Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next James M. Robb - Colorado River State Park adventure.
Five distinct park units along the Colorado River form a “string of pearls” for outdoor recreation.
Stretching for 35 miles along the Colorado River, this park offers five park units (Fruita, Connected Lakes, Colorado River Wildlife Area, Corn Lake, and Island Acres), each offering different river and lake-based recreation opportunities that include swimming, boating, rafting, tubing, fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, picnicking, and wildlife spotting. Aside from the river, small lakes can be found at various park units, along with paved and hard-packed trails and plenty of wildlife. Two campgrounds, at either end of the park, offer 137 campsites suitable for RVs, trailers, and tents, with fire rings, picnic tables, and stand-up grills.
The park is at its busiest in summer, when high temperatures make water activities particularly enjoyable. Campgrounds are open year-round, but showers and laundry facilities, along with full hookup sites at Fruita, are only available from early spring through fall. The Island Acres swim beach is open from May through September.
