Rio Grande Campground

Rio Grande Campground is a small, 7-site first-come, first-served campground situated directly on the Rio Grande River in Rio Grande National Forest, offering excellent fishing access and serving as a put-in/take-out point for summer rafting.

The campground features gravel pull-through and spur sites with picnic tables and fire rings at 8,800 feet elevation, though the narrow and steep access road makes it unsuitable for large RVs or long trailers (25-foot maximum).

Note that there is no potable water, vault toilets only, no trash service (pack out all trash), and a 14-day camping limit applies; the site may be inaccessible during winter due to snow.
