About this campground

Stevens Creek Campground is located 12 miles west of Gunnison on U.S. Highway 50 on the shore of Blue Mesa Reservoir. All types of camping from tents to large RVs can be accommodated at Stevens Creek. 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, CO. 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. The 53-site campground offers waterfront-sites and a wide variety of amenities including a picnic area, self pay station and drinking water available late-May to mid-September.

What campers say

Stevens Creek Campground offers scenic lakeside camping with good fishing and a boat ramp, well-spaced, level sites, and generally clean pit toilets. It’s a basic, affordable spot suited to self-contained campers and boondocking — expect few services and limited water faucets. The setting is beautiful, but afternoons can be windy and water levels or algae conditions may vary seasonally, so use caution with swimming or fish cleaning. Sites sit fairly close to Highway 50, which can bring road noise. Many visitors appreciate the friendly host and maintenance, making it a practical stop for overnight or short stays.
