Radium Recreation Area

Nestled within the breathtaking Upper Colorado River Special Recreation Management Area, the Radium Recreation Area offers a rugged, primitive escape in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This BLM-managed site is a premier destination for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, providing direct access to the river for fishing and boating adventures. With its serene mountain setting, it serves as an ideal basecamp for explorers eager to hit the nearby hiking and biking trails.

The campground features 16 individual campsites and two group camping sites, all equipped with fire rings and picnic tables for a classic outdoor experience. While the area provides electric hookups, visitors should come prepared as there is no potable water available on-site. Facilities are rounded out by vault toilets, day-use shade structures, and two developed boat ramps that make river access convenient for all campers.

This location is perfect for tent campers, RV travelers, and groups seeking a back-to-basics experience in one of Colorado’s most scenic regions. Whether you are planning a weekend of angling on the river or a multi-day hiking excursion, Radium Recreation Area offers a peaceful, year-round retreat for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the Colorado high country.
