A beautiful location right on the river. The animals were a huge attraction for our kids. We would have stayed longer if we could.

Great camping experience.

We recently spent a few days camping at the Colorado River Animal Sanctuary, and it was an incredible experience. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for a peaceful getaway. One of the highlights of our trip was the variety of friendly animals at the sanctuary. My son became so attached to the pets that he was almost in tears when it was time to leave. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a family-friendly camping spot with the added joy of interacting with animals, I highly recommend the Colorado River Animal Sanctuary. We can't wait to return!

Lovely little sanctuary right on the river. We had such a pleasant stay with food options and grocery stores nearby. Great communication and response from the hosts, and our kiddo particularly enjoyed feeding the pet animals.

Fun place!!

Killer spot. Right on the river. Great breezes and listen to the river flow. The animals are a perk and so friendly! So cool

Site 2 - Colorado River Animal Sanctuary

While the location had charm, our experience was lackluster. We were not given any instructions for checking in. When we got to the campsite, the chairs were strewn about and the kitchen area had the remnants of the guests before us. Ants were everywhere. The campsite itself was a bit rocky, but we were able to get comfortable with backpacking pads. We were not given the location of the bathroom until the morning after the next day - well after we decided to move onwards in our journey! The host was nice when we saw him the next day and the animals were beautiful!
