This is a beautiful campground. The road to get there isn't so great, but its worth the drive. The hosts were very friendly and the scenery was breathtaking. Lots of trails to hike as well. Recommend.

River Hill is my favorite campground in Colorado. We have been visiting the same campground for 8 years now and every time we go we have an incredible experience. The hosts Edy and Felix are the best we've ever come across in all our years in CO. The grounds are always super clean, the bathrooms are always super spiffy and they run a tight ship with all the guests. We're already looking forward to another later summer visit. Thanks for all your hard work!

Beautiful, well maintained campground. Hosts Edie and Felix are friendly, helpful and always busy keeping the campground in great shape. We enjoyed seeing a moose across the river from our site. Occasionally, deer walk through the camp. Sitting and listening to the river rush by is so relaxing. Awonderful place to visit.

Hosts do a fantastic job of keeping the campground enjoyable
@ZacharyS31A1C1 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #2
Very scenic campground with wildlife and decent fishing! Sites are nicely spaced out with accessible toilets and garbage.
@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #4
Wonderful campground!! The bathrooms were kept extremely clean, with a pleasant smell. The lots are spacious and set up nicely. The hosts were very nice. Firewood is a bit pricey at $10 though and you dont get much. Well worth the drive.

Our campsite was great and the camp hosts, Edie and Felix are the greatest! They always make our stay unforgettable! They are the best camp hosts around. The campsite is immaculate when we arrive and the bathrooms are above clean. We cant wait to see Edie and Felix next year at Riverhill!
@JonR4078904 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #14
A very clean and well managed campground. River Hill is a favorite that we return to every year. I hate to be too high on the place for fear it will become more difficult to reserve the site!
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #4
Camp Hosts Eddie and Felix were OUSTANDING! They have been at the River Hill Campground for several years and have been as good as you could hope for.
@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #4
Cleanest bathrooms we've ever seen at a Campground! Campsites are beautifully cared for!
@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #15
The campground host does an awesome job. The bathrooms are always well cleaned and maintained. This is the best managed forest service campground we have ever visited.
@CynthiaR216720 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #4
Cleanest bathrooms ever, & very helpful camp hosts
@BoM20260FE1824 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #15
We absolutely love River Hill! Campsites are spaced far enough apart to where are you not on top of each other. Nice and quiet and since it's off the beaten path you do not have a lot of drive through traffic. We highly recommend this campground.
@DennisM8587674 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #5
The camp hosts were exceptionally courteous. Sites in excellent shape.
@MarkF9408903 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #15
Super clean restrooms and the hosts on site are very responsive.
@JudithW4250782 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #5
The camp hosts are very helpful and keep the facilities spotless. The outhouse was the cleanest I have ever encountered!
@SofiaW18740119 · Camped on Jun 20, 2023 at Campsite #5
Such a beautiful and remote campground. The cleanest bathroom I have ever seen! We lost internet connection once we turned off the main road but the drive out into the mountains, passed a glistening lake is so worth it. We were able to fall asleep to the sound of the River flowing by. Camp hosts were very kind and talked to us about some of their history with the campgrounds. Highly recommend.
@DonaldH6846342 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #16
We love Riverhill Campground. We’ve been coming here for years. The grounds were well kept and the restrooms very clean. The hosts are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make your experience enjoyable.
@RobertN6611454 · Camped on Jun 1, 2023 at Campsite #13
Quiet setting off the beaten path. Great camp hosts.
@MikeA1573556 · Camped on May 29, 2023 at Campsite #12
What a beautiful, clean campground. The river was flowing fast, and my husband still caught an 8" trout! Both of us got in bike rides. The burned trees from a fire several years ago are making a comeback, especially the aspen. The camp hosts, Edie and Felix are wonderful. The pride in their work is beyond compare. I have never been to a campsite that was racked with a fire pit empty before! That's when I knew it was safe for me to use the vault toilets!! Great first trip out! Barb and Mike
@NancyS9263746 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #11
Edie and Felix are the best campground hosts ever, bathrooms are clean and they are so helpful. Wish I could say the say the same about the new management company. They did not supply campsite reservations until late the day opening day. No excuse for that, people did not know what sites were available and which ones were not. A very bad position to put the hosts in. This new management company seems to be playing defense instead of offense. Edie should be running this region and not the ones currently there ;-)

One of the nicest campgrounds I have ever been to. Very well maintained with campsites nicely spaced, many of which were right on the water. Bathrooms were spotless. The campground hosts (Edie and Felix) were very friendly and conscientious and were always checking to make sure you were having a good experience. I largely attribute the quality of the campground to their efforts. Unfortunately, 2021 was their last season. The ten miles of dirt road to get to the campground can be a little rough with washboards and small potholes, but manageable if you simply take your time. The road had been recently graded by the time we left, so was much better. You will love this campground!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
