Several times on the drive to the campground we found ourselves asking why we have never turned off onto Gunnison Co Rd 721 and explored the area just north of Colorado's largest lake, Blue Mesa Reservoir. Ponderosa Campground is located on the northern edge of the Curecanti National Recreation Area and has campsites in 3 loops at different elevations. The top loop, with 7 sites, has a horse corral in the center. The middle loop has the most campsites, including some walk-in tent sites near the water. The lower loop is near the boat ramp and has 5 sites, including 3 walk-in tent sites. All have great views of the cliffs near the Dillon Pinnacles.
