Several RV campgrounds operate near Lazear in Colorado's Western Slope region, offering options from full-hookup parks to seasonal sites for large rigs. Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park features full hookups including 30/50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections across its 6 sites. RVs up to 40 feet find accommodation at Cedar Creek RV Park in Montrose, though sites are positioned quite close together. "Tight spot and dusty but staff nice. Was relatively quiet, but seemed 5 ft from next rv," noted one visitor about Cedar Creek. Riverbend RV Park & Cabins operates seasonally from April 15 to October 15 with drive-in access and full hookup capability for large rigs. KOA Montrose RV Resort provides electric, water, sewer connections plus dump stations and trash service.
Advance reservations become necessary during peak summer months when Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park draws visitors. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area - strong in towns but limited at higher elevations where many parks sit above 8,000 feet. Most parks accommodate pets but enforce leash policies and designated pet areas. Winter closures affect numerous facilities, particularly those at higher elevations where water systems must be winterized. For big rig owners, checking site dimensions remains essential as several reviews mention tight spacing at older parks. Propane fill service is limited in the immediate Lazear area, requiring travel to larger towns like Montrose or Delta for refills.

Black Canyon Dispersed Camping
Very muddy but easily found a spot. Not crowded at all (granted it is mid to late October but still).
Calvin M.
ScoutCoal Creek Road Disbursed Camping
Road Pull-off Only
There's really only two spots further from the road, but that's still only about 30ft away. The rest are pull-offs on the road. Most of the suitable places are in the coal mined area so expect black dust everywhere. I would absolutely not drink from the stream, even with a great filter.

Kebler Corner
Excellent camping spot!
All the amenities you could ask for and right on the river! Very clean, very friendly staff. A camp store like I’ve never seen before- literally anything you can think of they have in stock from ice cream to full meals, fishing poles, sweat shirts you name it. Oh and as we pulled in we spotted not one but two bear cubs !!!

Good locale, nice amenities
Spots can be a bit close together depending on area. There is outdoor kitchen and I washed our dishes there, showers were very hot (unless someone has used it recently, it might take a quarter to get warm but we got showers in with 3 quarters), bathrooms clean & a bit small, clubhouse was clean and you can cook in it (did not look for utensils in that kitchen). Coffee pot was hot. Good places for dogs to go (although we picked up others' poops everyday so we doubled as poop fairy despite there being lots of poop bag locations). Had space with electric, water, and sewer. Spots that are closest to pasture (park parallel to its fence) have very nice views. Glamping tents looked nice, some 'tiny house' cabins (did not stay in either). Would stay again and probably would pick a 'view spot' next to the pasture.

Lost Lake Slough
Great!
When we went there were many spots just off the road. The road noise quiets down after 6ish.
Gerard E.LegendSouth Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
9-9-26
Black Canyon of the Gunnison Arrived about 1720, long interesting farm drive from Garfield area. Site 31 in Loop A, pull through, mostly level, bear locker, nice table and fire pit.
1/2” size gravel for site. Pit toilets are close and clean, not as clean as some of the national forests sites we stayed at.
T-Mobile no connection SOS.
The fire pit was about 1/2 full of debris. Ok to have a fire but we opted not to since the wind was blowing.
I think they should limit the trails between sites to keep it more private. Just walk on the road.
Bugs, bees and sweat bees. Water was available but limited.
Definitely need a day or more on the south and north rim to fully appreciate the beauty of the area.
The rangers who led the astronomers night were phenomenal. An excellent presentation of the stars, Milky Way and constellations.

McClure Campground
Nice place to stop for the night
Very nice, convenient campground, perfect for a quick stop on a longer drive though I’m not sure it’d warrant more than one night. Current cost is $16; there’s no cell coverage but if you want to pay by credit card the pay envelopes have a place to write your credit card info.

Decent Spot
Lots of spots but most them are all pretty close to one another.

What campers like
Riverside locations: Several campers appreciate the water-adjacent sites. "Quiet and relaxing. Had a site on the river," says Frank O. about Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park.
Shaded sites: Tree cover becomes important during summer months. "This campground is nestled in a beautiful section of forest with a pond on site," notes Katie H. about Mountain Time RV Park & Cabins.

Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch offers both indoor and outdoor pools. "We had such a relaxing stay at Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch!

Laundry facilities: Check before arrival as operation can be inconsistent. "The only issue we had with the campsite was that there wasn't a lot of gravel so when it rained our site got very muddy," reports Joanna M. about Black Canyon RV Park & Campground.
