"The site we got had our door facing another camper's door and our picnic tables were next to eachother, so we didn't spend much time hanging out outside."
GuideLove love love. Will stay here again. Private enough but still see people drive by and watch people wraft the river right by camp.
TravelerThe road up is rough but totally doable with pickup truck with slide in camper. This campsite was nice and level.
GuideWe remember this area being over run with rvs and atvs. They camped and parked all over the place. Now it has a concession. The area was improved. Only thing now is the host won't enforce rules. Like leash, no atvs, folks parking in first come first serve and saving a spot for a friend ( against the law) and tents off the pads. The poor fish are totally harassed and left for dead on shore. People need to learn if they fafo they can lose all our public lands. That wonderful experience we all loved as kids? Gone!
GuideBoth areas, Castle rock, Gulch, and mushroom gulch have forest roads with multiple disperse, camping spots off the road in both open and secluded areas. Including areas where multiple vehicles can park and camp in the same central location. Roads continue for miles and miles with many camp spots. Some roads are well maintained while others are rockier and more rugged.
ScoutThis campground is exceptionally nice and the staff is amazing, but if you are in a tent there is a lot of noise pollution from the interstate and trains that come by at all hours of the night blaring their horns.
TravelerOpen spots Memorial Day Weekend. Well labeled from Highway 50 just before entering Salida. About or greater than 20 camping spots (but we didn't venture to the last site). Initial road was more rough but evens out as you go further back (we don't have 4-wheel but made it no problem). Porta-potties when you enter the road but no toilets for the campsites further back. Built in fire pits at each established campsite.
TravelerOnly about 10-15 campsites in the section but good area to camp. They've added portapotties to help with the toilet issue but they're only at the entrance. Get there early if you want to reserve a site!
ScoutLots of dispersed camping throughout this area. At this spot we found a nice area for a tent that had a fire pit.
ScoutVery popular spot for ATVs so it was pretty loud the entire time we were there, but overall not too bad - ended up finding a spot further down the road which I think helped
