Rio Grande Campground

Overview

<p>This is a small, developed camping area in a grassy meadow, right on the banks of the Rio Grande River. It is not recommended for large RVs or long/wide trailers because the access road going down into the site is narrow and steep.&nbsp;The area offers fishing access to the Rio Grande River, and is a put in &ndash; take out point for summer rafting.&nbsp; Even though the grounds sit next to State highway 149, there is little highway noise as the campsites sits down below the road in the river bottom.&nbsp;The river is very near the campground and is a safety hazard to children if unsupervised. Be careful.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>The area has 7 camp sites with picnic tables and fireplace rings. Three sites&nbsp;are gravel pull-throughs and four sites&nbsp;are dead-end gravel&nbsp;spurs.
