Clean, spacious cabin! Close to lake and nice little campground.
Brian Mattuch
Friendly staff who were unfortunately overwhelmed with repairs. Facilities are in disrepair, multiple water leaks caused all water to be shut off to bathrooms and our site for a day. Hot water heater in restrooms and showers out for a day. Staff didn’t answer phone (probably because they spent most of the day around the campground addressing issues). Go to Mountain Time RV Park instead, it’s locally owned, managed and well run.

Come stay with us, we are close to Gunnison. We are also close to river access and Blue Mesa Reservoir is right around 5 or 6 miles away. It'll be a Blast this summer.

We camped there as we were traveling through the area. Good parking for your camper and clean bathrooms. We parked our 30ft Arctic Fox fifth wheel with no problem. Friendly staff and convenient to Downtown Gunnison.

Had a great weekend stay here with our RV. The campground has RV spots, a tent area and cabins. The campground was clean and quiet. The tent area located at the center of the campground was especially nice with the grass shade from the large trees. The campground provided live music around the campfire and s’mores on the Friday evening and was a nice surprise. They also had a great little pancake breakfast on Sunday, which was perfect for getting an early start and avoiding breakfast dishes. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend for a future visit.
