Aspen Glade (Rio Grande National Forest, CO)

A very nice campground, well set up, close to the river. Very clean campsites. All in all, a gem, but what made it memorable was meeting Mike, the camp host. When I first pulled in, I didn't see any open sites by the river and when I pulled up the hill, I met Mike.

Very clean campsites. All in all, a gem, but what made it memorable was meeting Mike, the camp host. When I first pulled in, I didn't see any open sites by the river and when I pulled up the hill, I met Mike. He explained there were no open sites left, but after chatting for awhile, he told me he was going to let me have one that had been previously reserved, but the folks had left a day early and since I was only there for one night, he would let me have the spot and on top of that, not charge me for the site, since the folks that left had already paid for it and wanted it to go to someone who could use it. Mike, I really appreciate your kind gesture and your friendly attitude. We need more folks like you!

This is a dry camp site with large trailer or RV access. The access road is an easy well maintained dirt road. The river is accessible to many spots but there are some spots that are on the opposite side. There are plenty of tall trees providing shade and keeping the area cool from the hot sun. The sites were pristine and the restrooms were clean and plenty of toilet paper. There is a lot of priva... This is a dry camp site with large trailer or RV access.

There is a lot of privacy and the sites are spaced far apart. We will be back!

Just finished a 5 day stay at Aspen Glade. I believe this campground is one of the nicest spots along the Conejoes River in this area. More ponderosa pines than many of the other campgrounds. Very nice, level sites. Clean vault toilets. The camp hosts are great. Mike is a character and what I like to call, casually professional, with a good sense of humor. Both excellent attributes to ensure you... Just finished a 5 day stay at Aspen Glade. I believe this campground is one of the nicest spots along the Conejoes River in this area.

Mike is a character and what I like to call, casually professional, with a good sense of humor. Both excellent attributes to ensure your stay is a success. The only downside was the fishing. Unfortunately the river was high and muddy so even trying every day I failed to get a single strike. No one else fishing had any better luck so disappointed at such a bust. The saving grace was the beautiful location making it all worthwhile.
