Terrible experience staying there. Within a week I was forced to leave, no explanation as to why. Asked Adam, the "owner", and he gave some lame excuse saying it came from the owners. Don't trust anything these people tell you. The showers were broken and the one that worked was ice cold. Restrooms were disgusting. Drug deals happened nightly along with loud music being played well after midnight. Local cops won't do anything about it cause they're paid off. Don't stop here, don't give them your money. Fort Garland is four miles away, and alamosa is 20.

This is not my review. It was edited because someone, more than likely the Blanca RV park, had requested that it be edited. I exposed a lot of information and obviously they didn't like it. Very bad people. They watched me since the day I pulled up all the way to the day they knocked on my door telling me to leave. Many of the people staying there are associated with the park, and they watch you like a Hawk. Very insecure once they found out that I could defend myself. There is only ONE good person, his name is Jeremy and he works mornings. Do NOT STAY here. If you need to STOP, wait until morning, and hope to find Jeremy behind the counter. He’s got long hair, really nice guy. If you don’t see him, leave and just go to The Fort which is 4 miles east instead. There’s an Alta there. Stay away from the Blanca Police Department. They are biased. Watch your speed as you drive through on the 160 to avoid attracting them. Stay COMPLETELY away from Costilla County Sheriff. They are corrupt, untrustworthy and unhelpful.

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Rented a spot out for a month, less than a week after moving the rv on the property we get an eviction notice for the end of our pay period with no reason as to why. We had done nothing out of the ordinary, no trash left outside, waste properly disposed of. We were never warned if we were too loud during a quiet hour or anything else of the sort, otherwise behaviors or anything else would have been corrected. The only thing we had to do was change the brakes on our car, drive the vechilce around, and was yelled at that we were going too fast despite no clear signage for speed limit. When asked, we were told literally "We dont know, talk to Adam." Adam is apparently the owner. When I asked if I could have a phone number or contact info to reach him I was told no. There are no rules or regulations posted for the camp grounds posted or otherwise, no signage, not even a speed limit sign to officially post or regulate anything. Even when you pay, there is no info sheet or regulations sheet they give you so that you have the proper information for the park amenities and rules. The staff are rather rude in demeanor and very judgemental, seeming to take advantage of the fact there are no clear rules or regulations against anyone new to the park, anyone new to this little residential "clique" they have going on here. I wouldnt waste my money into these people's corrupt pockets or anyone else's in the town of Blanca for that matter. Spend your good money somewhere that at least has a hot shower and a good environment 👌 Edit, asked the lovely couple next door if they pay month to month, to which they say they indeed do. Since the eviction notice, dog poop has been left on my site and my vehicle has been scratched/tampered with someone putting sugar in my gas tank. These people are unhinged and dangerous. Stay away!
