Mosca Campground, Colorado

  We've camped here since our now 40ish childrlen were young. They are now taking their children there. Mosca is beautiful both to the eye and the heart. It is a little more difficult now that there is no potable water, but one can use lake water for dishes, and must bring in drinking and cooking water.Fishing is great - the deer put on a show eve4ry night. The camp hostess, Mary, is there is to help you with problems, and to give great advice.Other than the water problem, this is the greatest camp ground I've ever occupied! Says Judith Reece

    Don't miss out on a visit to Curecanti National Recreation Area while you're here at Mosca Campground; needless to say Rocky Brook is a pretty stream that is worth checking out. This campground is a great location to take a look at. Going for a hike along the Granite Basin Trail
will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region, and close by you locate splendid locations like Buck Gulch. Whohoo, so many entertaining things in one place! Mosca Campground is excellent!
