Small campground right on the Yampa River

This small campground is primarily a river access site but there are a handful of designated campsites.  Located right off US 40, access is easy and most sized rigs will fit.  While right off the highway, US 49 is very quiet at night with almost zero traffic.  Good for a stop over while passing through.  Sites are level.

This is dry camping and cost was $15 when we stayed.
