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.

Applewood RV Resort

5 RV Sites

Applewood RV Resort in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, provides full-service urban RV camping in Jefferson County's inner suburb immediately west of Denver, giving guests unmatched access to Colorado's metropolitan amenities, dining, cultural institutions, and the Rocky Mountain recreation corridor while maintaining the practical camping infrastructure—water park, pool, full hookup utilities, and a pond with fishing—that makes urban camping in one of America's most active outdoor-recreation cities genuinely comfortable. Wheat Ridge's position on the Clear Creek corridor between Denver's western suburbs and the foothills communities of Golden and Lakewood places the resort at the precise geographic transition point where metropolitan Denver's grid dissolves into the Colorado Front Range's dramatic mountain landscape. The resort's amenity package serves both the urban-access guest and the recreation-oriented camper: a water park and outdoor pool for on-property cooling during Colorado's warm summer afternoons, a pond with fishing, a river and stream access to Clear Creek's front range flow, full hookup sites with reliable utility connections, pet-friendly policies for the dogs that Colorado outdoor culture routinely involves, laundry, showers, bathrooms, personal mailboxes for extended-stay residents, and Wi-Fi serve the diverse guest population whose Jefferson County stays range from overnight transit camping to extended seasonal residency. The state park access nearby and the golf course proximity extend the recreation beyond the resort property into Jefferson County's exceptionally well-developed public land infrastructure. Wheat Ridge's Clear Creek corridor connects the resort to the Clear Creek Canyon trail system that extends westward into the Front Range's canyon terrain—mountain biking, road cycling on the Clear Creek trail to Golden and Morrison, and white water kayaking in Clear Creek Canyon's Class III-IV rapids provide Front Range outdoor recreation of national quality within minutes of the resort's urban location. The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt and the connecting Jefferson County Open Space trail network give walkers, runners, and cyclists a car-free pathway into the Denver metropolitan area's most extensive urban-edge natural area system. Golden, approximately 8 miles west via US-6 or CO-58, is Colorado's most characterful foothill community—the Coors Brewing Company's flagship brewery, the Colorado School of Mines campus on the hillside above town, the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave on Lookout Mountain, and the Clear Creek Whitewater Park in downtown Golden collectively create a day-visit destination of genuine depth and character. Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, 12 miles southwest of Wheat Ridge, is America's most beloved outdoor concert venue—the naturally formed red sandstone rock formations that frame the 9,450-seat amphitheater create an acoustic and visual environment that performers and audiences consistently rate as the finest outdoor performance setting in the country. Applewood RV Resort operates year-round in Jefferson County's Front Range climate, where the 300-plus annual sunny days that define Denver's climate reputation deliver consistent outdoor recreation conditions and the mild winter temperatures that persist on the urban edge of the Front Range make year-round RV residency viable for the extended-stay guests and seasonal snowbird community that the resort's personal mailbox infrastructure serves. Summer's afternoon thunderstorms and the Front Range's predictable daily mountain convection pattern create the dramatic cloudscapes that make Colorado's high-summer sky photography so rewarding, and the resort's proximity to I-70 gives Colorado mountain-bound travelers the most convenient urban-to-mountain launching point in the Front Range corridor.

