Dewey Bridge Campground
Campsites are located along the banks of the Colorado River looking across to the scenic sandstone "Entrada Bluffs" area. The campground accommodates tents and small RVs and offers quiet and shady sites. There is river access for small boats and the remains of the historic Dewey Bridge are nearby. Do not enter the river without the required life jackets; it has dangerous under currents. Kokopelli's Trail, a multiple-use trail from Loma, CO to Moab, is located nearby. Individual Sites: 8. Group Sites: 3. Fees: $20/night. Water: No. Toilets: Yes. Hook-ups: No
