The best camping near Parshall with fishing

Parshall draws anglers for a reason—over 600 fishing-friendly campsites scatter along the Colorado River and its tributaries. Pitch your tent near swift currents or cast from the banks at sunrise.

You’ll find campsites where pets are welcome, campfires are allowed, and toilets are on hand, so you can focus on your next catch instead of logistics.
