Oh Be Joyful Campground

Oh Be Joyful Campground is a 30-unit BLM campground located 5 miles from Crested Butte along the Slate River at 9,000 feet elevation, offering 14 RV sites and 15 walk-in tent sites with direct river access for fishing and water play.

The campground features vault toilets, fire rings, bear-proof food storage, and a footbridge providing access to Oh Be Joyful Creek and the Raggeds Wilderness, though visitors should note there is no potable water, no trash service, and the access road (BLM Road 3220) is steep and rough—requiring high-clearance vehicles.

Reservations are highly recommended as the campground typically fills during peak season (May 27–September 30), with sites costing $20–$60 per night and a 14-day maximum stay limit.
