Dearhamer Campground - Ruedi Reservoir
River-side camping: Yes
Creek-side camping: Yes
Lake views: Yes
Dearhamer Campground is most likely underrated due to the campsites being very close together. The Frying Pan River enters Ruedi Reservoir behind site #5.
Sites 1, 2, 3, & 5 are all right beside the Frying Pan River, which helps block most sounds from neighboring campsites.
Miller Creek flows behind the camp host at site 6, and also along sites 8, 9, & 10. At site #10, the creek is less than 10 feet from the picnic table and fire ring.
Reservations are accepted online at Recreation.gov Several online sites and guide books incorrectly list this campground as not able to be reserved.
Dearhamer Campground is the fifth and final video in our series featuring the campgrounds in the John Ruedi Recreation Area.
The Ruedi Recreation Area is located in the Frying Pan River Valley 21 miles east of Basalt.
The 5 campgrounds here have nearly 90 campsites. Dearhamer Campground is at the far east end of the lake while the other 4 are all near the marina on the west end.
Ruedi Reservoir covers nearly 1000 acres and 12 miles of shoreline. It's proximity to Aspen & Glenwood Springs along with boating, sailing, fishing, & swimming makes it a popular destination especially on the weekends.

3. Mollie B Campground has 26 campsites. Many have some of the best views of Ruedi Reservoir compared to the other campgrounds.

Fryingpan Fish Shocking - Dumping Fish Car
Two years of extreme drought conditions and declining wildlife populations has Roaring Fork Conservancy and local citizens concerned for the health of the Fryingpan River. Beginning this month, Roaring Fork Conservancy is launching into a series of studies to better understand the river's health. The studies, collectively called the Comprehensive Lower Fryingpan River Assessment has an overall goal to ensure the environment and economical sustainability of the Lower Fryingpan River, including its designation as a Gold Medal Fishery. The 13 miles of river below Ruedi Dam is some of the most popular fly fishing in the world and pumps millions of dollars annually into the local economy.

Dashcam drive of Hwy 16a around Rushmore.
Most of the drive is pretty scenic, but below are some points of interest. For those that may be accustomed to only driving nice flat roads, this stretch of road would be challenging. The end of my drive consisted of being stuck behind someone from Nebraska that must have only driven on flat roads because, damn, they were on the brakes a lot.
5:30 - Buffalo!
27:00 - One lane tunnel #1.
31:40 - Road splits!
