Split Mountain Group Campground

Clean!

The group sites at Split Mountain are a welcome sight following a trip down the Yampa and/or Green rivers. There's plenty of space to spread out and also to gather for a campfire. The camp hosts are always pleasant and the facilities clean.

We had a great time at this campground and were very pleased with how scenic and beautiful landscape was. Saw lots of the wildlife and played in the river.

The sites along the river are not suitable for tents. They get full sun for 12 hours per day. It was brutally hot. When I looked at the pictures of the site I thought because of the trees there would be shade, but there is thick brush under the trees (good for birding - there were some interesting birds here). Access to the river is unofficial and very muddy. These sites are clearly intended for RVs. Like most camping areas no one really put any thought into tent sites. The sites in the middle of the campground do have some shade during the day, but the only access to the river from those sites is constantly clogged with professional rafting companies, so there is limited opportunities for casual recreation. If you like camping this is not a place for you. If you need a base camp with access to cool and interesting places, you will probably like this place. As long as you plan to be up and out by 9 am at the latest to avoid the heat.

There was too much sun and water. The waves were too splashy and we were constantly having to stretch out to dry off after the waves washed over the bow. Would not recommend. Stay away!!!!!
