SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Tucked into a small east-west valley within Rio Grande National Forest, Alamosa sits between a river and a dirt backroad, with thickly wooded sites that hold shade through much of the day. The sun clears the surrounding mountains late and drops early. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, with room for two vehicles and open ground suitable for tent placement. One vault toilet serves the campground. No cell service, and the gravel access road is choppy enough to keep speeds around 30 mph. Comstock Campground is another option for campers who want to explore further up the road.

Secluded and clean

Beautiful spot, shared with one other truck a few spots away. Clean enough portapotty. Fire rings and picnic tables at every spot. Gravel road from both directions is choppy but ok. Can only go up to 30mph without bouncing too much. Worth it. Tent and pull through spots. No cell service.

Rustic and wooded

I was here on a Thursday and there were 2 other sites taken by the end of the night. This is off a backroad (dirt) that is somewhat well traveled.  So the campground is petty accessible by any vehicle. But the campground is tucked between the river and the road. There was 0 traffic all night, but a few cars by the morning. There is 1 vault toilet and all sites have a picnic table and fire ring. There is parking for 2 cars at each site, but more space to park close by.  No tent pads but the ground is clear for easy tent placement. It is very quiet at night other than the gurgling river. It is thickly wooded and plenty of shade. This is in a small valley that runs East/West, but the sun doesn't pop over the mountains until late and it sets early. This is a free first-come/first-serve campground.
