James M. Robb Colorado River - Island Acres Section Camping

Stayed in site 5 Loop A which is right on the river. Could hear and see trains going by occasionally on the other side of river. Sites are pretty well spaced out and have a good shade structure over the picnic table. Lots of flying bugs and it was hot in early July. Have electric hookups but still quite warm. Flush toilets were okay, nothing special. Also have to buy a CO Park Pass, so thats another $10 on top of the reservation fee. 

Food aside: Ate Kikkoman teriyaki rice noodles and Kalua pork, yum!!

Clean campsite that is conveniently located near I70. Canyons surrounding the campsite are pretty. Train and traffic noise at campground but not unbearable.

Water turned off at the end of October. Pit toilets are available and clean. Able to reserve day of visit, but the website is a bit wonky. 5g Verizon. Nice river walk. Yellow leaves on the trees still in November. Only the loop b open right now. About 10 other campers. The highway /train noise is minimal inside a camper. There is a playground and covered picnic tables. Very close to Palisade farm land. I'd camp here again. Not too many dispersed options close by.

Even the official State Park description mentions highway and train noise. But the landscape is wonderful. Watching the sunlight play out on the canyon walls sold me. I’ll be back again. Probably wouldn’t spend a lot of time here but as an easy stop for a night, directly off of I70, it’s a winner.

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site C50 for 4 days in mid June. The sites are nice and fairly well spaced, typical of SP CGs. There is a daily entrance fee of$10/vehicle in addition to the CG fee, so factor that in. There is quite a bit of road noise from I-70. There is a nice trail along the river too. AT&T coverage was quite good, with 3 Bars of 5G service and speeds up to about 7 MB/s. We had a clear view of the southern and northern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site and Starlink had speed up to 10 MB/s. There are about 30 wineries in the Grand Junction, TWP, Colorado Vintners Collective and Restoration Vineyard, had some really nice offerings.

Headed East and used this campground as a stop over. Tent sites at $22 were booked wound up with electric at $36. A bit pricey but hopefully the showers will make up for it.

Nice campground, but not much shade besides the picnic table enclosure.

This is a beautiful state park, but it's next to I-70. The higher number sites are very close to the road.

Good facilities, and warm showers, playground, fishing, etc. All around beautiful place

Great walking path along the river for evening or morning stroll. Tucked in the canyon, surrounded by cliffs.

Off I70, plenty of campsites if you're making a road trip to the national parks in Utah. A nice stay to gear up and rest from a long day of driving. Nice trail along the Colorado River. Showers and sheltered picnic tables at pull through, electrical campsites. Privacy if staying during the winter months (only ones here).

Had a fun trip with my son’s Cub Scout troop years ago.

We stayed here for almost a week in the beginning of October. The campground itself was nice with the only detracting factor being the highway next door. There was a fatal crash on the highway one night we were there and the traffic was backed up till late at night/ early morning. 

The park itself is situated nicely in a canyon, which when the sun rises the light bounces off the cliffs and gives a dazzling sight. We came to the area for (mainly) one reason- The Colorado National Monument. We ended up loving that we could take advantage of Grand Junctions amenities (shopping, car maintenance, even replacing our RV furniture!) 

The site itself was a pull through which is always a nice addition to a campsite. They have laundry services for a fair price, though only 4 machines (2 wash, 2 dry).

We have stayed at this State Park years ago and love it. You do get lots of road noise as it’s right off I-70, but all the pluses make up for that! Level spaces with fire pits, post BBQ grill, picnic tables. The spaces that don’t have tall enough trees have covers over their picnic tables. There’s grass between spaces and they are nice large spaces. There’s a small lake for fishing and appears to be open for swimming in the summer. You have a choice of full hookups or electric only. There’s an RV dump on site. There’s restrooms scattered throughout. And I didn’t notice it advertised but there are a couple of washers and dryers. There are a couple of nice handicap spaces as well. It is more expensive than most state parks we have stayed at. $37 plus a $9/day vehicle fee for full hookup site.

Add $9 daily for Colorado State parks. Full hookups (near I70/some road noise), and Electric only, and, Tent

Pit long-drop toilets (fly haven)

Lovely park on banks of Colorado river. Friendly hosts & park rangers. Close to town and various wineries. Nice mountain drives. Definitely repeatable

Data. T-mobile 5G excellent Verizon. Very good ATT. Pretty good Cricket voice ok, no data Absolutely NO Visible

Stopped by for lunch. It’s next to the Colorado River. Nice lunch spots with water and picnic tables. Lots of room for RV’s to maneuver. A little playground and swimming pond too.

It’s also very open and hot. Some big cottonwoods provide relief.

