We stopped for a night on our way from Denver to Utah. Close to highway, easy pull through spots. No water on campsite in December, but drinking water available at dump station. Nice playground.

We’ve spent 2025 visiting all 48 lower states in our 5th wheel. Colorado is state 47 of 48 and the campsites and amenities at James Robb State Park are probably the best we’ve seen. Beautiful well maintained and spaced sites on the Colorado River near the Colorado National Monument and Grand Junction Colorado. Highly recommended (November 2025).

It's visually pretty here despite being right in town. Beware, there is a train that runs very close! It sounds like it's running thru camp and it does run over night. I think that was the biggest draw back. There are 2 lakes. We paddleboarded on one of them a few times and it was not crowded. We weren't here on a weekend tho.

We weren't here on a weekend tho. The sites are nice and have full hookup. There are people maintaining the park regularly. We saw a guy walking around the lake picking up trash. The town is close so you can get anything you need. The cell service here is excellent. Despite people coming and going it's fairly quiet, except for time loud train and some road noise. The view of time Monument from the lake is beautiful. We did see some people fishing.
