shelters ~$135-$400/day + a $10-15 vehicle pass

combined shelters $270 weekday/$400 weekend, single shelter $135 weekday/$200 weekend, visitor center overlook cap 100 guests w/ reservoir + mountain backdrop

-worth noting this is DIY state park logistics, not full-service, budget your own rentals/vendors accordingly -the river shelters only rent May through September, 9am to 9pm, and you can add the Eddy Group Campground next door (up to 120 people, $615 a night) There's also camping available if you want to stay overnight, and the Group Event Facility, Shelter A, can host up to 150 guests for larger groups.

Shelters run about $135 to $400 a day, the overlook $200-$250 per 4 hours, plus a park entry fee

State fee schedule shows a single shelter at $135 weekday or $200 weekend, combined shelters $270 weekday or $400 weekend, on top of a $10-15 daily vehicle pass. The visitor center overlook, with the San Juan Mountains and the reservoir as a backdrop, holds up to 100 guests and books in 4 hour blocks between 9am and 3pm at $200 Mon-Thu or $250 Fri-Sun, ceremony only since receptions aren't allowed there.

Reviews on Google are glowing but the ones I read are about hiking and camping rather than weddings, one reviewer called the visitor center staff top notch for answering questions about the park.

day-use shelters from ~$135-$400/day, plus a $10-15 vehicle pass

per CPW's park fee schedule, single shelter $135 weekday/$200 weekend, combined shelters $270 weekday/$400 weekend, daily vehicle pass $10-15, individual walk-in pass $4 - visitor center overlook (San Juan mountains + reservoir backdrop) holds up to 100 guests

-state park overlook/picnic shelter route, not a traditional venue so expect DIY logistics -reddit thread rec'd it directly when someone asked for an affordable mountainous CO venue under 10k
