  • Beautiful area which was highly recommended to us while in the area. Well worth the travels to see the beauty of this area and enjoy the views of the mountains and waters below.

  • This is a beautiful recreational area for camping, fishing, boating, and living. The Gunnison River flows along Route 50 into the Recreational area and fills up into a lake. The water level is low at the lake but you can still put your boat in. The National Park Service visitors center is brand new and just opened recently. Camp sites are plentiful. Enjoy!!!
  • It's great to have an electric hookup option in the shoulder season. We were able to roll up with no reservation in April and easily grab a spot on the electric hookup side of the campground. Limited facilities otherwise (no water no toilets) but everything we needed was there when we needed it. The main loops were plowed as were many options for spots.
