Garden of the Gods

50 RV Sites, 12 Cabins

Garden of the Gods RV Resort in Colorado Springs offers 50 full-hookup RV sites and 12 cabins in the foothills of Pikes Peak, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Deluxe pull-through and Deluxe+ back-in categories sit near one of Colorado's most visited natural landmarks, with a clubhouse, game room, and dog park. Fifty sites run in Deluxe pull-through and Deluxe+ back-in configurations carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Twelve cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Two policies to check before booking: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends carry a minimum-stay requirement. A clubhouse, game room, and arcade cover indoor hours, with a playground and dog park on the grounds. The resort is built as a base for the Pikes Peak corridor rather than a destination in itself, and the amenity set reflects that honestly. Pets are welcome. Garden of the Gods Park is the namesake and the neighbor — 300-million-year-old red sandstone fins and monoliths rising vertically from the plains, and one of the most visited natural landmarks in Colorado. The full Pikes Peak recreation and tourism infrastructure and Front Range metropolitan access follow from there. Summer is peak in Colorado Springs. Reserve well ahead, and confirm RV age approval if your coach is over ten years old.

Mesa Campground

Three miles west of Gunnison on US Highway 50, Mesa Campground sits at the gateway to one of Colorado's most compelling outdoor corridors, with the Gunnison River within walking distance and Blue Mesa Reservoir—Colorado's largest body of water—just minutes down the road. The campground offers full hookup sites for rigs of all sizes, cabin rentals, and proximity to both Curecanti National Recreation Area and the broader Gunnison Valley that makes this part of Colorado a legitimate four-season destination. The combination of river access, a national recreation area next door, and proximity to Crested Butte and Black Canyon makes Gunnison a natural hub for serious outdoor travelers. The campground's sites range from open and shaded options with 30 and 50-amp service to luxury pull-through configurations suited to the largest motorhomes. Free shared WiFi covers the property, and pet-friendly restrooms and showers reflect a campground culture that treats traveling pets as genuine guests. A well-maintained laundromat, communal fire pits, a small playground, and an on-site clubhouse, recreation center, and general store keep the operation self-sufficient for guests who prefer to limit trips to town. Propane service and boat storage accommodate guests who arrive between outings on Blue Mesa or the river. Cabins are available for those seeking a more contained stay. The Gunnison River is the natural focal point of the campground's immediate setting, and walking access to its banks provides easy trout fishing—the river holds brown and rainbow trout in quality numbers through the season—and the particular calm of a high-country river corridor available at whatever time of day fits your schedule. Blue Mesa Reservoir, three miles from the campground, is Colorado's largest body of water and one of the best Kokanee salmon fisheries in the West. Curecanti National Recreation Area surrounds the reservoir system and offers boating, paddling, and scenic canyon geology. Crested Butte, one of Colorado's most beloved mountain towns and a world-class ski and mountain biking destination, is 28 miles north of Gunnison on Highway 135. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park—a dramatically narrow canyon carved by the river itself—is accessible to the west for a day trip that ranks consistently among the most visually striking geological experiences in the Rocky Mountain region. The Gunnison area also anchors an off-road vehicle network extending into the surrounding mountains, and mountain biking trails out of Gunnison and Crested Butte are among Colorado's best. Mesa Campground operates year-round and provides a genuinely useful base for campers who want to explore the Gunnison Valley's remarkable concentration of outdoor opportunity. Summer is the peak season for water recreation on Blue Mesa and trails at Crested Butte, while fall brings extraordinary aspen color across the valley. Winter brings ski access at Crested Butte for guests willing to make the short drive over Kebler Pass. Book your site early for summer weekends and fall aspen season, and use the Gunnison Valley as the base camp it deserves to be.

Oasis RV Resort & Cottages

31 RV Sites

Oasis RV Resort and Cottages in Gunnison, Colorado, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites across from Blue Mesa Reservoir, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet.

Thirty-six sites span back-in, Big Rig pull-thru, large back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet, with picnic tables. A dedicated Big Rig category removes the guesswork, and 100 feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. The park sits a half mile west of the concrete boat ramp at Stevens Creek and three miles east of Elk Creek Marina. A marina and boat ramp open the water for boating and fishing, with a pavilion, playground, community fire pit, dog park, volleyball, horseshoes, and corn hole filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Blue Mesa is Colorado's largest body of water at more than 9,000 surface acres, in the Black Canyon country of Gunnison County. Curecanti National Recreation Area, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Crested Butte are all within reach. Summer is the short, intense season in the Colorado high country.

Palisade Basecamp RV Resort

66 RV Sites

Palisade Basecamp RV Resort in Palisade, Colorado, offers 66 full-hookup RV sites on 14 acres along the Colorado River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 62 feet. Site names tell you what you are booking — River Bluff, Vineyard, Deluxe, and Premium in both back-in and pull-through — in the heart of Colorado wine country. Sixty-six sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, split between back-in and pull-through configurations sized to 62 feet. Deluxe, Premium, Vineyard, and River Bluff categories differ by position on the property rather than hookup type. A general store, propane fills, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a dump station cover the practical side, and WiFi reaches the sites. Check-in is 1pm, check-out 11am, with quiet hours from 10pm to 8am; river-bottom sites check in at the main office. On-site amenities are geared to guests who spend their days out. A dog park, playground, and game room serve families and pets, and hiking, biking, swimming, paddle boats, and horseshoes run from the property. The 14-acre scale keeps the resort compact and walkable. Pets are welcome. Palisade's wine district holds more than 30 estate wineries within a short drive, and the Grand Valley's peach orchards make it the most productive fruit-growing area in the Rocky Mountain West. The Colorado River runs along the property for paddling and fishing, Colorado National Monument's canyons are close, and Grand Mesa is an easy day trip. The resort operates through the western Colorado season. Peach harvest and the fall wine calendar make late summer and early autumn the busiest stretch — book well ahead for September and October weekends.

