About Basecamp Palisade RV Resort

Campground in Colorado.

Nestled in the scenic Grand Valley region of western Colorado, Basecamp Palisade RV Resort offers travelers an ideal base camp for exploring one of America's most captivating landscapes. Located at 985 North River Road in Palisade, this RV resort sits at the gateway to some of Colorado's most stunning natural attractions and outdoor recreation opportunities.

Palisade itself is a charming small town known for its vibrant fruit and wine heritage. The area has earned recognition as a premier wine destination, with numerous local vineyards and tasting rooms welcoming visitors throughout the year. Beyond wine, the region is famous for its dramatic geological formations, colorful cliffs, and world-class outdoor recreation that draws adventurers from across the country.

The location puts you within easy reach of Colorado National Monument, a spectacular park featuring towering sandstone cliffs, scenic drives, and hiking trails that range from easy walks to challenging backcountry adventures. The monument's colorful rock formations create unforgettable views, especially during sunrise and sunset. For those interested in water activities, the Colorado River runs nearby, offering opportunities for fishing, rafting, and scenic float trips. Mountain biking enthusiasts flock to the area for the excellent trail systems that wind through the valley and surrounding mesas.

Art and culture thrive in this region as well. Palisade hosts seasonal farmers markets, local galleries, and community events that celebrate the area's agricultural heritage. The Grand Valley's proximity to Fruita and the greater Uncompahgre Valley means you're positioned near multiple towns worth exploring, each with their own character and attractions.

The surrounding landscape delivers year-round appeal. Spring brings wildflower blooms, summer offers warm days perfect for outdoor exploration, fall showcases dramatic color changes in the vegetation and cliffs, and winter provides mild conditions compared to higher elevations. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, wine country exploration, or natural beauty, Palisade's central location makes it an excellent jumping-off point for creating your perfect Colorado getaway.

A great experience through and through. I reached out to Palisade Basecamp requesting to be put on their waitlist for a camping cabin the weekend of the Colorado Wine Festival. I knew it was a long shot but they obliged, and a week out from the Festival received a call for an opening! It was perfect. The camping cabin is just what I needed for my dog to stay in during the Festival and great matt... A great experience through and through.

The camping cabin is just what I needed for my dog to stay in during the Festival and great mattresses for two nights of sleep. The shower house is IMMACULATE. You can tell the cleaning crew took pride in their work. I also loved the little canteen and bought some local palisade peach Kombucha. The location was a quick uber to the Festival park location and also walking distance to a winery next door!

When I say this place is worth EVERY dollar? I mean it! The workers are always present cleaning the facilities and property. They took our garbage for us, they were vacuuming the sidewalks for goodness sakes. I can’t put in words the amount of professionalism, cleanliness, and dedication this place has. Then the views on top of it?!? Mind blowing. 10/10 5 stars all around Thank you Base Camp!!!! *Don and Kaitlin*

Best RV park in Rocky mountains. Staff: friendly and helpful in setting up RV, hooking up, guiding nearby visits and eating places. Location: Beautiful silent gem with backdrop of river and three sides of mountain. RV park: Got all essentials with good mix of green grass and stones. Overall creates a positive vibe. WiFi is good enough for day work. The family restrooms are huge and feel like home.... Best RV park in Rocky mountains.

My girlfriends and I stayed in a cabin for the bluegrass festival. It was very nice! The cabin was clean and smelled super fresh. The beds were very comfy. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning, and the pool was nice. We will be back. Highly recommend!
