Amenities include picnic tables and campfire rings. An accessible vault toilet with a night light is provided. Firewood may be purchased from the host. Campfire programs are presented periodically throughout the summer.

No drinking water is available. Campers must bring their own supply.

The campground is located about 7 miles southwest of Creed, Colorado at an elevation of 8,800 feet. Campsites are open with few trees. The sun hits the campground in the late morning, after cool early morning temperatures.

Rio Grande National Forest spans 1.86 million acres in south-central Colorado. The Continental Divide runs for 236 miles along most of the forest's western border, presenting a myriad of ecosystems from alpine desert to rugged wilderness.

Camp was well maintained and in great condition. The current site manager, Melvin, does an excellent job of keeping all aspects of the property in good order. He constantly tours the property and does work as needed.

This campground is very convenient to the highway but far enough away so you don’t have traffic noise. The views are amazing from any site but really spectacular from the ones on the river. The host was so nice and really helped us to feel welcome. The restrooms were always clean and so nice to have. We loved staying here so much we extended our stay as long as our water held. Highly recommend this campground.

This was a lovely location for a home site for the Creede Headwaters Music Festival. I got the last reserved spot (1), and would have loved a few others that were first-come-first serve spots. They were empty when we got there, but the camp host said that we could not move to one of them--other comments had suggested that you could, so not sure about that. Very nice and clean, had been kept up well, and our neighbors all seemed to be having a good time as well. Not hard to get to, easy to park/pull in, fine bathrooms. Do be aware there is no access to water, so bring your own--

Marshall Park has beautiful Mountain views, along the Rio Grande. It’s not a far drive to Creede. Melvin, the camp host, was very friendly & kept the park in excellent condition. The bathrooms were clean, we even noticed he moped the floors.
