There are eleven different campgrounds to choose from in Curecanti. There are several more campsites that are accessible by boat. Savor the scents of ponderosa pine, sage, and phlox in bloom, listen to the sound of the wind sweeping over Blue Mesa and nighthawks diving in the twilight, view the scenic mesas, buttes, and night skies filled with stars, feel the cool water of Blue Mesa and the sun-warmed stone, and taste your recent catch of kokanee salmon or lake trout.

No food is available in Curecanti.

Lodging and food are available in the nearby communities of Montrose and Gunnison:
