Note: This review is from our stay in July 2024. It’s difficult to overstate how magnificently beautiful it is here. No matter which way you look, it’s picture perfect. The RV sites are slightly cramped, but I didn’t feel like we were packed in like sardines. Each site had a picnic table next to your trailer, plus an area behind your rig with a fire ring. There’s a very nice (but relatively short) hiking path right on the premises. There is zero cell service here from any provider, so be sure to bring your Starlink dish. The park also offers wifi, so you won’t be completely isolated from the outside world. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well-maintained. Very nice camp store. This place is pretty isolated, so if you need groceries or other supplies, you’ll be in for a bit of a drive. If you’re looking for a nice hike, take a look at the Lost Lake area. Very pretty. Back when we stayed at Kebler, the road to Lost Lake was under construction and made for a slow, bumpy ride. Hopefully by now that’s all fixed up. The only downside about Kebler Corner is that there’s no easy access to a running trail. The street is too busy and has a very narrow shoulder. We were only there for 3 nights, so I just stuck to hiking during our stay, but when we go back I’ll be checking out this nearby road. It’s a dirt road less than 10 minutes from Kebler Corner and might work just fine for a good run.
I was sad to learn that Kebler Corner went up for sale in November in 2025. I hope that who ever buys it keeps running it as an RV park. I’ll be sorely disappointed if we can’t go back for a return visit.
Beautiful park. Very quiet and serene. Close to Ridgway and Ouray, both of which are fun small towns to visit. Be sure to check out the Bachelor Syracuse Mine tour. Good, inexpensive fun. We stayed in site 263 in the G Loop. We were completely isolated from traffic noise, which I don’t think is true of the other loops. Instead, we got to listen to the glorious sound of the creek which was right behind our site! Unfortunately, it was tough to get a good view of the creek due to trees and brush in the way. If fishing is your thing, there are lots of trails that get you close to the water. There’s lots of room to walk around the campground, but only one “real” trail: The Enchanted Mesa Trail, which will take you to Ridgway’s other campgrounds. If you’re a runner, this trail was excellent that purpose. Except for two very steep points, I ran this trail multiple times during our stay. Easy to get 7 miles in, and you get grand views of the reservoir the entire way. There were no tall trees that interfered with Starlink, so we got a perfect signal. Our picnic bench was pretty beat up and probably should be replaced soon, but we were still able to use it. The laundry room here is excellent! Three washers, three dryers, and huge tables to fold your clothes. Just be forewarned: if you’re facing the row of dryers, the one on the far left sucks at drying. Use high heat. We didn’t use the showers, but they looked okay. (Meaning, if we didn’t have a sewer hookup, I wouldn’t have minded the camp showers.)
We were just here for an overnighter, so we didn’t get much chance to really soak in the park’s amenities, but here are the impressions we got while there. Pros: The facilities are quite nice and well cared for. The bathrooms were spotless. The showers had benches and hooks to place your things. They had a really, really nice pavilion with lots of tables downstairs and a game room upstairs with everything from giant Connect 4 to vintage video games. Staff was friendly. Check in was painless. Cons: Sites are very cramped. Our picnic table was right next to our neighbor’s sewer inlet and there weren’t really any better options for where to put it. The park is situated right next to many industrial businesses, so walking around wasn’t exactly “scenic”. For $65 a night, we probably wouldn’t stay here again only because of the small lots and dreary surroundings. If those things don’t matter as much to you, then it’s a great place!
I wish we had taken more pictures but, alas, forgot.
It pains me to only give this park a 4 star overall rating, but a couple of negative aspects forced me to deduct a star. First the good: it’s beautiful, and we loved being surrounded by tall trees for a change. (Usually we’re tree-averse, because we need Starlink to work. Ironically, Starlink worked great here, in spite of all the tall trees.) The park was quiet, mostly. A few barking dogs—particularly the camp host’s dog—regularly disturbed the peace. The weather was cool, thanks to the high elevation, which was a nice respite from the heat wave affecting everywhere else in the country this summer. The park offers some fun events, like a movie night and an astronomy presentation. There are tons of hiking trails nearby, though I think we did the Raccoon Trail. (Which was awesome and only 4 miles.) There are laundry machines here that take credit cards. That was a nice advantage!
I guess that just leaves the less-good aspects: First, the showers are awful. Not because they were dirty or anything. They were actually very well maintained. But the shower heads sprayed about 5 drill-like streams of water that fan so widely apart that it was impossible to get all the water simultaneously directed at your body. You have to do some serious gymnastics in order to rinse your lower extremities and god help you when rinsing your face because if one of those streams catches you in the eye, you’ll feel like you were stabbed. Since the park doesn’t offer sewer hookups, these showers are your only option. Everything else about the bathrooms was perfectly acceptable. (And actually better than your average state park bathroom.) The other thing that I didn’t like about this park is the last 1.5 miles to get there. You have to take Gap Road, which is horribly washboarded. We didn’t drive much past 10 mph and it was still painful. That said, we saw people driving down that road like they were drag racing—trailer in tow! So clearly some people aren’t bothered by the bumps, but we sure didn’t enjoy them.
