Oh Be Joyful Recreation Area

There is no running water. This campground is nestled in a valley below mountain peaks and Slate River runs right past the campground. Many people come Oh Be Joyful to view waterfalls on Oh Be Joyful Creek which is a short hike west of the campground. The views from the campground are particularly stunning, especially in fall when much of the valley is blanketed with gold aspen leaves. There is some day use parking for short hikes. For more information, please contact the BLM Gunnison Field Office. NOTE: All campsites are reservable on Recreation.gov. It is highly recommended to have a reservation prior to arrival as the campground is almost always full.
