Great campground close to the lake and boat ramp. All the sites are pretty flat and good for tent set-up. Nice long parking spot for a car and boat. Clean bathrooms nearby. The campfire grills work well - bring your own wood and charcoal.

Very nice campground! Sites are not too close and everything was very clean. Cant wait to come back!

Stayed one night at Elk Creek Campground and it was incredibly peaceful. The sites are nestled in the shrubs and some back right up to the creek, which made for a super relaxing atmosphere. Everything was clean and well kept, and even though there are no showers or cell service, it was nice to disconnect and enjoy nature. The stars at night were amazing, and it felt like the perfect quiet retreat after a long day of driving.

Everything was great

Very nice spot for our visit. Early in the season so very few campers. Enjoyed the small herd of mule deer that greeted us in the early morning. Site was level so minimal blocking was needed. Picnic tables were very nice but with the very cool weather we chose to eat inside.

During the off season there are not a lot of options for camping in this area, but we were lucky to find Elk Creek and get a good site in the A loop with a great view of the water- (we did not opt for D loop which I discovered later has electric hook ups!) Overall, it was a peaceful place and we enjoyed our brief stay overnight. We took a short walk down to the water, but it looks like a great place for more recreational opportunities. The time of year ( early April) meant there was plenty of sites to choose from so we drove through and then easily reserved and paid online for our preferred site.

Amazing campground with amazing stargazing opportunities, and Lakeside views mountains on the other side and very calm in the night

@NeilE28DCBE11B · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #D6

Quiet and beautiful setting.

@TonyWC2D11D87B · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #D10

OUR SITE WAS LEVEL, CLEAN, JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR OUR 25' CLASS B+ AND GOOD POWER AND GREAT ATT SERVICE.

@DonnaP3046858 · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #A18

Nice level spots nicely spaced. No shade. One day was real windy and the next day there wasnt even a whisper of a breeze.

@JoW4865370 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #D24

The layout of this campground is user friendly, has adequate spacing between sites and always pleasant camp hosts. The views are perfectly western Colorado. There is lots to do - biking, hiking, fishing, boating and just plain enjoying camping. Star gazing and the dark night skies can't be beat. Nothing better than to watch the full moon rise over the eastern horizon, sitting by a warm campfire and listening to the night. The town of Gunnison, has many choices of eateries, shopping and activities. Although right off Highway 50, you get used to the noise of the traffic. The light distraction is almost eliminated by virtue of the great amenities.

Great campsite and camp spot! Amazing view of the lake and sunset! Wish there were trees for shade but there are ways to bring tarps etc so I wouldnt knock a star rating just for that. My dad and I had a great time! Also I appreciated the motion censored bathroom lights at night :)

So much fun - return every year. But if you don't want to abide by the quiet hours, please camp elsewhere.

Spaces are well maintained and widely spaced.

Didn't care much for the camp host. She was rude. Other than that it was a great camp ground.

We loved our site. We loved the wonderful 3 mornings that we got some great kayaking in. We loved the views. We loved taking our dogs to the water. Why not 5 stars? On 2 different occasions, we had loose dogs rush us as we were walking our leashed dogs. The one incident, nothing was done because the dog didn't make it onto the road before the owner grabbed it by the collar. The other incident, we were told that dogs out on the road are taken very seriously and the owners would be warned. The camp host was always out and about; on her bike, on her go cart & walking. Are we really supposed to believe that no one else had these dogs come after them when they walked past the two different sites? Because we didn't want to take the chance of the dogs still being unleashed, we walked thru the brush to walk our dogs. We had been told that probably there were no snakes but there were ticks. Ticks or dogs rushing at you? Great choice.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
