"So much of Colorado is impressive, let me just start with that."
"Campground managed by the Forest Service. we went on the first weekend it was open, which was the weekend before Memorial Day. the campground has access to the roaring fork river, the flow was too high"
"Even though this campground is right below the highway, we still felt very secluded. We spent 6 nights camping all over Colorado and this was definitely the most beautiful spot we found."
"No water so bring in your own, or filter from the running stream/lake surrounding camp."
$32 - $166 / night
"Every year, my family (+- 10 people) heads somewhere in Colorado to camp over Labor Day. This year we headed up to Marble, CO and stayed at the Bogan Flats campground."
"Lovely quite campground in the woods next to a river. We stayed on the side away from the river and I wish we had stayed on the river side, but it was still fantastic."
$15 / night
"This was the first ever campground I went to in Colorado and had a blast! It’s right on the creek and where I stayed was right outside of the entrance."
"Side note: the bank to the river behind our site was too steep for us to explore it. Sites 3 and 4 have direct access to the river. "
$32 / night
"We came to this campground right after wildfires in 2018 decimated the surrounding area. Despite this tragedy the campground was lush and green, full of adult pine, aspen and spruce trees."
"The road around the loop is paved but the sites themselves are not. You tent peg into the dirt. It’s a 5, 10-minute walk to the reservoir but you feel a world away from it’s busy day visitors."
$15 / night
"This campground is super close to the Maroon Bells - Maroon Lake is just up the road. It has all the essential facilities - fire ring, picnic tables, toilets, water."
"It's small and sites are walk up, so get there early! Though sites are relatively close together, it still felt as though we had privacy nestled into the trees."
"This was a stunning campground tucked away high up in the mountains on Independence pass."
"Four wheel drive and high clearance is recommended on Lincoln Creek Rd. I wouldn't say you need it; there were people driving Honda Civics up that road."
$38 - $91 / night
"Location is great! A mile walk into the quaint town of Redstone, 20min drive to Carbondale or Marble (opposite direction)."
"Not very many trails near by, and starts to get cold early because of the valley.
I had no issues with being close to the highway."
$32 / night
"The heart of Colorado beats quietly and steadily at this campground."
"There's running water, and secure dumpsters around the grounds. Each campsite also has its own secure bear box that was large enough to fit my 50qt cooler."
"For those without AWD/4WD vehicles I would use caution/advise against since the drive to get into the actual grounds requires a bit of off roading including crossing a creek."
"Awesome valley with access to the creek. There is also a nice trail up the mountain that forks into two other trails."
TravelerI was up there on a Tuesday-Wednesday so it was very quiet and there was no one else at the site. It’s right on the water although there is a drop off you have to climb down, but it’s not bad. There were some cattle that walked through as I was setting up but otherwise very chill. All sites had areas for parking and fire rings. Driving off the forest road and onto the small road getting up to the campsite, 4WD isn’t required but highly recommended, it is a very rough road. High clearance is necessary. The sites seemed kinda close to each other however there are trees and stumps that define each site. Amazing views, light rain, and still my favorite forest.
GuideVery rough road with many washouts, but gorgeous area to be close to the gulch and ruins
ScoutThis campground has amazing views, is very quiet and has electrified spots. A perk is that there is great Verizon coverage, so if you are working remotely you have a great signal. Another good sign is that there are a lot of state employees that choose this campground as their home for the season.
TravelerThird trip to OBJ. Pro: nice beaches to wade, play with the dog, have a bevy; great hiking; compact, but not on top of each other; shady, and cooler due to the river; Tent sites 21-26 are great - shaded, soft ground, near the toities. Cons: Tent sites 28-30 are awful (exposure to elements, rocky, dusty, bugs).
GuideThis is by far the best campground we stayed at on our month-long tour of Rocky Mountains. Site was clean, freshly raked, bathrooms were super clean, and there was plenty of fishing, hiking, and space between sites. Fully recommend if you can snatch up a spot.
GuideEasy road for 2wd but incredibly busy throughout the day for day hikers. The trailhead parking fills up and everybody tries to park on the road - making for a tight squeeze in some areas. Not big-rig friendly, but perfect for pop-ups.
GuideThe campground is built on the side of a mountain so the individual sites are tiered. I could see it making a few people nervous to back in but it’s no big deal. The bathrooms are clean. Two toilets and two showers in men’s and women’s. Highway is loud. Quirky because there are old downhill skis nailed to posts, wagon wheels on either side of the porch swing I’m on. Duck and mushroom figurines. You get the picture. Built in tables on each site are nice.
ScoutNice place to camp. Lots of OHVS use campground. Walking distance to town of Pitkin. Definitely will be back. No phone service unless you have satellite service
GuideGot a last minute weekend reservation thru recreation.gov (someone must have canceled). Stayed here to hike La Plata which was about 50 minutes away but the closer campgrounds were only FCFS and full the weekend before. Our spot (19) was level and had shade. There was one open spot left on Friday night. It was pretty quiet and the host was attentive. It is close to the highway but that didn’t affect my sleep. Would recommend.
