"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."
"You can camp at a designated campground right on the lake, or you drive up 24 and find a lot of dispersed camping available - all the way up to the little lakes (great for fishing too)."

"The cabins are HA and have nice sidewalk paths from the parking lot. Inside a mini fridge, coffee maker, and a microwave are provided."
"We used a walk-in tent site. The trail for the sites was clear, clean, and the sites were the same. Bathroom was clean and did not smell at all, water from the spigot was clean and cool."
"It is a designated OHV area so no worries about people stopping you from ripping around and exploring."

"A lush forest surrounding beautiful Cottonwood lakes 1 &4 great fishing access good for kayak / small boats ."

"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 lake is really pretty and lots of fish were pulled out. Each person made their bag limit on trout. The sites were spacious. It's a bigger campground but there were tons of wildlife."
"We went searching for a free camping spot near Gunnison and got horribly stuck in mud on roads that were too awful for our car, even with 4wheel drive."
"I pulled up early on a Friday morning and managed to snag a spot pretty close to the lake. Fantastic view and right next to the walking trails."
Took 100(Lands end rd) to 108 and turned right (north) 1/4 mile turned left on reservoir maintenance rd. One FS campsite there overlooking "reservoir 1". Peaceful and gorgeous! Im in a class B van with low clearance and had no issues getting in & out. I'll be back there again!
Great for the price- easy to get in and out.
Nice amenities. No shade. Pretty grass and concrete. Feels like living in a city with an HOA.
You have to go a long way up and down Country Road 117 before you start seeing campsites. They’re there. Look for a reasonably flat space and maybe a campfire ring. It’s wild camping. The road became pretty rough for my AWD Ford Transit. Eventually I had to call it quits and pick a space. I never found any perfectly manicured sites. The road forked several times with no indication which way to go. Maybe all ways lead to sites, no clue. I took a left and found a space within sight of a variety of campers. I tucked in and no one seemed to mind.
Very nicely groomed campground level site. 2 fishing ponds plus the river a swimming hole also . Nice views of the book cliffs. How ever we were so close to the interstate the noise was horrible . If I was to come back here I definitely would not stay in loop D maybe 100 yards from interstate on other side of fence/tree line . If it was not for the that the park would be an awesome one
River access, no bugs, water, bathroom facilities, isolated spots surrounded by trees and close proximity to hayes waterfall and penny hot springs.
The bathrooms were clean, unfortunately the showers weren’t open during our visit. Cheap firewood for sale at entrance and campfires were allowed so we did all of our cooking in the fire pit at our site.
Site 31 was incredible, good size for tent campers, we put up one large three room tent and two single tents and still had plenty of room for the car and activities. Each site had a bear locker and the bathrooms were right across from our site.
I wouldn’t plan on swimming for too long in the river as it was ice cold and very fast moving but it was great for a quick dip.
Lots of space, I believe you can drive either to the bottom or top of the little dune. We stayed on the top and we were the only ones. Ground is dust/dirt but there were plenty of places to park with great views! Only complaint is LOTS of gnats. OFF didn’t help so we ended up just sitting in the tent. After dark they went away!
Lots of highway noise + train. Both are amplified from the canyon. No where flat for a travel trailer to park.
It was a nice place to spend some quite time until 4 semi trucks loaded with over 10k sheep showed up haha! They said the let the sheep on their own for the entire summer time, so glad I was leaving the next day because they did left me a present of their particular smell 🤭 I did fund some trash and glass in the are. I tried to clean the most I could. It is about 30 min from town and the morrow bumpy road didn’t make to easy for me and my 21’TT but 2WD will do ok. I didn’t want to go all the way down to the creek so I stayed on the info round around.
