Plum Park on the Colorado

This is a very nice spot for a day trip. Good for fishing or just bringing the family out and letting kids run around, swim. Only saw one bathroom, no sink. Don't think it has showers. Would love to camp but I need a shower, especially after getting in the river. Park host was a very nice man.

Small 40 acre campsite. Well maintained. Pond full of fish. Access to the Colorado river. Highly recommend life jackets for those with younger children as the current can be rather strong in areas here. Campsite 2 and 4 are by far the best sites. Both hacking shade. Plenty of wildlife to see. Cranes, snakes, cardinals, deer and coyotes. It seems to be a local hangout in the afternoon but didnt get crowded when we went. We were the only people camping overnight. Be aware that the bathrooms are locked due to current Covid-19 restrictions. There is a porta potty at the park entrance that was exchanged during our stay. Campsite hosts are extremely friendly and do a good job watching the property.

Nice out of the way spot to cast a line or just play in the river. Super-friendly volunteer at the gate as well

The scenery was very calming and relaxing and a peaceful nature atmosphere! The water was flowing well and enjoyable with the kiddos and some had out there dogs, everything was very accessible

The park was really pretty and quiet. We didn’t end up swimming because of the time of year. The thing that really sealed the deal for us was the park caretaker Mr. John Nichols. He was super attentive and very sweet. He offered us dog food after we forgot to bring some and gave us a bundle of firewood and payed for it himself because we forgot cash and all we had was card. We definitely intend to visit again as it was the best camping experience we’ve had in a long time. As a lesbian couple camping in Texas we were so delighted that he was always polite and very sweet with us while still giving us space to enjoy our camping experience. Would definitely recommend!!!
