Beautiful spot
The site is really well set up and nestled in beautiful aspens. There are homes nearby, but spaced far enough that you feel very private -- much more so than in most campgrounds! We only saw a few people from the site over 3 days, out walking their dogs. It's a great place for your dog to wander off leash. We saw multiple deer right by our campsite and heard coyotes at night. The lodge is a fun diversion with good food.
Note to folks traveling from the east as of Sept 2024: Google maps took us from US-50 to CO 149 to Alpine Road because the middle bridge across the Blue Mesa Res had been closed for construction. This takes you from the far end of Alpine Rd, which is 20 miles of winding dirt road, some of it quite rutted, rocky, and narrow. We did it in an AWD car and it was okay (and beautiful!), but takes about an hour because you have to go slow. It turned out to be unnecessary because the bridge had just opened. Check out the CODOT website for US 50 bridge status before you go. The easy route is US-50 all the way across Blue Mesa Res to Alpine Rd.

The location of this site is gorgeous! It’s in a beautiful aspen forest, and feels quite private and peaceful. Not too far from Blue Mesa reservoir or Black Cany

Camping with Kiddos
I absolutely loved staying at this spot, my family recently stayed a weekend and it has everything you could need. It actually rained each night we were there (like, thunderstorm!) and we stayed so dry and warm both on the tent pad which is slightly elevated as well as in the provided tent. There is a supply closet on site which has extra supplies if needed and was a great place to store a few things to keep them from getting wet. Lisa was a phenomenal host and responded to any questions we had quickly and kindly. The campsite features a tent, bathroom, picnic table, firebox, tent pad, parking spot and supply closet. The firebox was perfect for closing up at the end of the evening and keeping extra firewood dry. Lisa also provided chopped wood which was so helpful! On our trip we visited the Arrowhead Lodge which had live music, drinks and food available, we also went to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. My family and I had a great time! Thank you for such a perfect camping spot.

Lisa’s site was an excellent place to stay! She was a very attentive host and checked in halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything brought to the site for us. The amenities were my favorite part! She provided so many things to make the stay enjoyable! The location was nice and a great place to camp with dogs. The last road you are on is gravel for about 7 miles but is very doable if you go slow.
