Sand Island Campground

Sand Island Campground sits along the San Juan River and offers well-spaced, often private sites with foliage between campsites, plenty of room for tents and vehicles, and easy river access including a boat launch. Rock art on nearby sandstone cliffs is a frequent highlight. Facilities are basic — pit toilets and no potable water — and reviewers note cleanliness varies: many find the toilets clean but others have reported neglect. Nighttime sounds (including occasional donkey braying or highway traffic) can be noticeable for some visitors. Fees are generally described as reasonable. Good for hiking, fishing, and relaxed river camping.
