"The campground is adjacent to the Colorado River, close to the Kauwuneeche Visitor Center and Grand Lake! There are plenty of bathrooms, and they have running water with sinks and toilets."
"It's on the (much) quieter west end, near Grand Lake and a good distance from all of RMNP's most popular sites."
$28 - $120 / night
"Getting to the campground and visitors center is easy as they are both right off the highways 41 and 14, but it is quite a drive to get to, in general."
"Fishing, hiking, off-roading, kayaking or canoeing, or simply sightseeing - there are big mountain vistas to enjoy."
$35 - $70 / night
"Took the kids camping in Colorado for the first time and we had a blast. It rained on us a lot but it didn't stop us. Took a great hike up deer mountain....stunning views. Can't wait to go back."
"Very enjoyable spot, close access to trails and entrance and exit of the park."
$36 / night
"Small campground next to three lakes. One lake has dried up. Beautiful Gould, CO. We also boondock camp in this area as well. Don't miss Lake Agnes. It's at the top of a mountain."
"I tent camped at Ranger Lakes. I was the only one tent camping among all the RV’s. I didn’t mind that the spaces were visible from each other since I was camping alone."
$40 - $60 / night
"They have direct access to the headwaters of the Colorado River. We visited a little late in the season (August) to catch many fish, but we still had fun. "
"A lovely wooded campground literally on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park - we even saw moose from the back window of our RV! "
$28 / night

$32 - $73 / night
"The entire campground is basically two loops next to the water so pretty much every campsite has gorgeous view of the lake and the mountains. I visited in July of 2020 and it was beautiful."
"This campground is well-laid out and has some great views of the mountains and Lake Granby, but there are few trees, which means little to no shade and little to no windbreaks."
$29 - $88 / night
"Our campsite was great and pretty quiet, kind of tucked away from people. The pit toilets were really clean. Very close to Grand Lake for dining."
"There is a boat ramp and dock
The campground is nestled at the base of Shadow Mountain with the Colorado River running alongside the campground. "
$28 / night
"The campsite has two entrances - one from the west passing North Michigan Reservoir and one from the South East which is basically from Lake Agnes Trailhead."
"There are lots of great activities to participate in very close by - fishing, hiking, 4-wheeling and more!"
$35 - $70 / night
"Firewood sold next to the entrance by the same husband and wife that have been selling firewood there for 35 years. There is a shed full of firewood."
"The spaces are large, but quite close to one another with few trees for privacy. Each site here is variable, with some open with no trees and others nestled in some mature trees."
TravelerThe road was a little rough for a pop up camper. More for tents
ScoutAnother beautiful stay at Sunset Point. Fantastic spot. Great beach and close to town. Thanks again to our fantastic hosts, Nadine and Mike!
GuideEasy road to get to the sites, but it seemed like a party place for Steamboat locals - smelled like pee, old beer, and dog poo. Some sites were incredibly exposed without shade or cover, but the Elk River fished great!
GuideI had to pick a site short of the posted coordinates just past where the road starts to curve away from highway 40. The road got quite bad for my small two-wheel drive SUV with a deep rut crossing the road. Looked like the site up ahead was taken anyway. I was definitely still within good view and earshot of the highway but the site was really nice with trees all around.
ScoutBusy but plenty of space for privacy. Walking distance down a navigable road to the reservoir. Limited amenities, but 1 bathroom and a trash site. Bears in the area. Permanent campfire ban taken very seriously, forest rangers around giving tickets for fire. $500 each. Don't be stupid! Take care of this beautiful place.
LegendNot at all a beautiful area, only a few places to camp and it's a bumpy road and the access points are not good, none of the sites are level, and if you want to go further on to the next dispersed camping area which I did not, you have to drive 10 Mi through private property on a cruddy Road. No cell phone service of any kind and very little wildlife and not much to look at there at all.
ScoutWe stayed in one of the pull through sites on the east campground side. Grass was pretty high, so it was a bit difficult to find a good spot to pitch our tent. Beautiful views, nice breeze that helped with the mosquitoes. Plenty of bathrooms. Good for boaters as well, although we only brought a kayak.
GuideVery peaceful spot with no cell service and 10 feet to the river. They also have bathrooms there. The only downside is that you’re very close to other campers and can see/hear their conversations
TravelerThey literally built this campground on the side of the mountain. It’s a pretty fun place. Be prepared to have to walk up steep incline to get to your campsite.
