electric hookup in a National Forest

Hosts, Ken and Kim were very helpful. But facilities are old and in poor condition. Odor in toilets was terrible, but interior was clean. Water faucets need replacement as only one location was able to have a hose attached in order to fill my fresh water tank. I’ve been in this campground almost every year for the past 20 years. The sites are great and free of debris and fire pits are clean.
