It's a one nighter when you are passing through.

The camp sites are comfortable enough, but being a literal stones throw from an Interstate makes it feel like a commercial campground.  It's a bit run down and there is a nearby burn (not the parks fault) making it a bit second tier as far as Colorado State Parks go.  I have been to the Fruita location of James Robb as well which is a much better destination, but if you have to stay here a night, bring a tube and a couple beverages.  Float the Colorado River, and be a good citizen.  I picked up more trash here than any other park I've attended so far in my 30+ years.

Great for campers that want a tent, bag and fire.

All of these campgrounds are walk in, tent only, and well treed.  They are a bit of an uphill hike from the river so a very basic mountain bike can make getting to and from camp as well as around the rest of the park is a good luxury.  Each campsite has a fire pit, a groomed tent pad, though many can fit multiple tents as long as they aren't multiple 100 sq footers.  There are bear cabinets at every site and they easily fit all of our cooking, cleaning, bathroom and other odorous gear, plus a 36 qt cooler.  Reserving a site reserves you a parking spot as well.  There is competition for parking because this part of the river is a prime fly fishing spot.  There are a couple ponds nearby that are heavily stocked with hungry rainbow trout.  We saw quite a few kids leave with their limit of 9-11" stockers.  There is also a fish cleaning station at the bathrooms that is VERY well equipped making this an ideal place to teach kids to love fishing and the cooking/cleaning/conservation responsibilities that go with it.  If the bugs are hatching, bring a deterrent/repellant!
