East Portal Campground — Curecanti National Recreation Area
Reviewed Aug. 20, 2021

Neat campground!

I’ve always loved this place ever since I got to bear watch here for hours. My girlfriend and I got extremely lucky while sitting on the river. We saw 5-6 different bears come down to take a drink! They’d come down and head right back up it was incredible. Some of the sites you have to park up above and walk in but it’s not a huge deal. Some are pretty close to one another but it’s definitely worth it. It’s cool to be able to be at the bottom of the canyon all day as well.
