Why Camp Here

What you are paying for here is position on the tailwater, not the view from your tent. The setting is rolling high desert near the reservoir, with boat launches and day-use areas close by, so it works as a base for both river and lake days. Facilities are straightforward: paved parking spurs, vault toilets and potable water. Outside the reservation season, sites go first come, first served.

Tip: Float Little Hole to Browns Park or wade the evening rise.

Quick Answers

Do I need a reservation at Dripping Springs Campground?
Reservable via recreation.gov.
What elevation is Dripping Springs Campground?
5600 feet. Season: April-Oct.
Why camp at Dripping Springs Campground?
Because almost nothing else on the A-section lets you sleep two miles from the river and start walking. The Little Hole National Recreation Trail leaves from near camp and follows the water for seven miles. Facilities stay simple, vault toilets and potable water, on paved parking spurs.
