Best Campgrounds near Palisade, CO

Overnight stay. Nice park park like setting with all the necessary amenities. Very flat concrete site with picnic table and canopy, fire ring, and gravel sitting area. 30 amp electric and water worked great. Excellent Verizon service as well. Nice view of distant mountains. We did occasionally hear a train in the distance, but it did not affect our sleep. Would stay again.

Not a lot going on here, mostly just a flat desert but that’s exactly what we wanted here and it was great. Very easy car camping spot, roads were gravely but not bad. Stars were amazing and it’s quite close to Moab.

Good place to go for a two or four wheel adventure. Lots of hiking and riding trails. Not very remote which has pros and cons. The area is very clean and well maintained. Simple, scattered bathrooms (no showers) at trailhead. Each North Rabbit Valley spot has a table and firepit with a beautiful view.

Amazing views with multiple points of access for overlooks. As typical of national parks no electricity. Quite campground . Utility sink and flushable toilets in B area . A and C closed for season during March. Would be 5 stars if had electricity. No showers. Showers seem to be less important the longer my trip becomes lol

Very well maintained campground with lots of trees and nice sized sites. They use flood irrigation to maintain the grass and plants. Its a bit of a drive to Grand Junction and the Colorado National Monument, but great if you want to get away from the crowds.

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.

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.

Stayed for 2 night in Sept 24 while traveling with my mother. The bit of AT&T was my mom's favorite part of the site other than the views which it had and a lovely trailhead out of the campground. 

Pros: The trailhead/views, flush toilets, WiFi(At least at our site faceing towards Fruita), trash cans, tables

Cons: Sites were real close together so it really depends on who your next to, for someone like myself with a roof top tent wished the parking spot had been a little flatter, Rec.gov reservations, sandy

The big con of this campground was we had so much difficulty with the Rec.gov app getting a site, but the very helpful folk at the visitor center helped us get a site.

Would definately go there again, just beautiful and jawdropping views, and easy access to the rest of the monument early in the morning

Came to Grand Junction to get my new Timberleaf Teardrop camper and stayed here three nights. Was so thankful that there was still running water and working toilets! Site was slightly sloped but not bad. Super quiet at night. Saw the Milky Way last night! The park is amazing and offers great views and hikes.

Convenient ( quick off highway and close to Colorado NM) park but not much for advenure. Clean bathrooms. Sites were clean and well maintained and not too close together. I imagine it could be warm in summer. Friendly staff.

This campground is a gem as other reviewers have cited, BUT the road in is dangerous when wet as there is a lot of exposure off the edge. An AWD would be ok but still dicey on the downhills. The fishing platform is really a good addition for those physically compromised. Brown and rainbow fishing (rainbows should be immediately returned to the river). Very peaceful and out of the way. Can be used all seasons as it rarely gets snow.

Stayed in site 5 Loop A which is right on the river. Could hear and see trains going by occasionally on the other side of river. Sites are pretty well spaced out and have a good shade structure over the picnic table. Lots of flying bugs and it was hot in early July. Have electric hookups but still quite warm. Flush toilets were okay, nothing special. Also have to buy a CO Park Pass, so thats another $10 on top of the reservation fee. 

Food aside: Ate Kikkoman teriyaki rice noodles and Kalua pork, yum!!

Made camp here for 1 night traveling west. Many sites available both by the highway and down in the canyon. Canyon road was in good shape and even the largest RV could go down it. Sites were pretty level. No toilets, etc.
