Easy roadside camping that felt more remote

Convenient and easy roadside/riverside camping that felt like it was more remote than it actually was. This campground is ideal for anyone paddling the Narrows section of the Poudre to use as a take out or a put in for the lower sections.

On this early spring trip when the water was high and most of the river was unrunnable, we were able to show up in the middle of the night without a reservation and easily find a campsite. I imagine 'in-season' when the water is lower, and warmer a campsite here might be hard to come by.

We stayed in campsite #1, which is a large RV site that is right next to the road. The site was huge, level and easy to get into with our Sprinter van. It seemed like it would be easy to get into in a large RV as well, even though it was right on the corner of the circle by the entrance to the campground. We heard ZERO road noise, although that could be because the river was so high that was all you could hear (you actually almost had to yell, to talk to each other around the fire pit!)
