North Shore RV Park & General Store

8 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

North Shore RV Park and General Store in Loveland, Colorado, offers 8 RV sites and two cabins along US Highway 34, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Full-hookup back-in and dry camping categories give two clear price points, with a general store, laundry, and dump station in the Front Range foothills. Eight back-in sites run in back-in and dry camping categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 70 feet. The dry camping tier gives self-contained rigs a genuine budget option, and 70 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Two cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, and dump station handle the practical side. Two billing notes: electricity is not included in the price for monthly rentals or storage, and if you need a 50-amp site, contact the campground directly rather than assuming availability. Boating, fishing, water sports, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking all run nearby. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates workable in an expensive corridor. Pets are welcome. The position is the appeal. The park sits at the eastern threshold of the Big Thompson River Canyon, the dramatic route US-34 takes climbing toward Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Larimer County's recreational lakes — Carter, Horsetooth, and Lake Loveland — are close for boating and paddling, and Loveland itself has a substantial public art and sculpture scene. Summer is peak in the Front Range, with Rocky Mountain National Park filling from June through September. Reserve well ahead, and ask about monthly rates.

Sixty-two sites span full hookup, full hookup premium, full hookup small, full hookup small premium, and full hookup pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The small-site categories right-size for compact rigs and vans rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Thirty-six cabins, cottages, and lodges and nine tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Check-in is 1pm for campsites and 3pm for cabins, with checkout at 11am. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, gaga ball, basketball, sports courts, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking run on site. Estes Park is one of the most sought-after mountain resort communities in the West, and the elevation keeps summers comfortable. Summer is the short, intense season at Rocky Mountain. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

Tucked into the mountain scenery of Gilpin County just forty-five minutes from Denver and thirty minutes from Golden, Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon puts guests at the gateway to one of Colorado's most beloved natural playgrounds without requiring a deep-mountain commitment to reach it. Located in Black Hawk on Highway 46, the campground sits adjacent to Golden Gate Canyon State Park—12,000 acres of Front Range backcountry with 35 miles of hiking and biking trails—and just down the road from the gambling establishments of Black Hawk and Central City, creating a range of options unusual for a mountain campground of its size. Thirty-one full hookup sites accommodate big rigs with many pull-through configurations, and the mountain surroundings give even a standard RV pad a sense of the high country. Glamping cabins offer a fully outfitted alternative, each with a full-size bed and twin bunks, electric, heater, and linens provided. A well-stocked convenience store and a community fire pit serve practical and social needs, and a pavilion provides a covered gathering space for groups. Modern restrooms with heated floors and laundry facilities round out the amenity profile. Propane fills are available on-site, and the pet-friendly policy with walking trails ensures four-legged travelers are genuinely welcome. The Colorado mountains surrounding Base Camp deliver the visual drama that defines a Front Range campground at elevation. Colorful aspen groves ring the property and put on a spectacular autumn show from mid-September through early October, when golden color draws leaf-peepers from Denver and beyond. Mountain meadows, wildflower patches in early summer, and long views from the higher portions of the property give the campground a natural backdrop that changes character through the seasons. Wildlife is a regular presence—mule deer, red foxes, and an assortment of mountain birds move through on their daily rounds. Golden Gate Canyon State Park is the primary outdoor destination for guests, with trails ranging from easy meadow walks to challenging ridge hikes with views stretching to the Continental Divide. Fishing in Ralston Creek and the park's Kriley Pond is accessible within the park boundary. Black Hawk and Central City—historic mining towns that became Colorado's first legal gambling communities—are minutes away with casinos, restaurants, and entertainment options that provide a lively counterpoint to the outdoor programming. The Peak to Peak Scenic Byway passes directly through the area and connects to Rocky Mountain National Park to the north for a spectacular full-day drive. Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon operates seasonally and draws a strong mix of Denver metro residents looking for a quick mountain getaway and out-of-state visitors using it as a Front Range staging ground for broader Colorado exploration. Fall weekends during peak aspen color sell out quickly, and summer reservations should be made well in advance. The combination of Denver accessibility, a stellar state park next door, and a casino town minutes away makes Base Camp genuinely versatile across different types of campers and travelers. Book early for fall color weekends—this one fills up fast.

