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.

Grand mesa is the largest mesa in the world. For over 150 years cattle have roamed here. They need to go. It is time. The diversity and wildlife will slowly be destroyed and it is exponential. The climate is changing and places like this need to to be protected they are our arks. No atvs no generators no cattle. Would improve.the place.ten fold. And absolutely no logging. Ban all fires! We are about to lose it all including Grand mesa. Wake up.
TravelerWe 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!
GuideThe 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.
RangerWe still like this camp very much. But ranger says during summer and especially on weekends, this place is very, very full. So much they close off people coming. Beware if you like quiet camping after fall is best. Boating closes October 1 for bird migration. Geese winter here on frozen lake.
RangerWow. After miles of dry rocky gulches. Even the approach to the park is fairly dry looking. Then you arrive at the well wooded, green campground with green lawns.
Rv spots are level. Tents on nice green grass. Flush restrooms with showers and laundry.
Sites are well separated. Swim beach. Birding area.
Not completely full, but mostly so mid week September. 5G T-Mobile.
ScoutEverything 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!
GuidePulled in after Crested Butte - mountain bikes in Loma area which was great. Headed to MOAB. Green, nice lake with a breeze.
GuideThe Staff is Happy! Located on the Colorado River. Winery’s & Distillery’s close by. Clean restrooms & laundry, a general store with just about everything you might have forgotten.
LegendGeneral: Sites ranging from tents to vans to full hookup RV to cabins. Be aware all of these options are quite pricey, ranging from $54 to$107 (not including cabins– I don’t know the price of these). We had originally reserved a site last year but had to cut our trip short; we had the option of forfeiting our money or rolling over our reservation to any date in the future, which was appreciated. We reserved our site at the end of January via e-mail and it was confirmed (and a site assigned) via phone in early February. However, when we arrived, our reservation confirmation was not waiting for us on the board with the others. There was no one at the office but Billy, a maintenance employee, was very helpful and told us we could just set up at the site that had been assigned to us.
Site Quality: Varies. In my opinion, the tent sites by the river (Site T7-9) are the best, but these are $67 per night. We were in Van Site 2 which has a short gravel driveway and lawn area, but the driveways between Van Sites 1 and 2 are so close together, that it would not be possible for both vans to have their doors open at the same time (and, of course, there would be zero privacy) Fortunately, no one was in the site next to us. Since van campers sleep (and sometimes cook, depending on the weather) inside their vans, it would have made sense to space the driveways apart with the grass area in between. Van Sites 5 and 6 mirror Sites 1 and 2. Van Sites 3 and 4 have more separation and would be more desirable but sites are assigned, not chosen. The RV sites are spaced a decent amount of distance apart.
Bathhouse: Was very clean with plenty of stalls and sinks. The door to the handicap stall was broken but I assume that will be fixed. The showers looked very clean as well, although I did not use them. The hooks are outside of the stall, which could compromise privacy. There is a vault toilet for the tent sites, although it would not be an undoable walk to the flush toilets.
Activities: There is a pool on site. There are nearby hikes listed on the website, but we did not stay long enough to check them out. Close to the small town of Palisade and the larger hubs of Grand Junction and Fruita. There are also nearby wineries.
Other: There is a laundry room and dishwashing sink, as well as a picnic pavilion. Note that the dishwashing sink was not located near the tent sites.
Although the facility was clean and well-maintained, the prices are high, and four of the van sites are too close together to make it enjoyable if all sites were occupied. Also, you will hear road noise from nearby I70 and a very loud train sometime in the middle of the night!
TravelerWe were the only Sprinter van there & really nice bathrooms. We came for a wine dinner at Maison le Belle Vie. Enjoyed the morning having coffee before departing for the Farmer’s market. Great wine, peaches & relaxing setting.
TravelerStayed two nights in July, which was hot(!), especially because there is no shade at all. Got one of the best spots (river bluff); however no actual view of the river unless you walk down to it. A nice pool area and very nice bathrooms and showers (they even have family rooms which we appreciated a lot)! Nice and friendly staff. Be aware that it is truly bear country - saw one snacking around in the vineyard ;-) so remember to pack away your food.
ScoutA very nice camp ground for tent campers, very few people, beautiful scenes and within a very short distance of good hiking. Campground staff was helpful and we had a beautiful site right by the lake which is open to fishing and swimming. Be prepared to put a cover on your tent as intermittent thunderstorms come up out of no where. There is no cell service unless you go down route 65 a little more to the beautiful views of the valley.
LegendThis CG has two sections. The upper part is old school FS, narrow roads, small sites, lots of trees...not a good place for larger TYs or RVs. Best for tenters, Vans, small Class Cs. The lower section is much better for larger RVs and TT, lower cg area has less shade but closer to Ward lake. Vault toilets, trash and water spigots. $20/$10 senior. Run by a contract host. No cell signal and all sites are FF. Lower sites in sun are best for SL-RV
GuideStayed 3 nights in site 1. Nicely shaded with trees and green grass. Tree trunks spaced for hammock hanging. Lots to do with reservoirs and bike trails. The campground is a bit far away to carry kayaks to and from water.

