About

National Forest

San Juan National Forest

Alamosa Campground is on the Alamosa River 4.5 miles above Terrace Reservoir Dam. There are 10 campsites with tables, fireplaces, vault type toilet, ample parking and a developed water system operated with a hand pump. 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.

Hot, but fun for water sports

We camped here during the summer. It’s a great location for water sports, as the entire reservoir spreads out in front of you. Unfortunately there is very little shade, and we roasted. There were many RV’s here as well, which probably was ok for them, but annoying hearing generators running for AC. Would recommend spring or fall, unless all you plan to do is play on the water.
