Upper Prince Creek Campground

We have been here before and the location and the campground is great, but the BLM is in contract with local ranchers and let the cows take over.
Over 40 cows at times are in the campsites and poop everywhere- which means flys everywhere.
We spoke to BLM, but little could be done done due to the contract with the ranchers.
They said they were working with the ranchers, but the cows run the roost- so much manure.
It’s a shame as it’s such a great BLM campground and so close to Carbondale and amazing mountain biking.

While I haven't stayed here before, I have stayed at Lower Prince Creek which is only a couple minutes away and I've driven by and through this campsite a few times. Similar to Lower Prince Creek (check out that review), the price is currently up in the air. According to the paperwork posted at Lower, they were supposed to have started charging in 2019, but that hasn't happened yet. They have a pay station, but have not posted a price and don't have any envelopes. Lower Prince Creek was free when I stayed there last week, as was Upper, but no guarantee it will be later.

Both campgrounds are similar in their layout and amenities with each site having a tent pad, fire ring, and table and the campground has a single pit toilet with no running water. Both have a group site, although the group site here is larger and across the road from the main campground, the gate for that was closed when I was there. Upper is a bit more exposed to the road than lower, but is closer to the stream which has an access right next to site 1 (think "getting your feet wet" stream, not "dropping in a kayak" stream.)
