Weekend Trip to Camp Eddy

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.

Weekend Trip to Palisade Basecamp RV Resort

What gem in Palisade! As natives, we have camped in many places and own a campground ourselves. PBC is extremely well maintained, beautifully located, quiet and very family/dog friendly. We really enjoyed just walking around the property, there is even a peach orchard on site we got to pick peaches from! The owners are so kind and we loved getting to talk with them at the main office/general store they have on site. There is a winery right next door and the campsite is within biking distance of town. We will absolutely be back, thank you so much!!

We had an amazing time- really nice bathrooms with private showers, had great wifi connection, absolutely beautiful location! Staff was so so friendly- they were serving a free dinner to everyone staying at the campground (pork tacos which were delicious). They have regular dinners, lunches, and activities for guests- it looks like a couple each week. So much fun and we will definitely return.

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!

Great location on the Colorado River, with a peach orchard on the property and a winery next door! We had full hookups and a picnic table. The sites are very level. The camp store sells everything you need, even beer and wine. It was warm, so it was nice to enjoy their pool. The restrooms/shower house was the nicest I've ever seen. Lots of room. We'll definitely be back!

Everything went just as expected—no surprises, and that’s exactly what we wanted. The site was easy to access. Host was friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth. Nothing over the top, but everything worked the way it should. Would camp again for a no-stress trip.