Mountain View RV Resort

40 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 2 Glamping Sites

Seven miles west of Cañon City on US Highway 50 in Colorado's Royal Gorge country, Mountain View RV Resort earns its self-proclaimed title as the best RV park in the region through a combination of immaculately maintained full hookup sites, Starlink-powered fast WiFi, genuine mountain views, and a location three miles from one of Colorado's most spectacular natural landmarks. At 6,400 feet elevation in the foothills of the Wet Mountains and Sangre de Cristo Range, the resort provides clear high-altitude air, outstanding stargazing, and proximity to a concentration of adventure activities that makes Cañon City a legitimate Rocky Mountain destination beyond its status as a Royal Gorge gateway. The site infrastructure at Mountain View is notably well-engineered. All sites are immaculately clean, level, and fully graveled with full hookup service including 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Fifty percent of sites are pull-throughs ranging from 65 to 100 feet—accommodating the largest motorhomes without maneuvering difficulty—and 95 percent of sites feature concrete patios, fire pits, picnic tables, or upgraded outdoor furniture. Complimentary Starlink WiFi delivers the fast connectivity that remote work travelers increasingly require. Clean restrooms and showers maintained daily, coin-operated laundry, and a camp store stocked with firewood, snacks, drinks, and camping essentials complete the property's practical infrastructure. Glamping domes with luxury beds, Keurig coffee makers, mini-fridges, microwaves, and unobstructed mountain views provide a premium alternative to RV sites. Horseshoes, cornhole, basketball, and shuffleboard provide on-site recreation, and the pet-friendly policy allows up to four dogs per site. The Royal Gorge cuts through the Arkansas River canyon west of the resort in a geological spectacle—a 1,000-foot-deep chasm carved by the Arkansas River through Precambrian granite—that remains among the most dramatic natural formations in Colorado. Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, three miles from the campground, provides access to the bridge spanning the gorge (the world's highest when completed in 1929), aerial gondola rides, ziplines, and skycoaster experiences that combine engineering drama with adrenaline. The Arkansas River below the gorge is among the premier whitewater rafting destinations in the Rocky Mountains, with commercial rafting operations offering runs from beginner-friendly to expert-class. Beyond the gorge itself, the Cañon City region supports a full range of outdoor recreation that extends well into the surrounding mountains. Fishing on the Arkansas River from Salida downstream through the gorge provides excellent trout angling, and the river's Gold Medal water sections are particularly well-regarded. Horseback riding, hiking in the Wet Mountains, and photography excursions into the surrounding canyon country fill out the activity calendar. Cañon City's historic downtown, the Colorado Territorial Prison Museum, and the region's several winery and craft beer operations provide terrestrial alternatives to the outdoor lineup. Mountain View RV Resort is open year-round, and the Colorado climate in the Cañon City area—mild by Rocky Mountain standards—makes it accessible across all seasons. Summer is peak season for whitewater rafting and Royal Gorge sightseeing, while fall brings extraordinary color in the surrounding foothills and dramatically reduced crowds. Winter reservations are available for guests who appreciate quiet mountain country in the off-season. Book your site and let the Royal Gorge country earn its reputation as one of Colorado's most compelling canyon destinations.

69 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 12 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

Royal Gorge RV Resort and Cabins in Cañon City, Colorado, offers 69 full-hookup RV sites, seven cabins, 12 tent sites, and a glamping site across 35 acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 65 feet.

Accessible sites are available. Seven cabins, 12 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging.

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.

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.

