"Beautiful drive all the way up to the reservoir multiple dispersed, camping spots along the road fresh water source coming from the reservoir hundreds of feet away from camping sites."
LegendI have a front wheel drive Promaster and it wasn’t impossible, but it didn’t give me the warm and fuzzies trying to get up there. A lot of private property and all just very scrunched. Hard to turn around. Don’t recommend it.
RangerArrived on Thursday before Memorial Day weekend. There are a few campsites next to the river and additional camp sites up the canyon. All river camp spots were taken when we arrived at 5pm, so we continued up the canyon and found a spot with an established fire ring. This spot was nice for the evening, easy to get to and close to Glenwood Springs. The biggest complaint was the multiple ticks we discovered while sitting around the camp fire. Make sure to keep a close eye for ticks
ScoutTravel up a dirt road 4 to 10 miles and find many sites. It is popular in hunting season. Road closed Oct 1st to May 31st.
ScoutThe first couple of sites are close together, but if you drive further in, they space out more. Had a really good time camping close to the Colorado River. There was a porta potty there, which was very convenient. I was able to get a tiny bit of connection on my AT&T service.

GuideNot bad close to river. Ideal for tenting or small RV. Hiking nearby. 2025.05.24
GuideDue to tough road, the camping site was incredibly quiet. No services but plenty of space, Mountain View’s and locations near gurgling creek.
GuideSo worth the effort to travel the potholes to get to these sites. Almost no other campers mid week. Was cold at night but snow capped Mountain View’s and gurgling creek were beautiful. Later sites are better so worth heading up the road. No facilities so just be aware.
GuideLoved getting off the beaten path with our Bean Trailer. Perfect setting with views of snow capped mountains with a gurgling creek running next to camp. Some sites had cut wood, but no facilities to be prepared.
