Best RV Parks & Resorts near Dinosaur, CO

Several RV parks surround Dinosaur, Colorado, providing convenient access to Dinosaur National Monument and regional attractions. Blue Mountain Village RV Park, located directly in Dinosaur, offers year-round operations with 50-amp service, sewer hookups, and water connections for big rigs. Just 30 miles east in Rangely, Buck N Bull RV Park provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service, operating from April through November. Across the Utah border, Vernal RV Resort features 57 spacious sites with full hookups including 30/50-amp service, while Fossil Valley RV Park in Vernal maintains year-round availability with level gravel pull-through sites. "The sites were deep and wide and we had no problem backing into the site. It fit our trailer, truck, and SxS vehicles," noted one Vernal RV Resort visitor.

Seasonal considerations affect RV camping options throughout the region. Many parks close during winter months, though Blue Mountain Village and Fossil Valley remain open year-round. Dump stations are available at most private RV parks, with Outlaw Trail RV Park in Jensen charging $10 for non-guests. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with stronger signals in towns and weaker coverage near Dinosaur National Monument. Pet policies generally allow leashed dogs at all RV parks mentioned. Water pressure can fluctuate, with one visitor reporting only 25-30 psi at Steinaker State Park, recommending travelers fill freshwater tanks and use onboard pumps instead. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when Dinosaur National Monument visitation peaks, particularly for premium riverfront sites at Vernal RV Resort.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Well taken care of-- New look

    Vernal Dinosoar Koa seems like it has a TON of spots crammed into a small are but all of them have green grass, picnic tables, and grills. Some sites have covered awnings some have large shade trees. What I liked about this campground were all the activity options they gave you, unlike some other KOA's I've stayed at. There was a small but functional K-9 park, a kids park, a swimming pool, a jump pad, and they had bike/3 wheeler rentals, and a mini golf coarse. They had a covered patio off of the pool building with picnic tables for use and just on the other side of the jump pad and kids playground they had a HUGE grassy field that you could go throw frisbees on or even fly a kite. They had spots for small RV, Very Large RVs, One special site that came with cable tv, and numerous cabins for rent. If your looking for something just off of the town in Vernal, So you can visit all the great dinosaur attractions, this would be the place. They did have a small store with firewood, some sundries, and tourist gifts. They also have 2 dump stations for $10 a use out front.

    Fossil Valley RV Park

    Very good RV park

    This park is clean and well maintained with plenty of pull thru sites with room for all your tow vehicles. Full hookups with max 50 amp service and good Wi-Fi. Shady park with nice bathrooms/showers and close to stores and restaurants. The owners are friendly and considerate of your needs.

    Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA

    Close to area atrractions

       This campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided. 

       There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues. 

       They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.

    Steinaker State Park Campground

    Great Base to Explore the Area

    Access to the park was easy as was check in. The camp hosts were super nice and very accommodating during our three night’s stay. We proceeded backwards through the campground as instructed to pull through site 8, which is FHUs and 50 AMP. We had to maneuver our 39’ fifth wheel so the utilities side bedroom slide wouldn’t go into a tree. The utilities are placed in the middle of the pad so that was nice. However, water pressure was only about 25 to 30 psi so we filled our freshwater tank and used the pump. We got spotty service on Verizon between 1 and 2 bars. In the mornings we were able to get our Verizon MiFi to work well. We really liked being on the upper campground level with more space between the sites and the covered patio with the picnic table. Sites 1- 8 that lead to the upper level are FHUs. Beware that site 8 is a 1/4 moon turn with a large tree then two poles out the front of the site that people have complained about hitting. We could have backed out of the site but decided to go carefully forward and we missed the poles(obvious from scrapes that some people did not), but we did scrape the branches of the trees. Pull through site 7 is probably the easiest FHU to get into. The rest of the sites are a mix of different services, i.e. water and electric or no hookups at all. They also have a couple of yurts and a cabin. The main draw here seemed to be OHVs but there were also a few people with boats. Checkout Moonshine Arch. It took us twice to find the Moonshine Arch, which is just down the road from Steinaker SP. Google maps nor Waze will get you to the trailhead. It's best to ask for directions from the camp host manning the Steinaker SP gate entrance. The first time we were not prepared and missed the turn to the left after you get on the gravel road(there's no sign). When we got to the parking area, we had no idea which way to go and ended up wondering around. There was a couple with a brochure(which you can get at the park office) but it was basically worthless. Since it was hot and we had our dogs, we bailed but did have a nice hike. The second day we were better prepared and found a blogger who had posted instructions. Basically its a.8/less than a mile moderate hike as follows: 1) go through the green gate to an old, rough jeep trail and follow it around to the right to another green gate, 2) before that green gate follow the trail to the left until you come to an intersection where you'll go right and continue until you get to the flat rocks that go up a hill, 3) climb the flat rock hill staying towards the left until you see a BLM info sign, 4) at the sign follow the trail to the left(at this point you can follow the footprints in the sand) and keep going until you get to the arch, which has a sign that you are there, and of course the arch is hard to miss at this point. Some info says you can see the arch after you climb the flat rock hill. You can see trees around the arch once you know where it is but not the arch itself. Also, if you are into dinosaurs, this is your area starting with Vernal’s museum plus state and national sights as well.

    Vernal RV Resort

    Off the beaten path

    This was a great place for us to put a group together.  The sites could accommodate trailers over 40ft with ease.  We had easy access to some of the OHV trails in the area but had to drive to some of the main ones back near Vernal.  The clubhouse was nice and clean, and the sites were great.  We had one of the premium sites that was right along the river, and it was a gorgeous view.  The sites were deep and wide and we had no problem backing into the site.  It fit our trailer, truck, and SxS vehicles.  There isn't much shade at all since the RV resort is new and still growing trees.

    The biggest complaint that I had about the sites was the taste of the water.  We had to buy bottled water because we couldn't stand the taste of the tap water even though it went through a filter.

    Green River Campground — Dinosaur National Monument

    Nice campground

    Our 2nd time here. First time we had a spectacular view of the comet Neowise. Some sites along river. As with any campground, some sites close together. Campground was pretty empty this time and we could pick site. Water, flush toilets, although bathrooms not well cared for and smelled bad. Loop A seemed more our style, no big rigs. No sign of campground host. Nice hiking trail along river. Peaceful evening with a lightning and thunder show!

    Rangely Camper Park

    Rangely, Co Camper Park

    This city operated RV/ Camping Park in Rangely, Colorado is an excellent city managed spot to spend the night or several days. The park offers electric sites for $20.00 a night or $10.00 a night for no electricity. Water spigots are located all around the park and there is a dump station on site. Numerous giant Cottonwood trees provide a lot of shade for the park. Located just outside of Rangely, everything you need is just minutes away.

    City Parks and Rec staff frequent the property and are friendly and willing to help anyone in need.

    There is restroom facilities and showers on site.

    Dinosaur National Monument is only 30 minutes away and east of town is Kenney Reservoir is just minutes east of town and offers fishing, swimming and boating.

    Make sure to visit the “Tower” on the west side of town. It is a converted, 3 story, water tank that is now a recording/ sound studio.
    The acoustics of the tower is definitely something you should experience!

    We stayed here four nights with our 32 foot fifth wheel and there is several spots to fit that and our truck. Lots of space for tent camping on grass.

    Highly recommend Rangely Camp Park!
