I have been to Blue Mesa many times, usually for 3-4 days. This summer I would like to stay longer, maybe a week, but we do not want to go a week without a shower. We do not have an RV, so that leaves us with getting a cabin or using a shower somewhere.

We like to camp on the lake, so getting a cabin for a night means we would have to pull up camp and put the boat on the trailer for a night. I see that the Curecanti website says they have showers at Elk Creek and Lake Fork campgrounds. My wife is a bit freaked out about what a public Curecanti shower will look like.

My questions are… Has anyone used the Elk Creek campground showers? If so, how are they, especially the women’s shower? Are they clean? Are they dark? Are there stalls or is it just one big happy family? Are they walking distance from the shore if we beach the boat and walk to the showers? Anything else worth knowing?

Thanks,
RD

That is what I was afraid of. No way my wife would go in something like that. I guess we are pulling camp, loading the boat, and getting a room/cabin somewhere.

Thanks for the info...

Thanks gents. I am planning a 4-day trip with "the guys" first of June. We can go 4 days without a shower. But the week long trip will be the first of August. If anyone can post an update before then, that would be great. If not, we will check out the showers then when get there and make a decision then.

And thanks for the recommendation on the KOA. If we do pull camp, it will be something close by like that. Might even splurge and get a cabin at the Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch.

By the way... Does anyone know if you can tie up your boat at the Elk Creek dock while you eat at the restaurant?