It is always a wonderful time to get up to the mountain after a long winter!! This place is just so simply amazing, comfortable, lovely way to let all your cares and concerns melt away!!
GuideMonica Simpson Greco Thank you guys SO MUCH for letting us use your beautiful place, and the food was STELLAR!!!!!! we are so happy!
GuideWhen I first came to this place, I wasn't sure what to expect. I fell in love with the property and the family whom was a part of this vast beauty! I never realized just how at home and in touch with the land as, I have been blessed enough to become a part of.
When you come here, you become a part of a circle of friends and family, there have been so many relationships to bloom and last its absolutely incredible!
This land was homestead back in 1906, the upper place has an existing cabin that was built in 1907, this is where the owners stay. There have been 3 ponds allocated and are spring fed. By the way the cold spring water is AWESOME!! There is also a communal fire pit, picnic area for all to enjoy.
The Bunkhouse (Rustic Bunk) is a comfy little place to lay your head and sit around to tell stories. The little room next to the shower house is just absolutely adorable and a nice place for dreamland. Then the Cabin that a father and son built will be a treasure for so many more generations! Its the greatest, it is really a sweet place for a family get away. It is very comfortable, with scenery to absolutely fall in love with. The kiddos will have a terrific time too!
TravelerThis 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.
ScoutStayed two nights in late October 2021. Park was probably 10% full. Everything you would expect as far as amenities: full hookups, everything well maintained, sites are level. Weather was perfect. There is some highway noise, and we’ve had 3 trains come through over the last 24 hours. I have not had problems sleeping.
GuideWe have stayed here twice, both times with family. We came here to meet up with family in the area and other family stay camped here also.
The first time the campground was going after some award and everything was very clean and service was great. The second time the bathrooms weren't cleaned as frequently and the service in the office wasn't as good.
We stayed here in the fall and then in the spring so the weather was pleasant. There are no trees so no shade so in the summer it could be hot during the day.
Wi-fi was worthless so don't count on it.
Palisade has several festivals so check them out. We rented e-bikes from Rapid Creek Cycles and toured several wineries in the area, a great time.
I will be back here, it is a great place to stay while visiting family and exploring the area.
ScoutGot the reservation, but it dosen't include the $10 day pass needed. Just saying, kinda annoying.

Great BLM campground at higher cool elevation, 8400 elv. 2.8 miles of graded washboard gravel County road from end of pavement. Lots of aspen trees here. Friendly Host on site. Clean vault toilets, 13 sites, $10/$5 senior, 14d limit. All sites are first come, no reservations. Sites are mostly back in and not real big for larger TTs or RVs. Two group sites and a nice large picnic area loop sometimes used for overflow camping. Limited cell signal for Verizon, Att, but no TMobile. No trash and although normally water is available, it was not working in Aug 2021 due to drought. Update Aug 2024 visit..water system is working.
GuideStayed at Ward Lake Ward Lake is a nice campground that has two sides with about a half mile road, following the lake separating the sides. Not a lot of shade on the far side. Different types of fire pits, but all had trash left in them 😢 This is one place that fits the saying that if you don’t like the weather, wait twenty minutes, it’ll change. The wind comes from all directions through the day and the wind blowing off the lake adds a little more bite to the wind chill.
LegendPretty clean hot springs. I love that the pools are all spread out with well-maintained trails to access them. The farther the pools are, the more private they become with amazing views. I have never in my life felt more comfortable with myself at a place, other than here. I love that clothing is optional and guests are all very respectable. Such a relaxing and positive environment. They have many great campsites for tents or RVs or car camping.
Scout
Wow ! A lush forest surrounding beautiful Cottonwood lakes 1 &4 great fishing access good for kayak / small boats . (Many other lakes in the area)The rain storms were pretty intense ,so much standing water we could not find a good place to camp dry camping no hookup. Plus the fact we were camping on a weekend the camp grounds were full by Saturday afternoon. We had to opt for basically a trail head parking lot are to setup and wait out the storms. In two days we had 4 hours to get out and fish and walk around the area . The side by side and four wheelers were not deterred by the rain storms zipping up and down the roads, so expect lots of noise and activity in the area of the lakes.Due to the intense storms we were not able to explore as much as we would have liked other than that absolutely beautiful lush forest.
