Sweet spot to camp down by the Colorado river. There is a restroom and several campsites right on the rivers edge. All the campsites have nice tree cover and a decent spot to pitch a tent This free campsite is easy to get to from I-70 and is very beautiful. Plenty of parking
Super clean and beautiful place they welcome America the beautiful pass holders with a discount. There were many parties going on so it wasn't the quietest place to camp , many campers were ignoring the fire ban restrictions.
My family and I recently camped here and it was wonderful, lots of campsites right next to the Colorado River. I recommend to get there early they fill up quick. Beware of the mountain lions they come down to the river at night. Not too many options for big Campers or RV trailers but lots of campsites for tents. Easy to get to from I-70. Right now there is a fire restriction so try to bring your own propane stoves for backup.
We tried to camp here in September 2021. There is about eight campsites right next to the Colorado River. We recommend you to get there early they fill up quick. As in when we arrived about 7pm all the campsites were occupied and we had to go elsewhere. Too bad! it is a very good campground and FREE!
Nice river access and boat launch. There is a small restroom here and a decent amount of parking.
