This is one of my family's favorite places to go. Wonderful rafting in the beautiful town of Buena Vista. Would recommend this as one of the top spots to camp in the area!

Stayed for the weekend. The location of the campground itself is really nice, its secluded and right on the river. However, the site we booked, 1310, which is considered a handicapped accessible site was NOT a great location. The entire site is concrete pavement which, in itself, isn't so bad. But this site is also located DIRECTLY behind the bathroom and because it was pavement other campers and visitors assumed it was a walk way to the bathroom and we had multiple strangers just walking right through our camp the whole time. We even parked our cars in a way to kind of block off the entrance to the site and they still just walked through. We also had a lot of experiences with OFF LEASH DOGS at this site. I felt very unsafe with my dogs here. Id also like to add that I saw the park ranger see some of these dogs off leash did nothing to inforce this rule which is posted on the sign at the entrance of the campground as well. Not a great experience. Would ask for my money back if it was possible 🙄

The campgrounds are absolutely amazing. We unfortunately reserved a location that was super exposed to the wind and sun. However with a secure canopy it's enjoyable.

Gorgeous views and very relaxing. If you are by the launch, be aware that lots of people will show up starting around 8ish for rafting and tours. But definitely worth it.
