Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rangely, CO

This is a great, clean RV park in Vernal. The location is 25 minutes or so to the Dinosaur National Monument. There are so many other things to do in Vernal. We needed more time here.

Loved this RV park! It was super quiet and peaceful. Meeker is one of my favorite towns in Colorado. Everyone is too nice there! Stayed for two weeks and will be back again. Laundry onsite, bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily. Was a few weeds growing here and there but the owners sprayed the day before we left! Meeker Airport is just across the highway so every once in awhile you could see cool helicopters, airplanes come in and fly away.

19 tent & RV sites. One site is ADA accessible. A bit buggy so bring the bug spray. This is the perfect place to stay prior to your Gates of Lodore river trip put in. No cell service that I remember & it's a long drive from "civilization" so make sure your car is filled with gas, is in good repair & that you have all the items you'd need for your trip. Vault toilets & water spiggot are great to have to fill up water jugs prior to rafting. No electric, sewer or water hook ups for RVs. No reservations so it's 1st come, 1st served. They have bear proof containers for anything with a scent. No trash containers so pack everything out. Only cash & checks accepted so bring $10 (although discounts for Seniors & when water is not available at the campsite).

This was a great campground just south (3 miles) from Meeker Colorado. Roads and lots were gravel but well maintained. Sites are packed rock and pretty level. Full hooks ups with sewer, everything worked great. Even had good WiFi that allowed us to work all week. James the host was very friendly and accommodating. Right along the white river, flowing strong in late May. Saw deer 2 mornings. Sites are well spaced out, site 14 had a huge front area next site was ~50 yards away. Occasional road noise, but mostly the sound of the river. It is a no-frills campground, which suited this week stay just fine.

Easy access and right on the river. Full hookups. Only wish they had full bathroom and laundry. Otherwise excellent spot.

This is a great small town overnight stop. It is on the side of the road in the last town before you hit no mans land heading west. There is power for RV’s and picnic tables. There is also a water refill and a park for kids to play. It is the last place to stop for water or dumping after steamboat springs. 

There are 20 spots open for tent or rv camping. The park is maintained but not manned on site, and payment was an envelope (honor) system based on what you used- electric, dump, shower, etc.$20 a night with electricity and$15 without.$3 for showers.$5 dump station use. Open 24/7 year-round. No reservations needed. Sites are first-come, first-served.

We arrived mid-October, when sites are first-come first-served and the fall foliage absolutely beautiful. Only two loops were open and a good number of sites, including all the riverside ones, were taken. We drove around twice before noticing the absolute gem of a spot A10. Perfect secluded very slight walk-in tent site amidst otherwise packed together sites clearly designed for RVs. There was maybe a 10 or 15 foot walk to a beautiful clearing.

Some rain blew in just as the sun was setting, but the skies opened up a bit later and were absolutely stunning. A true dark sky for real stargazing. It was chilly at night and Jack Frost visited, leaving a beautiful glisten for the morning.

We left to do the scenic drive and spot Petroglyphs. Everything was dried by the warm fall sun by the time we came back around 10am to pack up. We then hit the dinosaur quarry which was SO COOL!

Right next to A10 is the Riverside trail. It's a short walk to a flush toilet with warm water. Always a plus when fall camping!

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.

Campground is within the park. No showers, water or electricity hook ups. Bathrooms are available. Great views of Split Mtn. Plenty of hiking opportunities.

This camp ground is one of the best spots that I ever spent a night at. The scenery is breathtaking, it is very remote and absolutely silent. There is literally no noise whatsoever.

Downside of course is, it is not serviced. So no electricity or water if you are traveling with a motor home. Plus, the camp site is basically only walk-in and mostly designated for tents. With a RV, you will park at some sort of parking lot, close to the actual sites but not really there. That lot is also not big, so if there are a couple more people, it might be hard to find a decent spot for a vehicle. Also you wont have a table right at your spot, since only the tent sites have adjacent tables. However, if nobody is there, you might be able to park right at the river front, which is stunning!

Other than that, and if you are lucky like me - I have been totally alone, it is very, very beatiful. Particularly in October when the trees are all colored in yellow.

The park has several sites with electric hook ups and several without. Yhey do have a faucet for filling your tanks with water and a dump station. The bathhouse is clean and the shower is huge. All of the sites have asphalt, some are bigger than others. There are numerous mature shade trees and a couple of nice little ponds to sit by. You can also access the river with just a short walk. This is also the city park so there is a good bit of in and out traffic. Today, there is a wedding being held in the park so that’s going to be interesting tonight when the reception begins. The Main Street in town is definitely in walking distance. Rangely has a phenomenal golf course just down the road. Coach’s corner is a little bar pub next to the hotel and the food is excellent. I do like this campground but be aware that there are side by sides and 4 wheelers coming through it very often throughout the day and evening since the back street of town comes into the park. I would stay here again.

Stayed here one night, nice clean bathrooms and showers. Full site hookups.

Quiet and peaceful parking lot with electric. $25 for rv/van and $12 tent , dump station, well faucet, bathrooms.
