Beautiful scenery! Relatively very quiet at night. Nice sites with plenty of room!! $14.00 a night.... perfect!!! Definitely saved this on Google Maps!!

Across from a river that has a fishing bridge but very little access for other activities. There is no water available. Bring your own. The vault toilets are decent. Kind of pretty if you like the desert look. Solid picnic table and fire ring. I didn't think you should have to pay 10 per car on top of the camping fee. There really isn't a great river access.

An absolutely gorgeous place! We saw a female bighorn bit unfortunately too ar away to get a picture. Loved driving toward Silida when the Songre De Cristo Mountains Popped into view, they really stand out! The campground was quiet and seemed well managed and clean.

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.

This is a great campsite. I have come here two years in a row and stay one night and raft the next day. Each campsite has space for a tent that is all gravel, a picnic table and a metal fire pit with a grate to cook something. There is good space between each campsite. There is a bathroom too on site, no running water. You can walk across the highway and there is an overlook over the water. This is where the five point rapid is. There is an eddy that is sandy where you can get in river, just be careful to not go out too far and get sucked into the white water. There is no phone service here. I often see big horn sheep from my campsite up the hill.
