Great campground! Very clean and the hosts where great! They do a wonderful job getting people sites by the water. It's a very fair system. The burros were fun to see, but they will get into anything you leave out. Also if you have pets keep a close eye on them, coyotes got the cat in the site next to me. I loved my stay here and met some very nice people. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Laurie and Dennis! Absolute legends! Beautifully kept grounds, fairness for river front (if one becomes available during your stay) love and protection for the wild burrows. (And education when required) …. Don’t feed. don’t touch. ❤️

A friend loves this place and kept inviting me to camp there. Finally, I went and loved it! It is totally dry camping. This is developed BLM land. Each site is well marked and has a picnic table. The cost is $5 per night or $2.50 per night if you have the senior pass. The camp hosts are wonderful. It’s a very fun place to camp along the Colorado River.

Camp host are super nice. Is clean and kept up. Price right up my alley. Beautiful and right on the Colorado river. There is a vault toilet onsite but no electricity or hookups great for boon docking. Wild burrows will visit your camp but they don’t really bother if no food is left out.

We have been at crossroads campground at least a dozen times. Dennis and Lori the camphost's go out of their job description to make everyone happy with their sites. They keep a list and as river spots open if you want one they move you into those spots. They greet you when entering and confirm the spots available for your size of vehicles. Dennis is a kick, he makes you smile everytime he sees yo... We have been at crossroads campground at least a dozen times.
