Base Camp Family Campground

We were passing through Alamosa on our way to Cortez Co and found this place on Campendium. It’s a new RVpark with only 13 sites but it looks like they are planning more. The sites are so big they accommodate a big rig with no problem. The sites are gravel but fairly level. They hav full hookups as well as picnic tables and fire pit. The park has showers and laundry but we didn’t need these but the area looked clean. After unhooking from our 5th wheel we went to dinner in Alamosa the downtown area has several restaurants and breweries. The park is only a few miles from The Great Sand Dune National Park. Check was online and we received emails and text about our reservation. Everything was very easy. We were able to get a Senior discount. Also there new sign was up. Definitely would stay here again.

7th night was free.

Overall: Happy with our stay and would stay again.

Check-In: Easy and convenient. Done ahead of time via text/email. Knew where to go and all of the details needed.
Friendliness: All of the hosts were very friendly!
Store: No store or office. The on-call hosts help when needed.
Site: Spacious, large sites. Fairly level. All Gravel/Sand mix. Some grass (desert). Unpaved.

Propane: No
Ice: No

We stayed at Base Camp Family RV Park on 5/31/2021 in site 11 on our way up to Lake City, Co, and then again on our way back home to Texas in site 1 on 6/17/2021. The sites are level, clean, very very large, plenty of room for both travel trailer and truck. Each site has a picnic table. They are pet friendly, easy access from the highway, full sun (no trees to speak of), and all sand/gravel. We had no trouble at all with the water, sewer, or electricity working. Our rate of $46.12 included a Good Sam discount. We were very impressed that it appeared everyone cleaned up after their dogs, as they should be. That was so nice, as we've been in parks where this just wasn't the case and it's gross. I couldn't find an office or store, but there is a sign showing where the camp hosts park. All communication and payments are contactless. The laundry/bathhouse looked beautiful although we didn't use them. The only bad thing we experienced was a dog barking all night long the first night we were there. It was cool enough to have windows open, and it appeared that the dog was not on RV park property. We think it was a dog at the house adjacent to the property. Same dog barked part of the time at our second time to stay there on 6/07/21, but our windows were closed with A/C running that night, so we didn't hear it as bad.

My husband and I loved our stay here. The site was big enough for our 33ft trailer and two trucks. The sites are not only long, they are nice and wide. You get beautiful views of Mount Blanca and the location is in the middle of everything you might need or want to do.

Check in is hands off and I like that you can just pull into your site when you arrive. We snagged a last minute cancellation.

The wifi is fast!

We stayed here 2 separate nights on a weeklong road trip in the area late May 2021. The reservation by phone both times was handled by a very pleasant efficient person. We received texts and emails to confirm the stay, within which were detailed instructions on accessing the full hookup site and the services. WiFi was strong, and the bath house is one of the best ever. Heated, individual bathrooms for exceptional privacy. Clean, gravel level pads which are VERY big. Aside for the WIND (thank you Momma Nature) this is an awesome camp ground. some road noise, but gets quiet during night.

It was close enough to Alamosa so as to make quick runs not that big of a deal, but was also close to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Bath house and laundry were very, very clean and camp host was awesome. We loved everything but the negative temperatures at night and sometimes strong winds.

The rate we got was the winter rate and includes GoodSam discount. Great price for full hookups and facilities.

Small and new RV park. There’s not much too it. Pretty no frills but well maintained.
The pros are:
The sites are huge! You could easily fit the biggest rig ever and still have room to park additional cars.

As mentioned by others the baths are nice and private.

The mountain views are pretty. With some good sunsets!

Solid WiFi. We were streaming no problem

The only con is lots of highway noise so if you can pick a site furthest from the highway.

And you really are in the middle of nowhere but outside of staying in the national park—I’d say this is closest and nicest.
