The park is so beautiful! The river runs along the edge that has a boat ramp down to it. There are picnic tables all around (some have a BBQ stand), camping areas with covered picnic tables, just over a mile walking track all around the park, a play area for children, shower house for campers and a wonderful and interesting visitors center.

Amazing campground. Rangers were helpful and kind. Loved that the showers and flush toilets were accessible 24/7 so we didn't have to sleep in the days grossness when coming back from our nearby adventures. The location is great for day trips to Craig and Steamboat Springs. Lots of fishing holes nearby. And we were able to check out a hammock from the visitor center that made afternoon naps amazing!

It's a nice enough camp site. The spots are level with rock, fire pits/grills and a covered picnic bench. There is a free shower and coin laundry for guests. We didn't see any sewer or water hookups and their dump station is out of service. There is water available just not at our site. It's pretty close to the road and you hear traffic noise all the time.

What a great day destination! I enjoyed the walking trail and learned a few new things from the interpretive signage. A big shout out to Ranger Kirk who went above and beyond with courteous help and the knowin' of all things Yampa river...
