About

The Western Slope Conservation Center in Paonia, Colorado, offers moderate camping accessible from May through September. Located at 204 Poplar Avenue, the site sits at an elevation of 5,670 feet and provides on-site parking. The facility is pet-friendly. The surrounding area includes the Paonia River Park, a reclaimed gravel mine featuring the North Fork of the Gunnison River, picnic tables, a boat ramp, and a one-mile interpretive trail. While the river park itself prohibits overnight camping, the Conservation Center provides the designated camping area. The site is managed by a nonprofit dedicated to the Lower Gunnison Watershed.
