Welcome to Blue Mesa Outpost, overlooking the largest body of water in Colorado!

The wildfires in Montrose County and surrounding areas ARE NOT affecting Blue Mesa Outpost, which is in Gunnison County and not part of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Montrose County. Authorities’ slow response with few resources is indicative of their low priority to contain the fires versus treating them as a controlled burn. Blue Mesa Outpost is open, filled with guests, and operating normally with zero impact from the fires far away.

Each of our accommodations envelope you with gorgeous views of Blue Mesa Reservoir and the surrounding Rocky Mountains of Gunnison, Colorado. 10 of our RV sites are pull through and face the reservoir or mesa. They’re 25 feet wide, ranging in length from 75 to 80 feet. Our four to six person, one bedroom cabins, and tent sites, each overlook the reservoir.

The reservoir boasts some of the best trout and salmon fishing in Colorado, and Blue Mesa Outpost is located just one mile from boat ramps. We’re at 940 Cove Road, Gunnison, Colorado 81230. That’s just 25 miles west of downtown Gunnison, and 35 miles east of Montrose. We’re off Highway 50, between mile markers 131 and 132.
