If you're looking for a quiet place to pitch a tent, pull up a camper, hang your hammock, or car camp next to Royal Gorge- this is it! We slept in our hammocks surrounded by mountains and trees. It was peaceful and a perfect spot to watch the sunset over the mountains. Just a couple minute drive from the Royal Gorge Park and the drive to get the the camp spot was gorgeous. The sites are FREE and away from each other for the most part. There are beautiful fire rings for the fall and winter, and a trail going out towards the mountains that we rode with our mountain bikes through. 10/10 would go back!
We stayed here because it's only a 10 min drive from the lake and we were getting up before su rose to paddleboard. We came late and left before the sun rose, but it looked like most of the RVers lived there. The tent spots were VERY close to each other and the water hook-ups were not working. You have to pay for the showers, but we didn't go into the facility to see how nice they were so I'm not sure. The guy who checked us in was nice, but I probably wouldn't go back if we went back to Page, Az.
Close to the highway, so that's nice if you're in a desperate situation which we were. We accidentally went into the wrong section so we got yelled at for that but I give it 5 stars because they didn't kick us out and they had a nice facility for a hot shower + coffee and donuts inside.
Very loud, next to the road and back to back camping spots with little to no room if someone is camping next to you. We got a discount only because we booked two nights, other than that it's WAY too expensive. This seems to be a chain campground because there are rules and restrictions everywhere. It was a clean, kept up with site with cute cabins everywhere so if you're not looking to tent camp , that may be better. The bathrooms were nice but SUFFOCATINGLY humid and hot inside. There are big communal sinks outside of the bathroom which we loved. There was a pool, but it was icy cold so make sure you're nice and hot first.
The tent sites are separated from the RV side so that's nice. We got there after hours and they had our paperwork for our site ready for us. It was nice and quite, away from road noise, surrounded by mountains. The bathrooms were nice and the water pressure was amazing. There's a pretty walking trail around a small fishing pond that we rode our bikes around.
My husband and I spent the last 9 days in the southwest traveling around camping. I would have to say this spot was my favorite spot of all. The actual South Mineral Campground was full, but there are spots along the river the whole way and plenty of them. If you're ready for some quiet, primitive camping- this is it. Gear up, though because the weather can change with the snap of your fingers. I wore 2 pairs of socks, 2 jackets, sweats, my buff, my hood and a beanie + I was under 2 blankets IN AUGUST! You're surrounded by mountains, trees, and the beautiful sky. Best it's based at the Ice Lake Trail head!
