Camp Eddy

We spent two nights here in September 2026, near the end of our late-summer filming trip. Erin wrote one of her Erin's Corner notes right here. We were in site 25, a 50-amp pull-through, and paid about $80 a night. Our full field report is still being written, so here is what to know about the place itself.

The short version

Camp Eddy is a privately run RV park on the banks of the Colorado River in Grand Junction. Along with RV sites it rents Airstream trailers and tiny homes, and the Las Colonias Amphitheater is about a half-mile walk along the river.

The campground

• RV sites have full hookups, with back-in sites and pull-through sites, including big-rig pull-throughs.
• Shared facilities include laundry and showers, a camp store, a riverside patio and a gathering space called the Hub.
• Dogs are welcome, and there is an on-site dog park.

Las Colonias Park next door

• This city park sits along the Colorado River beside downtown Grand Junction.
• Its River Park has an accessible water channel, two standing-wave features, beach and wading areas, and a boat ramp.
• Butterfly Pond and two other ponds are open for kayaking and paddleboarding, but not swimming or tubing.
• There is an outdoor amphitheater, a native arboretum and a three-section dog park, and the Colorado Riverfront Trail runs past the amphitheater.

A little history

The name Las Colonias refers to the colonies of people who worked the area's orchards and sugar beet fields and once lived on the site. A uranium mill later operated there, and after the site was cleaned up the land was turned over to the City of Grand Junction and rebuilt as a park.

Good to know

• Colorado National Monument is close by. Its 23-mile Rim Rock Drive was begun in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the monument has its own campground, Saddlehorn.
• Colorado National Monument has an entrance fee.
• Book the RV park directly through Camp Eddy.
