We stayed one night at this campground and enjoyed our stay. It did rain a lot for about an hour around 5pm but it was beautiful, calming & our tent held up!
We pitched our tent to the front of the parking spot on campsite #10. It was a bit bumpy and uneven as we don’t have foam pads or an air mattress but I slept fine. Though, my partner did mention that he felt like he was at a slope, unfortunately.
There was no “beach” but still some room to put a few chairs and be by the river. Luckily we didn’t have any trouble with mosquitoes but I did bring spray as well as lavender oil just in case.
The water levels are very low sadly but my partner still tried his hand at fishing.
The picnic table is in the sun, so I definitely recommend bringing some shade coverage.
I chose this spot as a back up but one of the main reasons I chose this side of CO is bc there are a lot of trees/foliage that offer shade for the hot summer days! We put our chairs under a big ponderosa 🌲.
The fire pit/ grill is really impressive but is awfully close to some bushes so keep that in mind.
They do have toilets but they don’t seem to be cleaned often enough. The smell was too unbearable for me so we drove to Gunnison so I could use their toilet 🤣😅. Oh well 🤷🏽♀️
Overall was a successful trip as it was a first come, first serve basis! It was chilly and windy and did lightly rain, again, at night but our cheap 30•f sleeping bags were enough (course I had a long sleeve, hoodie, sweats and thick socks as well 🙂).
