Pet areas are available at multiple locations, though one camper mentioned issues with "long term neighbors that let their dogs poop around our hookups." Dump stations are present at most parks, and propane refills can be found on-site at several locations. Cell coverage is generally strong throughout the area, with Verizon and AT&T providing consistent service at most RV parks.

    BLM #174 Road Dispersed Camping

    Best Spot in Fruita

    I’ve been coming to 18 road for years, but this is the first year with a camper (19 feet). Very spaced out, easy to get away from others if you want peace, right by excellent mountain biking, and pretty close to town. With a cell service extender and a hotspot both my partner and I were able to work remotely from here.

    Island Acres Section Camping — James M. Robb Colorado River State Park

    Spacious State Park

    Overnight stay. Nice park park like setting with all the necessary amenities. Very flat concrete site with picnic table and canopy, fire ring, and gravel sitting area. 30 amp electric and water worked great. Excellent Verizon service as well. Nice view of distant mountains. We did occasionally hear a train in the distance, but it did not affect our sleep. Would stay again.

    Fruita Section Camping — James M. Robb Colorado River State Park

    Perfect spot for Colorado NM

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Regional/Public Park — Grounds that are on public lands, and have a cost for entry and/or overnight stay. Ratings for this category are based on: Cost: 5 Allure of the park/lands: 4 Amenities as available (bathrooms, showers, hookups, etc): 5 Layout and privacy of sites: 5

    We have come to love camping in state parks. This park fits the bill of our now high expectations. Reasonable cost ($30 for electric & water + State Park fees), good layout with nice privacy, clean facilities (laundry, bathrooms, Rec rooms) and easy access.

    It’s about 15 minutes from Main Street in Grand Junction and very close to groceries, gas and restaurants. It is right off a main highway and has some ambient road noise but the biggest disturbance is the trains that come by around 11pm and blare the horns. We experienced it both nights, but after that... peaceful. We enjoyed the stars one night, but the glowing Taco Bell sign across the street was a little imposing. All good. The park is right at the bottom of the foothills to Colorado National Monument... less than 3 miles to the entrance station. It’s also right along the River Trail for cycling and walking/running.

    Each site is paved and level with a large gravel area with a shaded structure, picnic bench and fire pit. The roads are wide and very easy to navigate to your site. It’s a popular park for camping, so make reservations.

    Saddlehorn Campground — Colorado National Monument

    Great base for exploring the Colorado Nat'l Monument

    This campground is near the visitor center just off the rim road, about a 25 mile road from one entrance to the other. There are several hiking trails for exploring the Colorado National Monument; you could keep busy for a couple days or more, depending on how much you enjoy hiking. There is also rock climbing.

    The campground has 3 loops:

    • A: no reservations, open year round

    • B: reservations and walkup. If you have a reservation, your site will have a "Reserved" sign along with dates and your last name. No check in is required. Open sites have an "Open" sign.

    • C: doesn't show up on recreation.gov so it looks like it is also walkup. I think groups can reserve it. There are tent pads which I didn't see in A and B (but you can pitch a tent in A and B). Only tents and truck campers are allowed, and no generators are allowed in loop C.

    Bathrooms seem fairly new with auto flush toilets, motion sensor faucets and hand dryers. There is potable water at various locations clearly marked with a "water" sign. No electric, water or sewer at sites.

    There are a few "driveway" styles in loops A and B: back in/pull in, pull alongside and pull through. Picnic tables and grills are back among juniper and pine trees, and you can pitch a tent. I would stay in loop C if I had a tent...very nice sites.

    And the views are beautiful, especially at sunset.

    Palisade Basecamp RV Resort

    Wow! Love this camping spot

    Can’t say enough about this camp spot. Wow!! Pull throughs ... back ends available. Fabulous service from the owners. We planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying a few more days. Dog park, showers, laundry faculties, full hookups, general store, art, great WiFi (we had Verizon) ... and some sites are backed up to the Colorado River. Just amazing .... very clean. Would highly recommend!

    RV Ranch at Grand Junction

    Nice stop!

    We are passing through across country and stopped here over night. Booking was easy to do online. Campgrounds are clean and are easy to maneuver through with the map provided in our confirmation email. Full hookups provided on paved sites. Pull through and back in sites are available. There are two fenced in dog runs also at the campground for puppy exercise! There is a pool, but it is closed for the season I assume. Apple trees lined our site, so squished fruit can make a mess in your rig. We will definitely be back!

    Canyon View RV Resort

    Grand Junction, CO

    Loved this place!!! Very clean, friendly and have huge sites. Looks fairly new. It’s close to everything including sites. The mountains are beautiful. Night sky was jaw dropping. The resort was very quiet which was SO nice and relaxing. We didn’t use any amenities but I have no doubt they would be flawless. Grand Junction is worth a 2 night stay it has some incredible things to see. Good restaurants and we had perfect weather. It’s very pet friendly and even have small pet runs in some sites which we got. Nice dog park too. Grand Junction itself is very pet friendly.