This spot sits right on the Colorado river and by train tracks. Occasionally, you will see a train go by but it's not too loud and not too often. The spot were were in was not cleaned sro there were piles of ants eating leftover food. Besides that it's a very nice location with plenty to see. There's a small hike path along the river and there's also a permanent mounted telescope so you can spot some Bighorn sheep on the mountain. There's an area to fish and some people were enjoying kyaking on the pond. It's about 22 minutes from Walmart, Sam's club and across the street there's a gas station.

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site C58 for 2 days in mid June. The temperatures were in the mid 100’s in the area and the CG only has 30 amp service, so we could only run one of our AC units during the daytime without popping the circuit breaker. The ambient heat probably contributed to the breaker popping. The sites are nice and fairly well spaced, typical of SP CGs. There is a daily entrance fee of$9/vehicle in addition to the CG fee, so factor that in. There is a nice trail along the river too. AT&T coverage was good, with 3-4 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 8 MB/s. Our site had a clear view of the Southern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There are about 30 wineries in the Grand Junction, Clinton& Palisade area. Two of the three we visited, TWP and Colorado Vintners Collective, had some very nice offerings.

Stopping here on our way from Ouray CO to Casper WY. Clean, grassy campround along the Colorado River. We have seen one river otter and many birds in the trees. Hosts and Rangers are ever present, which is a good thing.

The freeway is right next door so bring ear plugs or run a fan

My wife and I like this campground.  Its mostly open close sites, but it was quiet clean and well kept.  The views are nice and there are a few waling paths around the campground.  Showers and bathrooms were clean and well maintained.  It is about a 20 to 25 minute drive to Colorado National Monument which is the reason we chose this campground.  We would stay at this state park again if in this area.

Wonderful view of being inside a canyon. Chance to see bighorns running up the canyon walls. Good ATT signal being right on interstate.. but it’s right on the interstate lol. Convenient but you can hear it. Doesn’t bother me when sleeping but it may you. Nice trail along river. Easy access to the river for dogs. Swimming hole for people only. Few stock ponds they call lakes.

Nice campground, except some noise from highway. The tent sites are not free unless it is off season you may be able to get away with it. I stealth camped here in a parking spot and paid for a day pass.

We stayed in a full RV hookup site for 2 nights (power, water & sewer). Typical State Park with little privacy but there is a great trail along the river that we rode bikes and ran along. The main building has coin showers in the bathrooms and as well a little coin op laundry. The bathrooms closer to the sites are vault toilets but seen to be kept fairly clean.

The camp sites are comfortable enough, but being a literal stones throw from an Interstate makes it feel like a commercial campground.  It's a bit run down and there is a nearby burn (not the parks fault) making it a bit second tier as far as Colorado State Parks go.  I have been to the Fruita location of James Robb as well which is a much better destination, but if you have to stay here a night, bring a tube and a couple beverages.  Float the Colorado River, and be a good citizen.  I picked up more trash here than any other park I've attended so far in my 30+ years.

The staff are outstanding and polite... but cheap ass Colorado could spread some of there super high gas tax and pot revenue on this cute little place... For Shame Colorado politicians... well done state employees that make due with marginal support ... the river is too far for camp views, not bad if you’re tired.

The campground was fine, not great. Highway noise 24/7 and although our site was "on the river" there was an embankment which blocked the view. 

There was a pretty fast current—I wish we had brought tubes and life vests so that we could have enjoyed the water. It was way too fast for our paddle boards.

The highlight of the campground was the steep cliff on the other side of the river. We quickly realized that two Bald Eagles were sharing a nest up high, and we enjoyed watching them while we were there.

We love this state park for fun little getaways. The fishing lakes, swimming lake and playground are all fun aspects my family enjoys.

It is very convenient as it is right off I-70. Very pretty with the cliffs behind it and a little pond on the property. The pond is stocked with fish.

Even by the highway, it is fairly quiet. The sites are well spaced. It could use a few more tent spots, but hookups for rv's are plentiful.

This place was really smelly when we stayed. Fire was real close as well. The road is noisy. Did not enjoy

We liked the setting and the campground was nice and clean. However sites were very close together and the tent sites were on top of each other. We were asked to move our site for a new camper at like 9 am even though check out was around 12. Other than that we liked the campground there is a nice playground a wonderful fishing pond and a swimming hole. There are showers however they are $1 for 4 minutes so bring your change.

The confusing thing was there are a few campgrounds in the area with the name James M Robb. We stayed at the James M Robb Campground a few miles east of Palisade, Co.

We stayed in the C loop. The campground was in great shape and was well maintained. If you are seeking off the grid camping this is likely not the place for you. We had full hookups (water, sewer, power). The area had nice views with the Colorado River running along the side of the campground. We did some hiking on trails above Palisade and spent time at the wineries, cideries, breweries, and distilleries in Palisade and Grand Junction.

I would stay here again.
