Accessible only by boat on Blue Mesa Reservoir, this National Park Service campsite provides a remote camping experience within Curecanti National Recreation Area. The boat-in format requires campers to transport all gear across the water, making advance planning essential for multi-day stays.
The site sits along the reservoir shoreline with direct water access for fishing and swimming. Campers must bring their own water, as no potable water sources exist on-site. Vault toilets serve the area. Coal Creek offers a drive-up alternative just over a mile northwest for those preferring road access.
