"There isn't much level ground, but if you're able to park close to the river and parallel to it, you'll be ok. "
"Last minute ditch effort to find a spot after driving 21 hours. Nice and quiet from any traffic and perfect breeze from the river. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise."
"Nice pit toilets, like other USFS sites. There are garbage cans at each of the picnic tables. No water."
"There’s disperse camping everywhere around the trailhead, which gives lead to endless campsites. You can even have a safe fire as long as fire danger is low. The hike is easy going and very scenic."
"Found this spot after a failed attempt to head up medano pass, my rav4 just did not have the clearance and it got kinda sketchy. Nevertheless found a great little spot in a secluded spot of woods."
GuideGood Verizon signal. Not suitable for large rigs due to unlevel ground and very sharp approach from the east. No one here when we arrived on a Friday night. Another vehicle came in during the night. No amenities and no fires allowed. Collected a Walmart bag full of trash in the morning. Let’s keep it clean folks.
ScoutI recently camped near a couple who made the experience quite unpleasant. First, there’s the constant, heavy use of cannabis—while not an issue for everyone, it was overwhelming at times. They also had eight dogs that were continuously barking, making it impossible to find any peace and quiet.
The vehicle they arrived in seemed suspicious, too. The tag on the travel trailer says "in transit," but the plates are from 2018, which felt a bit sketchy.
And then there’s the woman, who was constantly yelling at her phone, seemingly about online trolls. This went on day and night, making the entire experience unsettling.
If you're seeking tranquility or a peaceful connection with nature, I'd recommend steering clear of this area if you see them camped out. Or call the police.
TravelerThis is a basic lot on the river with room for several vehicles. There isn't much level ground, but if you're able to park close to the river and parallel to it, you'll be ok. There was evidence that someone recently did some clay pigeon shooting here but there wasn't much activity when I was there. A local stopped in to warn me about some heavy machinery being moved down the road that night and another camper showed up a couple hours after I got there. Friendly guy, solo camping in his truck. I definitely agree with others, this isn't suitable for large rigs.
Very quiet night (The heavy machinery went through about 9pm), and I was treated to an amazing sunset as a bonus.

LegendIf it wasn't so late and stormy, my husband and I would have moved on... but there aren't a lot of options in this area anyway. This isn't like any "campground" I know--this was basically one open dirt lot. There was one poor tenter having a hard time keeping their tent on the ground during the storm, a few RVs that have seen better days, and a couple parked vehicles during my stay. The occasional car with a rattling bass would drive by throughout the night. But worst of all, the wind changed in the middle of the night and I woke up gagging from the smell of pig s***. It was bad enough we left as soon as the sun began to rise. No vault toilets and no privacy to be found here, either.
TravelerPlace was quiet, besides animals. Pulled over and parked for the night. It was chill no one bothered us. Shell casings everywhere, seems like we always wake up and find out we're in a shooting range. Saw some tracks, bear maybe? Kept the doors locked.
TravelerIt was just a place to park. I only went to sleep for the night, which was fine. I would not want to spend more time than that. I saw a sign that said no fire. But it’s right on the Arkansas River, so at least it had a pretty view
ScoutSecluded area with a pretty clean bathroom. The road is a washboard for a couple miles but worth it.
