Camp Eddy’s RV Park is brand new and a one-of-a-kind experience in Grand Junction! Our property is uniquely in an urban environment, while still providing the space and tranquility of a nature-filled RV Park. This is because our RV Park is nestled into the beautiful Las Colonias Park in Grand Junction! This park is an expansive and beautiful green space with the Colorado River running through the center. The park is filled with walking and biking trails, river recreation and outdoor sports rentals, and the Amphitheater with headlining acts in the summer.
We are the only RV Park around that allows for this central accessibility to the park and all of Grand Junction, while still providing a gorgeous outdoor environment! Whether you’re here for a single night, a week, or more, we know you will love this experience.

This is a great spot on the river, near bike paths and downtown. There were beautiful views and great amenities. Honestly, we caught a great rate for a nightly stay. We would have stayed longer, but the weekly rate was a bit spendy.

Camp Eddy is new, clean, quiet and easy to access. Bring your own rig or rent one of their Airstreams (they have so many different types!) or a charming tiny house. It's right beside the Colorado River. A lovely walking path surrounds the campground and takes you even further if you wish (to the bridge across the river). Several patches of green space (which is nice if you have a dog) - and they also offer a small enclosed Dog Park. There are a variety of sites to choose from as well - with/without hookups, drive-through or back in. The site has new plantings - in a few years it should be lovely when some of the trees start to flourish - and there is no dust (the campground is covered in grey and beige gravel). There are individual restroom/shower rooms (you need a code to access them - and no quarters necessary!) as well as on-site laundry. There is also an area called The Hub - it's indoor/outdoor where you can hang out and look over the River. It's a short drive to downtown and easy access to Colorado National Monument. Just an overall lovely spot. Recommended!

What a beautiful place! We have an 18' trailer that had plenty of room. The sites sit right on a mellow stretch of the river. We waded in the water for hours. There is also a stocked fishing pond. My sons caught 10 fish in about 2 hours. So fun for them. The icing on the cake was all the animals that wandered the property. Just know you will likely be camping with others nearby, but the separation is adequate.
The only downsides: our entire campsite was literally crawling with ants. They were everywhere.
There is ZERO shade. We were cooking in early July. Thankfully we had a pop up canopy to help.

Would recommend for solo female travelers. :) Super safe and spacious RV park with great facilities and scenery. Stayed around the 4th of July weekend, and it didn’t feel too crowded at all even though there were a lot of other campers there.

The best luxury RV sites near Fruita guide
Where to go
North Fruita Desert
The North Fruita Desert is where you’ll find Fruita’s most famous mountain biking trails. The North Fruita Desert area hugs the Book Cliffs just north of town and offers over 250 miles of designated trails including the world-class “18 Road'' trail system. The North Fruita Desert Campground offers convenient access to the trails and dispersed camping is allowed in designated sites just outside the mountain bike trail system.
Colorado National Monument
Sitting on a high plateau, just minutes from Fruita, Colorado National Monument is a striking red rock landscape of sheer cliffs, towering sandstone formations, and dizzying canyons. The park’s top attraction is the 23-mile Rim Rock Drive, which hugs the edge of a cliff and provides access to several trailheads and scenic viewpoints. The Saddlehorn Campground is the only designated campground in the park and sites can be reserved up to six months in advance.
Grand Mesa National Forest
Situated high above the Colorado River’s Grand Valley, about 40 miles east of Grand Junction, Grand Mesa National Forest offers a cooler temperature escape in summer. This unique flat-topped mountain is filled with hundreds of gorgeous alpine lakes and over 200 miles of trails to explore. Campers will find several lakeside campgrounds and tons of opportunities for dispersed and backcountry camping.
When to go
The best seasons for mountain biking and camping in Fruita are spring and fall. Fruita gets a bit too hot in summer to thoroughly enjoy the trails. It’s not uncommon to see triple-digit temperatures in summer. Fall is a particularly nice time to visit Fruita. That’s when peaches, pears, and other delicious fruits are harvested in orchards around Fruita. Winter can also be a pleasant time to visit Fruita as long as you come prepared for chilly nights. Fruita gets very little snow in winter.
Know before you go
- Fruita has grocery stores, bike shops, breweries, and restaurants. Nearby Grand Junction offers a wider variety of services.
- Multi-day mountain bike rentals are available at several bike shops in Fruita.
- Some dispersed camping areas near Fruita require a portable toilet and fire pan for overnight stays.
- Fruita’s home of the Mike the Headless Chicken Festival. If you happen to visit in late May, don’t miss this yearly celebration that honors a chicken that supposedly survived without a head for nearly two years.
