We only spent one night there but the location was perfect for our trip and very convenient to launch from the next day for our exploration of Taos. The site we stayed at had electric and water. It was not very level but we had no trouble getting our van leveled quickly. The staff was courteous and helpful and the bathrooms were VERY well maintained. The only negative comment is that they charge a premium price, which is understandable based on the location. But they also come by and read the meter for electrical use and bill you for that too. It was only a small extra charge for us after one night, less than 25 cents, but based on the nightly price, I feel like that should be included.

We really enjoyed our stay at Copper Breaks State Park! The campsite was level and had 30/50 amp service with water hookups. The also had dump stations. The is a small lake in the park with boating and swimming areas. The had numerous trails. In the height of summer it is very hot so be prepared if you hike any of the trails. They also had an equestrian area. This park is in a dark sky designated area so the view if the night sky is spectacular! The restrooms/showers are very basic and about average for the Texas state parks that I have stayed at.

I really liked the shelters that they built at each of the sites in the Comanche camping area. They are built for maximum shade but with plenty of airflow for cooling. They also look kind of cool. We saw a lot of wildlife (birds and small mammals) in the area.

They have a great staff that is friendly and always accessible! We have a back-in site but they have pull throughs also. There is a playground for the kids, laundry, and bathrooms with showers. They allow fires and provide a “fire pit” that is constructed from an old washer tub with legs welded on. Just ask for one at the front desk. They also sell firewood for the fire. Oh, and they come by and pick up your trash at your site between 9-5 each day just leave your bag out by the road. There are full hookups at most of the sites. The area is in walking distance of the Gunnison River and there is a nice hiking trail on the south side of the river heading west. There is also a bike path that goes back into town and up the road toward Crested Butte. On the main road (intersection of CR11 and highway 135) there is a bus stop for a free bus trip into Gunnison. The men’s bathroom had a couple of issues, the overhead light didn’t work very well and one of the toilets was malfunctioning but they got those fixed pretty quickly. There is a nice combination of shade (from the trees) and sun at all the sites.

We stayed in Bastorp state park in our little teardrop trailer. The folks at the check-in point were very friendly and helpful. The campsite we had full hookups and was well shaded. We spent two days there and took several long hikes. We really enjoyed the changes in elevation, terrain and views. The have numerous CCC buildings around the park and several in out of the way places along the trails. We really enjoyed our stay.
