Rabbit Valley Campground

About

Rabbit Valley Campground sits within the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area near Mack, Colorado, serving as a primary base for off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, hiking, and mountain biking. The facility consists of five distinct campgrounds on BLM land, offering sites ranging from secluded tent pads to large group areas capable of handling oversized rigs and horse trailers. Key amenities include picnic tables, fire pits, and pit toilets, though potable water is not reliably available on-site and must be brought in. The area is pet-friendly and requires reservations with a fee of $20 per site. Access roads are unpaved, often rough, and may require high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles, particularly for accessing Knowles Overlook via a dry stream bed. The campground is open from May through September, with summer temperatures reaching into the 100s. It is located near I-70 (Exit 2), providing relatively easy access to Grand Junction and Fruita for supplies. The landscape is high desert with sparse vegetation, offering views of the Colorado River and surrounding mesas.
