Peaceful and Pristine
A clean and quiet place. We stayed overnight and will stay again. The facilities were great

The Campground at Big B’s Delicious Orchards
No amenities but next to orchard, restaurant, activities
Campsites are a small piece of grassy area next to a pond or on an outside loop. Portable toilets only. Traffic noise at night. But was fun being next to a working orchard, a great restaurant with delicious food and a little store. Lots of outdoor seating. There are also special events on the property such as festivals, concerts, etc. it’s rather fun.

Palisade Basecamp RV Resort
Perfect Fall Camping Destination
The resort may not be busy in the fall, but that just adds to the appeal of staying this season. We arrived late, but check in was a breeze, and we were able to make ourselves comfortable. The bathhouse is heated and in pristine condition. On property their is a very lovely peach orchard, a dog run, and river access which would be ideal for the summer months. The camp sites are close together but have good trees and even plugs! The cabins are comfortable, with heating, mini fridges and microwaves.
And the best part: Colterris winery is right next door to walk to.

North Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
High Altitude Beauty
As locals, we love the North Rim of BCNP. It's closed from November through April/May. Can be surprisingly cold in May with temps below freezing. Lots of interesting fellow campers as many are big wall climbers from all over the globe. The nature trail in the campground offers nice viewpoints. The trail to Explanation Point is a level and very beautiful 5k hike, BUT no dogs. Same goes for Green Mountain trail past the point. The SOB trail starts from the road near the campground and is a difficult route dropping a few thousand feet, rocky, and steep with poison ivy to greet you near the bottom. Rewards are in store for the hearty hikers with great trout fishing a super river access. Campground is tight for spaces, some are not pull through. Gravel biking during winter closures on the roads in BCNP is full of wildlife and wonder.

Elk Creek Campground
Pvt. Campground North of Newcastle CO
Stayed in RV site along creek, which was quite nice with the sound of the water. Unfortunately, sites were not roomy, were close to each other and close to the campground road. Dogs next spot over were not restrained and roamed freely, in front of campground staff. Children wandered around. Smokers walked right by van and smoke smell came right in.
Showers and restrooms were decent and clean and had hot water but centrally located so a bit of a walk.
Food aside: Ate take out from pizza place in town, which was good. Breakfast was sausage and instant egg burritos. Yum.

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.

Amazing amenities, hilly tent pads
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.

Riverbend RV Park & Cabins
Riverbend Montrose Colorado
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!

Grand mesa is a special place
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.

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!

Glenwood Springs West/Colorado River KOA
Inconsiderate Staff
The KOA Glenwood Springs campground offers pleasant amenities, however, there are concerns regarding the maintenance and the professionalism of the staff. Multiple guests, including ourselves and fellow RVers, encountered rudeness characterized by a lack of care, communication, and basic courtesy. This experience with the staff significantly impacts our decision to not return to this location.

Lovely little campground just off the Interstate
We spent a night here and were very pleasantly surprised by the facilities and the warm welcome from the staff. The campsites are small in size, but very clean. The creek running through the campground is beautiful. We would cheerfully stop in again. Very nice looking little cabins are available should you have forgotten your camping equipment. But they do ask you to bring your own linens!

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.

Highline Lake State Park Campground
Update after talking to ranger
We 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.

Highline Lake State Park Campground
Unexpected green oasis
Wow. 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. - SSarScout
Palisade Basecamp RV Resort
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!
Erika P.TravelerElk Creek Campground
Wonderful campground with lovely staff, trees and creek!
Let's shout it from the rooftops this place is Amazing! Nestled in a fabulous forested valley in Newcastle. Far enough away from the bustle of the city and the sounds of traffic and highway. Yet close enough for all your adventurous wants and needs! The creek that runs thru the campground is a pure delight to dip and play in. Whether you select a riverside site or not the creek is accessible to all visitors! It's been a blessing to call this place home for the time we are allowed! Thank you Elk Creek Campground for all the amazing support and help you provided! Shane, Lisa, Steven, Mark, LOGAN, Terry and Tom, thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into this glorious place!

North Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Dry forest
First come, first serve. About 15 sites, close together. 16 USD fee (honor system). Fire pits, picknick tables, bear box (saw black bear cub hanging around one afternoon). Lots of yellowjackets which was an annoyance. Chasm trail starts from camp site with amazing canyon views. Stargazing at night. Water available in summer.

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.

Quick stop
Pulled in after Crested Butte - mountain bikes in Loma area which was great. Headed to MOAB. Green, nice lake with a breeze.
Joshua D.GuideNorth Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Peaceful Forest
This campground is at the North Rim of the canyon in a Pine and Juniper forest. It was rather quiet and peaceful considering most sites were occupied. I don't remember hearing anything at all. The trail to the rim is right behind the campground. It's a nice and cool spot during a hot summer. Great clear skies for stargazing.

Everything right
Such a peaceful campground during shoulder season. The river and pond are were very nice to sit by and observe nature. The Canada geese families were fun to watch. Park is very well maintained and most sites are decent size. We camped next to the pond. Staff very welcoming. Propane on site and they fill. Laundry facilities a bit small.
