The camping area by the river was beautifully designed so that each site enjoyed the huge pine trees and bushes around them. The sound of the river filled the air and the smell of pine was lovely. Very well kept with bathrooms for those not bringing their own and potable water. No electric service or cell service. The disconnect from the outside world was wonderful.

The lower loop (sites 20+) are much prettier than the top loop. Site 8 on the top is large enough for 2 tents/2 vehicles - plus it has a trail straight down to the river. The site does not have shade. This is a lovely campground on a gorgeous river. The river has places you can wade through to islands for great fishing, short rapids for easy tubing, and slow deep sections for swimming (some kids were jumping off rocks into a deep pool).

I've enjoyed camping here the last two years. Site 8 is within earshot of the river but is open enough for the wind to discourage the mosquitoes. I saw others have reported mosquitoes as an issue but we did not have problems.

This was our first time camping at Aspen Glade and it was beautiful and peaceful. The river is amazing and the campground was clean. We did have a bear encounter, which we reported to the camp hosts, but the bear was not aggressive.
We did notice that several reserved spots never filled but were tagged as reserved. This was disappointing because we tried to reserve the waterfront sites but they were booked. Overall, a great experience; we'll be back!

The Conejos River is a great river and the star attraction of this area. Aspen Glen is a gem of a campground.
