We stayed at the James M Robb State Park in Fruita, CO in late September 2021. We were in an outer loop campsite (42) with lots of privacy and views of the river. The FHU site was paved, level and had a picnic table and fire ring with a shade shelter. Overall this campground was very clean and well maintained. The paved walking paths along the Colorado River are very nice with benches along the way. We enjoyed a nice sunset view too.

The James M. Robb River Park is one of the nicest CG's we have visited. Sites 40, 42, and 44 on the outer ring with a view of the river are the best. All sites have level concrete parking pads, covered picnic tables and daily raked level gravel pads for tents. The driveways are paved asphalt with mowed grass throughout the park. All sites are well separated.
IMPORTANT: Save at least a half day to tour the spectacular 23 mile drive thorough the Colorado National Monument which encompasses the entire bluff west of the Robb CG. The Visitor Center is reached after a steep drive to the top of the bluff. There is a small CG adjacent to the Center, but has only a few level pads. For the best views down into the east facing 1000 foot deep canyons, plan your tour in the morning

Well kept State Park campground, Easy Access to nice bike trail, a small lake nearby provides paddle boarding and kayaking and you have access to the Colorado River. If you don't have a Colorado State Parks pass, expect to pay an entrance fee.
This area can be very hot and working air conditioning is a huge help. Most sites had a covered picnic tables. Some sites had shade trees. The normal habitat for this area is desert sage brush. So all the trees and grass are courtesy of transplanting and heavy watering.
Speaking of water and watering. The water is definitely hard. I would not fill my fresh water tank up with this and will flush my system with better water later. I'm not certain why they are on an everyday watering schedule, but they are, and you will want to find the sprinkler heads and not put anything in their path that you don't want to clean hard water deposits off of.
No wifi, cell was good but slow, free showers at this time, shower house had working laundry

We stayed the weekend of July 23rd. This is a very nice campground! The park staff keeps up on everything and are always busy cleaning and making sure everybody has what they need. There is a fishing pond and the Colorado river runs right next to the park. They have a really great dump station. The park was full but it did not feel packed at all. Right outside of the main entrance there are plenty of restaurants and gas stations. The city of Fruita is right across the highway and just a few minutes away. For being so close too town we did not feel like we were city camping at all and did not notice any road noise. If I had a complaint it is that Colorado State parks charge a parking / day use fee even if you have paid for camping and that was $9 per day. If you arrive after hours there is a kiosk to pay for your parking pass, it is hard to notice at night. We will stay here again next time we are in town.

The best place to stay around Fruita / Grand Junction if you don't want to stay in an expensive RV Resort. I love the amenities (full hookups), how well maintained the park is, how well the hosts keep the sites and the club house.
We love staying here as a stop (sometimes a night or multiple) while driving west.
My only advise is that this area is very hot in the summer and we struggled in late June. Our site had minimal tree coverage so something to consider during those months.
Depending where you are, you can hear the noise from i70 or the other main road that takes you to Colorado National Monument. Make sure to pick a site inwards and towards the clubhouse or little lake.

This was a very nice park. Easy access from I70, but no road noise. Wide, well maintained paved roads easily navigated by any rig. Large private sites, many are pull-throughs. The landing pad is paved with a crushed stone patio, covered picnic table and a fire pit. The sites are surrounded by grass and natural vegetation. Our site, #17, was nestled in the trees and had plenty of shade. Some other sites are more open. The park is very well maintained. There is a beautiful river walk, pond, boat launches, and lots of green space. There’s a laundry available, although we didn’t use it. Some sites are full hook-ups, others are water and electric only, so check the site map before you book. There is a dump station. We had 2 bars on T-mobile service. There is no WiFi. Close to Colorado National Monument entry station and the town of Fruita. We will stay here again the next time we travel on I70.

We were going to accept all of that without writing a negative review until we were trying to pack up at 10 am and got completely annihilated by the sprinkler system!!! We cannot stand anywhere near our vehicle without getting very wet.
Very frustrating experience. Especially considering the cost to stay here. And we wanted to love it. The park is great and well maintained!
