Awesome location in the San Juans
Went early April. Nice and spacious, river access, close to Placerville if you need something. Functional picnic tables and fire pits. Absolutely stunning views. Nothing in the campground is labeled (except the road signs/ entrance signs) so it’s kind of pick your own spot, regardless of what the description says. Primitive hole in the ground toilets were a nice amenity. I had 2-3 bars of Verizon LTE at the campground no problem, but ironically none in town up the road. No trashcans or dumpsters so be sure you’re able to pack out your trash.

Tranquil place
The camping spot is located near the highway, with only one campsite and a spacious parking area. The atmosphere was extremely tranquil and soothing as we were the only ones present at that time. I wish I could have 365 days of positivity like this :)
Small BLM cg
Small BLM CG, only 5-6 sites, one vault toilet, no trash dumpster and no water. This is the San Miguel River Recreation Area and no dispersed camping is allowed. The BLM CGs are Free and the camping limit is 7 days. No cell signal but SL-RV worked great Caddis Flat is better for RVs and TTs than the Lower Beaver CG a few miles downstream.
