GuideLoved this place!!! Very clean, friendly and have huge sites. Looks fairly new. It’s close to everything including sites. The mountains are beautiful. Night sky was jaw dropping. The resort was very quiet which was SO nice and relaxing. We didn’t use any amenities but I have no doubt they would be flawless. Grand Junction is worth a 2 night stay it has some incredible things to see. Good restaurants and we had perfect weather. It’s very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too. Grand Junction itself is very pet friendly.
LegendMonument RV park is located in Fruita, CO which is only 12 miles or 20 minutes from Grand Junction. Fruita has a lot to offer for a small town. There are biking and hiking trails as well as the national monument itself.
At the campground, we were pleased with our stay. The bathrooms, showers and laundry were up to par. Although, one of the buildings was closed for the winter. The dog park had waste that guests didn’t pick up, but it was nice they had a space dedicated to our pets. There is a pool for the warmer months and it’s in close proximity to a Dairy Queen, liquor store and other restaurants. They also have a RV storage space!
GuideCan’t say enough about this camp spot. Wow!! Pull throughs ... back ends available. Fabulous service from the owners. We planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying a few more days. Dog park, showers, laundry faculties, full hookups, general store, art, great WiFi (we had Verizon) ... and some sites are backed up to the Colorado River. Just amazing .... very clean. Would highly recommend!
TravelerVery nice park and nice staff. Bathroom and showers were very nice and the landscaping and dog park were nice. Centrally located. Would definitely return. We only stayed one night.
TravelerThis was our first trip with our new trailer, and the first night camping with it. The office was closed, so we went on to our site. Someone was hooking up as we approached, but quickly left when we confirmed we had it reserved.
We were pleasantly surprised to find that the site had water. The site was very clean, shaded and long enough that we could stay hooked up to the trailer.
The restrooms were very clean, as were the playground and dog park. We did hear a lot of road noise while outside, but not in the trailer.
Overall, it’s a great little place that’s well maintained!
GuideQuiet area for a quick stop overnight. 3 pull through spots great for a camper or smaller RV plus a couple of back in spots with rock fire rings. Near town and close to i70.
Note: there are several coyotes in the area. Be sure to keep an eye on your pets.
GuideThis is an occasional quick hit for us, close to where we live. NO OPEN WOOD FIRES due to natural tinder-box ecosystem. Excellent plumbed restrooms. Very quiet, great variety of high desert wildlife, including deer, bighorn sheep, and small critters. This is an easy stop for I-70 travelers, so reservations are advisable. Be aware of gate fees, and steep grades into and out of the CNM. For an extra thrill, leave "the back way" and see the rest of the park. Visitor's Center is excellent. And please watch your kids and pets! Massive drop-offs are literally everywhere.
ScoutI just started my RVing adventure. Completely new to RVing let alone full-time RVing. James Robb is a nice quiet campground. It has two ponds and only a few minutes walk to the Colorado river. The water near by made it wonderful to walk my dogs in 90-100 degree weather. Camp hosts are friendly
GuideThis was our first KOA experience and we were very pleased. Hosts were friendly, our site was small but well kept. This KOA has a pool, mini golf, dog run, and general store. Facilities were clean and in good shape. Close to the highway, so some noise, but not e Pugh to ruin your time. Best part if this KOA is being close to Colorado National Monument!! One if our favorite places we’ve ever been!
