What Guests Are Saying

Marshall Park offers a lovely setting along the Rio Grande with clean facilities and a helpful camp host, Melvin. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, starry nights, and proximity to Creede for activities like fishing and theater. However, some campers noted issues such as unusable picnic tables, lack of potable water, and occasional dust from nearby traffic.

The campground tables are unusable, bring your own table. There is a dirt road across the river, everything was covered in dirt. Other than that, it was a good location and great for watching stars.

We had a reserved site next to the river. The host was very informative, especially with the Elk Fire being close to nearby Lake City. The campground is quiet and very peaceful. Will definitely make a return visit.

We have camped here the last few years so we could attend the Creede Repertory Theater. Fun, fabulous shows. Also lots of fishing and hiking.

The camp host is great and has done well keeping the camp ground clean. Thanks to NFS budget cuts there are some tables that are badly warped. Note: there is a dirt road on the other side of the river, and quite a few knuckleheads driving fast enough that lots of dust will wind up on your site if you are next to the river.

The picnic tables are unusable as the seats are extremely warped with splinters as is the table surface. They need to be replaced but they appear to have been in this condition for many, many years. Melvin was a great host, and the bathroom is well kept. I did not see any water anywhere. Recommend exploring Creede which is just a short distance away.

What a waste of money. No water, no shade, picnic benches in horrible shape, sites, completely unlevel, bathrooms were disgusting and smelled terrible, no privacy, and constant dirt and dust coming from traffic on the road across the river. Noise day and night from the road traffic. With the rec.gov reservation fee and the weekend fee, it’s insanely expensive… For nothing. The host made a homophobic comment about the governor. Embarrassing. Nothing about the experience was good. Had to cut the trip early and found no way to request a refund even when I asked days in advance. This site is horrible and no one should have to pay for it. Shame on you wreck.gov/rec.gov. I wasted nearly $70 for a one night stay, since I couldn’t get a refund, at the worst campground I have truly ever stayed in.

Lovely campground along the Rio Grande River, but know that there is little to no shade. It is dry and a bit dusty. Melvin, the camp host, keeps the campground in top condition, even mowing along the paths to the bathrooms. He keeps the bathrooms stocked and clean. Bring a bucket to get water from the river to put out your campfires. There is no water available at the campground except from the Rio Grande River. We noted that our neighboring campers left their fires burning and smoldering when they left.

Unlike last year when we visited this year there is a camp host. There was a marked improvement in cleanliness of the campground and especially the bathroom. This is a great little campground and we look forward to returning.
