Second time at Five Points. Both times it was about half full. People seemed to settle down at around 10:30. Under bridge access to river. Average sites. Surrounded by mountains. Recommend.

Just freaking amazing what else can I say

Such a great stop to catch your breath. Sometimes it is our destination while driving along the Arkansas River. Other times it is a great place to stop on our way into the mountains. Either way, looking out over the river is breathtaking. In summer the rafters go by. There is a small beach where you can wade into the water, but there are lots of rocks, so wear water shoes. Plus it is ice cold most of the time. Still fun to dip your toes when on a road trip.

Would have loved to stay there but couldn't get a WiFi signal to pay for the space... Pretty area and extremely clean!!!

The day use area has a special meaning for me. In July of 1997, the wife and I stopped here to have a little picnic with the Dairy Queen hamburgers and fries we had bought at the Royal Gorge area. It was here, I believe I took one of the best photos of my life. We stopped here a few more times over the years up until 2010. It’s a wonderful little area even if it cost you to get in. I don’t know if they still charge for day use or not. I bet they do. Below is that picture I took of the wife and I along the Arkansas River here. It will be 25 years ago this coming July.
