About Maybell Park

You may be wondering Where In The World Maybell is. Well, we are located in the Northwest corner of Colorado off Highway 40. What makes us stand out is our yearly Horse Drive offered by the Sombrero Ranch. Where the West is still wild, and real cowboys roam. Maybell has a lot to offer in the form of simplicity. Here, children in grades K-5, learn together in a one-room schoolhouse and take part in the Colorado SOLE program. During summer months, visitors come here to play on the Yampa and Green Rivers. They also enjoy Maybell as a gateway to Sandwash Basin, Irish Canyon, Browns Park, and Dinosaur National Monument. During the hunting season, our normal population of 75 nearly triples, when Maybell becomes home away from home to hunters. Every May, during Maybell Heritage Days, you will find 600-800 horses held up in the middle of town, during the largest horse drive in North America. People come from all over the world to participate in the 60-year-old tradition, keeping the cowboy spirit alive and kicking. Whatever type of adventure you are looking to have in the Wild West, your adventure starts here.

Great central location to set up camp. I'd recommend the opposite side from 40 to minimize truck noise overnight.

This was the perfect overnight stop. It doesn't look like much driving past, but it has super clean bathrooms with hot showers, a playground for the littles, lots of wide open sites for those of us with solar, a couple of shaded areas for those who don't of sun. And all of this for only $30/ night.

Very quiet little town, nice people. Highly recommend.

Amazing little park, camping, and very clean facilities. Some of the best restrooms you’ll find for public use! Props to the people, and locals for keeping this one of the best places to stop, take some time, reset and take care of yourself; with a help of nature too!

TOILETS, REAL FLUSH TOILETS. Traveling from Salt Lake City we found that a long stretch of US 40 has no rest areas and were glad to find this place. They also have camping for $15 and a free book swap as well.