    Cobbett Lake

    Heaven sent

    I arrived at this campground on top the Mesa. First I always thought the Mesa would be flat and by god it’s more than flat, it’s beautiful. The mosquitos were like mini vampires. Beside that, the Forrest and lakes were wonderful. The fishing was great. Lots of folks catching there limits.

    The campsites are hit or miss if you are tent camping. Some of them are on slopes and are only good for an RV however we did sent you tents in the pull through sites. We reserved sites 1, 9, 10, 11.

    Site 1 is fabulous, on the lake and great for tents or a pop up.

    Site 9 is a pull through site. Has one flat spot for a tent but besides that it is next to the hiking trail and the wildlife is all around. Morning deer to chipmunks :)

    Site 10 is very large for a group site per say.

    Site 11 was nice and held 3 tents.

    Each site has modern camp fire rings. The campground offers large wood bundles for $10.

    Cedar Creek RV Park

    Cute, quick stay

    This RV park is close to a bowling alley and several restaurants. It's great for a quick stay. There does appear to be many long-term residents, but they are separate from the retro campers. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.


Guide to Whitewater

RV sites near Whitewater, Colorado range from basic to resort-style facilities with elevations around 4,600 feet in the Grand Valley. The area sits at the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers, creating a microclimate that remains milder than surrounding mountain regions. Campgrounds in this region typically experience hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F from June through August.

What to do

Explore Colorado National Monument: Located just 10 miles from Whitewater, this scenic area features numerous hiking trails and rock formations. "We visited the Palisades and hiked in Colorado National Monument. We also road our mountain bikes all around," notes a visitor at Junction West Grand Junction.

Visit local wineries: Palisade's wine country is a short drive from most campgrounds. "The winery next door (Colterris) is awesome. Small family owned great atmosphere. A truly amazing stop on our way east," mentioned a camper at Palisade Basecamp RV Resort.

Fish the Colorado River: Several campgrounds offer direct river access. "Great access to the river for fishing," reported a visitor at Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park, adding "Hefty browns and wary rainbows abound."

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate having room to spread out. "Large, spacious and very clean sites. Bathrooms/showers are large private and super clean also," according to a guest at Canyon View RV Resort.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers receive consistent praise. "The bathrooms are modern and clean. The grounds are nicely landscaped with bushes and trees," noted a reviewer at Canyon View RV Resort.

River access: Proximity to water is a major draw for many. "The resort may not be busy in the fall, but that just adds to the appeal of staying this season... On property their is a very lovely peach orchard, a dog run, and river access which would be ideal for the summer months," shared a camper at Palisade Basecamp RV Resort.

What you should know

Highway noise: Many campgrounds in the area are affected by road noise. "You could hear highway noise during day but minimal at night," reported a camper at Junction West Grand Junction.

Limited shade: Newer campgrounds often lack mature trees. "No trees for shade, but they have planted quite a few," mentioned a camper at Canyon View RV Resort.

Summer temperatures: The area gets very hot in summer. "The temperatures were into the 100's in the area," noted one RVer at Monument RV Park, adding "Lots of grass, shade, and a dog run! We didn't use the pool but it looked tempting."

Wi-Fi quality: Internet access varies by location. "The WiFi was fair with speeds of around 0.5 MB/s. AT&T coverage was good, with 2-4 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 6 MB/s," detailed a Canyon View guest.

Tips for camping with families

Look for campgrounds with play areas: Some RV parks cater specifically to families. "They have a pool for the warmer months and it's in close proximity to a Dairy Queen, liquor store and other restaurants. They also have a RV storage space!" mentioned a visitor at Monument RV Park.

Consider riverside spots for entertainment: Water access keeps kids engaged. "This RV park has a good number of riverside spots, which are delightful. Lots of trees, and dense but not too dense packing. Biking distance to downtown Salida," shared a camper at Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park.

Check for family-friendly bathrooms: Private bathroom facilities can be helpful with children. "Showers and bathrooms were great. Bathtooms updated and clean," noted a visitor at RV Ranch at Grand Junction.

Tips from RVers

Site selection matters: Choose sites based on your specific needs. "We had a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site B02 for 4 days in mid June... The sites are gravel, with a concrete patio, a 'grassy' area, table and fire pit," reported a Canyon View guest.

Check satellite access: If you need connectivity, confirm satellite coverage beforehand. "There are no tall trees at the sites(yet), so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were 19 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna," shared an RVer at Canyon View.

Consider pad surface: Different campgrounds offer varying site surfaces. "The sites are level, but close together. Many pull thoughts, backs up to a field of goats that were adorable," noted a camper at Monument RV Park.

Look for propane availability: If you need refills, verify services before arrival. "Propane on site and they fill," mentioned a visitor at Riverbend RV Park & Cabins.
