Description
|
| Hecla
Junction Campground |
Hecla
Junction campground is located at the traditional take out for the
Browns Canyon run, you can expect to see all sorts of rafting and
kayaking activity here. But once the boats come off the water, life
returns to normal, and your camping experience begins. Fishing has
been known to be pretty good in this stretch of the river, and several
hiking opportunities are available around the site. |
| Railroad
Bridge Campground |
Railroad
Bridge campground is a popular river access point for boaters and
gold-panners alike. It also is located fairly close to some of the
better known climbing in the region. |
| Rincon
Campground |
Rincon
campground is conveniently located, and seems to attract more of an
RV crowd. Some of the best fishing along the river is found here,
up and down river from Rincon. It is also a takeout for boaters wanting
a more mellow float trip on the Arkansas. |
| Ruby
Mountain Campground |
Ruby
Mountain is one of the most popular campground sites, especially for
private boaters. This site is one of the few sites that commercial
rafting companies can't utilize. This means that the boat ramp, campground
and picnic areas are exclusively for the private users. Along with
the excellent river access, several trails in the area lead into the
backcountry. |
