Lyons Gulch Campsite

Lyons Gulch is a free BLM campsite on the Colorado River featuring five tent campsites and a boat launch, located just 3. 8 miles north of I-70 near Dotsero.

The site includes a toilet facility (closed November 15-May 15) and accommodates up to nine people per site on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a group site available for larger parties.

Note that cat holes are prohibited due to proximity to the river, and camping is not recommended during heavy rains due to mudslide and flooding risks.
