This was a beautiful campground overlooking the west end and Dam of Blue Mesa Reservoir. The beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. We stayed for 2 weeks and had the time of our lives. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our group rode ATV's right from camp with spectacular views. The lake was beautiful and in less than 5 minutes had our boat in the water. The fishing was fantastic and we had a blast. We would recommend this campground for a destination. Lots of fun activities and the staff knew all about the area and had all the current information. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is poorly maintained. Junk is all over the place, i.e.; old foundation pieces in the grassy areas, old cars, building materials. There are no bathrooms or laundry. There are some seasonal/permanent campers that appear to be poorly maintained. Don't be confused by the flashy web site. The campground is not worth even an over-night stay unless you get caught out in the area with no alternative. On the positive side the owners are friendly and helpful with local tourist info. We only stayed there because we had a reservation based on sight seeing in the area and their web site. Our $20 rate is the Passport America rate and definitely not worth that! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Granted we stayed very late in the season. However, the first space were assigned was so unlevel our right rear wheels were about 9" off of the ground. AND we had about a 18" drop from our last step to the ground. We scouted around and they agreed to move us to a slightly more level site. We still had a 12" drop from the last step. MOST spaces are not level. Dryers DON'T dry. Will NOT stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is not as manicured as usual. There's overgrowth of weeds and shrubs in the sites. The power was adequate for one AC unit, voltage meter read borderline, but the climate was cool,and we got a shady spot. They are leaving ads on RV windows to get members at the table to sell more upgrades,ONLY an additional $4500 from existing members to add to our perks. NO THANK YOU. These Western Horizon parks are going downhill fast; actually, a staff member told us that their parks are all for sale.Question, why try to sell more perks to members when you are trying to sell the place anyhow? We are quickly losing our faith in the WH system, as we move along,and are finding less desirable parks than we did 8 or 10 yrs ago when we got into the program. We will NOT stay here again. Seeking newer upgraded memberships with newer parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access to park. Some tight turns to our spot. All hookup is at the back of the rig, so check before you un-hook. Staff seemed very friendly. They had a full schedule of activities. No cell phone service in the park. Few trees and desert landscape. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent one night here the Wednesday before Labor Day and had a pull-through site in the middle of the park. The site configuration was a bit confusing since there are supposed to be 54 FHU and 60 pull-through sites. I can not say that there aren't 54 FHU, but I don't see how there are 60 true PT sites. The only way there are that many PT sites is if you drive off the park roads and go behind or between other sites to "pull-through". Our site would not have been a PT if the site in front of us had been occupied. I also had difficulty situating the RV in my grassy, ill-defined site because of the awkward location of the hook-ups. Other sites I saw, especially the back-ins, did not appear to have this problem. A lot of these appear to be extended stay sites. The WI-FI worked fine for us, but that may be because the park was only half full. There is no cable, but most sites appear to be satellite friendly. It's a nice enough park, but I would definitely want a different site next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an extremely nice KOA. This is an example of an older KOA being continually modernized for new, larger RV units. It is located near the town of Gunnison, making it easy to four-wheel the area. I would recommend if you have a large motorhome or fifth wheel to reserve the double-wide spaces in the middle of the campground. These are long pull-throughs on grass with lots of room between sites. The owners/managers spend a lot of time on maintaining the grounds and sites. Flowers are everywhere. With the spectacular view of the surrounding mountains, this campground is hard to beat. We would definitely come back to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Older park, sites are pretty level. Nice view of lake from sites. Owners are friendly have convenience store, along with propane. Wi-fi was very slow. Fisherman like to stay here and get up early to start the day. If we come through here again we will stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Older park (camped here 20 years ago) so it shows some age. On a hillside overlooking Blue Mesa Lake but sites are mostly level. Lots of fishermen on weekends. Across highway from US parks and boat ramp. Staff is friendly and helpful and store has tackle, some groceries and drinks. Propane on site. Roads are gravel, sites are gravel and grass with shade trees. Sites are located east-west, you can see the lake and mountains from rig in many cases. WiFi is very slow. This is our 3rd time here and we will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They say they have Wi-Fi, but we were unable to access it from our site. It was very spotty service. They pack in trailers and pop ups 2 to a space, so it is somewhat crowded. The pop up next to us was asked to relocate so the park could put another pop up next to them, but the price remained the same. The site we had was nice until the trees started dripping sap onto our RV, toad, and everything else underneath. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were in a premium site, number 111, and were very pleased. We had a private patio, fence between us and the next site and a gas grill. The regular sites are a little close which is why we chose to pay the extra for a premium site. The campground is well kept and the staff are friendly. The laundry is clean and reasonably priced. We would stay here again. Be sure to review the site map when picking your campsite since some of the sites are very close together. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wanted to stay at least 4 nights here, but left after three. Very close-to-your-neighbor sites; you can step on their sewer connection as you sit at your picnic table. The tent sites are in front as you come in, really distracting. Mosquitoes were too intense to enjoy sitting outside, as the park is adjacent to the river. Lots of children! A minuscule spot next to the garbage bins and the highway for walking dogs. Very busy place, staff was pleasant. Perhaps a better bet in the off season? We won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is basically a large gravel lot with small grassy areas with picnic tables between sites. Sites very close to level with a number of nice long wide pull throughs with back ins around the outer edge. Mature trees on three sides of the park. Have seen deer in the park. Area is newer and is well maintained and clean. They have put in a small chip and putt area. Well off US 50 with very little noise but not real well signed. Nice laundry and shower area. Good basic shopping in Gunnison. Manager lives on-site. No separate dump site. Manager. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has senior in its name: it is not senior. Also, it seems like several people who stay here are related somehow. I do not know how, but some spots which are occupied are able to have the spot next to them for their vehicle. These spots are never assigned to arriving campers. There are several pets which are not leashed and several owners do not pick-up after their pets. One site was allowed to use the narrow grass strip (common area) as their own and their 3 pets, instead of using the end area with table assigned to them. The site next to them was utilized by their satellite dish! As far as I know no-one admonished the rude campers. Some of the related folks do not go around an occupied site but walk through others paid spaces. The work campers keep the park as nice as possible and work hard; however all paying customers should have equal rights! We camped here in a Motorhome.

As others have said it is basically a large packed gravel lot. A number of the sites have small grass areas and there are a lot of young trees in the park. Large mature trees on two sides of the park. It is well away from any major traffic noise and very quiet. It is a fairly new area and it shows. Access is excellent and sites are real close to level. All hook-ups functioned well. No cable tv but I got all the major networks off the air. No in park store but access to town is good. Good strong Wi-Fi. Staff lives on site and is very friendly. Nice small clubhouse with covered picnic area. Sites a bit closer together than I prefer. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
