"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"

"Loved the site and the location.. easy access to Rifle Falls and the surrounding trails and climbing walls.. close to access for UTV and off-road vehicle areas as well."
"There is a loop with full hook up but there a little further than the lake but nice. Our site had a nice covered area with the picnic table under it & a great view from it."
ScoutIt was a great spot once I finally found it. Waze took me through privately owned land. Google had it right. There’s a T in the road just outside of De Beque. Don’t go on the road marked no outlet! Make the right instead.
ScoutI brought my dog up there yesterday. We car camped overnight without any issues. Only saw a couple of cars, and one group camped 3/4 mile from me. I had a lovely time checking out the bouldering and climbing. While there we couldn't find a clean or easy route to the top of the hill, it made for an interesting charge over loose impediments and various cliff bands. If you go this route, I recommend hiking boots and a pretty good level of mountaineering ability as you could potentially slip or get in a tough cliff band.
Only bummer is that there is no burn season right now (mid-August), so we just enjoyed the night sky.
GuideVisited here back in early season May 2025. There are probably less than 10 spots when you go all the way up the long drive, all with great views, most are on the small side. We ended up making camp in the large open area.
Would recommend 4wd for the last part of the drive to the sites.
TravelerStayed four days, and had an awesome experience. Beautifully maintained park with all amenities you could ask for. The ladies in the front office were accommodating, and the maintenance team were fast and professional!
ScoutThis is the third time we have been here. The office staff are super great people
TravelerPlenty of dispersed sites along this road.
TravelerI was up there on a Tuesday-Wednesday so it was very quiet and there was no one else at the site. It’s right on the water although there is a drop off you have to climb down, but it’s not bad. There were some cattle that walked through as I was setting up but otherwise very chill. All sites had areas for parking and fire rings. Driving off the forest road and onto the small road getting up to the campsite, 4WD isn’t required but highly recommended, it is a very rough road. High clearance is necessary. The sites seemed kinda close to each other however there are trees and stumps that define each site. Amazing views, light rain, and still my favorite forest.
GuideThe campground is built on the side of a mountain so the individual sites are tiered. I could see it making a few people nervous to back in but it’s no big deal. The bathrooms are clean. Two toilets and two showers in men’s and women’s. Highway is loud. Quirky because there are old downhill skis nailed to posts, wagon wheels on either side of the porch swing I’m on. Duck and mushroom figurines. You get the picture. Built in tables on each site are nice.
TravelerGreat little campground off of I-70. Fishing swimming and plenty of walking. While the campground doesn't have a store on site there is a gas station less than a mile away. Would come again! They have no hookups, electric only and full hookups. Great service with Tmobile. Enough open space for starlink as well.
