Point Barr Campground

Point Barr Campground offers 12 basic campsites ($28/night) with potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and river access along the Arkansas River, approximately 4. 7 miles east of Salida.

Access via Fremont CR 7/CR 45 is technical with narrow single-lane stretches and a tight 12'3" x 10'6" railroad trestle crossing; trailers up to 15 feet are possible for experienced drivers, but motorhomes are not recommended.

The site features hiking, horseback riding, fishing access, and unique gold panning opportunities (permits available seasonally), making it ideal for both anglers and paddlers exploring the Salida to Vallie Bridge river section.
