Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch

Pat Delooff

We were fortunate enough to stay here twice this year. I miss it already. Yes, there are definitely improvements to be made. Laundry room being the worst! And things like paint/restoring picnic tables is cheap and very doable. The dog park could be quadruple in size. Bad stuff out of the way, the location is perfect if you love being in the mountains. The staff here are SUPER friendly. I already miss chatting music with the guy at the front desk. The cleaning and maintenance staff are always warm and welcoming. And next year we're going to each paint a rock to add to the snake out front! We're hoping to arrive May 1st next year when y'all open again. Can't wait!

Immaculate pools, hot tubs and clubhouses. Spacious sites. Lots of amenities. Every employee from the top down was very accommodating and polite during my stay. I know they are working hard to improve the park every season and I wouldn't hesitate to return!

We received a membership to Thousand Trails with the purchase of our 5th wheel. We love the Gunnison area and looked forward to spending 2 weeks there. The campground location is wonderful, the clubhouses and 2 swimming pools are great. Our site was not level but did have plenty of rock(neighbors left early as they didn’t have any rock and were tired of the mud). We noticed a general lack of maintenance throughout the park, including the sites, picnic tables and weeds. The laundry room was painfully small for a park of this size. When I went to do laundry, 1 other person was present so not bad, by the time I loaded my 2 washers, 5 people were in the small space and 3 waited outside. The WiFi didn’t require a password and was very unreliable. We didn’t have cell phone service (TMobile) at the site so couldn’t use our phones as hot spots. 2 staff members were great, 2 were fine and 2 were less than helpful. No dog run, they do not provide poop bags or convenient containers to place the bags in. Dumpsters were not convenient from where we were camped. We also noticed black tubing and wires running between campsites. One elderly gentleman tripped while setting up, fortunately, he wasn’t injured.

One of the better Thousand Trails parks. The roads were well kept, the pull through spot we had was very long and had plenty of space. The hookups were good (the sewer was positioned properly so we didn’t have to play hose gymnastics) The indoor pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the showers/bathrooms clean. The clubhouse was nice, had a cozy library and large gathering area for activities, pokeno, and bingo. The horse stables on site were fun- we went to visit the horses and give them treats a few times. Staff was reasonable and overall friendly. I do wish there was a spot in a clubhouse with toys for younger children but I won’t hold that against them. Close to the recreation area/ reservoir , river and the National Park.

My children and I just spent a few days at this lovely resort. I have absolutely no complaints at all 👍🏻 the pool and sauna was clean , our cabin provided more than what the website says ( linens, soaps, etc). We enjoyed horseback riding and having fun playing air hockey . The staff is very friendly as well 🙂 We had an absolute blast and we will definitely be back! Thanks for the great memories 🥰

Absolutely loved our 3 week stay at the Thousand Trails Blue Mesa Campground as well as the surrounding area. Gunnison, Colorado, was very welcoming and had all of the shopping we needed.

Besides being surrounded by unparalleled beauty and lovely amenities, the surprising advantage to this campground is for big rigs with 50 amp service. The larger sites are marked “closed”, and they require permission from the office to get one! No more small campers hogging all the larger sites!! That makes this campground SO NICE for us!! 50 amps and plenty of room even though the camp was very full when we arrived! The 30 amp spaces are first come first chosen.

We enjoyed our stay in our camper trailer. The location is nice because it's right by the water and not far from Gunnison. The campground is nice and taken care of. The restrooms were clean but the shower mats need better cleaning. We were disappointed that we were delayed in getting to the campground since we drove from Colorado Springs and when we got there they were closed and their policy states if you arrive after the sun sets you need to stay in the parking lot until 9am the next morning. We understand it was our fault for being so late but we called 5 times to let them know and never reached anyone. They left our paperwork in the box but it said we were staying at a site that was already used so we had to sleep in our trailer in the parking lot with no water or electricity. It was very inconvenient but overall the site is nice. We just wish there was a better policy if people are late.

Nice location. Got a spot up top by the cabins so we could see the lake. Internet never worked. Showers were really old and not clean, so bring your own. Our kids enjoyed the pools and arcade center. We had a free pass that came with our new trailer. We'd come here again if it was free, but might venture someplace new next time.

This is the second Thousand Trails park we have stayed at. The park is in very good condition, the high-desert sites are quite large, and they have some sites tucked away in the woods for smaller gear and tents. Most sites are 30 amps. There are 8 new washers and dryers that take 8 quarters per cycle. There is a nice activity center, an indoor pool and an outdoor one, and both were open. Kids fishing area. Here in a 30 foot travel trailer in July. Aside from struggling with acclimation to 8500 feet, it has been great.
