Great location and staff, but …
Truly an amazing Oasis right across from Blue Mesa Reservoir. Super friendly staff and guests/residents.
This was the perfect spot for the Fourth of July to get away from everything and just be. The grounds hosted a hotdog/burger burn on the 4th, and an ice cream social on the 5th. They followed that up with pancakes of the sixth.
After checking in, the staff showed us to our spot — more than the traditional “here’s your spot on the map … good luck.” The sites are well maintained. They’re pretty close to your neighbors, so keep that in mind.
The only drawback we had was the bathroom/shower facility for those who aren’t in campers/travel trailers. They have one men’s facility with one door, one toilet, one shower and one lock. Same for the ladies. In short, this is a first-come, first-served situation, so be prepared for a potential wait.
Overall, this spot was perfect for what we wanted. Easy access to the reservoir, Gunnison, Black Canyon (if the bridge is open due to construction) and other neat off-the-beaten-path getaways. I highly recommend Oasis.
