Alvarado Campground

Camp host is friendly and helpful. Facilities are well maintained. Great access to hiking. Hydrants in campground are not threaded.

Finally, a quiet campground without generators and loud music. This is why we camp: to hear the wind, water, birds, animals, not ourselves. This campground delivers.

We love this campground! This is our second year coming here. The campground host is always so friendly, and the campground is well maintained. Bathrooms are clean. Most sites are of a good size and well-spaced. Last year we had a large site on the creek, which was perfect for our kiddos. This year our site was smaller, and very close to the two sites on either side of us. We had friends at the campground, so we spent most of our time at their site, but this group of three sites would work well for a large group wanting to camp next to each other. Westcliffe, the town in the valley, is an International Dark Sky Community, so the night sky views here are INCREDIBLE! This is a higher elevation site (9 ft), so it gets chillier earlier in the year (nighttime dipped into the 30's in September of last year). Very close to hiking, with a trailheads in or very near the campground.

I love the Alvarado Campground! There’s a ton of hiking nearby. The camp host is very nice and helpful.

We had never been to Alvarado C.G. before. The setting was quite nice, camp host was very friendly, bathrooms very clean. We stayed in tent only area. It needed some work. I realize budgets are tight currently but picnic table at site was rotting away & needed to be replaced. Access to these sites also needed some work. We were just happy to be camping again and the location at the foot of Sangre de Cristos was beautiful. Near Rainbow Trail.

This campground is beautiful, well maintained, and the host was exceedingly helpful and friendly. My husband and I were impressed by both the natural beauty of our surroundings and the cleanliness of the grounds. Real pride of place is shown by the host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
