The campgrounds here at Cebolla River are pretty good. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. This stretch is long enough
for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Cebolla River doesn't have a lot
of paddling stretches, the Highway 149 to Blue Mesa Reservoir stretch is the only one. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. The beautiful scenery of Gunnison County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great.
