Best Campgrounds near Delta, CO

Pretty spot with stream water right behind the sites. You have to drive over a stream when you come in but it was easily crossed when we visited. We enjoyed the trail near by and we were the only ones here while camping over night, occasionally some atv trails were used near by. Vaulted toilets as well. Absolutely no service bc it’s the middle of the woods.

Made the mistake of coming out as it got dark. Found a fire ring and campsite but pretty sure I'm not on the right trail. Stressful as he'll. Tbis is a trail for serious kff reading and I'm a little concerned about even being able to get out in the morning

27 April 2025.  Looked nice though.

This site is well trafficked but cozy with great views. There were people traveling down the dirt road in the late evening in vehicles and sport vehicles but they were quiet. I think this might be a local hangout area but the site I stayed at was clean and mostly quiet.

Pros: Beautiful location next to the Fort Umcompahgre River with easy access to trails for biking. The sites and grounds are well maintained and large. Bathrooms are updated with hot showers.

Cons: Despite previous reviews(outdated), we did not find the hosts accommodating or friendly. There is no room for even a slight early or late check-in, etc. Stuffy environment.

Takeaway: This is not the park for families with children or groups with friends who may want to sit around the fire and laugh out loud. Also, not for those who may need flexibility in their travel plans. Great for a couples retreat.

This RV park is close to a bowling alley and several restaurants. It's great for a quick stay. There does appear to be many long-term residents, but they are separate from the retro campers. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.

This is a nice spot. Even better since the campgrounds inside the park are currently closed. But the access is bumpy. Looks like a muddy road with deep mud tracks dried up and it’s difficult to navigate. We have a travato and bounced all over but we could make it and find a level spot.

Loved this place!!! Very clean, friendly and have huge sites. Looks fairly new. It’s close to everything including sites. The mountains are beautiful. Night sky was jaw dropping. The resort was very quiet which was SO nice and relaxing. We didn’t use any amenities but I have no doubt they would be flawless. Grand Junction is worth a 2 night stay it has some incredible things to see. Good restaurants and we had perfect weather. It’s very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too. Grand Junction itself is very pet friendly.

Got to the campground pretty late on a road trip. Planned to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP in the morning. We were surprised to find that the campground was right off the main road, 1 mile from the entrance to the park. Could not have been more convenient. We pulled in and noticed that the roads into the campground were rugged and muddy so we opted for the first site on the right of the entrance to avoid trouble. That road goes really far down so it would be easy if you don't have a high clearance vehicle. There was one other camper in the spot right next to us so I think they had the same idea. Really nice trees for privacy, our site had a stone fire ring which was nice. In the morning we saw bunnies and a deer carcus so wild life present. There is a store that sells firewood 4 miles before you get here at the intersection. Last chance to get wood but was closed when we got there at 8pm. A ranger came by in the morning, doing rounds so it felt really safe. Would highly recommend.

This park has been open since 2022. Very nice. Private bathrooms/showers are very clean. Nice community room. They also have Airstream rentals. Location is good. Very quiet. A $12 Uber ride to historic district.

Will stay here again if in the area.

Really nice forest sites on BLM land very close to Black Canyon NP. Roads are very rutted, particularly the one straight in. I opted for the road off to the right as you pull in. Easy to navigate in my Outback but would use caution if muddy or heavy rain forecast. There were signs of a vehicle that needed to be pulled out at my site. Very quiet, very wooded. Quite a few deer bones around, so definitely predators in the area.

A little windy and some small presence of trash but overall a very beautiful place! Accessable with 2wd Sedan

We had an awesome stay when we were going through to Utah. The place is immaculate and the owner and ladies in the office were awesome! They were very helpful! We would love to stay here again on our way through.

This is our 2nd stay at this lovely resort and we absolutely love it. Large, spacious and very clean sites. Bathrooms/showers are large private and super clean also. Tons or amenities and very friendly staff. This is the perfect landing spot to explore everything West Colorado has to offer and even venture into East Utah with a short drive. Highly recommend!

Close to Montrose. Lots of space not totally flat. Decently clean pit toilet. Can tell the locals use it a lot for OHV, dog walking etc. some use at night. No place to pay.

We enjoyed the campgrounds all to ourselves. Was quiet and snow all around, stayed near the entrance since we are solo and aren’t sure of the trails under the snow

Pulled in on a Sunday and noticed a lot of weekend traffic pulling out. Recommend going during the week if you are looking for privacy. Great spots to dry camp. Close to plenty of fishing and hiking. The bugs are intense during the warmer months

A clean and quiet place. We stayed overnight and will stay again. The facilities were great

Day use area only. Signs say NO CAMPING.

Lost Lake Campground near Crested Butte, Colorado, is a hidden gem that combines serene alpine beauty with a peaceful camping experience. Tucked away in the Gunnison National Forest, this campground offers stunning views of wildflower-filled meadows, dense forests, and the pristine Lost Lake itself, which mirrors the surrounding peaks.

The campsites are well-maintained, spacious, and thoughtfully spaced for privacy, with some offering lakefront views. There’s a charming rustic vibe, with basic amenities like vault toilets and picnic tables, but no hookups. The nearby trails, including the popular Three Lakes Loop, are perfect for hiking, fishing, and soaking in the mountain scenery.

Be aware that the road to the campground is a bit rough and narrow, so it’s best suited for smaller campers or tents. Also, temperatures can drop quickly at night, so pack warm gear even in summer.

If you’re looking for a quiet retreat near Crested Butte with postcard-worthy scenery, Lost Lake Campground is hard to beat. It’s the perfect blend of solitude, recreation, and breathtaking views.
