Colorado River Camp Has It All!

Beautiful camp that truly has it all! We spent 4th of July weekend camping on Joyce’s land and it was incredible. Each site has their own dedicated river access. Joyce is incredibly responsive, and we couldn’t have asked for a better camping weekend get away.

I had very mixed feelings about this spot, but admittedly it was my first Hipcamp experience. The Pros: The host was very responsive, and the campsite had shade and plenty of space. There are cute farm animals and a beautiful peacock and her babies with her than made us smile. There was also a good amount of space between sites. The Cons: We camped in mid June, and there was an almost insane amount of bugs at this site. We had a portable campfire, and there were literally inches of dead bugs at the end of each night in the fire container that fly into the fire. I've never seen anything like it. Also, heading west after Glenwood Springs, the area kind of becomes dusty foothills with mediocre views, vegetation, and riverfront access. This is purely my opinion, but that's what reviews are for. Although the farm was cute to see, to camp next to a dusty field wasn't what I was wanting to do personally. I would say, ask for some extra pictures of the area/site to see exactly what you're getting into and make up your mind accordingly.

Loud traffic but great river.

I’ll start with the good parts. The river is great. There’s a lot of space between sites so you’re not on top of your neighbor. And Joyce is a nice host. However be aware, you’re right on i70. You can hear the highway all day and night. Big trucks. And the instructions to enter the property are confusing especially if arriving after dark. Multiple gates to open that are not mentioned anywhere so you feel like you’re trespassing. Either way, good experience overall.

It was great! Next to the river, quiet, occasional train went by. The farm animals and baby pigs were adorable! Joyce was friendly. It was a good night spent!

My family and I had an amazing time tent camping at the sheep campsite. There was plenty of shade and we were right on the Colorado River. We were able to put-in with our 10ft raft and float down to silt. My daughter loved the farm animals. The cows came right up to our campsite which was exciting for my daughter 😁. Definitely will be camping here again this summer.

We love it! This spot is super shady which is nice when you have littles. The river is very easy to get to ao it's perfect for hanging out by the river.

I have been coming up to this property for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I have recently started bringing my family and they also enjoy it. Being surrounded by her farm animals and wildlife is amazing! I will always try to make 2 trips up here but I will ALWAYS make 1! It is clean and super spacious between each campsite! Couldn't recommend this property more!

This is our 2nd visit to Joyce’s land. It’s amazing! The campsites are right next to the CO river which we had fun floating down. All of her animals on property are awesome. She’s very communicative and there’s great restaurants in town with a convenient grocery store. It’s the best! Highly recommend!

Amazing spot right on the river, loved that it was close enough to a couple towns but still felt super secluded. Can’t wait to stay here again

Absolutely fantastic! Hosts are very helpful but not intrusive at all. We had the place all to ourselves, but I don’t think we would have noticed if there were other campers there. We can’t wait to come back!

We loved this place. The kids got to pet the animals, dip their toes in the river, fly their kite, and play hide and seek in the dark. We really enjoyed our stay!

Was a really nice well kept campground. The spots were really large and right on the river. The hosts were nice and even showed us all the animals on the farm. We loved holding the baby pigs! The spot was quiet and very private. We definitely enjoyed our time.

The site doesn't show that a trail runs through the campground which people use to get to the river. There is shade (beginning of July) but not until about 10 or 11am. You have to haul your gear down like 15 or so steps or up 5, which would not be bad, however there was the site rafting trailer there blocking the 5 steps up. The indoor bathroom was good, just know it's only open during business hours. The river is close and nice to use. Nice site but half of it is a thoroughfare for people going to the river.

The site is beautiful, right along the river and easily accessible. The site itself is best suited for 1-2 tents. RV/camper parking is above the site and on the other side of some trees with a little path that leads to the riverside site. Perfect firepit, privacy and seclusion despite proximity to other sites and I-70. We camped with two young kids and it was great. Hosts were responsive and welcoming. One bonus is close proximity to New Castle which had a nice selection of restaurants if you need a night out or to pickup food for your camp. Would highly recommend.

Great family site on Colorado River

Tent · With pets ·

Our family had a great time over 4th of July weekend at #1 Sheep Site. It was pretty perfect for our family with young kids. We liked that this site had plenty of shady trees to keep things cool through the afternoon. It also had good privacy from the other campsites and the river since it is surrounded by trees on all sides. (Nice to keep the kids safely away from the water when we were busy getting dinner ready.) This site is the first one you come to in the row of 4 available, so there is only a neighbor on one side. Even though every site was full, we couldn't hear anyone else. Super peaceful place. Our 5 year old loved seeing the trains pass through a few times per day, feeding the farm animals, and wading into the river. The location offers a good home base for all of Garfield County's adventuring and the host, Joyce, is so kind and was easy to reach before/during/after our stay.

Gorgeous site, super spacious so is ideal for a large family or big group, however, for the price and the fact that you have to book 2 nights, the noise from the highway was so loud and all night. Also right across the river are homes and one has flood lights pointing right into the campsites. Kinda kills the vibe if you’re trying to get out into nature. Lastly, it’s 4 sites which is usually fine and they are far apart but if you’re unlucky like I was and one site wants to stay up and party all night and another has a screaming child, the spots are not far enough away to not hear it all. Really this should be priced like a KOA.

Rooster camp site.

Overall great experience, very private site, with access to the river. You can drop your tube in, and take the two hour ride to the Silt dog park and boat ramp. There are houses across the river from the camp site, we experiences dog barking in the mornings but that was the only negative. We saw blue heron’s, a lot of bald eagles on the water as well. Sites are close to town if you need anything as well. Highly recommend!

Super gorgeous site, nestled in between olive trees, just fish for your dinner and fall asleep to the sound of the river. Doesn’t get better than this. Animals were super sweet too except the turkey stuntin on us like he’s big stuff lol

This was the fourth time staying on the property and it was amazing as usual. Super clean and private. I 100% recommend staying here! We were able to see the animals and give them love. We also caught some fish this year right off the camping site!! We WILL be back!!

Awesome space! Very peaceful and well put together. We were able to see two eagles up in a tree above the site. The property is absolutely incredible. There were some prior reviews about bugs, but they weren’t too bad this time of year. We would definitely come back again in the future!
