Nice boat ramp for starting a float through Brown's Canyon. Pretty good fishing, but beware. The property below the boat ramp is private and the on-site owners strictly enforce, so fish upstream only.

We stayed here in a 5th Wheel.

I tent camped here for several weeks and enjoyed every minute. Right next to the Arkansas River, there's plenty of area for hiking and looking for garnets on Ruby Mountain. Nice campsite set up. Tent pad was perfect size with fire ring and picnic table. This campground is being remodeled and will be closed until completion.

We stayed here in a Tent.