Sweetwater River Resort

11 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

Sweetwater River Resort occupies 31 private acres along a half-mile of the Arkansas River in Cotopaxi, Colorado — a stretch of Highway 50 where the river cuts through the Bighorn Sheep Canyon between Cañon City and Salida, delivering some of the most dramatic high-desert river scenery in the American West. With frontage on both sides of the Arkansas and a setting in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sweetwater River Resort is one of the most scenically positioned camping destinations in Colorado. Accommodations span rustic cabins, pioneer cabins, deluxe cabins, glamping tents, four traditional motel rooms, and a Big House perched above the river — suitable for large groups who want a private space with kitchen amenities and wraparound river views. RV sites and tent sites round out the options for guests bringing their own shelter. The bath house provides hot showers near the property entrance, and the half-mile of Arkansas River frontage on both banks gives guests unfettered access for fishing, wading, and riverside relaxation throughout the day. Pets are welcome. The Arkansas River at Cotopaxi flows through the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area — a state park extending the length of the river's Colorado run that protects and provides access to some of the most celebrated whitewater in the country. Gold Medal fishing on the Arkansas draws fly anglers who prize its brown and rainbow trout, while kayakers and paddlers of all skill levels navigate the Bighorn Sheep Canyon section that runs directly through the Sweetwater property. Royal Gorge, 30 minutes west in Cañon City, is one of Colorado's most dramatic natural landmarks — a 1,000-foot-deep canyon crossed by the world's highest suspension bridge, with the Royal Gorge Route Railroad running along the canyon floor for a scenic ride unlike anything above ground. Salida, 30 minutes east, is one of Colorado's most vibrant mountain towns — art galleries, local restaurants, live music, and 14er access fill the kind of afternoon that makes Salida worth a full day of exploration. Forty-five miles of 4x4 and ATV trails at Texas Creek and the Rainbow Trail near Westcliffe extend the outdoor recreation for guests with off-road capability. Sweetwater River Resort is open through the Colorado camping season, with summer delivering the widest combination of river recreation — from whitewater rafting with the outfitters concentrated along the Highway 50 corridor to fly fishing the Gold Medal Arkansas to hiking the Sangre de Cristo foothills. The sweetwater river resort's position exactly between Cañon City and Salida makes it a natural base for exploring two of the Arkansas Valley's most appealing communities in any direction.

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.

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.

North Shore RV Park & General Store

8 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

North Shore RV and Store in Loveland, Colorado, provides a strategically located campground along US Highway 34 in the northern Front Range foothills, positioning guests at the eastern threshold of the Big Thompson River Canyon and within comfortable range of both the recreational lakes of Larimer County and the dramatic mountain terrain of Rocky Mountain National Park to the west. Serving as a practical gateway property for travelers transitioning between the Front Range urban corridor and the Rocky Mountain high country, the park combines solid utility infrastructure with an on-site general store that covers essential supply needs. Full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections accommodate a range of RV sizes along the Highway 34 corridor, and the on-site general store functions as a one-stop resource for fuel, groceries, camping supplies, and the local information that first-time visitors to the canyon country need before heading into mountain terrain. The store's presence distinguishes North Shore from parks that require guests to drive to Loveland or Estes Park for resupply, a meaningful convenience for travelers arriving late or departing early in the mountain time window before weather changes. The northern Colorado Front Range landscape surrounding Loveland is defined by the dramatic transition from the flat Great Plains to the east and the suddenly vertical granite and gneiss peaks of the Colorado Front Range to the west—a transition that happens with a geological abruptness unusual even among mountain fronts. The Big Thompson River carves a steep, forested canyon through the hogbacks west of Loveland, following a drainage that has supported recreation, ranching, and water supply infrastructure for the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District for over a century. Boyd Lake and Carter Lake, two state parks within Loveland's immediate vicinity, provide warm-water fishing, boating, and camping that supplement the colder mountain recreation available farther west. Rocky Mountain National Park, accessible via the Fall River Road entrance at Estes Park approximately 30 miles west of Loveland via Highway 34, protects over 415 square miles of alpine tundra, glacial valleys, and high-elevation peaks that include Longs Peak, the northernmost fourteener in Colorado. The park's wildlife—elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, moose, and black bear—are regularly visible from roadside pullouts and popular trail corridors, and the Trail Ridge Road crossing provides the most accessible high-alpine drive in the Rocky Mountain National Park system when it opens in late spring. Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University and a thriving brewery and dining district, lies approximately 15 miles north of Loveland along US-287. North Shore RV and Store operates year-round, with summer representing the peak season when Rocky Mountain National Park visitation reaches maximum intensity and timed entry permits are required for the most popular park zones. Spring and fall offer genuine appeal for guests who want mountain access without summer crowds, and the park's proximity to Boyd Lake State Park extends the camping season with warm-water recreation options on either end of the high-country window. Advance reservations for summer weekends are recommended, and guests heading into the park should check timed entry permit availability well before departure.

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.

