Situated along the Green River at the base of towering cliffs, the Echo Park Campground provides a unique camping experience in Dinosaur National Monument. Steamboat Rock dominates the view.
Fremont petroglyphs are located on the canyon walls. Bighorn sheep and mule deer frequently roam through the campground. Unimproved hiking trails lead to the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers or to views of the Mitten Park Fault. The campground is located 38 miles (61 km) north of the Canyon Visitor Center.

Directions
Due to the rugged nature of the Echo Park Road, high-clearance vehicles with at least all-wheel-drive (AWD) are strongly recommended. RVs and trailers are not advised. The road is impassable for all vehicles when wet. From the Canyon Visitor Center in Dinosaur, Colorado, drive north on the Harpers Corner Road for 31 miles (39 km). Turn right onto the unpaved Echo Park Road. Take the Echo Park Road for 8 miles (13 km). At the fork, turn left and drive for 5 miles (8 km) to arrive at the Echo Park Campground.

Dinosaur's climate is semiarid with temperatures averaging between 0°F to 30°F (-18°C to -1°C) in January and 50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C) in July. Elevations within the park vary between 4,700 and 9,000 feet (1,433 and 2,743 m). Winter snow makes roads at higher elevations impassable while only light to moderate snow is found at lower elevations. Summer thunderstorms often cause heavy downpours and localized flooding, but may fail to dampen parched soils less than a mile away.
