Base Camp Family Campground

We arrived late in the day, driving to the site was clearly marked and was easy to get to in the dark. The site was clean and well maintained, it did take a couple of leveling blocks to level is out but overall not too bad. The site has a fire ring, picnic table, and trash can right at the site. All hookups were right next to each other. Power was good (30amp) and an additional 15 amp plug which was perfect for the heated hose without having to use an extension cord. Wifi was good at 2 bars Verizon LTE 4g was also at 2 bars. It did get pretty windy there, but overall we were happy with our stay.

Wifi: Verizon - 41 down, 60 up / ATT - 10 down, 4.5 up...
Noise: Some road noise, but nothing that would wake you up...

We went to Alamosa because we wanted to visit the Great Sand Dunes (please go see them if you haven’t, they’re incredible) and while the San Luis State Wildlife Area had a ton of free camping, there was zero cell reception for ATT or Verizon for us, which just wasnt doable for work. Base Camp Family Campground is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at. It is fairly new, so everything is updated. Our wifi was stellar, the sites are long and spacious, the camp host was warm and welcoming, and Mitch, the owner, was incredibly accommodating when our plans shifted. We ended up staying an extra week because the campground was so nice for us. This is the only campground we have been to where the bathrooms are like the bathrooms in a home - individual and private. If you don't want to shower while hearing your neighbor poop, fear no more! The site we had was fairly level, we had no problem navigating to it (all of the sites are pull throughs), and it was easy to connect to hook ups. The views of the mountains are phenomenal, and it is really easy and direct to get into town. The only downsides are that there is only one washer and dryer for the whole camp (I went in to do laundry at 8am thinking I would be safe and someone already had the washer running! Who is up that early??) and if anything is running water while you are trying to take a shower, it will be lukewarm at best with a trickle of water. But if you have a shower in your RV, there really is no reason to not love Base Camp.

Charles and Marilyn were AMAZING camp hosts! They were always very friendly, helpful, and even brought out glow sticks for the kids! They helped us buy discounted tickets to the Colorado Gator Park (highly recommended stop!), and provided great conversation.

The site was level, and bigger than we expected, about 2 sites away from the bathrooms/showers. Everything was clean and in great condition.

We will definitely be staying here again, and bringing friends!

This is a nice new park with great views and dark skies. We were greeted by the owner when we arrived and given a choice of a couple sites. He is also a wealth of knowledge about the area and restaurants. The sites are huge and owner has plans to add some landscaping- which is all it really needs. Not too much to do at the park, but as the name indicates, it’s a good base camp to hike and fish from, visit the sand dunes!

Basecamp was a much needed relief. We work remotely while traveling which means we need to be connected. This is usually never a problem, but lately the networks seem to be super bogged down so we needed to find a place we weren't fighting 1 million other tourists for connectivity.
Fortunately, the wifi is the BEST we've ever experienced at an RV park. I don't usually ever even try to connect to an RV parks wifi, but this one, this one actually worked and worked well!
The spots are GIANT. I was shocked at all of the space we had in our spot.
The numbers a lit up so you can see which spot is yours at night. Great touch!
The park was clean, SUPER well managed, and we just had a great experience.
If we are ever in the Alamosa area again, we will definitely stop for a few days.
Bonus, it's right next to a Verizon tower, so even if you don't use the park wifi, you'll be connected if you have Verizon.
