Marshall Park Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Fly fishing draws many visitors to Marshall Park Campground, where the Rio Grande runs directly alongside the sites. Set within Rio Grande National Forest, this small, drive-in campground sits close enough to the river that the sound of moving water carries through most of the sites. Anglers can walk from their tent straight into the water, and multiple reviewers note the consistent presence of fly fishermen working the river throughout the day.

Site selection matters here. Riverfront sites fill quickly, and some of the more sought-after spots are first-come, first-served. Sites vary noticeably in layout and privacy: some sit close to neighbors and near the vault toilets, while others provide more separation from the rest of the campground. Shade is limited across most of the property. Paved pull-ins accommodate larger rigs, and one reviewer confirmed a 39-foot trailer fit without issue, with electric hookups available for those who need them.

"Spaces are close together but it was very quiet," notes Jessica D., which tracks with the campground's small scale. Campers who want drinking water on-site should note that the on-site water situation has been inconsistent across visits; at least one reviewer filled tanks at the visitor center hydrant in Creede. Cell service is limited. Nearby alternatives include Antlers Rio Grande Lodge and RV Park for those wanting full-service amenities. Reservations are available and worth making for holiday weekends.

Comfortable campground close to Creede

This is a small campground 7 miles from Creede. It has 15 sites, most of which require reservations but there are 5 FCFS sites. No water on site but a clean outhouse and a helpful host. Some sites are on the Rio Grande River and very little highway noise. A very pleasant place to stay.

Pretty Campground - Irritating Campsite

Great little campground. Right on the Rio Grande River…walk out of your tent straight into excellent fly fishing waters. Vault toilets. Nice campground host. Spaces are close together but it was very quiet. Not hardly any shade. Site 007 I would not recommend…the tent area is separated from the picnic table and fire pit by a good 25 yards…not convenient.

Great campsite by the Rio Grande River

Reserved a spot by the Rio Grande over Labor Day weekend. Stayed one night and fell asleep to the flowing river. Spot #7 was perfect as it has a picnic table and fire ring to the left of where you pull in and the campsite is to the right and gets you close to the river. There are other camp spots near but you can't hear anyone else over the roar of the river. Walking tour in the videos below.
