I wanted to highlight this Rangely Camper Park, a worthwhile campground area for enjoying the outdoors and conveniently located 18 miles southeast of Dinosaur National Monument.
Rangely Camper Park sits smack dab in the middle of town of Rangely, Colorado. You don't have to drive off the beaten path to arrive here. As long as you stay on Highway 64, you'll pretty much run into it. Also, you can plug Rangely Camper Park into Google Maps to find it as well.
The reason why I believe this Rangely Camper Park needs attention is because of its accessibility. It's a great stopover for an evening if you're making your way towards Dinosaur NM. It fits in well to any adventurers' itinerary who's road-tripping it.
Alright, let's get to the heart of the matter!....
The road leading to camp is on dirt, but it's flat and easy to drive on. Making your way towards the entrance feels like you've left behind your everyday stresses.
Upon arriving here, just pick an unoccupied campsite. There are 26 available sites. The campground is suitable for RV's/trailers/motorhomes and accommodates travelers with tents.
Once settled in, you must fill out a slip with identification and payment information.
There are 30 AMP and 50 AMP sites = $30
No electricity sites = $20.
In my opinion, you might as well pay the extra $10 to have unlimited electricity to charge your phone, batteries and appliances.
The campground is based around a well-maintained shower house with flush toilets (a welcome addition that's not always available), so yes, you have plenty of trees, grass and spacing to appreciate nature.
There are firepits for barbecuing with picnic tables at every site. Ultimately, the campground is ideal for grilling. There's a White River Supermarket situated 1 mile away in town for grabbing food to cook out.
During my visit in the middle of July, it was generally quiet with only a few other campsites being used. It felt like I was on my own without being disturbed by other campers. The weather was perfect with plenty of shading beside the trees and overall great for enjoying a cool evening under the stars.
Cell phone reception worked okay. It wasn't the fastest, but still enough to play on my phone for a little bit.
Waking up the next morning I felt refreshed and recharged, ready to tackle the day exploring what Dinosaur National Monument had to offer.
So, as I reflect back on my brief time here in Rangely, CO and this Rangely Camper Park, I thought I'd take a moment to write a review. Although this story will quickly get tossed away in the archives, still I believe Yelp is a fun platform to relay experiences and reminisce about fond memories. read more
