Best Cabin Camping near Grand Junction, CO

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!

We just stopped for the night. The host was amazing and helpful. 

The campground was very clean.

You could hear some interstate noise but not enough to keep you awake.

Had a hot tub that was actually hot and clean.

Stayed in lot E9, right next to the showers/bathrooms.  Which were new and very clean. Timer on the shower heads and lots of room.

Pad was gravel and level. Great patio and table.

The fire pit rocked.

Two sewers with 50 amp.

Internet was fast and we were able to stream and work at the same time.

This was a beautiful location right on the river and right off the interstate! The staff was very helpful! (I even got a refund from the site I booked online!). Close to Grand Junction and a great hike to Rifle Falls!

This was a great spot, it was hidden but there were a ton of people, they recently redid the back roads to get here and it was extremely busy (we had a rig pull up right next us at 1 am because there werent any spots). It is really pretty and close to Grand Junction. The misquote r pretty bad also, tons of spots, if there aren't a ton of people. Lots of lakes though and great fishing!

We typically don’t stay at RV parks, but due to some extenuating circumstances have found ourselves stuck in Grand Junction for a few days. We found this park and chose it based on reviews. It is amazing! It is so well kept up, has extremely large sites with concrete patios, picnic tables, fire pit, and lawn for each side. Carrisa in the office was so nice and very professional. The bathrooms are modern and clean. The grounds are nicely landscaped with bushes and trees. There is a pool, dog runs, laundry, play area, and pickleball courts. There is some traffic noise but not too bad - it is a city location after all. The privacy fences behind the back in sites really make it nice. We would absolutely stay here again.

General: Sites ranging from tents to vans to full hookup RV to cabins. Be aware all of these options are quite pricey, ranging from $54 to$107 (not including cabins– I don’t know the price of these). We had originally reserved a site last year but had to cut our trip short; we had the option of forfeiting our money or rolling over our reservation to any date in the future, which was appreciated. We reserved our site at the end of January via e-mail and it was confirmed (and a site assigned) via phone in early February. However, when we arrived, our reservation confirmation was not waiting for us on the board with the others. There was no one at the office but Billy, a maintenance employee, was very helpful and told us we could just set up at the site that had been assigned to us. 

Site Quality: Varies. In my opinion, the tent sites by the river (Site T7-9) are the best, but these are $67 per night. We were in Van Site 2 which has a short gravel driveway and lawn area, but the driveways between Van Sites 1 and 2 are so close together, that it would not be possible for both vans to have their doors open at the same time (and, of course, there would be zero privacy) Fortunately, no one was in the site next to us. Since van campers sleep (and sometimes cook, depending on the weather) inside their vans, it would have made sense to space the driveways apart with the grass area in between. Van Sites 5 and 6 mirror Sites 1 and 2. Van Sites 3 and 4 have more separation and would be more desirable but sites are assigned, not chosen. The RV sites are spaced a decent amount of distance apart. 

Bathhouse: Was very clean with plenty of stalls and sinks. The door to the handicap stall was broken but I assume that will be fixed. The showers looked very clean as well, although I did not use them. The hooks are outside of the stall, which could compromise privacy. There is a vault toilet for the tent sites, although it would not be an undoable walk to the flush toilets. 

Activities: There is a pool on site. There are nearby hikes listed on the website, but we did not stay long enough to check them out. Close to the small town of Palisade and the larger hubs of Grand Junction and Fruita. There are also nearby wineries. 

Other: There is a laundry room and dishwashing sink, as well as a picnic pavilion.  Note that the dishwashing sink was not located near the tent sites.

Although the facility was clean and well-maintained, the prices are high, and four of the van sites are too close together to make it enjoyable if all sites were occupied. Also, you will hear road noise from nearby I70 and a very loud train sometime in the middle of the night!

