Nice View But Not Much More

We stopped over at this spot unexpectedly out of desperation (screaming baby :-)). We got in at around 5 on a weeknight and had no problems getting a spot. Maybe we were lucky, but not sure.

The road noise here was sort of an issue for us. This place is right by highway 70.

There were pit toilets, and that’s it. Fine for renters or dry campers.

Close to the road

This is a great stop for a night. The campground is right on the river which is very nice but it's right on 70 so the road noise is pretty loud all night. Coming from a city that's not a huge deal for me. We had cell reception, dumpster and vault toilets available

Good for a night close to I70

Quick stop near I70. We arrived late at night, ~9pm, got probably last spot. A lot of space for a car and tent, very private areas. This campsite offers quite spectacular views in the morning compensate a bit noise from the road.