Absolutely loved this park. We stayed in the Lakeview loop, site 12. (If you promise not to tell anyone else, I’ll let you know that site 12 is the best one. Wooooonderful views from your patio, unobstructed by other trailers.) There are no tall trees here, which means perfect Starlink signal but little shade. We appreciated the great internet since we worked during our stay, but the heat made us yearn for more shade. That said, it’s great that most (all?) of the sites here have covered picnic tables. That alone provided a good amount of protection from the sun. We didn’t use the camp bathrooms or showers much, but they seemed on the nicer end of the spectrum for a state park. Even though the reservoir level was very low, it still made for a beautiful landscape. It’ll be interesting to come back in the future and see what it looks like when the water level is normal. When we first arrived, I wasn’t sure there would be enough roadway for longer distance running, but I was able to run a little over 7 miles without repeating much. You can see the route I took in my included pictures. There are some relatively steep hills, but overall it was flat enough that it didn’t completely wipe me out. The last thing I’ll mention is that the entire park is wonderfully peaceful and quiet. When I opened our door in the mornings, you could hear a pin drop. I loved it.
If you’re looking for groceries, gas, restaurants, or other such things, it’s probably a 20 minute drive in to Rifle and you’ll find pretty much anything you need.
This is a wooooonderful state park. We’ve now stayed here three times, all in Loop B. We’ve stayed in sites B52, B67, and B71. You really can’t go wrong with any of the sites here. (Although there were a lot of ants when we stayed in B71.) The park is huge. It takes 10 – 12 minutes to drive from the main entrance to the B Loop entrance. All the sites we’ve seen are very spacious pull throughs that include picnic benches and fire rings. Most sites also have a tent pad. Beautiful views of the foothills and reservoir. There is a 12 mile trail around the perimeter of the reservoir, which is great for running and biking. Very pretty scenery. Nine miles of that is a concrete pathway, and the three miles over the dam are gravel. Lots of deer and rabbits. One evening after a heavy rain, we saw a ton of frogs along the pathway. The bathrooms and showers are a little on the “meh” side and since we had full hookups, we didn’t use them much. There are vault toilets all over the park—we rarely used them, but handy if you’re on a long excursion in the park. We loved that they have laundry here! The machines require you to download an app, which isn’t my first preference, but it’s better than requiring quarters. (My first choice is the ability to use a credit card directly.) Note that the laundry room in Loop C is MUCH nice than in Loop B, and includes a large table for folding clothes. The park is inside the city of Littleton, so you have a ton of access to grocery stores, restaurants, and an Amazon locker—which was super handy for ordering online.
This is definitely one of our all time favorite places to stay and we’ll likely continue making annual visits.
Basic, no-frills park with easy access to the town of Carbondale. We quite liked it here. Just outside of the park is a paved walking/biking path that goes forever in either direction. It’s an easy walk to restaurants and other businesses in Carbondale. We rode our bikes to Glenwood Springs one day. I think theoretically you can take the bike path all the way to Aspen, but during our stay part of the path was closed. (Not sure my butt was adequately trained for 50 miles of cycling anyway—even with e-bikes.) We had full hookups at our site. It’s a pretty small park. Camp host greets you when you arrive and tells you which site is yours. Only thing I didn’t really like was the showers: you had to press a button for 60 seconds of water.
We’d absolutely stay here again, if anything just for the easy access to that paved trail. Oh, and a warning: don’t let your GPS try and take you down this dead-end on your way to this park!
We only stayed here for about 16 hours, so obviously we didn’t explore the full offerings of the park. It’s a nice place, with a good number of trees and other greenery. Our pull through space was perfectly level, which meant we didn’t have to unhitch or level our trailer. That’s always appreciated on layover stops like this one. However, the spot was BARELY long enough for our 30′ Airstream and 20′ truck. Both bumpers protruded several inches into the street. Not enough to worry about for such a short stay, but had we been there for longer I would have had to unhitch for that reason alone. We chatted with a few other campers and employees, all of whom were very pleasant and friendly. The roads were easy to navigate. It’s close the freeway, which was very convenient, and we heard literally zero traffic noise during our time there. The spaces are pretty dang close to one another but, again, for a short stay, that’s a non-issue. The men’s bathrooms were nice and clean and my wife reported that the women’s room was REALLY nice and clean. We’d definitely stay again.
We were initially reluctant to give this place a try because of the lack of reviews, but we’re glad we did. Synder was perfectly located for our overnight stop and all we really wanted was a quiet, safe place to park for the night. Trailertopia suited our needs just fine. One of the owners, Cliff, came out to meet us when we arrived, led us to our spot for the night, and was a pleasure to speak with. The roads were pretty bumpy and the park itself was a bit run down, but it was a quiet and safe place where we got a good night’s rest before another long travel day. The park appeared to cater mostly to long term residents and although some of the RVs there had seen better days, it wasn’t overridden by the clutter. It was also located several miles away from the freeway, so there was little traffic noise. There were a surprising number of trees on the property, providing more shade than expected. For only $35/night including full hookups, this place is an absolute steal. We’ll definitely be back next time we pass through town.
This is a nice, basic, no-frills park. Each site is almost oddly spacious. I say “oddly” because the vast majority of small commercial RV parks we’ve encountered have what I’d characterize as “cramped” sites. Not here. We had plenty of room on all sides. This place doesn’t offer much more than full hookups and a place to park your rig. And that’s exactly what we needed. We were just passing through town on our way to California and only stayed one night. The price was right ($40), it was easy to get to from the freeway, and getting in and out the park was a breeze. The owners were very nice and friendly.
The single biggest drawback to this place it the thoroughly sketchy surrounding neighborhood. It was truly awful. We were even advised by the owners NOT to walk around outside the park boundaries. They didn’t have to tell us twice. When we drove in, we passed one dilapidated home after another. Stripped down cars missing wheels and windshields dumped on the street and in yards. Trash everywhere. It’s amazing to me that any business could survive in that environment. For this reason alone, we will probably not return this park. It’s too bad.
