Redstone Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

White River National Forest's Redstone Campground sits along the Crystal River in Colorado's Crystal Valley, operating under US Forest Service management from late May through early November. The campground runs two main loops: one with full hookups (electric, water, and sewer, accommodating RVs up to 58 feet) and one for dry camping, giving it range for both tent campers and self-contained rigs. Red rock peaks rise on either side of the valley, and the river runs close enough to the sites that its sound carries through camp.

Sites are well-spaced and tree-lined, with multiple reviewers noting the privacy between neighbors. Each site includes a bear locker. Bathrooms draw consistent praise for cleanliness, though showers have not always been operational at the start of the season. Cell coverage is limited, with at least one camper relying on Starlink for connectivity. Firewood is available for purchase at the entrance, and campfires are permitted. The Crystal River offers quick access for wading, though the current runs fast and cold.

The small town of Redstone is bikeable from camp and has a general store, a pizza restaurant, and a local museum. Marble, roughly 30 minutes up the road, adds another day-trip option. Sara S. sums up the experience well: "Friendly camp host, clean bathrooms, and well kept grounds." Campers using Redstone as a base for the Glenwood Springs and Aspen corridors will find places to camp near Redstone and the broader camping near White River National Forest useful for planning multi-night itineraries in the region.

Guests frequently mentioned the large, private sites with stunning mountain views and consistently clean facilities. Camp hosts receive regular praise for their friendliness and helpfulness. Some road noise noted, but most found the natural beauty and proximity to Redstone village made it an excellent base camp.

What more could you want

River access, no bugs, water, bathroom facilities, isolated spots surrounded by trees and close proximity to hayes waterfall and penny hot springs.

The bathrooms were clean, unfortunately the showers weren’t open during our visit. Cheap firewood for sale at entrance and campfires were allowed so we did all of our cooking in the fire pit at our site.

Site 31 was incredible, good size for tent campers, we put up one large three room tent and two single tents and still had plenty of room for the car and activities. Each site had a bear locker and the bathrooms were right across from our site.

I wouldn’t plan on swimming for too long in the river as it was ice cold and very fast moving but it was great for a quick dip.

Best Kept Secret

We went with our two kids, and it was perfect. The Crystal was rushing, so we had to be extra cautious, but it’s super close to the campground for quick access. We also loved biking into Redstone, which is, perhaps, the cutest town I’ve ever seen: quaint general store, antique shops, a museum, a great pizza place, and a park. We loved it so much that I almost don’t want others to know. The campground itself is pretty bare-bones, but it’s absolutely stunning with so much of nature’s playground around.

Beautiful Spot, Close to Nothing

Great natural beauty nestled in a valley with plenty of aspen trees. The only downside is it is far from everything (except the small village of RedStone).

Campsites have plenty of room between and ours were very private. Full shower and flushed toilet bathrooms that were very nice for a state park. Beautiful setting as its long river and the valley with towering rock peaks on either side.

Would rate As a five star, except it was from everything we wanted to do. No Verizon reception, had to use Starlink.

Beautiful setting and easy to get to

This is the 2nd time that my husband and I have stayed at Redstone Campground. It's beautiful to look at the red stoned mountains and the night sky filled with stars while being fairly close to other things. The camp hosts have been super friendly and helpful both times, and Don and John even told us of some things to do close by that we didn't know about! The bathrooms are extremely clean and when the showers are open, they are the same. We will keep going back! The only reason for the 4 stars is that you can still hear the cars on the road.

Campsite 34/35 is a shared site (so during COVID you get the whole thing to yourself).

Beautiful Spot

Great base camp to explore Glenwood Springs and Aspen areas. Or, just relax and enjoy the scenery. The campground is one mile from the charming town of Redstone. Redstone Inn has a restaurant with great food, and there are picnic tables outside the restaurant if you want to bring your dog. I stayed in the loop with water and electric hookup, but there are two other loops with dry camping. The views are amazing.

Great basecamp to explore the area

Great campground. Two main loops, one with hook ups and one without. Each loop has a host and they do a good job of keeping the campgrou nd cleaned and reservations honored. The cute town of Redstone is just a couple miles down the road. Nice walk from campground. Marble is about 30min and they have the best BBQ place - Slow Groovin. Check it out. There are also great challenging hikes. Next time may rent an ATV
