We chose this state park due to the proximity to Colorado National Monument. The $37 rate does not reflect the additional $9 per day fee charged at the gate. We were in Loop C, many reviewers complain about the road noise but we found that it was not bad at all. It is there, but not bad enough to hinder the experience. Fishing was also great at the pond closest to the camping loop. Loop C is a full hookup loop which is a great find for a state park. This park is the perfect location to visit Colorado National Monument from. If you'd like to see more about our stay, you can see it here! https://youtu.be/RIIoBPHiIOw

Nice State Campground with full services and pull-through sites. There are trails and fishing. I wish we would have come a couple of weeks later so that there would be leaves on the trees.
Detractors:
-you can hear the highway but it isn't bad.
-you have to purchase a park pass in addition to the camping fee ($9 per day).
Bonus:
-close to Palisade, CO

Very convenient location right off the freeway, but not road noise wasn’t bad. Gravel sites were pretty close to level. Campground is nestled up to the river bank with easy access to the water. Plenty of bugs when we camped in late-July.

Campsite had electric hookup, covered table, fire ring, water available, showers, laundry, dump station, trash containers, and trail along the river. Great place to camp for the evening, clean and safe. There is some noise from the freeway and railroad, but barely noticable.

Brought my dog to the lake for a nice swim. You can hear the highway but it’s not too bad. I’m usually a boondocker so I don’t usually stay in campgrounds but thought this was a relaxing place to stop for the night.

My 4 year old and I spent a few nights here in May and it was perfect - stocked fishing ponds, playgrounds, nice grassy areas for playing, bike trails, clean bathroom. Easy trip to Fruita and Grand Junction. If you’re looking for total wilderness then maybe this isn’t the right fit, but the road noise was easily tuned out most of the time and the beauty of the surrounding cliffs more than made up for the occasional truck noise. Would happily stay here again.

When we stay at a state park I have a certain expectation that the park itself will be beautiful and peaceful. This part of James M. Robb state park is none of that (although I did hear from a friend that the part of this state park in Fruta is nice).
This park is too close to the highway, so lots of highway noise at night. It’s very desert like, dry, no pretty trees (although if you can get space 78 - it has a nice tree (assuming you have no height issues)).
There is no cell/internet access and we could not get any channels on our antenna.
There is a nice picnic area and a few trails to walk on (not pretty by any means). And if it’s not blistering hot, each site has a nice, covered picnic table.
I was not impressed with this campground and was sad that this is a state park.

Don’t pay before you are sure you want to stay because they wo t refund your money 5 minutes after arrival. There is no shade, no phone or internet service and desert and dirty water as scenery.

Mullins of goat heads being packed in from soles on shoes and poor dogs had feet full of these stickers and burrs. The ground is covered with them. They poked holes in air mattresses and got in the carpet in camper. Terrible

The house was sold, our contracted jobs for the year were done and on November 5th it was finally time to hit the road. Of course there was a Winter Weather Advisory that day to add a little bit...
