Unaweep Rim Camp 1 campground
Unaweep Rim Camp 1
The campground offers 14 first-come-first-serve sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There are vault toilets and potable water available on-site. The campground does not offer hookups or showers.
Nearby points of interest include the Gateway Canyons Resort, which offers dining, spa services, and guided activities such as off-road tours and horseback riding. The town of Grand Junction is also a short drive away and offers shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
An interesting fact about the area is that Unaweep Canyon is unique in that it is one of the only canyons in the world that cuts through a mountain range rather than running parallel to it.
The best time of year to visit is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures average in the mid-80s during the day and drop to the 50s at night. However, visitors should be prepared for sudden weather changes and thunderstorms during this time.
