Camping at Ruedi Marina Campground near Carbondale

Public campground · Carbondale · 7 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The recreation possibilities center on water and river access and on a sturdy mountain hike. Boating, swimming and water skiing are done on Ruedi Reservoir, while excellent fly fishing begins below Ruedi Dam on the Fryingpan River, where rainbow, brown, cutthroat and brook trout feed on Mysis shrimp.

“We messed up our booking date and Jeff the camp host was super helpful and nice. We ended up staying at the tent camping loop closer to the lake, past Little Maud. Not sure how to reserve those spots online. It was a beautiful view of the water and mountain”

How far ahead to book Ruedi Marina Campground

For July weekends, book about 179 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 163 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,651 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
