Chapman Campground

Scenic campground by Frying Pan River, with a stunning drive from Basalt past the Ruedi Reservoir on good roads. Most sites are private, near the river, and feature flat gravel pads, though a large rock separates the camper and picnic table/fire pit area. Bathrooms are clean, and potable water is available. Our starlink worked great! No interaction with the host, as we weren’t sure of the process...

First trip in our new Leisure Travel Van was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Stunning drive up to this campground! You lose cell service about 50 mins out but the gorgeous drive makes up for it. Winding through mountains and passing Reudi Reservoir really make it special. The campground itself was quiet and beautiful with its own small reservoir that we caught a lot of fish in and did some kayaking.

The campground itself was quiet and beautiful with its own small reservoir that we caught a lot of fish in and did some kayaking. Many of the sites are out in the open with little shade, but there are a few in loop F that are set back in the aspens that are more private. We were in one of those and had deer passing behind us on multiple occasions! The bathrooms were also truly the cleanest I have ever seen at a campsite, and I've been to a lot of them. Highly recommend!

Looking for beautiful views, or peaceful sounds of river to help you relieve the stress? Dozens of “back country” sites I’ve visited and Chapman easily places in the Top 3. We went during the week. Monday thru Thursday. Active but not to active. Quite enough to have your peace. Sites spread far enough apart you aren’t sitting on top of your neighbors. Scenery, off road trails, hiking, big Reservoir, plenty of river spots for kids to play. Ample fishing on the Frying Pan river. This place has it all. Also- cleanest vault bathrooms you’ve ever seen. And great hosts. Recommend 5 out 5.
