We loved staying at this campground. It was so peaceful at night and during the day because it was not close to any roads at all. We loved how it is tucked into the mountains and had a trailhead a few steps away from our campsite. We had a walk up campsite which was far away from other sites so we felt like we were alone. The river ran through some campsites which was nice to cool down in the summer heat. The campground had clean bathrooms and fresh water a few steps away from our site. The town of Westcliff is super cute too. We went to a bunch of coffee shops and loved our experience there.

had problem with my camp site and the camp host was no where to be found. Stayed in a different site and had no further problems.

Beautiful spot, very well looked after and not too crowded. Some irritating neighboring campers with loud music and noisy vehicles after hours, but that's difficult to stop anywhere.

A hidden gem up against the mountains in Westcliff. Pretty campsite within a aspen forest. Camp is clean and host has been great year after year!

Nice campground. Bathrooms were mostly clean but could have been a little better in my opinion. Close access to great hiking in the Sangre de Cristo range.

I go camping with two other couples. We love the Alvarado Campground so much that we go there every year and sometimes twice a year.
