  Good Location

  Great location for area activities, nice pretty green grass for dogs, bathroom and showers are clean but definitely need an over haul. Positive and negatives are livestock are cute walking around, down sides are poop paddies every where gets annoying.

  Dearhamer Campground

  Deer hammer Site #3

  Site #3 was a good spot right on the water. Water was stagnant and not worth getting in. Would be good for fishing. Spot was hot during the day but cool at night. Lots of mosquitos.

  Spring Creek Campground

  Beautiful and well spaced sites

  This is a review for the actual campground. As another review mentioned, there are dispersed sites up the road and many are nice but I stayed at the campground. There is a stream on one side of the campground and most of the sites are on that side of the loop. The sound is wonderful to sleep to. On the other side of the loop is where I stayed because the view was incredible. The camp host was great, everything was clean and well cared for and there was plenty of space between the sites so it didn't feel cramped. This is a first come first served campground.

  Turquoise Lake Primitive Camping

  Beautiful Spot Nearly Ruined by Glass

  It wasn’t packed, even on the 4th of July. We were able to find spots no problem. The area is gorgeous and quick access to tons of off roading trails. People around are respectful, and there are tons of spots to camp at without feeling too close together. We had a blast. Only downside is the fact that a lot of the campsites are covered in broken glass.

  PS - The stars at night are incredible!

  Monarch Spur RV Park & Campground

  Great smaller RV park

  Really enjoyed staying at this park, site was incredibly long but a bit skinny but did the trick. You can hear the river running almost everywhere in the park

  Met great folks there, staff was very nice too.

  Turtle Rock Campground

  Fantastic Campground

  I came here planning on staying a couple of nights, but I think I'm going to go ahead and stay an entire week. This place is fantastic. I don't think I've been anywhere that is this nice for free before. Absolutely beautiful, well cared for, nice people. What more could you ask. Even the pit toilet was clean and well stocked with toilet paper. There are plenty of places to hike and explore and close to BV as well. AT&T 4G and 5G great reception.

  Lake Irwin Dispersed Sites

  Quiet Quiet Retreat

   so it is a bit of a drive back. I probably went 9 miles was all alone spent a week hiking very reasonable rates for a senior citizen Road all the way back not too bad though no electric at the state campground, but there was access to water.

  Free but comes at a price

  This place is beautiful. Easy to get to. Has cell service and wonderful for mountain biking. It also has a host that definitely is not dog friendly. He says he has been bitten multiple times and honestly, I get why the dogs did it. I know he thinks he’s doing the right thing but he’s over the top. But hey, if you don’t have any dogs this place might be for you. I doubt I’ll ever come back.

  Dump Run by Crooks

  This campground is an absolute dump run by dishonest crooks. We stayed here in October on a night that it got below freezing and snowed. We were put in a cabin that had a 2-inch gap between the bottom of the door and threshold. The heater was more like a hair dryer and didn’t warm the cabin. It was 40 degrees in the cabin so we didn’t sleep. The floor crunched while walking on it and the platform bed was metal. When we got off the bed there was a loud bang. When we tried to get a refund from the owners she blamed us and said the problem was we didn’t understand rustic cabins. We have stayed in rustic cabins in the cold months for 10 years and never experienced this. There are many places in Buena Vista…take your business elsewhere.

  Sawatch Base Camp

  Exactly what we wanted!

  My wife and I recently had the most magical four days at this Yurt, and we cannot stop raving about this hidden gem!🌲✨ 

  From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings—the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. The yurt itself was not only cozy and well-equipped but also nestled in a picturesque spot that felt like a private slice of heaven.

  The attention to detail was outstanding. The thoughtful amenities, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfy sleeping quarters, made us feel right at home. We enjoyed quiet evenings by the warm wood stove, gazing at the star-lit sky through the yurt's skylight—a truly enchanting experience. 

  The hosts were incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed for a seamless stay. Their passion for the outdoors and commitment to sustainability added an extra layer of appreciation for our Yurt experience. 

  The hiking trails nearby were a nature lover's dream, offering breathtaking views and a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was the perfect retreat to reconnect with each other and with nature. 

  If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway,  Sawatch Basecamp Yurt is an absolute must-visit. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a unique haven in the wilderness. We're already planning our next escape to this piece of paradise!🏞️❤️

  Great Free Campground

  Nice views and still close to town. Toilet didn't have toilet paper one night, so I would bring your own. Some sites are kinda close to each other, but everyone was respectful and I had no issues. Would stay there again in an instant.

  Great find

  This BLM campground has free sites and pit toilets that are kept clean. It’s a great location above Buena Vista and great views. FCFS but people moved in and out daily.

