Stunner Campground near Del Norte, CO, is surrounded by rugged terrain with elevations that offer expansive views. Temperatures can range from lows in the 30s Fahrenheit during cooler months to highs in the 80s during summer. Nearby, visitors can explore the Rio Grande National Forest and the Great Sand Dunes National Park, both offering unique natural attractions.
Description
National Forest
Stunner campground sits at 9700-foot in elevation beside the Alamosa River, two miles below the top of Stunner Pass. There are 5 campsites with tables, fire pits, a vault-type toilet, and adequate parking.
There is no water supply, so plan to bring your own. Firewood is limited. Convenient trailer spaces available. The Alamosa River is nearby for fishing. Unfortunately, naturally acidic water severely limits fishing in the Alamosa River between Stunner Campground and Terrace Reservoir. Big game hunting is possible.
The ghost town of Stunner is just east of the campground. This was a mining town that failed, due to nonproducing mines and transportation problems. Parts of the town are private property, so pack out all your trash and observe posted no-trespassing signs.
