We have been camping at Alvarado for more 40 years. We raised our children up here. The Host is always helpful. Water quality is great. The view can't be beat .

We have been going to Alvarado Campground for at least 30 years. And it has been a pleasure for us. The campground has always been clean on the grounds and in the portable outhouses. The hosts are always amazing and helpful.

The camp hosts- Patti and Tim were amazing. Alvaredo campground is an old campsite- some sites have been updated and improved. We prefer the older ones. Weekends are loud- so many people- most are quiet by 10 pm. Access to the Rainbow Trail is a bonus.

Nice, secluded place with pretty views. Only a 15 minute drive from town and lots of hiking spots in the surrounding area.
