It appears the FHU sites are handicap accessible. Do you have to have a placard to stay in these spaces?

This park is clean with space between the sites. Nice firepit and BBQ. Laundry facilities were reasonable and worked well. The only downside is no cell service for Tmobile or Verizon.
Wish the state would put wifi in or contract it out, If you go into town you can find wifi.

We enjoyed staying here. We stayed in the G loop and we were next to the river. We never heard any road noise. Our site was level and paved. The roads are nice and well maintained. We had a great view of the mountains! The laundry facilities are very nice here. Many nice paved paths to walk and lots of possible fishing spots! The only downside is the cell signal is very weak. You can go up to the gate and get a Verizon signal. Montrose has everything you could need within a 20 minute drive. There was a $9 daily fee that we had to pay when we arrived. That made our total for the site 50.

The sites were well taken care off and each site has plenty of room. The campground is easy to get to and the pads are pretty flat.

When you add the vehicle fees and online charges, it's quite expensive for a State Park (if you stay in Colorado State Parks, buy an annual pass).
Cell service was minimal (my poor Dodger Fan husband had a meltdown).
River sounds at night, highway noice in the morning.
The town of Ridgway has a nice ($$$) grocery store, and lots of tourists. We were coming off the Dolores River, so this felt like a big city to me.
Bottom line: it's a nice, clean park. Great for kids. Cute fishing holes and fly fishing. If you're a city slicker, you'll love it!

Paid $42 per night PLUS a daily fee for entering the state park. I think the state park fee was around $9 per day. Left a night early because we needed internet service and there's no service in the campground (AT&T or Verizon even with a cell booster on the camper)
But the roads and sites are asphalt, well maintained and the campground is beautiful set right next to the mountains. We could hear a little road noise through the night from the highway but not too loud.
Full hookups (50amp power, 50psi water, sewer). Good location for driving back into Montrose or up the mountains to Ridgway or even further to Ouray or Telluride.

This is such a fabulous campground with large spacious sites. We think ours was the best in the whole campground. We sat out on our patio overlooking the lake and enjoyed our propane fire pit in the evenings. We saw deer walking around a few times too. Great birding in the area and they enjoyed our feeder. Lots to do in the campground with trails and lake activities. Lots of people fly fishing. We got lucky during fall leaf peeping time and the colors were just gorgeous. Large spacious and clean laundry facility which is rare in a state park system. The town of Montrose is about 20 miles away and has just about everything you might need. And a day trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park isn’t too far away.

We stayed here with a little apprehension after looking at pictures. It looked like there was little shade and a lot of dirt. We actually had a nice shade tree. The nice ranger got us a hammock rack for our kids to hang their hammocks. The campground is along the really nice Uncomphgre River which is full of native trout.

Stayed here 3 nights in a travel trailer. Site had some trash and cigarette butts on the ground when we arrived. Site was back-in and barely long enough for trailer and truck. Since our site was closest to the river, we heard little/no road noise, depending on time of day. Cell coverage was very spotty. This campground gets very hot in the middle of day, so be prepared. We had a small path that led down a steep embankment to the river. The dogs loved the river access! Sites were only 30 amp, which I didn't realize til we arrived. My fault for not reading the details of the reservation. Reservoir is a 5-10 minute drive down the highway. You can rent kayaks and paddleboards there during the summer months. Ridgway has a small (but expensive) market 15 minutes away from the campground. Montrose has your full range of stores & restaurants but is a 30 minute drive north of campground. Laundry facility on site. No OTA channels at all. Pretty good spacing between the sites, much better than the parking lot style RV parks in the area. Would stay here again but at a larger site for sure.
