Uncompaghre River Resort

Reservations are available at Uncompaghre River Resort, a full-hookup RV campground on the edge of Olathe, Colorado, with paved roads throughout and concrete pads at every site. The campground is divided into two sections: a north area with pull-through sites shaded by tall elms, and a south section with back-in sites roughly 30 yards from the Uncompaghre River. Sites accommodate rigs up to 70 feet, and each pad includes a large concrete patio. Electric, water, and sewer hookups are standard, along with WiFi, showers, and a dump station.

The river is the main draw. Several walking trails run along the water from the campground, and dogs are welcome on them. Shade covers most of the property, and grassy areas fill the space between concrete pads. The outer ring of sites has about 10 feet of separation on each side, which keeps things from feeling cramped. Reviewers consistently note that the campground stays quiet despite its proximity to town. The hosts and management draw repeated praise for being approachable and helpful.

Montrose sits 12 miles to the east and carries a full range of services. Olathe itself is a small farming community with a handful of restaurants and a local brewery nearby. No fire rings or picnic tables are on site, which is worth knowing before arrival. Peach Valley OHV Recreation Area and BLM Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Campsites are within the broader region for campers who want to explore additional terrain. This campground is restricted to guests 50 and older, making it a good match for that demographic looking for full hookups and river access in western Colorado.
