Customer Reviews
This is the most beautiful campground I've ever been to! The downsides: no hookups (bring your own water and power) and no trash pickup (pack it in, pack it out). But the views are incredible, the sites are well-designed, and it's right on the Arkansas River, next to Brown's Canyon.
No hookups, no trash service (vault toilets available). It's a bit tight getting in, but I saw trucks with fifth wheels and trailers manage. Beautifully quiet, yet close to groceries, restaurants, and hot springs. I love how the sites are terraced and separated by boulders. Plan ahead and be prepared!
Absolutely beautiful! No hookups, but that's part of its charm. All you hear is the river, birds, and owls. Site 1307 is amazing, facing the river with unobstructed views. Each spot has separate picnic/fire pit areas and a tent pad. Every site is gorgeous. The one-lane entrance road is a little tricky, so drive slow and honk your horn.
Great campground! The bugs were overwhelming (especially the flies at night). It was unbearable to be outside. Like a scene from a movie! Maybe it was just the season (lots of rain), but it's worth considering another area if you want to be out at night or are afraid of bugs.
Great access to fishing in the Arkansas River. Primitive restrooms (no running water). Great trails and wildlife viewing. Hiking and amazing mountain views. Reasonable prices. Plenty of space for families. Highly recommend!
