I camped in my camper van 2 nights. Pleasant stay. Friendly host. Good wi-fi. Beautiful views. Quiet at night. I particularly liked the enclosed dog park. Very close to Gunnison/WCU. I would stay again.

I am commenting on the RV sites and the park in general. Been coming to Gunnison for years and always stayed at the parks near town. However, going forward I will be staying at Oasis. Really great park right across from Blue Mesa. Very long sites to accommodate any kind of rig, laundry and bathroom house on site. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Really enjoyed our stay and the Oasis will be our new “Gunny” campground. Thanks

I arrived after hours, and I was so grateful someone came back to the office to find me a spot for the night :) There’s no cell service in the area, so I was otherwise going to be in a really sticky situation…The shower / laundry facilities were perfect for my needs. I felt safe and my dog had plenty of space / grassy areas to explore :) My only complaint was the WiFi - It was mostly great, but a couple hours before I left, it went down and didn’t come back on until I was gone. Other than that, I had a lovely overnight stay! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful :)

I tent camped last weekend here. It was a great experience! There were maybe 4 other tent campers, and they spaced us out so that we were not on top of each other. The campsite was great! The bathrooms were clean and close to the tents. The area is beautiful. The campground was so quiet at nighttime!

We had so much fun here! The tent site was perfect for our tiny tear drop camper. The facilities included some showers (pro tip: turn alllll the way to hot to get warm!), laundry (which we did not use), a large community tent with grills and tables, and we rented a propane fire ring. All around we had all of our needs fulfilled but really were blown away when we needed some Tylenol from the shop after they had already closed late at night and the manager picked my husband up from our site in their 4x4 ATV, drove him to the shop, and let him in to buy what we needed! The grounds fall pretty quiet after dark (respectful!) and there is great star gazing. We were comfortable, felt safe and enjoyed a sense of community while we were visiting.
