The camping is reserved for a very small number of spots that are unique."

"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!"
"Our campsite was near the restrooms. They were vault toilets but very clean."
"The ground was exceptionally muddy so my subaru forester did some off roading which was a bit of an adventure, but otherwise had a lovely view and a great place to car camp."
"Don't go through the water crossing unless you have a lifted off road vehicle. The bottom is soft, sandy ground that's easy to sink into. We made it through with our truck, but ripped the bumper off."
"To start, we camped with a teardrop trailer, but once you pass the White River National Forest sign and parking lot for the babbish trail head, it’s not easy to turn around unless you find a campsite."
"My first winter camping trip in Colorado."
"Loved the location. Right on the Colorado River. Bike path is right out the front. We rode it from Aspen down valley and right back to our campsite. A feature we really liked.
The sites were tight."
"We’re Van camping in the lower campground, 50’ from the banks of the Colorado River. Electric & Water. Cabins avl. On the River and upper grounds."
"There are two off-road trails coming off the parking area and you can see the water and people paddle boarding at the beach from the Sites"
"Super fun view of the lake! I was surprised there was space during the 4th of July"
ScoutThis campground has a variety of sites including some pull-through spots suitable for trailers. The campground is nestled into the south side of the canyon so between that and all the firs, many of the sites are in shade until late in the day or just about all day. There has never been a host present the times that I have been here. Bear activity is not uncommon.
The campground is near the trailhead for a couple of beautiful hikes. The Dark Canyon trail runs along Anthracite Creek and is particularly lovely. There are also some sweet tent sites along the trail for backpackers. Be aware that people do bring horses on these trails so if you have dogs off leash you need to have good recall. Also the area is wetter than many places in Colorado so expect some mud on the trail in the Spring, and from May into mid-June there are ticks.
LegendAbsolutely requires four-wheel drive for two and a half miles of extremely rough unpaved road that goes up a thousand feet. Beautiful views and some shade but no break at all from the wind which can be intense up here. BLM land and other than some broken glass left by idiots it is very clean but this is completely a self contained location. I don't regret bringing my travel trailer up here because it's meant rough roads but had I known the road was this rough I wouldn't have started so be ready for 3 miles an hour until you get to the top of the hill.
GuideI loved the views from our campsite here. We parked at the smaller site on the drive to the left. It was on the right side and had a fire pit. The road was super rough to get up that far, but it was worth it. It was also a scary drive because of how close you are to the side of the mountain. No amenities other than a fire pit. We were able to find this spot on a Saturday night in July.
GuideWe had some incredible views from our campsite. The drive up was very rough and a little scary being so close to the side of the mountain. This site is just a little bit past the overlook. We were able to find a small site to park at and set up on a Saturday night in July. There was a fire pit but a fire ban in place so we couldn’t use it. Other than that there were no amenities. I loved feeling one with nature here.

GuideNothing spectacular, but nice and cool in the evenings. You better be ok with camping in cow grazing lands and all that comes with that. We were completely alone outside a deer and a few birds.
ScoutThere were two other campers when we arrived. There’s plenty of open areas and few more shaded. Great spot to kayak or paddleboard. We went back down the road we camp up though and found more secluded sports all along it.
GuideEasy drive up out of Redstone. All along the road are pullouts along the way. Great hearing the water all night long. At the end of the paved road there is room to turn around if you don’t find a suitable spot for the night.
GuideDirt pull off from highway. Road noise. A few level spots. Only stayed overnight. If I can through again, I’d be more likely to stay at a rest stop.
That said, a decent view of a river.
ScoutWith very few camping options nearby this was a welcome location only 5 minutes from town. I tent camped at site 68 which was up a hill a good distance from the restrooms and showers, but a port-o-potty was located closer for more immediate needs. The showers were a nice add with hot water and flush toilets.
