Excellent venue with a well maintained pit toilet, shad structure and a beautiful view.
Removed from the fray of a busy Colorado River scene, but not too far away.
Would give it a five if it was cooler weather!
Thanks for providing a good camping experience.
Right next to a Big Horn Sheep lambing area. Within view of the Colorado.

Good site, stone tables are great as well as shade from trees and large shelter. Area is crowded though and we had several groups try to poach our site. More signage is needed to help folks understand where they can and cannot camp.

This site is great for a large group. Plan for bringing water! It is shady and a beautiful spot on the river. Love this camp site. Clean and well maintained.

The site is fine but there was a lot of wind and not just there, so bring tents that wont blow down. Clean toilet. Wish there were trees. Site will hold more than 7 vehicles. That should be changed. Also small tent trailer or e-pod.

Plenty of parking, site B has a large fire ring and good pavilion. Site C was a bit disappointing because the fire ring was poorly situated to sit around and the pavilion was just wooden beams which were not sealed and let rain through.

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.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • 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.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
