Best RV Parks & Resorts near Grand Junction, CO

October 15, 2020

I am not a fan of campsites .... would prefer wild camping and boondocking.  We decided to stay at Saddlehorn for a night and we were very impressed.  The sites are close to each other, however, there is enough natural landscape and trees to allow for privacy.  Each site had a place for 1 car to park, a picnic table and a grill for charcoal.  No fire rings.  The views are spectacular and we did a few hikes that were breathtaking.

The bathrooms are very clean and although we didn't need ADA accommodations, I was very happy to see a couple of sites dedicated to those who may need it.  

Loved this place enough to want to come back!  If you don't need RV hook up, its first come first serve.  We arrived on a Thursday, early afternoon and there were only a few sites to choose from, so plan accordingly!

Enjoy!

I'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.

We stayed in a full RV hookup site for 2 nights (power, water & sewer). Typical State Park with little privacy but there is a great trail along the river that we rode bikes and ran along. The main building has coin showers in the bathrooms and as well a little coin op laundry. The bathrooms closer to the sites are vault toilets but seen to be kept fairly clean.

Pretty campground with grass at the sites, a river a short walk away (there's a good portion of the campground with riverside sites, but limited for larger rigs). We were up by the highway, so the traffic was loud and the neighbors were fairly close. Not too terrible, and nothing a fan couldn't drown out at night. Could not park our tow vehicle at our site, but got a spot nearby across the road. We had some long term neighbors that let their dogs poop around our hookups, so the day we left was a nightmare. But that's not the campground's fault. They just need to enforce dog cleanup a little more maybe.

Nice place, near railroad track. Didn’t hear train at night. Walking distance to a few restaurants. WiFi, 3 bars on sprint, 3 bars on Verizon. Propane fill up on site, full hook ups with cable. Not much in way of supplies at office/store. Safeway and Walmart apx 1/4 mile away. 35.00/night

It’s your basic rv park, sites with all hookups, showers, bathrooms, laundry, good Verizon service, stayed 4 nights, did laundry, shopping at local stores,

This RV park had a great shower/ bathroom and laundry facility. Our spot overlooked the Colorado River and had great scenic views. We had no issues with the hookups even though the temperatures were below freezing. It's mandatory to have a heated hose during the colder months. The Wi-Fi had a strong signal and we had very few issues with lagging.

We 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.

The confusing thing was there are a few campgrounds in the area with the name James M Robb. We stayed at the James M Robb Campground a few miles east of Palisade, Co.

We stayed in the C loop. The campground was in great shape and was well maintained. If you are seeking off the grid camping this is likely not the place for you. We had full hookups (water, sewer, power). The area had nice views with the Colorado River running along the side of the campground. We did some hiking on trails above Palisade and spent time at the wineries, cideries, breweries, and distilleries in Palisade and Grand Junction.

I would stay here again.

Wonderful new rv park. Great for big rigs. Lot to offer with games and pool. We visited the Palisades and hiked in Colorado National Monument. Bathhouse facilities like a grand hotel. We also road our mountain bikes all around. Can hear highway noise during day but minimal st night.

Parking lot type RV park. Bathrooms and showers were nice and new. Pool, hot tub. Walking distance to Ice cream, bagels and variety of food.

This RV park has a good number of riverside spots, which are delightful. Lots of trees, and dense but not too dense packing. Biking distance to downtown salida. It is along the road, and on a slope-- it might be the case that the spots at the top, near the road, are noisy. Not an issue for the riverside spots.

Everything in this area is expensive. We were skeptical of tents at an RV park but they have a dedicated tent area that is right next to the river. The tent pad was big enough for one big and one small tent. The bathrooms are very clean and nice! We waded to the middle of the river and watched the sun set against a hill. Beautiful!

We have stayed at this State Park years ago and love it. You do get lots of road noise as it’s right off I-70, but all the pluses make up for that! Level spaces with fire pits, post BBQ grill, picnic tables. The spaces that don’t have tall enough trees have covers over their picnic tables. There’s grass between spaces and they are nice large spaces. There’s a small lake for fishing and appears to be open for swimming in the summer. You have a choice of full hookups or electric only. There’s an RV dump on site. There’s restrooms scattered throughout. And I didn’t notice it advertised but there are a couple of washers and dryers. There are a couple of nice handicap spaces as well. It is more expensive than most state parks we have stayed at. $37 plus a $9/day vehicle fee for full hookup site.

We did not know the water hookups are closed for the season when we arrived. We are paying for full hookups, but do not have them. If we had known this prior to arrival we would not have stayed here.

However, it is a beautiful and well maintained campground. We would stay again.
