Perched beside the Westwater Ranger Station on the Colorado River, Westwater Campground is a small, serviceable base for river trips and trail access rather than a full-service resort. There are 11 campsites in total each configured to accommodate both RVs and tents with room for two vehicles (a vehicle towing a trailer counts as two). Every site has a picnic table, fire ring and nearby vault toilet and trash receptacle; drinking water may be available seasonally (typically March through November) but is not guaranteed, and there are no electrical hookups. Campsites 1 7 are first-come, first-s…
Blaine H ★ 5 · Oct 2025Ranger Bob was very helpful and the Upper Cougar Bar Campsite was in great shape!
Matthew C ★ 5 · Aug 2024Love, love, love that you had, and I was able to use, the QR reservation/payment system. It worked, albeit slowly (as one would expect in a remote area). But it worked great. Ranger Ben was also awesome, informative and professional. Great time before launching onto Westwater Canyon.
Cassandra K ★ 3 · May 2024We weren't able to make full use of our site due to some circumstances beyond our control, but it seemed like a good site for a night. It would have rated higher had we actually been able to check in. We tried with the ranger, who was really nice, but he couldn't help. We were FORCED to use a phone to scan the QR code, but it would NOT scan. Every time we tried, we got a popup saying it's an invalid code! THIS SYSTEM ISN'T READY FOR THIS!!!
