Stevens Creek Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Stevens Creek Campground lies on the north shore at the eastern end of Blue Mesa Reservoir. This is the closest campground to the town of Gunnison, Colorado. Popular with boaters, Stevens Creek has easy access to the reservoir. It is very sunny and bright, and the scent of sagebrush adds to the camping experience. A bit downstream is the Morrow Point Reservoir and the Crystal Reservoir, both surrounded by the steep cliffs of the Black Canyon. Stand up paddleboarding, fishing, canoeing and other water sports are popular here. Bird watching is rewarding throughout the park but especially so in this shallower end of the reservoir, which is ideal for waterfowl. Hikers can try the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) Neversink Trail, which meanders along the Gunnison River upstream of Blue Mesa Reservoir. The 53-site campground offers waterfront sites and a wide variety of amenities including a picnic area, a self pay station and drinking water available late-May to mid-September. The campground sits at an elevation of 7,540 feet (2298 m) and is characterized by a semi-arid, treeless shrubland. The mesa landscape is covered with sagebrush and receives less than 12 inches (30 cm) of rain each year. Head into Gunnison for a meal, a bit of shopping, or a visit to the local park or museum; the town is known for its western ambiance and small town friendliness. Mountain biking and hiking can be found at Hartman Rocks Trail just south of Gunnison.
