"The South Rim Campground is similar to other national park campground in that it provides convenient access to park activities and trails, but it stands apart due to the fact that the camping fees are"
"Most of the outer sites are tucked into the forest so there is a decent level of privacy. Lots of deer frequent the area, we saw several on each trip."
"A few minutes outside the south gate of the park. Multiple sites, most of which are on dirt. Paths to and from can be a bit rough for most passenger vehicles. But it’s quite and close to the park."
"This campground is easy to miss in the dark, and once you drive in its easy to get turned around and lost trying to find the exit again."
$20 / night
"Driving through Colorado in the fall there is nothing which can compare. "
"Camped one night on our road trip throughout southwestern Colorado. Campsites over look the canyon."
$36 / night
"Great view of the lake but the lake level was down so we weren't as close as you could be but still a great lake & mountain view. I have Verizon I had 2 to 3 bars & could stream Pandora."
"Many vineyards close by. Joe Cocker (rock singer) had a ranch nearby."
$20 / night
"down the road, you park in the sites facing the river, and walk your stuff down a little embankment to very cool, quiet, shady sites that I really liked."
"There are fifteen spots, 7 of those have drive in access, the other 8 are a park and walk down a small embankment - but oh, what a setting - set in a grove of trees, it was beautiful."
"This campground is a gem as other reviewers have cited, BUT the road in is dangerous when wet as there is a lot of exposure off the edge. An AWD would be ok but still dicey on the downhills."
"I would recommend this spot as a great overnight stop, easily accessible but off the beaten path enough to not be crowded."
$25 - $170 / night
"Campsites are a small piece of grassy area next to a pond or on an outside loop. Portable toilets only. Traffic noise at night."
"Our only complaint was that it was quite hot (topped out near 100 degrees)."
$28 - $41 / night
"As part of Crawford Lake State Park, this campground offers great water access to a small reservoir for SUPs, motorboats and sailing."
"Crawford is about 8 miles away and has some restaurants with good home cooking."
"Hiking trails nearby. Multiple campgrounds along the road but the road is bumpy and one way so occasionally someone has to pull over to let others pass."
"It's one car width and has some drop offs next to it but people were driving RVs on the road. Managed it fine in a Honda HR-V. Might be tough if it's muddy."
TravelerStayed at a small back-in site with 30 amp & electric in our camper van. The site had a fire ring, grill, and picnic table. Loved that they had a store, laundry room, and firewood for sale. The store closes at 5:00 & we arrived at 5:10 but the office lady still checked us in and made sure we had firewood. The campground is well-maintained and clean.
RangerArrived 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
TravelerThis 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.
TravelerVery nice park, clean bathrooms and showers. Great views!
GuideWe spent 7 days here in what we refer to as spot#5(the best spot) but be advised any of the spots in this area are difficult to get into unless you have a high clearance vehicle and rig. I would suggest that no Class C or A try to camp in this area. We explain more in our video that we have linked on the videos tab here but this is also the direct link https://youtu.be/6Rp2QHxAgrc
GuideWe found this campground last minute and thankful there was a spot. Great grounds, quiet, clean and pretty… EXCEPT the blaring sound of J brakes from the semis at all hours of the night.
ScoutUp high on a peninsula. Great views of the San Juans and Cimmaron mountain ranges. Great for a base camp. Tons of places to go from there and the evenings by the fire. Great, super clean facilities and friendly staff.
GuideStayed for just one night at site 55. Needed all our levelers as the site is sloped downhill. Windy in the morning. Clean and friendly. Nice views.
