2nd Annual Campout on the Colorado

Eagle County 4×4 is hosting our 2nd annual group camping weekend at Rancho del Rio for the nights of August 16 & 17, 2024. Plan on arriving Friday afternoon or evening. We’ve reserved the large group campsite right along the river including the covered picnic area. Campfires will be allowed, subject to local fire restrictions at the time. The registration fee (per person) includes riverfront camping, usage of the resort facilities (boat launch, picnic pavilion, etc), basic grillables on Friday evening if you’re there on time, daily breakfast, and a Saturday night cookout. Please plan out your fuel and supply needs. Northern Eagle County is a remote area. The nearest gas stations and grocery stores are in Kremmling, Eagle, and Edwards (all about 35 minutes drive). Rancho del Rio offers a small convenience store and limited regular gasoline. Expect isolated resort selection and prices. If your daily travels take you near town, it’s worth the detour. A club membership (associate or voting) will be required by the time of the event. What to bring:

• camping gear
• personal food and drink
• GMRS radio for group communication
• any recreation equipment (fishing, rafting, kayaking, etc)
• extra fuel if you’re wheeling and not planning to visit town!

Optional activities:

• We’ll self-organize trail runs in the area for Saturday and Sunday once we see who is attending. We’ll likely do Crescent and Mackinaw Lakes on Saturday and Sheephorn on Sunday.
• Saturday night after dinner there will be live music by Ryan Balthrope & Slide Bayou.
• Use of the resort property, including the boat ramp, is included.
• The resort rents rafts, kayaks, etc.
• River shuttles and guided river trips are available.
