      Tent camping is pricey but the amenities r almost with it. Close to black canyon and in town food and booze with in walking distance. What more could u ask for. A pool, they got that.

      Great Location and Atmosphere

      We had an amazing stay at Basecamp 550. The campground’s location is perfect, with easy access to Ouray, Montrose, Telluride, and other nearby areas. The amenities were excellent, including quarter-operated hot showers and laundry, restrooms, Wi-Fi, full hookups, and a clubhouse with coffee + tea, kitchen access, and a great workspace. Our site had a beautiful view and was right next to a ranch where cows would come right up to the fence. The communal fire pit was a nice touch, and the private, fenced-in setting made us feel safe and comfortable. They also offer glamping tents and casitas on the property. Highly recommend!

      Not bad

      We stated here one night arriving without a reservation. The office was closed and no one was answering the phone but we were able to register for a site online. That worked reasonably well and we had a quiet relaxing evening. The RV sites are all on gravel but there is a large grassy area near the office. The site is on the edge of town but was fairly quiet.

      Nice clean laundry and restrooms. Good base for exploring Black Canyon NP.

      Good Find!

      This place had great reviews and lived up to them. Nice and quiet area along the river with plenty of shade and grass. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Close to town but it mostly a small farming town with few shops or restaurants. There is nice trail along the river to stretch your legs.

      Location is all I can Say. Every direction you look is beautiful, onsite restaurant is great, drinks are good, sites level, might need a little updated showers and bathroom to match price. While area is a 10 of 10. Wish we would’ve stayed much longer.

      Nice campground with spacious sites. Concrete pads under the picnic table and fire pits. Water access nearby. Bathrooms were super clean and the showers were nice and hot. Laundry facilities available. We stayed on D-183 and had a nice view of the mountains and the lake. Definitely one of the best state park campgrounds in Colorado.

      Ok for over night stop

      Mid week after Labor Day. Site d92. Quiet. Flush restrooms are clean. Water spigots close. Power in site. Close to 550 for easy stop. However sites are small and close together. Somewhat level paved driveway. But site is terraced into the hill. 1 bar lte for T mobile If you were here for the lake it would rate higher.

      Stellar amenities, electricity at every pad, great showers, easy and very close river access.

      Really great spot but prepare to roll. All of the tent pads seem to be at a pretty wicked slope, including ours.

      Book it Now! This RV park will fill up quickly. Riverbend is a beautiful park in a fantastic location. What sets this park apart from others is the owners and camp hosts. The park's owners are exceptional; everything they do is done for the benefit of their guests.

       A few examples include oversized RV sites, WiFi, and they even love dogs because they have an off-lease dog park. The camp hosts here are fantastic; 

      Rob and Becky and Kirby and Robin are two couples that truely went above and beyond. They are simply the best! 

      We had such a great time we invited several of our friends to come down and rent a cabin, which they all did, and we had an absolute blast! The most amazing trip ever!

      One night on the river

      We came from 6 nights in the mountains and spent 1 night in our rooftop tent on an electric river site. It was the perfect spot in Palisade. The bathhouse was very clean and convenient. One side of the building had men and women restrooms with showers. The other side had family bathrooms with one toilet, one shower, and one sink. The bathhouse was air conditioned which was very appreciated! It was hot out!!! While we were sitting around our firebox campfire, staff rolled up on a golf cart with fresh peaches to try that were picked that day. That was a nice surprise! We bought one for later in our trip!

      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!

      RV and Test Sites in Palisade

      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 second time staying here! We met the new owners today upon checking out and they were incredibly kind and you could tell how much passion they have for all the upgrades they are doing to the property. We rent a tiny cabin when we come and it’s always clean and has everything we need. I love seeing the stars at night and being able to bring our dog. Will be back next year again!

      Great place to cool off in the river

      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!

      Beautiful Mountain Views

      We stayed at this campground for 3 nights over the 4th of July holiday.  The location is excellent and has beautiful views of the mountains surrounding it.  Town is close by and you can walk to it via the river walk that runs alongside the RV park.  You can watch the fireworks right from the campground.  The staff were extremely kind and helpful.  The bathrooms were clean and the showers looked ok but we never used them so I can't say anymore about them. The campground is dog friendly.  The downside is the sites are very close together.  Some of  the sites are a little larger so you would have a little more space.  We had a picnic table and electric, sewer and water hookups.  We had a river side site but we couldn't actually see the river due to the large berm behind the camper.  We were able to use our gas fire pit so it was no big deal that they don't allow wood fires.  They do rent gas firepits if you don't have one.  All in all this was a nice campground.  I would recommend it.

      Hidden Gem of a park

      This is a terrific spot.  Owner and staff are friendly and helpful.  The spots are level concrete pad with full hook up.  Most spots have shade and space between on the outer ring is about 10 feet each side..  It is quiet even though away from the highway but just minutes through town to Highway 50.  Several trail options to walk the dog along the river from the park.  No picnic tables or fire rings but that doesn't bother me.   Added to my must stay places.

      Great Views of Blue Mesa Lake

      The owners and family are great.  Very friendly, helpful and area information. Seems to be a community stopping place as there are so few places to get supplies.  The campground is very convenient location for the lake and rivers.  Nice service of coffee and a few microwaved food options. It has a nice game room also.  The views are great as the layout of the campground is terraced on a hillside.  The sites are all parallel park so your door can have a view of the lake.  The owner helps you get situated into the spot.  The parking is gravel and level.  But there is not much space between nose to tail other campers.

      Can't wait to go back! Vamos a regresar!

      Last May my husband and I stayed at their super cozy cottage equipped with all we needed and more. Breathing mountain views, walking distance to the town and wine tasting, hanging with goats and chickens, peaceful, safe and definitely relaxing. We are planning out next stay, we want to bring friends and family and experience other accomodations like the school bus or the tiki. The location is perfect, dark sky to admire the stars, and friendly hosts in site!

      Recomiendo a todas las familias afortunadas de vivir Denver, fuimos a un concierto en Red Rocks y nos aventuramos a visitar Sage View Ranch. El Rancho es muy tranquilo, seguro, y perfecto para campar! Los anfitriones son muy amables y las experiencias a su alrededor espectaculares. Nosotros somos de la ciudad de Minneapolis en Minnesota, y valió la pena el viaje, perfecto para escapar de la gran ciudad!

Excellent foodie town! Only downside to this campground is no wood burning fires!!! We couldn’t even use our Solo Stove! You can rent propane fire pits
