Palisade Campground is the only developed campground in the Rio Grande canyon between Creede and South Fork, offering direct river access for fishing and rafting at 8,300 feet elevation.

The 12-site campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with full services (water, trash, host) available Memorial Day through Labor Day ($29/night), and reduced off-season rates ($10/night) with no services.

Note that Highway 149 and active railroad tracks run adjacent to the campground, and maximum RV length is 35 feet with limited cell service (Verizon only).
