Island Acres, the eastern anchor of James M. Robb Colorado River State Park, located just east of Palisade provides a choice of full hook-up, electric hook-up or walk-in tent camping. Showers and laundry facilities are available spring through fall. James M. Robb Colorado River State Park is actually five diverse sections along the Colorado River as it flows through the Grand Junction area. All sites are available on the reservation based system. Camping is also available at the Fruita Section 30 miles to the west. Nestled along the Colorado River in Debeque Canyon, Island Acres offers opportunities for walking, biking, fishing and swimming. The surrounding canyon walls offer a spectacular backdrop and maybe even a glimpse of wild horses or Big Horn Sheep. There are three fishing lakes, only two of which are stocked. A fourth lake, designated as the Swimming Hole, is surrounded by a sandy beach. Area attractions include the Grand Mesa, Colorado National Monument, museums, wineries and orchards.
