"They’re positioned a little close together for my liking but, the immediate access to two beautiful lakes, endless hiking and mountain biking trails more than made up for the close proximity to other campers"
"This is a beautiful small hosted Forest Service campground just off Colorado Hwy 65 (Grand Mesa National Scenic and Historic Byway) in the Grand Mesa National Forest https://bit.ly/3iywM8z."

"Well Managed, well patrolled set of camp sites around one of the largest lakes in western Colorado. Our site was 209 which was a pull-in site with fire ring and picnic table."

The weather is warm at night
This campground is very well kept. Beautiful views. Be aware that site 101 and up is a brand new built campground and has no trees. It does have awnings over the picnic tables but that’s the only shade. Also swarms/clouds of bugs at night.
All that said no big deal, we just hung out on the older side campgrounds where there’s a super nice playground and shade. Shower aren’t the best but they work good and are FREE.
We store our pop-up in Rifle as it has a better winter climate. We grabbed the camper and headed up to Rifle Gap to break her in for the season. The park is situated right on the reservoir. Lots of spots to park a kayak near your camp sites. Bathrooms and showers are clean. The camp host was super nice and had some firewood on site for way cheaper than in town. We had a great time fishing, but they will check fishing licenses, so don't be a poacher. We will be back to camp there for sure.
We stopped here on a roadtrip back to Denver as it was close to grand junction but far enough to feel secluded and boy I am happy we did. It’s on ridge line so the views are as expected - gorgeous. Perhaps a little windy but nothing to write home about. Would stop again in a heartbeat. FYI- some great bouldering right near by on the return road to grand junction!
Lots are close with little privacy.
We have been coming here for years. It is quiet and peaceful next to the roaring of the river. Perfectly situated between Paonia (Big B’s cider) and Kebler pass leading to Crested Butte. Warm showers, incredible owners , useful store and all the feelings of not being in a “campground”
A good spot to stay for a fair price, bathrooms were clean and sites well maintained with laundry available. Free coffee in the laundry room was well appreciated, if you have a larger rig just be aware that it can get a little tight.
Arrived on Friday, 5/23 and we were the first campers of the season! The camp host arrived on 5/19 and there was still 6inches of snow. Luckily all of the snow was melted and we landed a great spot for 2 nights at jumbo campground. Sunset lake is walking distance to the campground and was a great spot for my paddle board. Campground was $26/night for a non electrical spot with access to dumpsters and bathrooms this was a great option for Memorial Day weekend. Many of the hikes in the area were still blocked by snow, but should be clear in the next few weeks
This was a nice spot to stop on our way to Utah in our Airstream Basecamp. The road is dirt and gets real bumpy real fast so we found a spot right at the front. There were only a few other people there near us despite it being 6:30pm on Memorial Day Weekend. It is close to the road so you do hear some road noise. To avoid it I’d go further down the road if you’re able. Spots to the left and right when you turn into the area. Watch for broken glass around the fire pits. Humans being humans unfortunately. Gorgeous views. Nights are really pretty.
