Easy, clean. Quiet enough. Great place to stage our San Juan launch the next morning.

right on the river!! Very nice and clean.

The site is spacious with several picnic tables and room to roam. It isn't next to the river, but connects to the river's main access to the east via a few trails through the sage.

Mosquitoes were pretty bad.

A bit buggy, but not surprising given the riverside campsite. Overall, great campsite.

Very good site for a group getting ready to launch on the San Juan. It is set back a little from the entry road so less traffic at night. However, the highway noise (trucks) is still prominent at this site. Toilet is convenient to this site, many level tent spaces and a good pavilion. There are petroglyphs upstream of this site; you simply walk east past the ranger/volunteer station and through those camp sites and take the trail that winds up river, about a mile. Glyphs are up on the wall

Upon our arrival, a homeless man was set up in our reserved camp. After some coaxing and showing him paper proof and site billboard truth, he retreated 50’ away under a tree. Did not feel comfortable (woman w/2 kids) until the rest of our group arrived. Also, there is a public restroom facility but a lot of first come first serve sites came at all hours to use the facilities. Tried to chat on rec.gov app but kept ending my conversation because too much time elapsed between my interaction and them reaching out

Group B camp site was very well appointed with some nice shade. Toilets were well kept. Ramp was easy and not crowded for an afternoon rig. The parking however was crowded, which was a precursor to a crowded upper San Juan. Finding camps between Sand Island and Mexican Hat was difficult.

Always a great spot before a river trip. Clean facilities and a clean area.

Great site, has picnic tables under a shelter, water access, fire pit, & pit toilet.

The BLM rangers were friendly and helpful. The site accommodated our group nicely and the terrain was easy to navigate. The bathroom toilet paper was refreshed promptly through our visit. We had a very pleasant visit. The temperatures get very cold at night! Bring appropriate gear for weather in the fall.
