Gateway RV Park

No frills here but it is a good park located in the area. Access is on a long service road which puts it relatively close to town. Most back-in sites are small but there is adjacent parking. The restrooms are clean. The Rio Grand trail and the Roaring Fork are adjacent. Very good for walking, bike riding, or fishing. A nice walk into town or a short drive. Hookups are easy and well located. WIFI is good also. Verizon is one bar LTE but there is 5G in town. The park is also adjacent to the major highway, so noise is an issue.

This was our second visit. We come to this area for the bike trails and this RV park is right off the Rio Grande trail. Having full hookups is a luxury for us since we usually boondock in the National Forest campsites closer to Denver. The facilities were great - the only nitpick is the showers are almost TOO hot and the temperature is not adjustable. Cell connection is minimal but the great Wi-Fi makes up for it. There is constant low road noise on one side of the park but nice river noise on the other side. The view is great!

Loved the location and the park was clean and hosts were friendly. We’ll maintained and great jumping off point for Aspen and Glenwood Springs. WiFi wasn’t good, but cell service was so we functioned well off our AT&T service. There was some road noise from the highway, but we slept fine. Also quite a few little bugs everywhere that we had to make an effort to keep out of the camper.

We stayed just one night and enjoyed the convenience of being within the town of Carbondale between the Roaring Fork River and Colorado Highway 82. The camp hosts helped me with a set of lost trailer keys (which we later found), the bathroom combination, and filling up the water tank. The bathrooms and showers are quite clean, the camp sites roomy enough as described on the reservation site. The highway noise was present but not obnoxious at night. There is a short path down to the boat launch on the river where the kids can throw stones into the water. There are fine views of Mt. Sopris to the south. The famous Glenwood Springs ten miles north has two different hot springs attractions and an adventure park with Fairy Cave and Kings Row Cave tours after a gondola ride up the mountain. Pricy but worth it.

Fantastic little RV Park with incredible views of Mt Sopris and the Roaring Fork River!
Our first site was a full hookup, large back in site closer to the road. Site 1. $40 nightly. Second site was also back in, overlooking the river, with water and electric hookups only at $30. It was a smaller site but the sound of the river and view were superb. All sites have a fire pit and picnic table. All sites will have road noise but we didn’t find it bothersome. There is a bike/walking path starting at the RV park, easy access to launch a kayak, and about a mile walk to town from the park. The short walk to town is flat, paved, scenic, quiet and full of gorgeous wildflowers. Walking from the RV Park will put you right at the bus station for easy access to surrounding areas. Camp hosts were awesome. Bathrooms with showers were especially clean but a bit dated. Overall, the price for the RV Park was fantastic, as Colorado tends to be a bit on the expensive side. Carbondale is a great little town and a very central location for surrounding areas like Aspen, Glenwood Springs and several scenic drives. We would absolutely return and recommend the park to anyone with any size rig.

Small gravel park with some trees.
Not a lot of privacy but pretty standard for an rv park. Spots are a little on the tighter side.
The sites have tables and fire pits.
Showers have push buttons, but they are warm.
Overall the park was clean.
Camp host was friendly.
Great spot for a quick overnight when we were leaving Aspen.

There is a little bit of road noise, we were closer to the river so it wasn’t too bad, but the side closer to the road probably gets even more.

Make sure to follow the signs, Apple Maps won’t take you to the right place.

The park also offers WiFi, but it was so slow we couldn’t even load our bill pay app, so we had to use cell signal which luckily was great at our site for both Verizon and ATT.

Clean campground with friendly hosts.bathrooms and showers were closed due to COVID when we were there. We put our Hummingbird feeder out and had them within hours. Road noise is an issue. My wife used a “white noise” app on her phone to mitigate it some. The adjacent bike path is a great way to explore the town of Carbondale. The sites are very wide and come with a picnic table and a fire ring.
