Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Glade Park, CO

Loved this place!!! Very clean, friendly and have huge sites. Looks fairly new. It’s close to everything including sites. The mountains are beautiful. Night sky was jaw dropping. The resort was very quiet which was SO nice and relaxing. We didn’t use any amenities but I have no doubt they would be flawless. Grand Junction is worth a 2 night stay it has some incredible things to see. Good restaurants and we had perfect weather. It’s very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too. Grand Junction itself is very pet friendly.

Monument RV park is located in Fruita, CO which is only 12 miles or 20 minutes from Grand Junction. Fruita has a lot to offer for a small town. There are biking and hiking trails as well as the national monument itself.

At the campground, we were pleased with our stay. The bathrooms, showers and laundry were up to par. Although, one of the buildings was closed for the winter. The dog park had waste that guests didn’t pick up, but it was nice they had a space dedicated to our pets. There is a pool for the warmer months and it’s in close proximity to a Dairy Queen, liquor store and other restaurants. They also have a RV storage space!

Very nice park and nice staff. Bathroom and showers were very nice and the landscaping and dog park were nice. Centrally located. Would definitely return. We only stayed one night.

Can’t say enough about this camp spot. Wow!! Pull throughs ... back ends available. Fabulous service from the owners. We planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying a few more days. Dog park, showers, laundry faculties, full hookups, general store, art, great WiFi (we had Verizon) ... and some sites are backed up to the Colorado River. Just amazing .... very clean. Would highly recommend!

Mud springs is a small campground tucked away on top of a national monument. To enter the monument, there is a fee, but if you are going to mud springs you can tell them that and not pay the park entrance fee. It's up on glade park but kind of off the beat and path. The road was wet from recent rain and a small stream flowed down the washboard surface. The park itself is small but nice. Quiet. A bit muddy when it rains. We saw deer in the morning. We had a nice tent pad and firerings. Room for hammocks. It's a good place with pit toilets. But it's quiet. We did have a couple things walk through our site, we weren't sure what they were but it put our dog on high alert. One had a bell so that was strange. The other we aren't sure of but our dog watched as whatever it was walked past the tent. There weren't many people there so it probably wasn't another camper but some sort of critter. There is also a fresh spring that you can collect water from I think. We looked at it but didn't opt to collect any water. Lots of trees though which is nice. It seems to rain in July there, although they go through severe droughts and then all of a sudden, rain for two days. But both times we've gone in July, it has rained.

Quiet area for a quick stop overnight. 3 pull through spots great for a camper or smaller RV plus a couple of back in spots with rock fire rings. Near town and close to i70.

Note: there are several coyotes in the area. Be sure to keep an eye on your pets.

This was our first KOA experience and we were very pleased. Hosts were friendly, our site was small but well kept. This KOA has a pool, mini golf, dog run, and general store. Facilities were clean and in good shape. Close to the highway, so some noise, but not e Pugh to ruin your time. Best part if this KOA is being close to Colorado National Monument!! One if our favorite places we’ve ever been!

Lots of grass, shade, and a dog run! We didn’t use the pool but it looked tempting. Showers and toilets were immaculate.

My Mother always told me if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all! The spaces are nice and large and the employees were accommodating. 😂😂😂 30amp plug didn’t work upon arrival, we used 50amp, but the next day they were out to fix it. Other than that, most people here are staying full time, don’t pick up after their dogs, dogs run loose, weeds with lots of stickers everywhere, space had some spray foam insulation all over it we had to clean up. The spaces are paved and there are picnic tables. We used Passport America so it was only $14.50 for full hookup. Otherwise, we would have moved on.

Tent only sites. Ground isn't very level. Pit toilet ran out of toilet paper by Sunday. Lots of broken glass every where. No trash cans. People don't pick up after their dogs.

We had to change our trip plans and ended up here for two nights. Clean, friendly, nice bath house(no benches in showers), very small dog area. Typical KOA. Close together but well maintained.

The men's portion was nice I had a good shower laundry was good the dog run was nice hot showers. My wife has a slightly different review for the showers. They sucked. Plugged drain, no water pressure. Over a nice stay.

We were looking for a campsite away from the business along the river and were So excited to have found this gem. We drove through lower onion creek first (right on the river but other than that, very blah from what we saw, and some lady had her two dogs running around into other peoples sites off leash so that was an immediate No for us). thankfully they were full so we found upper creek instead. These sites were spacious, and the views were unbelievable. Lots of room between sites, we had site 3 which was ideal as it dropped down into some scrubby trees that provided much needed afternoon shade. There’s a horse trail right behind the campground that was perfect for walking our dog along, and the site had plenty of room for her to explore without bothering anyone else.

Typical KOA. As expected. Close sites. Level ground. Nothing super memorable but I appreciated having a couple dog runs available plus a playground the kids really enjoyed. Plus the grass patches next to each site were a great addition when it could have simply been all gravel like some other grounds we’ve been to.

Segiun ( the Dog) and I were up there June 28, all by ourselves.....it was AWESOME. We drove in from the South what a beautiful drive. There are a lot of camp sites before you get to the real campsites and you do need a high clearance vehicle to get the last little bit. Yes it rained and hailed while we set up camp...but who cares.The views are spectacular the rain with the sunset you could ask for better. I was a bit nervous about he cliff and the dog, I had this image of him chasing a chipmunk or squirrel and going over the edge....it's one heck of a cliff! The morning light on Monument Valley is something to be experienced. Seriously great place. The toilet is a short walk and clean. We drove down into Moab and wished I was back up there the entire time, the amount of people was mind boggling. OH I forgot the stars...make sure you do a little star gazing.

Stopped here for the night before skiing at PowderHorn. Campground was easy to find, clean and quite. We stayed in a tent site and were the only ones there! There is a portapotty at the entrance of the tent sites but a shower/bath house in the main are which is just a short walk. The bathroom was very clean and showers hot. There is a fenced in dog run area that my pup enjoyed.

Newly opened and not packed yet. No trees for shade, but they have planted quite a few. One of the do run areas is just weeds and a culvert that doesn't drain, so beware if you have water/mud loving dogs.

A full timer next to me said he was charged $5 for EACH of the two Amazon orders he received. Ouch.

The I-70 noise goes on day and night of course, but it's so hot so I've been inside with the AC on and can't hear it.

The staff is quite polite.
