Alvarado Campground

A great place for those who love to hick, or just to enjoy the Wet Mountains. Spaces are large. Bathrooms were clean. Host was very friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were reasonable. Clean water available. Campground was clean and well maintained.

Nice quiet campground with a camp host and decent sites. There's a creek through a few sites and an equestrian loop as well. Nestled in the pine and Aspen at the base of the sangre de christo mountains. A couple of trailheads are next to the campground. We were here for memorial Day and the trails still had snow near the top.

This tiered campground is essentially built into the hill. It is well laid out and makes use of the space properly. You can enjoy a neighbor or find separation. It's situated at the base of a great trail head so you can come and go into the wilderness as you please. We picnic there and friends have stayed occasionally in the camp. We all enjoyed it. Never had any trouble with others.

There are no showers, no water hookups and you’re informed you cannot wash your dishes or yourself at their campsites . No shade near parking and are not allowed to set up a shade tarp, camp host will put a note to put it all in your campsite after she’s rifled through your belongings and leaves things open for you. The note says it’s not a camp spot , well we were not camping under a tarp in bear country with fifty degree evenings. No one was camped at any of the tent spots near us. We parked in a single spot and were made to feel completely unwelcome. This may be my last trip to Colorado for camping. For the money people pay to travel and then to pay ridiculous fees for no amenities and they have one trash on the far side of the park so everything you do you have to trek for it. I would

The lady camp host kicked us out of our spot after one day because she claimed our unit was too big for the campsite. This was about three hours after setting up camp at a site that she had recommended we stay at. She said, “my husband doesn’t agree with me, but you guys gotta go.” Hopefully the not smart lady camp host doesn’t come back next year because she is really bad at her job. Other than that it’s a nice place.
