Definitely a gem

This is a great canyon to camp in with Grand Junction just a short drive away. Some spots are best reached with a AWD or 4WD vehicle, and the road is right there. We were a bit worried about the noise the first day but it wasn't bad. STUNNING views, sites are nice and spread…definitely a winner. The video featured is from the creek just 5 mins down the road.

Easy to find, plenty of spots

Beautiful view of valley. Some road noise but bearable. Plenty of spaces to choose from.

Many spots, good ones go fast

came late at night, 10pm, was able to find a spot

drove a high clearance 4x4 and the spot I was in needed AWD at minimum, sedans will get banged up
spot was decent but awful leveling

plenty of rocks to level 4x4 with RTT but still slept angled
very quiet even though close to the road and few cars/vehicles at night

would recommend coming before nightfall, site is much larger than I thought during the day
cell service spotty but serviceable

Not the best spot I’ve ever had but will do when you need a place to sleep

Awesome view

We arrived late which made the sites/pull offs hard to identify. You can hear passing trucks off 141 now and then but it’s nothing obnoxious. Woke up to see the spectacular views.

Perfectly dispersed

Amazing place to spend the night just off the highway. Really calm and great view down into the valley. Also lots of space in between sites.

Scenic Views

We found this site on The Dyrt. It is right off the highway. The traffic was very little after 9:00. We were the only ones there. The views of the sunset and sunrise were amazing. It was very windy so we did not do a fire. There were fire rings at the camp sites.

Beautiful & Easy Access

I found/chose this campsite based on Dyrt reviews. It was easy to access off the main road and there were plenty of campsites available when I rolled in right before sunset Friday evening June 9th 2023. There were only two other campers within sight that night and we were fairly spread out. The view over the canyon were beautiful and the sound of the water flowing along the bottom echoed up to the campsite. Would easily stay here again.

Nice views and few neighbors

Lots of wildflowers. Road a bit bumpy. Excellent views of canyon. Along 141 but quiet at night. Only one other camper. High above east creek. Gr8 place to chill and walkabout. No facilities

Epic views

Easy access with multiple sites. Feels secluded even if others are camping nearby.
