Gilbert Campground access

Gilbert Campground (also known as Joe Gerrans Area) offers free dispersed camping with approximately 10 sites along the Colorado River and Beaver Creek, featuring vault toilets and river access for fishing.

Located 3 miles west of Hot Sulphur Springs on Highway 40, the area accommodates RVs up to 34 feet but can become muddy during wet conditions.

A valid Colorado Parks & Wildlife hunting or fishing license is required for entry, and the site operates seasonally with a 14-day maximum stay.
