This was a very nice campground, the B loop has about 25 sites that have 30/50 amp electric (although no water since it has to be hauled up two miles from the canyon floor to the canyon rim). Vault toilets. Some pull-thrus and some back-ins, many were large enough for our 30 ft class A but a sign at the pay station advises that 37 ft is the maximum RV length and the website cautions against anything over 35 ft. There was some shrubery and shade in some sites, we saw many deer in our campsite. Our toad's battery gave out at one of the look-out spots on the rim scenic drive and the rangers were very helpful in trying to get us started and recommending a good auto parts store in Montrose. No dump facilities in the campground. We very much liked the park and the campground and appreciated the electric hook-up. One thing to note is that the five mile drive on Hwy 347 to the campground is rather steep, we just took our time and had no difficulties. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This little, tucked away park is nice and convenient to all of the attractions in the area. A creek flows adjacent to the park, and you can hear it babbling from your campsite. Restrooms were immaculate. Staff was very helpful, escorting visitors to their sites. Includes free wi-fi. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small place in both number of sites as well as how close together the sites are. We were told we had a pull through, which we did, but the sites were so short it would just barely accommodate our 28 ft 5th wheel and I had to park my truck in the road in front or back. As everyone else had to do the same thing this made for some very crowded conditions. Not to mention that if you put out a slide you are literly 2-3 feet from the side of the rig next door. On the up side the staff was friendly and the place was clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Under new ownership last year and they are working hard to improve looks of park and assist guests. Very helpful and friendly. Lots of things to do in and around Montrose and park is easily located near most of them and downtown shopping. Many are within walking distance. Interior is gravel, but very neatly maintained. I would definitely stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is located just west of US550. Interior roads and sites are gravel with some small trees. Satellite TV reception is no problem. WiFi supplied worked great. Office staff very friendly and helpful. Accepts Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are in a 40' motorhome with 4 slides and fit well in a premium site. There are sites without big trees and with big trees. We prefer no trees. The lady who checked us in was a little strict about the rules. She went over everyone of them. Some sites have fire rings and you can get wood in the office for $4.00 a bundle. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I had a good experience with the check in. Friendly people. All sites are full hookup and all are pull through. A few sites are not as level as could be. Side by side hookups, works well when you pull all the way forward. (Not all RVers know this.) Quiet park, meaning no organized pot lucks or activities. Stayed all summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice place to stay in. Clean park, polite and helpful staff. Left early due to an emergency and the staff was very polite and assisted me in getting a refund on the last two nights of my reservation that I was unable to use. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice campground. The views of the surrounding mountains are great. It has large level gravel sites. Each site has grass, a shade tree, and picnic table. There are also fire rings at some of the sites for campfires. There is also a small playground. We liked this park because it wasn't crowded like some of the other parks. You feel like you have your own space. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well kept and clean. Laundry with television and computer area. Sites were spacious and level. We were not full time RVs at the time but will stay there a month later in the year. Easy driving distance to many good sites to the South; Ridgeway,Quray,Teluride, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here using Passport America so our rate was half price otherwise I am not sure the full rate would have been worth it as most of the facilities were closed for the season. This park could be a really nice park, but it needs some TLC. The manager was grumpy and whenever we asked a question about where things were she said she had no idea. A good manager should be able to help guests with information about the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We don't require an RV park that provides a complete entertaiment package, but rather use it as a base camp for other activitiess. We have stayed at this park in other years and like it. It has a great view of the mountains to the south, and is relatively close to other places that we wanted to visit like Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Ouray and Box Canyon at Ouray. We also went to Silverton and Durango but elected to stay in a motel at Durango, so we could get an early start on the Durango Silverton Railroad. Montrose is a nice city with the old reliable Wally World on the south side of town. By the way there is a great 50's dinner near the Wally World that is lots of fun. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a Coast to Coast & Passport America park. Sites are gravel, some level, some not so level. Sites are large enough for big rigs. Roads are gravel & wide enough. There are a few trees, but they do not cause a problem. It is a good place to stay while sightseeing in the area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Came in as Passport America. This park is SO QUIET (well managed). I would even stay here as a NON-PA after my 4 day max. was exceeded. $30/day with 50amp electric or $178.50 weekly. Only 1/2 mile from highway but the animal life and scenery at park is spectacular. Great Satellite TV & Satellite Internet too. High speed Internet available in laundry room We camped here in a Motorhome.
We loved staying here. Very quiet and easy access to a great bike trail, Wal-Mart, etc..., but felt very private. The sites were very level the river was very peaceful. They didn't have a lot of amenities, at the time, but said they were working on it. Very friendly "mom and pop" park. Stupendous scenery within a 30 minute drive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Limited signage to campground could miss the road to it if not careful. Open campground with limited signs to say where to stop and register. Owners friendly and efficient. Access roads to site were well maintained but a little narrow on turns due to fences. Sites are gravel with grass and are all pull-thrus. The whole site was well maintained. The owners are currently putting in additional sites and slowly developing the campground into a deeded plot resort. Quiet despite being near town center. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The new owners bought the place in May or June. We made reservations with the previous owners who did not keep their reservation system up to date too well. When we arrived, they really didn't have a full hookup site for us. They did have a site that only had water and electric, which was good enough for us, and there was a sewer dump on the way out. The new owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was good. This location appears to be a former KOA. There are LOTS of nice big shade trees and lush green grass when we were there. The swimming pool was good size. Bathrooms were clean. We would stay there again if in the area. I think once the new owners clean up the reservation mess that was left to them, they will be able to keep on top of it all. We camped here in a Motorhome.
