Aspen Glade (rio Grande National Forest, Co)

Very nice campground. Lots of shade and lots of space between sites. Fishing along the river within the campground. Trash receptacles, water and bathrooms available. Nice little day use area right next to the river. 

Shaded spots, right on the Conejos

This place rocks!

Wish that it were a little cheaper and maybe a bit fatter from the road but it is a nice spot right in the river and has amenities. 

Good

It’s a hidden gem of this part of Colorado.  This campground has a loop by the Coñejos River and that is where we stayed.  Campsite was big and they are nicely spread out.  Didn’t see the host much but they campground is kept well.  No cell signal.  We really enjoyed our 4 nights there but with the shaded spot we got getting consistent solar charge was a challenge.  Either way, we will come back next year.

The entire area is a paradise

If you like fly fishing this is the place to come!  Fishing in the conejos river is spectacular.  Beautiful, quiet and fish are big!  We encounter a mosquito hatch which wasn’t fun but unusual.  The sites are spacious.  No hookups but there is water, bathrooms and trash service.  Campground is clean.  Noise of the river was nice.  Recommend the loop by the river.

Best fly fishing 

This was a wonderful spot! We tent camped with our family of 4 for 4 nights. Camp hosts were awesome too! We haven’t ever done a site with no shower so that’s the only reason it didn’t get a 5 star. But! The river made for great bathing :-D 

Nearby to tons of hiking spots and great outdoors experiences. 

Wonderful weekend!

This campsite is not just for fly fisherman but for outdoor relaxation, biking, nature watching, hiking, trail running and that is just for starters!  But Anglers from beginners to experts can ply the Conejos River for rainbows, brownies, cutthroat and cut bow trout.
Non-electric and water only sites so be prepared for off grid camping.  We love!￼￼ it there!
