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.

Good campsite good, very nice to drive into, like water is nice is good to drink not so don’t do it, everything else is very okay, I don’t care very much about it. I made beans and eggs and rice and a killed a toad and for breakfast I ate the things I made and didn’t eat the floor. I like the semicolon character, it looks like this ; . Z. I like grass as well and don’t like the river anymore, it doesn’t taste good or like cotton candy. Which tastes good. Because it has good tasing things in it, but not the river and I liked the frog I saw, and food that I made, (like the beans) and goodbye

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!
