River Hill Campground Boat Ramp

River Hill Campground offers a primitive boat ramp on the Rio Grande River just below Rio Grande Reservoir, accessible via Forest Road 520 about 9. 5 miles west of Highway 149.

The campground features 20 sites with amenities including drinking water, vault toilets, and parking, making it a convenient base for paddlers and anglers; however, the boat ramp is noted as primitive and not recommended for large boats or long trailers.

Located at 9,250 feet elevation in a scenic meadow setting, the campground is popular and typically full mid-June through August, with reservations available up to 6 months in advance through Recreation. gov.
