Summary
Reservations are recommended via CPW’s website; fees apply. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings/grills, vault toilets (no flush), and no drinking water—bring your own. No RV hookups, but small RVs/trailers fit. The setting is semi-arid canyon country with dramatic cliffs, riverside views, and sparse vegetation—ideal for rafting, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Nearby attractions include Browns Canyon National Monument and the Arkansas River Trail. Best visited from late spring through early fall for warm days and cool nights. Quiet, rustic, and close to nature.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
