BLM Rocky Reservoir Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

BLM Rocky Reservoir Campground sits within BLM Land managed by the Little Snake Field Office, accessed via County Roads 10N and 72 (both good gravel) and a final two-track with large boulders and a notable tilt. That two-track crosses Colorado State Trust Land, meaning a valid Colorado fishing or hunting license is required to pass through. The campground has six sites, with sites 3, 5, and 6 noted as the most level. No fee. The single outhouse is clean and well stocked. Daytime OHV activity occurs in the area, though nights are quiet. Hunting season likely brings heavier use. Campers interested in places to camp near BLM Land — Little Snake Field Office will find the nearby Gates Of Lodore Campground — Dinosaur National Monument worth considering as an alternative base.

Small campground that is quiet during non-hunting season

Correct location is: N 40.959524 W 108.904624

I camped here (site 5) for 2 nights - a Thursday and Friday - in early June. I had the campground to myself. I needed a level spot which limited my choice (site 3, 5 and 6 seemed to be the most level).

There are only 6 sites with sites 5 and 6 sharing a large grassy area. The campground is within a young aspen forest with some tall standing dead trees (I had my fingers crossed that more would not be falling down and blocking the road).

The single outhouse was clean and well stocked. The area is very quiet at night - some OHV traffic in the area during the day on Friday but not a lot.

I'm guessing this campground is much busier during hunting season (s).

I approached from county 10N and then onto county 72 and then a turn on to a two-track at a marked sign for the campground, however this access goes through State Trust Land (Cold Springs Mountain) and you must have a Colorado fishing, or hunting license. County 10N and 72 are both good gravel roads while the two track has a few large boulders and a significant tilt in places.

I'm not sure if there is access from the north that avoids the State land.

There's a second BLM campground nearby called "Bishops Hunting Campground" it is a large grassy area with one picnic table and 2 fire pits at the edge of an aspen forest. No outhouse.

No fee. Correct location is: N 40.959524 W 108.904624
