    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    No privacy but showers and laundry

    Good spot to stop and shower/do laundry in between primitive camping. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit, the table has cover. Good cell phone coverage. Playground. Showers, laundry. Reservations (at least one day ahead) required.

    Pros: — clean facilities: flush toilets, showers (coin operated), washing and drying machines — easy access — right by Yampa River — sites are spacious

    Cons: — very few trees — no privacy at all

    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    Beautiful spot on Yampa

    The campground is beautiful, staff is friendly,you get a covered picnic table. The disappointing thing is the nice bathroom and showers are closed 10pm -6am, just a vault toilet is available during those closed hours. The have a path you can walk or bike that is a little over a mile but be ready the mosquitos are fierce. There are also small black bugs that seem to out also.

    The Campsite that Lives in Infamy

    Enough reviews don't mention mosquitos that I think it must just depend on the day you go. That said, I went with one of my best friends a few years ago and we tell the story of our experience at parties. I go on multi week long road trips and have camped all over the country. So believe me when I say the mosquitos here, depending on the day, are utterly out of control.

    The drive was beautiful but as soon as we got out, we could tell something was wrong. We put on double layers of clothes, bug spray and bug bracelets, and stood in the smoke of the fire we started; the bugs could not care less. We gave up on setting up tents and ran into the car and about 50 mosquitos followed us inside in the second it took to open the doors. We spent at least an hour trying to smack them all, literally covering the walls of her car in blood. After attempting to sleep in the sweltering car that night, we headed out of there before the sun rose. After it all, more of our skin was covered in bug bites than not. I've never seen anything like it.

    It seems like an amazing spot when it's not suffering a plague. I could never roll the dice and try again though.

    Be prepared and rewarded with a great spot

    First and foremost I’d recommend only cars and suvs with 4wd to make the trek down to this spot. The road here is not made for bigger camping rigs or anyone that’s lacking experience driving off-road.

    With that said if you make out here you’ll find a smaller CG w/ toilets that area clean, water during warmer months, as well as Rangers/hosts nearby that make sure everything is up to snuff.

    Depending on what time of year you go and which site you choose could determine if you get A. Roasted by the sun and heat with no shade or B. Destroyed by mosquitoes.

    I’ve camped at hundreds of places and this spot is one of the worst I’ve been to as far as mosquitoes are concerned so prep yourself for that.

    The location is great for hiking and exploring as well as having the river for some fun.

    I will advise to be lion and bear aware down here also. During my hike with my son we came upon a Lion kill site (deer) and then on a later hike had clear fresh tracks of a lion so they’re definitely active here and if hiking the river it gets pretty desolate

    Most sites are drive in but there are a couple walk in sites as well. It’s about 50/50 whether you’ll have shade or not at your site.

    First come first serve which IMO is a bonus and it’s such a haul to get here that usually you’ll have at least one site opened. When we came through here we got the last site so maybe it’s getting more popular as of late.

    Each site has the usual table and fire ring but please check fire restrictions prior to lighting one up as this is a dry area and we want to make sure we do our part to keep it here.

    Also PACK OUT ALL TRASH 👌🏼

    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    Huge, lots of RV spots

    We got to the campground after closing time for the park headquarters and visitors center and so just had to drive the many loops to find a spot. The main area has power and costs more, but after walking around some we found what we wanted, tent sites. There are only a few, they are powerless, and there is a barbed wire fence between you and the Yampa River, but there was trees and quiet and plenty of elbow room. We will go again but aim straight for the tenting sites next time.

    Very Nice Spot with Lots of Shade

    This was a great weekend trip to Dinosaur. I had reserved a camping spot near the river with plenty of shade. It was an excellent choice (learned my lesson on shade in Sand Dunes). The spot was clean, but a little close to the road. There was not a ton of traffic, but privacy left something to be desired. The shade was a welcome relief from the hot sun in this area of the country. I was less than impressed with the dishwashing facilities (or lack there of). The bathrooms were also less than optimal. They got dirty fast and were filled with flies. Overall it was a nice level site with everything that you needed. The ranger presentation was also very nice.
    Sleeping there was great. Perfect temperature with very little humidity. The river brings in cool breezes at night so it was wonderful. The park overall is not my favorite, but it was still a lot of fun. I would recommend it for kids for the Dinosaur angle alone. Also since the day hiking is minimal it gives you plenty of time to just hang around and go for a scavenger hunt or play a game.

    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    Very nice road side stop

    Very close to US40, making it a great place to stop for the night while traveling. Sites are fairly close with little screening. Continuous Highway noise. Sun shelters. It is along the river which is nice. River access.

    Yampa River Headquarters Campground — Yampa River State Park

    Exactly what a State Park should be!

    I'm not a huge fan of State Parks, but when it's time, it's time.  This one has showers (included in the fee), laundry, wifi at the entrance building.  The RV sites are a bit close together, the tent sites are much more private.  The RV sites have an awning-like structure with an enclosed side to the west.  It provides nice cover for the summer afternoon showers.  There are lots of mosquitos as it's in Yampa river bottom land.  There is a nice reservoir and swimming beach at a nearby state run park (your fee for camping at YRSP will get you into the other park).  We stayed 2 nights after dispersed camping for a week - showered, did laundry, battled the mosquitos.
