This campground and boat launch is located between the Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway (CO145) and the San Miguel River. The canyon in this area makes the transition from forest to high desert and is quite scenic. The campground has three developed campsites, one with a cabana. Four parking areas will accommodate large RVs and boat trailer parking. There is a toilet but no drinking water. There is a hand-carry boat launch. For more information, please contact the Uncompahgre Field Office.
From Placerville (Jct. CO 145 & CO 62), go west on CO 145 1.8 miles. Entrance is on the left (south). From Norwood, go east on CO 145 about 16.5 miles. Entrance is on the right (south).
No Fee
Concrete picnic tables, fire pits, beautiful San Miguel River dirty from recent rain.
PLEASE sign in so BLM can see real usage and keep stocked/repaired appropriately.
2 shaded tent campsites, 2 no real shade sites that were big enough for our 20 foot trailer. Gravel parking lot can fit many larger rigs, road noise during the day. Cool river breeze really takes the stink off the heat, which is nice. Water is perfect temp to cool down in the summer. Not crowded, can fish in the river, beautiful scenery along the highway to get here. Fire rings. Happy to see the area was really clean, no trash really. Bathrooms were ok. Had 2 to 3 bars with Mint Mobile and LTE internet. Best of all, free.