  Great campground for beginners

  It was my first time camping, and this place is very beginner-friendly. 

  The site provides water and restrooms. The site is close to trails and fishing spots.

  Last year for free camping here!

  This place was very much like a reservable campground but without water or electricity. It’s technically on BLM land so it’s free this year but that’s changing starting next year. This campground is open till December 1st! The reception for my Verizon phone was only 1 or 2 bars and when my fellow camp set left on Sunday, I have SOS no service. The camp host was so strict on parking it borderline harassment. The sites offered beautiful views, the sky was great for stargazing, and sites were spacious. There are picnic tables, fire pits with grills attached, and 2 vault toilets.

  Free Primitive Campground 2023

  Stayed at campsite 11, Sept. 8-9 and loved the location further from most other sites and pushed back to the edge of the wilderness with less traffic. The max parking in that spot was only 2 cars and the camp host was VERY strict about not having more. The camping has picnic tables, fire pits with grills, and 2 vault toilets. The views were beautiful and the night sky was great for stargazing!

  Best Free campground and close to town

  Pulled up on a Friday afternoon not knowing there were multiple festivals going on in Buena Vista but there were a few spots left.  The Camp host helped me find a site that ended up being a Group site but said its first come first served.  The outer sites were nicely spaced from your neighbor.  Site 8 is large and you have lots of room to move around and great views!  Bathrooms were clean and close to our site.  The Camp host is very nice and helpful but is very strict on following the rules- especially keeping your dog leashed at ALL times, even when laying down at your camp site.  He will check.

  My AT&T service was not good throughout the entire town.

  Awesome place to stay with SXS

  We got there the Sunday before Labor Day and stayed all week. People were leaving so the park was fairly quiet. Full hook ups were nice to have. The temps were getting below freezing at night. Nice change from the Texas heat. The morning we left it was 23 degrees so protect your water lines. Great place to stay and ride out of park. Camp host were very friendly and we look forward to going back next year.

  views of princeton and yale

  Beautiful spot- quiet neighbors. picnic tables at some sites. We were able to set up our tent a hundred feet or so from the pull in and get great views of mountains and stars.

  Tight, but clean

  You'll pass several free dispersed campsites along this long mountain road as you make your way to this pay-campground. A river runs alongside the campground. There wasn't a camphost during my 2-night stay, but a ranger did his round each day around noon. Vault toilets were well-maintained. No cell service.

  North Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

  Dry forest

  First come, first serve. About 15 sites, close together. 16 USD fee (honor system). Fire pits, picknick tables, bear box (saw black bear cub hanging around one afternoon). Lots of yellowjackets which was an annoyance. Chasm trail starts from camp site with amazing canyon views. Stargazing at night. Water available in summer.

  Monarch Spur RV Park & Campground

  Almost perfect

  I want to say a bit about this campground. It’s the best we’ve stayed at in a long while. A new family just took over and this is their first summer. It has everything. Full hookups to tent camping. Full hookup sites are a bit tight but fine. It’s at over 8000 feet and the views are amazing. We can see snow. They have a nice camp store, WiFi that works, golf cart rental, a playground, kids games, a community area (even host occasional concerts) fishing, and a river running through. On site laundry and very clean bathhouse. It’s near a highway but we never found the road noise a problem. Didn’t even notice except an occasional truck using Jake brakes. It all but stopped at night.

  Owners are super nice and helpful. And we even saw a moose. The stars are amazing here BTW.

  The kids didn’t want to go anywhere they were happy just to hang out here at the campground.

  Sapinero Village Campground

  Great Views of Blue Mesa Lake

  The owners and family are great.  Very friendly, helpful and area information. Seems to be a community stopping place as there are so few places to get supplies.  The campground is very convenient location for the lake and rivers.  Nice service of coffee and a few microwaved food options. It has a nice game room also.  The views are great as the layout of the campground is terraced on a hillside.  The sites are all parallel park so your door can have a view of the lake.  The owner helps you get situated into the spot.  The parking is gravel and level.  But there is not much space between nose to tail other campers.

  Tightwad Stargazer's Delite

  Awesome campground with many primitive sites.  Views amazing.  Highly recommend camping here, as the landscape is more desert and in the forested places misquitoes are TERRIBLE this summer (2023), no misquitoes at turtle rock!  Stargazing is amazing, lots of currant plants,  and NO COST!  Yes!

  Awesome views and spot for SXS riding

  Had a great experience and such a good spot for many, many SXS trails. Bathrooms and showers just a short walk from the campsite were convenient and refreshing. Enjoyed the campfires and beautiful sunrises and sunsets on this spot. Would definitely recommend and come back!