TRAVELER BEWARE!!! This park uses bait-and-switch practices. First, the pictures posted on Junction West Grand Junction’s website are not representative of the park. This park is filled with permanent residents, skirted trailers, and lots of“stuff” clogging up sites and roads. Second, confirmations and guaranteed reservations mean nothing to Junction West. We had a 3-night, paid-in-full confirmed and guaranteed stay in a standard pull-through site for our 35’ rig. Upon arrival we were directed to a small back-in site that did not allow parking for our truck and it would have been impossible to back the rig in due to all of the vehicles parked on the streets. Junction West was unable to honor our reservation without moving us at least once to different sites in our 3-night stay. This was unacceptable and forced us to go elsewhere. Junction West refused to fully refund us for their mistake. They did, however, refund 2 of the 3 nights and sent an altered confirmation back to us– BAIT-AND-SWITCH. The only bright spot in this interaction was the park we found as an alternative, Canyon West, was amazing. Canyon West RV Park is 10 times better FOR THE SAME PRICE as Junction WEST.

When I first came to this place, I wasn't sure what to expect. I fell in love with the property and the family whom was a part of this vast beauty! I never realized just how at home and in touch with the land as, I have been blessed enough to become a part of.

When you come here, you become a part of a circle of friends and family, there have been so many relationships to bloom and last its absolutely incredible!

This land was homestead back in 1906, the upper place has an existing cabin that was built in 1907, this is where the owners stay. There have been 3 ponds allocated and are spring fed. By the way the cold spring water is AWESOME!! There is also a communal fire pit, picnic area for all to enjoy. 

The Bunkhouse (Rustic Bunk) is a comfy little place to lay your head and sit around to tell stories. The little room next to the shower house is just absolutely adorable and a nice place for dreamland. Then the Cabin that a father and son built will be a treasure for so many more generations! Its the greatest, it is really a sweet place for a family get away. It is very comfortable, with scenery to absolutely fall in love with. The kiddos will have a terrific time too!

Decided to rent an RV and drive out to Palisade and stay at Basecamp during the early stages of Corona virus in April.  The campground's services were limited but this was a great place to stay to get away from it all.  The weather in April was beautiful.  The RV portion of the campground doesn't have many trees however there's a tent area by the river that is well shaded.

This is a beautiful area and we loved riding bike on the Fruit & Wine Byway.  The wineries were closed so we had to call ahead to get a few bottles to enjoy.

This place is amazing and is truly a great basecamp. Beautiful views in every direction. Super clean and close to endless Colorado adventures!

The Staff is Happy! Located on the Colorado River. Winery’s & Distillery’s close by. Clean restrooms & laundry, a general store with just about everything you might have forgotten.

Great find... vineyards all around, a local brewery, tent sites on the Colorado river. The winery next door (colterris) is awesome. Small family owned great atmosphere. A truly amazing stop on our way east

The location is good since it by the wineries and the Colorado river but the sites are all all jammed in together with no trees.  The bathrooms are really nice though.  The Van sites have almost no space to put out an awning.  The camp store is very limited and the hours are not good.

This is our 2nd stay at this lovely resort and we absolutely love it. Large, spacious and very clean sites. Bathrooms/showers are large private and super clean also. Tons or amenities and very friendly staff. This is the perfect landing spot to explore everything West Colorado has to offer and even venture into East Utah with a short drive. Highly recommend!

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!

Clean. Super nice people on the phone and in person. Did I mention everything was clean, in good working order and ready for our arrival. The campground is beautiful, with the Colorado River on one side and peach orchards surrounding the rest. You might hear some traffic noise from I-70, and train whistles at night, but nothing you can’t deal with. Great place to camp. We’ll be back again.

This place has a lot of amenities. Pool, spa, playground, laundry, pickle ball, propane fill, recycle. Pretty impressive. And the views of the Mountains surrounding it are awesome. When the trees grow up, there will be shade, but not for a few years. They designed this place perfectly.

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.

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.
