"My first winter camping trip in Colorado."
"To start, we camped with a teardrop trailer, but once you pass the White River National Forest sign and parking lot for the babbish trail head, it’s not easy to turn around unless you find a campsite."
"It's super close to the hot springs, downtown area and gondola for the adventure park shopping etc."
"Being next to the interstate didn’t end up being a problem, still very quiet. Very close to glenwood springs, which is a definite must do if you’re looking for some relaxation and views."
"Loved the location. Right on the Colorado River. Bike path is right out the front. We rode it from Aspen down valley and right back to our campsite. A feature we really liked.
The sites were tight."
"We’re Van camping in the lower campground, 50’ from the banks of the Colorado River. Electric & Water. Cabins avl. On the River and upper grounds."
"This is a nice little campground outside of Carbondale. We stayed here while visiting Glenwood springs, which is only about 25 minute drive away."
"We enjoyed the paved bike bath all the way into Carbondale.
Carbondale is a nice town with some good restaurants.
We also enjoyed playing pickleball in Carbondale with the friendly local club. "
$38 - $91 / night
"Location is great! A mile walk into the quaint town of Redstone, 20min drive to Carbondale or Marble (opposite direction)."
"Short walk to downtown Redstone, and a short drive yo Marble or Carbondale, this campground has a great location. No cell signal! Staff was great and keep the facilites very clean."
"For those without AWD/4WD vehicles I would use caution/advise against since the drive to get into the actual grounds requires a bit of off roading including crossing a creek."
"Awesome valley with access to the creek. There is also a nice trail up the mountain that forks into two other trails."
$32 - $166 / night
"My husband, 10 year old son and I just finished 6 nights of rent camping at Bogan Flats campground near Marble, CO. Our site was right on the Crystal River, and it was both huge and private."
"The sites next to the river are the best. The sites closer to the entrance and on the river offer the best shade."
"This quaint little campground is just below the highway. While there is quite a bit of highway noise when outside, it didn’t bother us when we were inside our trailer."
"FHU, friendly hosts, right on the bike path and next to the Roaring Fork River. It is not a destination campground, it is a the best place to park and explore the best of Colorado."
"It's beautiful to look at the red stoned mountains and the night sky filled with stars while being fairly close to other things."
"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"
"We camped right by the creek and it was peaceful to sleep next to the white noise of it. No issue setting up a tent but make sure to bring layers for night time if you go early May. "
"No need to pay, which means the campground may not be the cleanest, but is is still very good spots next to the creek, which make the nights very amazing with the sound of the water."
TravelerHands down one of my favorite campgrounds! Located between a bunch of Aspen trees. There are about 27 spots available, all are mostly shaded depending on the time of day.
Plenty of bathrooms/vault toilets available, buildings are new and very clean/well kept! Lockers are available to keep your food and toiletries away from bears - though I haven’t seen any in the area yet.
Camp host is very friendly and knowledgeable, ready to assist with whatever you need. Pricing is fair imo for the upkeep they have for this campsite.
Absolutely worth it for those who enjoy peace & quiet, close to beautiful wilderness in the mountains.
RangerArrived on Thursday before Memorial Day weekend. There are a few campsites next to the river and additional camp sites up the canyon. All river camp spots were taken when we arrived at 5pm, so we continued up the canyon and found a spot with an established fire ring. This spot was nice for the evening, easy to get to and close to Glenwood Springs. The biggest complaint was the multiple ticks we discovered while sitting around the camp fire. Make sure to keep a close eye for ticks
ScoutTravel up a dirt road 4 to 10 miles and find many sites. It is popular in hunting season. Road closed Oct 1st to May 31st.
ScoutRoad closed several mile before sites
GuideNot bad close to river. Ideal for tenting or small RV. Hiking nearby. 2025.05.24
GuideNice easily accesable spot There are 2 ways in. It is mostly open but there are areas that have more trees and therefore more privacy. 2025.05.24
ScoutHad no problem getting up in a Subaru Forester, but very rutted out. Not recommended for trailers or sedans. Got in late and found a spot on a busy holiday weekend, it was forested with a good rock fire ring but some trash left over. Felt secluded enough but had hiking trails around. Saw a few other cars.
ScoutReally pretty spot if you have 4x4 or something that can handle hills and off roading. I tore the back of my rv on a tiny hill entering the area. Oops. And its very u level by the front so bring levelers

Careful with wild life - a fox visited the campsite.
