The Campground has nightly rentals, a bathhouse and grill station. Riverwood is your basecamp for adventure, whether that means gold medal fishing the Gunnison, ending a float from the Black Canyon or launching one through the Dominguez-Escalante NCA.

Private simple site in a field around the orchards. You will not have other rvs stacked on top of you. Homes surround the field right off the street. Enclosed field with a RV hook up for water and electric. Located in the center of palisade orchards. Easy access to the Mt. Garfield trail and 1.2 miles from the town of palisade where we have local farmers markets, restaurants and much more! Just a basic place for a RV or overlander. Hose water and 30 amp hook up. That’s it! Tent camping is doable depending on the season. We have an enclosed fire pit that we allow during certain times of the season upon request. If we feel the surrounding area is too dry or high risk for fire/ fire bans we do not allow camp fires. Please request prior to showing up or you may find out there’s a fire ban for the area. The gate entrance to the field is roughly 15ft wide. It is located off a two way street. We’re happy to accommodate respectful guests and easygoing travelers who just need a safe, pleasant spot to stay. Please note: if you’re looking to bring drama or be difficult, this probably isn’t the place for you. We like to keep things stress-free for everyone.

We enjoyed our stay at Riverwood RV Park slot (#3) backed up close to the river with shade & spot was spacious fitting our 45ft toy hauler. The camp was nicely maintained and very quiet. Would stay again when back through the area. Lorna

Nice spot close to town and trails. Water and electric were provided and close to the site. If you have a trailer be aware that you will need to back in from the road but it is very doable.

Camping at Peachfork property was a magical experience! The grounds are gorgeous and the owners were so welcoming and wonderful! The wine was delicious as well. We were lucky to have been staying when a musician friend of theirs was passing through and were treated to a beautiful and intimate live concert. While wine tasting in Palisades, we would ask other vineyards where they recommend and Peachfork was always included! Shout out to Dave, Levi, and Phil. They were great. If your trailer is on the larger side, Levi was great with helping back it in. It is an active farm, so be prepared to hear tractors and the bird deterrent in the morning.

Quiet little spot, in an adorable town. Close enough to attractions and hiking. Lots of wineries and peach orchards around, the peach ice cream at McLeans was great. Hosts were nice and chill, no bother.

Weekend Trip to Riverwood Resort on the Gunnison

It’s an okay spot. It’s in an RV park that has clean bathrooms and coin laundry. It’s not really a camping spot but it worked for us since we were just passing through.

Weekend Trip to The Peachfork

Such a beautiful and well-kept vineyard. Wish we could have spent more time here. Definitely would recommend staying the night. I brought my parents and my fiance we slept in tents under the trees. We used the hot shower and drank some of their juice from the apples from the orchard. It was a bit pricey but that was because I'm assuming memorial weekend. I would recommend bringing a bicycle and biking to other vineyards. Thank you Levi for hosting us and answering all of our questions.