Applewood RV Resort

5 RV Sites

Applewood RV Resort in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offers five full-hookup RV sites immediately west of Denver, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a laundry, showers, dump station, and on-site dining in Jefferson County. Five sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 25 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to check carefully before booking: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs — this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers — and service tops out at 30-amp. Each space rental includes four guests, with a fee for additional people. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, personal mailboxes, and on-site dining handle the practical side. A lake, pond, and creek sit nearby for fishing, with a water park, golf course, and state park close. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which is the trade for the address. Pets are welcome. Full-service RV camping this close to downtown Denver is genuinely scarce, and that is the entire proposition. Wheat Ridge is an inner suburb, which puts the city's restaurants, museums, and sports venues within 15 minutes and Red Rocks Amphitheatre a short drive southwest. The Clear Creek Trail runs through Wheat Ridge for cycling, Golden and the Coors brewery are minutes west, and I-70 climbs directly into the Front Range for Rocky Mountain National Park and the ski corridor. Summer drives the heaviest demand along the Front Range, with concert season at Red Rocks running spring through fall. Reserve well ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

Colorado Heights Camping Resort

243 RV Sites

Colorado Heights Camping Resort in Monument, Colorado, offers 243 RV sites across 28 pine-forested acres at 7,000 feet, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Full-hookup and no-sewer categories at both amperages join pull-in and pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, mini-golf, and Pikes Peak in view. Two hundred forty-three sites span 30-amp full, 30-amp full pull-in, 30-amp full pull-through, 30-amp no sewer, 30-amp no sewer pull-through, 30-amp pull-in, 50-amp full, and 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. The category names are unusually direct — a site labeled "no sewer" tells you exactly what you are getting, and prices accordingly. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with mini-golf, a recreation center, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and pavilion filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking round it out. Monument sits on the Front Range's Palmer Divide in El Paso County, where the Rampart Range's ponderosa hills meet the Pike National Forest and Pikes Peak's 14,115-foot summit fills the western view. The Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame are all close. Summer is peak in the Colorado high country. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

River Dance RV Resort

39 RV Sites

River Dance RV Resort in Gypsum, CO, offers 39 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 72 feet. Sites break into three categories — full-hookup 50/30-amp back-ins, full-hookup 50/30-amp pull-thrus, and full-hookup back-in sites sized for vans and small campers — each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. The van and small-camper sites are a thoughtful touch in a valley where most parks are built for coaches. The resort is open all year. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and propane fills handle resupply, and pets are welcome. The property has private Eagle River access with its own beach, which is the resort's real amenity — guests fish, paddle, and swim without leaving the grounds, and walking trails run alongside. Hiking, biking, birding, and nearby hot springs fill out the rest. Gypsum sits in the broad Eagle River valley below the White River National Forest, about 20 minutes west of Vail and 15 minutes east of Glenwood Springs. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Ski season and summer river season both run busy, so reserve early either way.

An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a jumping pillow, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, walking trails, golf cart rentals, a playground, community fire pit, and picnicking filling the grounds. A river runs the property for fishing, and the birding is productive. Pets are welcome. Thirty-five acres with mountain sunrise and sunset views puts the Royal Gorge experience within reach from camp — one of the most geologically significant canyon systems in the Rocky Mountain West, with the Arkansas River corridor and its whitewater alongside. Summer is peak. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Mountain View RV Resort

40 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 2 Glamping Sites

Mountain View RV Resort in Cañon City, CO, offers 40 full-hookup RV sites, 2 cabins, and 2 glamping sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet.

The resort is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a community fire pit. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Sport courts, basketball, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, a lake, and creek frontage fill the grounds, with fishing, hiking, and birding, and a casino and wineries nearby.

Salida RV Resort

85 RV Sites

Salida RV Resort in Colorado offers 85 full-hookup RV sites on more than 1,600 feet of private Arkansas River frontage, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium riverside back-in and premium mountain view categories join standard mountain view back-in and pull-through tiers, with a boat ramp, fitness center, and clubhouse. Eighty-five sites span mountain view back-in, mountain view pull-thru, premium mountain view back-in, premium mountain view pull-thru, and premium riverside back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Every category is named for its outlook, which tells you what the property is selling — river or mountains, and how close. A laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A boat ramp gives direct river access for boating and fishing, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, billiards, pickleball, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. Private river frontage in Chaffee County is a serious claim. The Arkansas carves through the Sawatch Range's eastern foothills between the Collegiate Peaks and the Sangre de Cristos here, and the whitewater, fishing, and trail access make this one of the most concentrated adventure-sport landscapes in the American West. Salida's historic downtown is close. Summer is peak in the Colorado high country, when the rafting season runs and the passes are open. Reserve well ahead for June through August, with fall color drawing a strong September.

The property sits on 13 acres on a sweeping bend of the White River, with fishing straight from the site and hiking from the grounds. Off-road riding and golf are nearby. Meeker is a small ranching and hunting town in Rio Blanco County, where the Flat Tops Wilderness begins to shadow the valley floor — the park has been a quiet Colorado secret since 2006.