Tall Texan RV Park and Cabins

84 RV Sites

Tall Texan RV Park and Cabins in Gunnison, Colorado, offers 84 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, with more than 50 years of continuous operation in the Gunnison and Crested Butte Valley. Super size and El Grande back-in categories join premium back-in, premium pull-through, standard, and super size pull-through tiers. Eighty-four sites span standard back-in, premium back-in, super size back-in, El Grande back-in, premium pull-thru, and super size pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The El Grande and super size tiers give larger rigs a proper option in a valley where space is often tight. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A game room, playground, pavilion, and pond fill the grounds, with fishing on the property and a river nearby. Offroading is close by. Pets are welcome. Fifty years of continuous operation in a competitive mountain resort market says something no amenity list can. Gunnison sits at the convergence of the Gunnison River valley and the road north to Crested Butte, with the Black Canyon, Blue Mesa Reservoir, and the West Elk Mountains all within reach. Directions: from Highway 50, turn north on Main Street (Highway 135) for 2.5 miles — if you cross the bridge over the Gunnison River you have gone too far — then right onto County Road 11 by the mailboxes and the blue campground sign, and 300 yards in. Summer is peak in the Colorado high country. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

River Dance RV Resort

39 RV Sites

On the banks of the Eagle River in Gypsum, Colorado—in the broad valley between the Flat Tops Wilderness and the southern edge of the White River National Forest, 20 minutes west of Vail and 15 minutes east of Glenwood Springs—River Dance RV Resort occupies a riverside position in one of Colorado's most recreationally rich mountain valleys, offering full hookup sites with private Eagle River frontage for fishing, tubing, and kayaking alongside a resort amenity package that includes a swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, dog park, and clubhouse in a setting where the Vail Valley's extraordinary outdoor recreation inventory is immediately and easily accessible. For Colorado Rockies travelers who want a Vail Valley experience without Vail prices, Gypsum's Eagle River corridor delivers the mountain landscape and the river access without the resort town premium. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer provide the practical infrastructure alongside flat, stable pads and WiFi connectivity throughout the property. A general store, laundry, clean bathrooms and showers, and walking trails complete the on-site amenity set. The private Eagle River frontage is the resort's most distinctive feature—guests can fish for the brown and rainbow trout that the Eagle River supports in the stretches above Gypsum from directly behind their sites, and kayaking, tubing, and wading are available without driving to a separate access point. A Park & Porch tiny home village on the property extends accommodation options beyond traditional RV sites for guests who want a more permanent-feeling structure. Gypsum sits in Eagle County in the Eagle River Valley, where the river's lower reach flows through a broader agricultural and residential valley before joining the Colorado River at the town of Eagle. The surrounding landscape transitions between the sagebrush and pinyon-juniper hillsides of the valley floor and the spruce-fir forests that begin at higher elevations in the adjacent national forest. The valley's characteristic warm, dry Colorado summer climate—sunny days, cool nights, and the dry air that makes Colorado's heat genuinely comfortable—makes the Eagle River corridor one of the most pleasant outdoor recreation environments in the Rocky Mountain region. Vail, 20 minutes east on Interstate 70, provides year-round destination recreation: world-class skiing and snowboarding on Vail Mountain in winter, and the summer transformation into hiking, mountain biking on the Epic Discovery network, the Vail Gondola providing summit access, and the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens—the highest public botanical garden in North America. Glenwood Springs, 15 minutes west, offers the world-famous Glenwood Hot Springs pool—the largest natural hot springs pool in the world—and Glenwood Canyon's extraordinary scenery on the Colorado River. River Dance operates year-round in a Colorado mountain valley that provides genuine recreational appeal in every season—skiing and snowshoeing in winter, the Eagle River's peak fishing and paddling in spring and summer, Vail's mountain biking and hiking in summer, and the remarkable fall foliage of the aspen forests turning gold throughout Eagle County from mid-September through early October. Reserve your Eagle River site at River Dance and let the Vail Valley's mountain recreation and the river running outside your door make this Gypsum campground the Colorado basecamp you'll return to every season.
