Amazing! Two very clean bathrooms with motion sensor lights, river and boat access, beautiful short trail with family friendly guide, big camping spots, lots of water spigots and drop dead gorgeous! Bring your river fishing gear and your s’mores because you won’t want to leave.

Very beautiful area. Plenty of camping available at $10/night. There is a short hiking trail that is not dog friendly or well shaded. The trail has rocky inclines. Many main trails in Dinosaur National Monument are not dog friendly (some are!!) so plan before you visit. Make sure you pack plenty water and sunscreen. There is a pamphlet for $1 at the start of the trail that explains the 16 points signed on the trail. There are very scenic and historic views here.

Quiet. Two boat trips launched. Chilly breezes, but still enjoyed tee shirt weather.

It's definitely dated! Not really pet friendly. About the only place you can have your pet is in a camp spot or on the boat ramp. That being said it's a 10 for it's beauty and history!

An amazing place to camp with some pristine views, can be quite quiet; ranger and ranger house so there is someone there to help answer your questions. The boat ramp can get quite busy, but the trail to see the Gates is fairly easy, bit of vertical at the beginning, otherwise quite flat. At night, and especially during new moon, look up, stars, stars, and stars like you’ve never seen!
