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.
Description
Alamosa Campground is on the Alamosa River 4.5 miles above Terrace Reservoir Dam. There are 5 campsites, one is pull through, with tables and fireplaces, and ample parking. At present, there are no restrooms, vault type toilets will be installed later this summer. There is no water available, bring your own. There is public fishing at Terrace Reservoir and trail access to Alamosa-Rock Creek and Big Lake Trails. Maneuvering space for large trailers and recreation vehicles is limited. Naturally acidic water severely limits fishing in the Alamosa river between Stunner Campground and Terrace Reservoir.
