About this place

The Dolores River Overlook has 6 individual walk-in camp/picnic sites, as well as one walk-in group site (3 tables and rings). There is a vault restroom at the parking area and no other camping facilities. The views of the Dolores River Canyon from this Ponderosa Pine dominated site are amazing. A short walk to down the overlook trail (includes rock steps) to the end of the ridge is well worth the effort! There is no fee at this site, and camping is on a first come, first served basis. The main use of this recreation site is for day use, though it is well suited to tent camping. While never busy, hunting season is when this site is visited most often. For more information, please contact the Tres Rios Field Office.
