Set aside Thursday, August 21st to Tuesday, August 26th, 2014 for the 5 night/6 day Ridgeway State Park camping trip.
Ridgway State Park is located about 10 miles north of the town of Ridgway.
We will tent camp in the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk Loop H walk-in sites on a small wooded hill above the UnCompahgre River (good fishing) on the west side of the state park, below the reservoir dam. All of the walk-in tent sites are ~1,500 feet from the parking lot, so push carts are used to haul all camping gear uphill to each site.
Anyone wanting to use RV trailer sites, I’d suggest Pa-Co-Chu-Puk Loop G and F.
Another option to RV or tent camping are the three yurts at the Dutch Charlie area above the reservoir dam, which sleep up six people each.
Each Ridgway campground offers:
Restrooms with coin-operated showers, laundromat, snack machines and a change machine in a Camper Services Building
A playground
Additional restrooms Hiking and biking trails
