Turn right at sign, crossing over the Palisades Reservoir Dam, and go 1.1 miles to campground. GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 5,800 ft. The campground, adjacent to northern end of the Palisades Reservoir and located on a mountainside, is composed of three loops - A, B and C. Loops A and B can accommodate RVs and tents with many sites wide enough for a boat trailer. The camping sites in these loops are more open, some of which are terraced with tent pads. Some have a view of Palisades Reservoir. Loop C is restricted to tents and slide-in RVs. It is furthest up the mountainside with some sites having great views of the reservoir. The sites in this loop are heavily wooded - none are in the open. The campground is a boater's paradise, and as a result, it is very popular and full most weekends. It's a good idea to make reservations if camping on a weekend. The campground is loaded with berries, namely huckleberries, raspberries (in Loop C), serviceberries and snowberries. Although overall this is a very nice campground, Loop C is without a doubt the nicest of the three loops. Except for Loop C, privacy between sites is minimal to fair.

Turn left at sign into campground. GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 6,200 ft. The campground, composed of seven loops - A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, is located primarily in Lodgepole pine of various ages. Each loop has some camping sites that either overlook or are adjacent to Buffalo River, which is popular for fishing and family floating. There are communal grey water disposal sites throughout the campground. Loops A and B are the closest to US Rt. 20 where traffic noise is apparent. These two loops also have paved interior roads and parking aprons, some tent pads, numerous pull-throughs and flush toilets. Loop C is the most heavily wooded with electric hook-ups, tent pads and paved parking aprons. Loop D has the least cared-for appearance and gravel parking which create a rustic feel. This loop has vaults and flush toilets which are shared by the campers from Loop C. Loop E, called the Reunion Loop, is for groups and is not included in this survey. Loop F has a pleasant mixture of Aspen and Lodgepole pine with a heavy middlestory providing the best privacy between sites in the campground. This loop also has vaults and flush toilets and paved parking aprons. The sites in Loop G are more open than those found in the other loops. It is closest to the wheelchair friendly fishing dock and is comprised of grass and sagebrush understory and Lodgepole pine. It has a flush toilet and paved parking aprons. Although wildlife is not often seen during the warmer weather, the number and variety of birds is delightful. It is not unusual to find an Osprey perched on a snag across the river from the campground looking for dinner or to spy heron standing at the river's edge. Informal "beater" trails connect the loops and provide access to the river. Nearby lodges provide an excellent opportunity for a cook's night out.

The campground, adjacent to northern end of the Palisades Reservoir and located on a mountainside, is composed of three loops - A, B and C. Loops A and B can accommodate RVs and tents with many sites wide enough for a boat trailer. The camping sites in these loops are more open, some of which are terraced with tent pads. Some have a view of Palisades Reservoir. Loop C is restricted to tents and slide-in RVs. It is furthest up the mountainside with some sites having great views of the reservoir. The sites in this loop are heavily wooded - none are in the open. The campground is a boater's paradise, and as a result, it is very popular and full most weekends. It's a good idea to make reservations if camping on a weekend. The campground is loaded with berries, namely huckleberries, raspberries (in Loop C), serviceberries and snowberries.
