We enjoyed our stay in Space 29 at Alvarado. The campground is very clean, the bathrooms were well kept, and the hosts were friendly and caring. We could hear cows mooing in the distance and geese honking. The stars at night are the prettiest ever. If you go to just see the stars you won’t be disappointed.

Great campground. Pitched tent at site #33 off the main road so quiet and right by a bathroom and water. Site #33 is between Aspen. Pretty site

Beautiful area. Campground was well maintained. Liked that there were separate pads for tent camping. Guests were driving a little fast through the campground, however.

Beautiful campground, we had a walk in tent place, a bit secluded, which was perfect. We did the hike up to the Comanche lakes, via the trailhead at the base of the campground. It was stunning!!

Camp host is excellent. Put toilets were well kept. Great access to area trails. Only downside is full sun exposure at some sites so plan accordingly.
