"The campground itself was nice with the only detracting factor being the highway next door."
"There is a daily entrance fee of$10/vehicle in addition to the CG fee, so factor that in. There is quite a bit of road noise from I-70. There is a nice trail along the river too."
"Easy to get to and only about 30 minutes or so away from Grand Junction. We were able to get our T@G trailer to a good spot, but the road to the different camping areas can be a bit rocky."
"This is a great canyon to camp in with Grand Junction just a short drive away. Some spots are best reached with a AWD or 4WD vehicle, and the road is right there."

The cons - very exposed - zero shade, little commercial within"
LegendMonument 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!
TravelerI'm using delivery apps to travel across the country and was looking for a place to camp near Grand Junction so I could work there for a few days. I found the Zinger Farm. The site itself is nothing too special; just an open field surrounded by neighboring farms. But it has gorgeous views of the surrounding mesas, including the nearby Grand Mesa, and easy access to town and to the Colorado National Monument. No bathrooms, but cell reception is great and the folks that own it are very friendly.
TravelerHay Press is about 45 minutes easy driving from Grand Junction. There are three man made lakes, the Fruita Reservoirs, one of which is dried up. They’re not used for town water anymore and I’m not sure if they’re stocked with fish or not, but the camping spots were easy to navigate and plentiful. The temperature is about 15 degrees cooler than Grand Junction and there was plenty of wildlife. Good spot for a quick get away. Some hiking trails, not much 4 wheeling.
ScoutWe enjoyed this spot! Easy to get to and only about 30 minutes or so away from Grand Junction. We were able to get our T@G trailer to a good spot, but the road to the different camping areas can be a bit rocky. Great weather in May, very comfortable boondocking. Closer to the road and other campers around, but surprisingly quiet. Beautiful in the evening and in the morning.
GuideLoved 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.
GuideJune 2023. Road easy to access right off of rt 50. Came down from Grand Junction and it was an easy ride. The dirt road was easy for our 2wd Toyota. The Potholes area had the cleanest vault toilet and well maintained sites. It seems busier than we wanted so we drove further down the road about 1 mile and many more sites on both sides of the road. We pulled to the right and there was a spot for bigger campers and about 10 sites with 2 more across the street between the canyon walls. Couldn't get down to river as most of the river front area is private property. Even at potholes you would need to scrabble down the walls toget to waters edge. What the spot to ourselves for a Friday-Sunday. Bring tons of water as there is no water access. We didn't explore further down the road, but on the map there is a trail head further down. See pics of the road and our sites and enjoy!!
GuideI came out here for a night's rest while on a trip, it was very remote, and slept well. I came in late in the night, but woke up to beautiful views of the surrounding area. Even though this is off the highway, you won't feel like it. You'll see some lights from the highway, as well as some light pollution from Grand Junction, but it worked perfectly to camp here. I didn't see any one else while I was out here for the night and morning I was here.
BLM road warning: The road in definitely isn't meant for a stock Prius, but it's definitely doable if you're very careful. :) Didn't quite bottom out, but got close a few times, lots of rocks as BLM roads usually have.
Directions help: I followed my Google Maps to the coordinates, and it lead me a weird way. I'd recommend reading the directions on this page to get to the intended camp site. I took a wrong turn, however, I ended up at a nice little dispersed camp site. My mistake was I took a left at the fork, instead of a right. Either way has camping spots, incase the original site is full. :)
TravelerWe looked at the reserve sites in B but most of them were taken or had a one night only sign on it. Loop A it's first come first serve and it had a couple nice open spots with a view. We arrived little late on a Friday evening, we live about two hours away, it was raining on our way up but stopped when we got there and a rainbow appeared while we were unpacking and setting up. there are picnic and charcoal only cooking stations at every site, our picnic area was a tiny walk down the hill. and from that area if you keep waking for 20 minutes you get to the edge of the cliff and it is spectacular views of the bookcliffs, Grand valley and grand Mesa. The night stargazing was pretty good although there is a bit of light pollution coming from Grand Junction We have a three-year-old so major biking or hiking is not necessarily an option so we went into town for the day, it was really hot at the campsite during the day. we explored Fruita farmers market, the dinosaur museum and had a really yummy lunch at Camille's café. There are also a couple little hikes right off the campground in the visitor center is nearby for more education. Fellow campers were kind of close but quiet. The bathroom was really clean with running water.
GuideAlthough this KOA is closely adjacent to US 50 as it enters the Grand Junction area, it is spacious, super-well-kept, nicely located for access to both Colorado River bridges (29 Rd. and Hwy 50), just a few minutes from charming historic downtown, and extremely close to great Asian food (Dragon Treasure), BBQ (Snooks Bottom), and Mexican food (Azteca). The staff are very friendly and accommodating, and the facilities are immaculate. We couldn't be happier with this KOA.
