Elk Creek Campground is located 16 miles west of Gunnison at mile marker 142 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 Elk Creek, but note that there are very few sites with trees. This is the only campground with electricity (Loop D only) at Curecanti. Reservations are strongly recommended for Loops A and D in the summer months. First-come, first-served sites are usually available, but may be hard to find on summer holiday weekends.
Campers using the walk-in tent sites are allowed one vehicle (no RV parking for walk-in tent sites). All other campsites are allowed two primary recreational camping units per site (car, pickup, motorhome, pop-up trailer, in which people are sleeping). If space allows, the following may also be at the site: tents, boat trailer, and vehicles not used for sleeping. Overnight parking is not available at the Elk Creek Visitor Center.
Elk Creek is located off of US Hwy 50 between Gunnison and Montrose, along Blue Mesa reservoir.
There is an additional $6 electricity attribute fee for Standard Electric sites.
