About

Mesa Campground is a family-run RV park and tent site located 3 miles west of Gunnison on U.S. Highway 50, situated between the town and Blue Mesa Lake. The facility operates seasonally from mid-April to mid-October, with an elevation of 7,583 feet. It offers a mix of open and shaded sites with full hookups including electric (30 or 50 amp), water, and sewer. The campground accommodates various rig sizes, with specific sites designated for larger motorhomes up to 40 feet. Amenities include clean restrooms, showers, a dump station, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, and communal fire pits. Two modern cabins are also available for rent. The site is pet-friendly and provides access to nearby outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and water sports on Blue Mesa Reservoir. While some reviewers note that site density can be high with tight quarters, the location serves as a practical base for exploring the Gunnison Valley and nearby Black Canyon National Park.
