Camping near Colorado National Monument

We enjoyed this spot! Easy to get to and only about 30 minutes or so away from Grand Junction. We were able to get our T@G trailer to a good spot, but the road to the different camping areas can be a bit rocky. Great weather in May, very comfortable boondocking. Closer to the road and other campers around, but surprisingly quiet. Beautiful in the evening and in the morning.

Great place to crash for a few days. Less crowded on the weekdays of course. But plan early as ALL sites have to be reserved (this even works on the day of).

Good views and flat spots. Got my 24ft rig in easily, had to go slow in a few spots

I am traveling and this is by far my favorite site yet. I woke up to the coolest landscape I've ever seen! Fire rings at all sites. Road can definitely get rough but if you take it slow and you'll make it through fine. Watch out for cows in the road! Will definitely camp here again if I get the chance.

We camped with our 21 ft Geo Pro on site 31 on a last minute reservation. This site was a bit tight, but doable. Nice table and grill, lots of space between sites. Very quite even though most of the sites were occupied.

Beautiful spot. No showers though and someone stole our firewood that we left behind for a few hours

This site is right of the highway and very easy to access. The first chunk of road is a little rocky but it’s very mild after that. We were in a 4wd vehicle. You can definitely hear the highway, but light pollution is quite minimal. It’s a dirt biking area, so there were a few people zipping by in the evening, but not too disruptive.

Stay outside your camper here and listen to the doves , ravens, owls, and watch the hawks. There are hundreds of domestic sheep and goats adjacent to the campground. When the coyotes start howling the guard dogs reply.

Overnight stay. Nice park park like setting with all the necessary amenities. Very flat concrete site with picnic table and canopy, fire ring, and gravel sitting area. 30 amp electric and water worked great. Excellent Verizon service as well. Nice view of distant mountains. We did occasionally hear a train in the distance, but it did not affect our sleep. Would stay again.

Not a lot going on here, mostly just a flat desert but that’s exactly what we wanted here and it was great. Very easy car camping spot, roads were gravely but not bad. Stars were amazing and it’s quite close to Moab.

Good place to go for a two or four wheel adventure. Lots of hiking and riding trails. Not very remote which has pros and cons. The area is very clean and well maintained. Simple, scattered bathrooms (no showers) at trailhead. Each North Rabbit Valley spot has a table and firepit with a beautiful view.

Amazing views with multiple points of access for overlooks. As typical of national parks no electricity. Quite campground . Utility sink and flushable toilets in B area . A and C closed for season during March. Would be 5 stars if had electricity. No showers. Showers seem to be less important the longer my trip becomes lol

Very well maintained campground with lots of trees and nice sized sites. They use flood irrigation to maintain the grass and plants. Its a bit of a drive to Grand Junction and the Colorado National Monument, but great if you want to get away from the crowds.

The resort may not be busy in the fall, but that just adds to the appeal of staying this season. We arrived late, but check in was a breeze, and we were able to make ourselves comfortable. The bathhouse is heated and in pristine condition. On property their is a very lovely peach orchard, a dog run, and river access which would be ideal for the summer months. The camp sites are close together but have good trees and even plugs! The cabins are comfortable, with heating, mini fridges and microwaves. 

And the best part: Colterris winery is right next door to walk to.
