White River/Chapman

Amazing views and scenery not to mention all of the wildlife. Very peaceful and clean. Restrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Camp host Patty was always friendly and helpful. No cell service of any kind, and must be Bear aware and also watch for Moose.

Stunning drive up to this campground! You lose cell service about 50 mins out but the gorgeous drive makes up for it. Winding through mountains and passing Reudi Reservoir really make it special. The campground itself was quiet and beautiful with its own small reservoir that we caught a lot of fish in and did some kayaking. Many of the sites are out in the open with little shade, but there are a few in loop F that are set back in the aspens that are more private. We were in one of those and had deer passing behind us on multiple occasions! The bathrooms were also truly the cleanest I have ever seen at a campsite, and I've been to a lot of them. Highly recommend!

We love going here. Quiet, peaceful campground with some great river front sites. No hookups and no cell phone service. Potable water available and newer, clean vault toilets. Well maintained campground with the best hosts and good fishing at the reservoir, river, nearby lakes and Ruedi. A lot of hiking opportunities, too, and atv trails (no atv’s allowed in the campground)

Looking for peaceful? Looking to unwind and decompress from reality for a bit? Looking for beautiful views, or peaceful sounds of river to help you relieve the stress? Dozens of “back country” sites I’ve visited and Chapman easily places in the Top 3. We went during the week. Monday thru Thursday. Active but not to active. Quite enough to have your peace. Sites spread far enough apart you aren’t sitting on top of your neighbors. Scenery, off road trails, hiking, big Reservoir, plenty of river spots for kids to play. Ample fishing on the Frying Pan river. This place has it all. Also- cleanest vault bathrooms you’ve ever seen. And great hosts. Recommend 5 out 5.

One of the best maintained campgrounds I’ve seen. Hosts are extremely nice and keep campground very clean. Campsites located far from each other to give you privacy and nearby river and lake add up to an amazing scenery. There’s no phone coverage. Drive from the Basalt is beautiful, so even the ride there is worth it. Also a good place to spot deers, groundhogs and foxes.

Minus the issues with day use..... don't change policy mid-week without warming, then be awful about the confusion.... its spectacular

Kristen Hodges

Beautiful campground. The spots were spaced out so it didn't feel like many other people were there. Can't beat the views.

We really enjoyed Chapman. We stayed in Loop F, site 50 which has a ton of sun. There are lots of sites to choose from and most are pretty spread out. Shaded and not. Many of the sites border the stream. The Chapman reservoir, in the campground, is great for paddle boarding. Lots of hiking nearby. Saw a few marmot, a bear, and lots of deer.

Lovely campground. Had a family reunion there and we all enjoyed it. If you want to be in the woods and right up against the river, this is the place. Lots of fish in the lake. Just be warned: there is NO SIGNAL within an hour of the campground.

People aren't joking when they say these are the cleanest vault toilets they've ever seen. Most sites are shaded and there are a ton of sites that are within easy walking distance of the river or Chapman Lake. Sites are pretty far apart and offer good privacy as well bear lockets in each site. Water spigots have strong pressure and produce clean and cold water. There's about an hour and a half each early evening where the mosquitoes are rampant and the rest of the time they are barely noticed. Quiet and the hosts are friendly and helpful. There are hummingbirds!
