Loudy-Simpson County Park

About six primitive sites plus one wheelchair accessible site occupy this expansive county park along the Yampa River. Signage doesn't clearly indicate whether overnight camping is permitted, though campers report staying without issue. The sites sit near the boat launch area, while restrooms are located 500 yards away in the playground section of the park.

Morning brings deer crossing the river and various bird species along the water. A dog park and trail system run adjacent to the camping area, with locals arriving early to use these facilities. South Beach - Yampa River State Park provides a more established option just southeast for campers wanting designated overnight areas.

Pleasant surprise on the Yampa

I’m not quite sure what the story is with this park. There are about six primitive sites plus one wheelchair accessible site down at the boat launch area of this expansive county park. There is no signage at all to indicate if the sites are day use or overnight stays allowed? We figured it doesn’t explicitly state ‘no camping’ so we spent a peaceful Wednesday night here and had no company until locals showed up in the morning to use the dog park located right in the area (which is also a wonderful trail along the Yampa). The sunrise over the Yampa was spectacular and we saw many species of birds and several deer crossing the River. All and all this site exceeded our expectations. Do note that there are sparkling clean bathrooms in the playground area of the park, but that area is a good 500 yards away. No restrooms at all at the actual campsite.
