About River Hill

River Hill is a popular campground on the banks of the Rio Grande River. Situated in a meadow surrounded by willows, campers come here to fish for trout, hunt and take in the beautiful views of the forested hills and rock bluffs. River kayaking and fishing are also popular activities, and the Rio Grande Reservoir is just a couple miles away.

Edie is the BEST host we have experienced at any .gov park - keeps sites clean & neat; enforces all rules (politely, but firmly) - we will absolutely return to this park - please let her be a host for as long as she wants !

Edit and Felix were great hosts and the campsite was one of the cleanest and well-kept I've ever seen. Plenty of wildlife to see and great hiking along a beautiful river. We had a great time and will definitely be returning!

Our Campground host (Edie and Felix) are the best host ever. Bar none. The campsites are perfect when we arrive. The toilets are like none other. Impeccably clean. Very inviting. We will always go there as long as they are Host there. The wildlife going through the campground is amazing. We even had a young bull moose come though our campsite. Totally amazing.

The camp hosts here are amazing!!! The only reason I gave 5 stars for them is because 10 stars wasn’t an option.

The camp hosts, Felix And Edith, are the very best that we have ever encountered. They have each campsite cleaned before campers arrive, the rest rooms are cleaned to almost Operating Room standards at least twice per day. They make campers and visitors feel like a part of a caring community that wants to make them totally enjoy their vacation. If necessary Felix and Edith can explain the rules to campers who choose not to abide by the reasonable guidelines laid out by the Forest Service. They are not confrontational but ask those who defy the rules to comply and if they don't then they are reported to the Forest Service. In one case a camper had a kidney stone and had to go to a nearby hospital and was not able to vacate his campsite on the designated day. They worked with both sets of campers to see that each were served during the emergency. What more can one ask of Camp Hosts. They check with campers each day to see if they are enjoying their stay.

Arrival & departure

  • Your reservation will be held until check-out time the day after your arrival. If not occupied, it will be forfeited without a refund.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
