Awesome place to camp! It was pretty quiet except for truck noise from the highway at times. We had a spot right by the river (#7). The water was only about 4ft deep and there was a sandbar you could walk out to. We saw a lot of wildlife; wild horse, lizards, skunk. Watch out for the fire ants especially if you have a dog! $15 per night. Camped on a Thursday in May, not crowded, lots of sites to choose from. Helpful & nice rangers! Very clean latrine that smelled like vanilla. Drinking water available.
Great site by the muddy Colorado. Watch rafters organize and launch.
Clean privies, water, and ancient petroglyphs. Highway is a good distance from the under 21’ sites.
An excellent camp ground. Toilets were clean, and stocked. Trash receptacles were emptied while we were there. Camp grounds fit all 25 of us easily. Right next to the water and within 30 minute drive of a number of great hikes. Can't wait to go back.
Great camp spot on our way from CO to AZ. Clean, quiet, and well maintained. Great option for first come first serve camping. Picnic table, fire ring, and grate at each spot. We luckily did find a site that was perfectly wide to camp with our roof top tent.
With only 23 campsites divided between 2 loops, how can you not feel your blood pressure go down. Some sites are more secluded than others. I have a very short walk to the river in campsite 17. Close enough but not that close to attack the serious river bank bugs. Campsite is very spacious. For senior price of 7.50$, can't go wrong. There is some road noise but who cares. Bring your own water just in case. Or, maybe your a rockhounder!
