    We had fun but I should have gone to a clearer lake. This is a good place for fishing but not swimming activities.

    A good place to put in if you want to ride the river for awhile. The lake however is gross. Very marshy and not great for swimming.

    We are very disappointed with those in charge at this campground. The showers leave much to be desired, with bugs crawling up out of the drains and huge spiders in their 3 inch thick webs in the shower stalls. It takes more than just a few hours for those size webs to be formed. More like days. Which tells me that they aren't kept up on. Not everyone who stays here has a camper with a shower and we pay more for campgrounds like this so that we can use the amenities. We also have young kids who need to shower and they are scared to death to go in there. We brought this to the attention of the senior ranger when we first checked in, and seeing as how it is now day 2 and nothing has been done, it fell on deaf ears, which is frustrating.

    What a great campground! Ot was of the best I have ever stayed at, especially a state park. Lots of pull throughs. Connected bike trails that were awesome. Cover over picnic tables, concrete pads and nicely kept. Did not use restrooms or showers though.

    This is a beautiful park. The bike and walking paths are extensive and well maintained. You can walk between many lakes and see all sorts of birds. This has been an enjoyable resource for us - and our dogs. State parks allow animals, as opposed to national park rules. I think the $7 per visit is high - but it is state mandated for all state parks. We bought an Aspen Leaf pass to allow us a year's access to all parks. I think it is well worth it!

    With all the terrible yelp reviews, I didn't think this park was that bad. It had clean restrooms and showers! Officer rangers and park host were friendly, did not have any sour encounters. We stayed for one night on our way to Denver and stayed in campsite #33. $7 for day park pass and I believe it's $5 for firewood bundle. Our site was $24 for electricity and water (it was nice to have cool water instead of warm water from the spigot). Not a full hookup site. My site was very clean and well kept with a tent pad area. Comes with a canopy, which is definitely needed (no shade during the day time), picnic table and pit fire grill. Camped on 9/6/2016 and mosquitoes were out and about, come prepare with your citronella and bug spray. We didn't venture on any of the trails here but did drive out to the Colorado National Monument, less than 10 mins away. They have trails that run along the river and around a lake area. You are able to see the stars here at night and nice morning views of the canyons. It is close to shopping centers and the freeway and it was loud from the passing cars at one point but it was nothing we found too bothersome. It was more of, this must be the noise people complain about. Stay off the grass in the morning because that's when the sprinklers turn on. From what I saw, the tent only area is a walk-in area. Does not have an option for a tent only next to your car.

    This is a great state park! There are playgrounds, water features, and some really nice trails.

    It's a nice campground but the camp host was not the friendliest. We will skip next time. We felt rushed to leave during our stay

    Don't miss this one! When we first arrived in Fruita, Colorado. The Colorado National Monument was…read morenot on our list of things to visit. We would of totally missed it if it hadn't been for some people we met at a restaurant. Colorado National Monument is not a National Park; it is a National Monument managed by the National Park Service. It's name doesn't portray the beauty and magnitude of this gorgeous park. It is a 23 mile drive and is often called the mini-grand canyon. The towering red rock monoliths and the Canyon views were absolutely incredible.

    What bliss this is…read more Colorado National Monument is basically the smaller in scale sandstone-stacked cousin of the Grand Canyon, but without all the horrific traffic and crowds upon crowds, especially at the start of summer. This place has miles of views with gorgeous towering cliffs, dramatic canyons and many trails for walking and hiking. You can also see the Grand Mesa (the world's largest flat-topped mountain) and the Book Cliffs from the monument. And it has that Grand Canyon feeling when you look at its depth -- as though you are looking directly into a painting. Along about a 20-mile highway (with an east and west entrance) you can enjoy the full views. There are plenty of places to pull over and park to take a look or to plan for a hike. And be very, very careful. The main drive is very deeply beloved by cyclists, so be sure to drive slow and keep eyes on the road. Do not miss Independence Monument. This is a glorious rock spire. also, the Kissing Couple is adorable. The Coke Ovens are these beautifully shaped domes -- some of my favorites in the area. Also, be aware of wildlife. I did not get lucky, but there are regular sights of bighorn sheep, coyotes, red-tailed hawks, eagles and many other animals. I did see a pretty spectacular aerial fight between a hawk and a raven during a recent visit, though. Also, be sure to check out the visitor center on the west side. It has some natural history exhibits and a gift shop. There is also the Saddlehorn Campground, which is very well maintained and has a good number of spots, but not all with sprawling city or canyon views. All told, there are three loops with nearly 80 sites. Some are small and best for a pair and others that are good for a couple of tents on one site. Overall, bring lots of water and snacks, because it is dry and sometimes feels desert like. And do not over rely on cell service, as there are a number of dead zones.
