We budget $400 per month for dining out and $300 for groceries. Itâs just two of us, though we have dinner guests at least once a week. Iâm an econo-tarian and buy whatever is on sale or have a coupon (coupon food is pretty much junk food).
Elk Creek Campground. Elk Creek Campground is located 16 miles west of Gunnison on U.S. Highway 50 on the shore of Blue Mesa Reservoir. All types of camping from tents to large RVs can be accommodated at Elk Creek, but note that there are very few sites with trees. This is the only campground with electricity (Loop D only) at Curecanti.
(Deep Creek State Recreation Area) Park: Deep Creek Beach and Campground is located at mile 137.3 of the Sterling Hwy. It has a day use facility and camp sites. The halibut in Cook Inlet and king salmon runs at Deep Creek are legendary, making the campsites in the park very much in demand. Bald eagles are visible year-round.
