James M. Robb Colorado River State Park - Island Acres Section

We liked this campground because of its proximity to highways, stores & restaurants nearby & the Dinosaur Journey museum is within a walking distance. There are a couple of lakes within the campground, a dog friendly environment, picnic areas and a nice playground for kids. The amenities include washer/dryer, clean bathrooms with shower. The sites are spacious, some have full hookups, a lot of shaded trees which keeps you cool when days are hot. Generally peaceful & quiet except for the trains nearby that comes roaring in the middle of the night. The Colorado Nat’l Monument & the orchards in Palisade is just a short drive.

Welcome, adventurers, to a charming stop at this well-loved State Park, a convenient and scenic spot perfect for your next road trip! Nestled close to the freeway and cradled between dramatic canyon walls, this park offers a unique setting with plenty to explore. As you settle in, you’ll find most campsites equipped with power, making your stay comfortable and hassle-free. The park is a popular destination, so expect a lively atmosphere, though it does show signs of its heavy use. Its prime location near the river and two lakes offers opportunities for water fun, but stick to the clearer lake for a refreshing dip—the other can be murky and less inviting. For nature lovers and families alike, the park provides all the essentials you need for a great stay. A quick tip: the shower rooms can g

We really enjoyed our stay at the James M. Robb State Park - Island Acres Section. We had a campsite right on the Colorado River. Right across from a beautiful Mesa. Our site amenities included electric hook ups, a fire ring picnic table with a small shelter. Although it is conveniently located close to route 70, the highway traffic did not bother us. They have a nice campground service building with restrooms and free hot showers as well as a laundry room. The park also features a couple of fishing ponds, picnic areas an amphitheater, gazebo and a playground.

I'm giving this place a tentative 5-star, having not yet stayed here. The location is excellent and surrounded by stunning vistas with ponds and the Colorado River running along one side. Swimming is allowed in one of the pods, but only from May to October. The full hookups RV loops are only open from April through October. My wife and I travel I-70 from time to time, so I'm sure we'll be back here to experience the park in earnest. For now, we've only had a look around and walked our dogs here, but it looks like an amazing place to stay.

Nice place to stop. Beautiful views. Electric at all sites. Full hookups at many. Minus is road noise from I-70. Plus is great cell reception. Fishing, swimming, playground, and trails. Going to the town of Palisade tomorrow. My son told us it’s beautiful.
