About Base Camp Family Campground
The Norris family owns and manages Base Camp Family Campground. Kevin and Mitch Norris came to Southern Colorado for the first time in the early 1980s to climb Blanca with some friends. Since then, they have been spending their vacations there. In 2016, they moved to this area after purchasing the Base Camp Family Campground ranch property. They're putting everything they've learned from years of RVing to help the park be a central base camp and information center for everything this unique area has to offer, as well as a clean, affordable, spacious, well-run camping facility. When you first enter the valley, you might feel it: this is a unique place like no other. In the gloom of 14, 000 feet, you'll camp on sacred Native American land. Free-flowing artesian wells, hot springs, and wet lands dot the world's largest high-desert alpine valley's mountain peaks. Aquifers, which are continually replenished by the snow that melts from the mountains surrounding it, pump water up through the desert floor.
