Nestled within the breathtaking Curecanti National Recreation Area, Elk Creek Marina and Blue Mesa Adventure Pods at Elk Creek Campground are enveloped by some of the most awe-inspiring Rocky Mountain scenery imaginable. While the reservoir may take center stage, our surroundings offer an abundance of exploration opportunities.

 

To the west lies the majestic Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, while the imposing West Elk Mountains loom to the north and the scenic San Juan Mountains grace the southern horizon. Everywhere in between, there's a wealth of natural splendor waiting to be discovered. Our strategic location serves as the ideal starting point for immersing oneself in the charm of our mountains and valleys.