Junction West Grand Junction RV Park

Positioned on the western edge of Grand Junction at a natural crossroads between the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains, Junction West RV Park has served as the gateway base camp for I-70 corridor travelers and Colorado wine country visitors for years. The park sits halfway between Salt Lake City and Denver—a key stopping point for cross-country travelers who also discover that Grand Junction's outdoor and cultural offerings warrant a day or two of deliberate exploration rather than a quick overnight. Extra-wide pull-through sites, three dedicated dog parks, and spotless facilities distinguish this park from the functional but forgettable highway stops that populate the I-70 corridor on either side. Pull-through sites with full 30/50-amp hookups and picnic tables accommodate rigs with slides and tow vehicles without compromise, and the air-conditioned laundry room with tiled private showers makes overnight turnover comfortable even during the summer desert heat that characterizes Grand Junction in July. Free high-speed Wi-Fi connects throughout the property, a convenience store and propane service operate six days per week, and a recreation room provides indoor options for families waiting out the afternoon thunderstorms common on the Western Slope. Three separate dog parks allow pet owners to exercise multiple dogs simultaneously, earning consistent praise from the traveling pet community on roads where dog park access is frequently scarce. Colorado National Monument, the dramatic plateau of sandstone fins, monoliths, and canyon overlooks that defines Grand Junction's western skyline, begins just a short drive from the park at the Fruita entrance. Rim Rock Drive's 23 miles of paved canyon-edge road deliver some of the most accessible high-desert scenery in the American West, and the monument's hiking trails range from easy canyon floor walks to challenging ridge routes with views across the Grand Valley far below. Colorado River State Park's paved trail along the riverfront provides flat, shaded exercise territory within the valley floor. The Grand Valley's 17-plus licensed wineries concentrate around the towns of Palisade and Clifton, producing award-winning merlots, rieslings, and cabernets from vineyards that benefit from the valley's intense summer sun and cool overnight temperatures that rival Napa in diurnal range. Downtown Grand Junction's Main Street district anchors the city's dining and arts scene, with the Museum of Western Colorado and its dinosaur fossil exhibits providing a compelling half-day stop for families. The Grand Mesa—the world's largest flat-top mountain at 10,000 feet—rises dramatically to the southeast and hosts summer wildflower hikes, fishing on more than 300 alpine lakes, and fall aspen color that rivals any display in the Rockies. Grand Junction's desert climate makes spring and fall the most comfortable seasons for outdoor exploration, with mild temperatures and clear skies throughout April-May and September-October. Summer heat on the plateau can be intense, but the proximity to Grand Mesa's high-elevation cool air offers a reliable temperature escape just 30 miles away. The park operates year-round and welcomes both short-term travelers and longer-stay winter visitors who appreciate the Grand Valley's 300-plus annual sunny days—book ahead for peak summer weeks when wine country visitors and I-70 through-travelers fill the Western Slope well into evening.

Cedar Creek RV Park

Cedar Creek RV Park in Montrose, Colorado, offers full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric alongside cabins and glamping accommodations on a creekside property in the Uncompahgre Valley. Back-in and pull-through sites, on-site dining, a dog park, and walking trails make this a comfortable base in the gateway city to Colorado's western slope. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations, with site WiFi throughout. Cabins and glamping units serve guests who want a furnished alternative without giving up the creekside setting. A general store, propane fills and exchange, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a dump station handle the practical side, and on-site dining covers meals. The property is built for guests who spend days out and want comfort on return. A playground, dog park, pavilion, and walking trails run the grounds along the creek, with planned activities through the season. The surrounding country supports mountain biking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, boating, and birding, with skiing and wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. Montrose is the most practical basecamp in western Colorado. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park lies east, the Grand Mesa's lake plateau north, and the San Juan Mountains south via the Million Dollar Highway toward Ouray, Silverton, and Telluride. The Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area is also close. Seasons shape the visit sharply here. Winter runs cold and snowy with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s, good for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the Black Canyon and generally quiet at the park. Spring through fall carries the bulk of demand — reserve ahead for summer and fall color.

Junction West Durango Riverside

97 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Junction West Durango Riverside in Durango, Colorado, offers 70 full-hookup RV sites and two cabins along the Animas River in the Hermosa Valley, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Riverfront back-in and super pull-through categories sit alongside an outdoor pool, on-site dining, a boutique shop, and a game room. Seventy sites run in back-in, riverfront back-in, pull-through, and super pull-through configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The riverfront category is worth requesting — the river is the property's defining feature. Two cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The amenity roster reduces the need to leave the property. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, on-site dining and a snack bar cover meals, and a game room and boutique shop fill the rest. Swimming and fishing run from the river, which the resort follows where the Animas emerges from the canyon above town and widens through the Hermosa Creek confluence. Pets are welcome. Durango's downtown is minutes south, with its dining and craft brewery scene, and the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad — running through the San Juan Mountains since 1882 — is 12 miles away. The resort serves the southwestern Colorado season. Summer railroad traffic and fall color in the San Juans drive peak demand, and Durango lodging tightens considerably in both windows. Reserve well ahead, and request a riverfront site early if you want one.

from $45/night

Trail & Hitch RV Park and Tiny Home Hotel

Trail & Hitch RV Park and Tiny Home Hotel in Meeker, CO, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available.

Call ahead to confirm your rig's fit before reserving.

Meadows of San Juan Resort

In the wide-open ranching landscape of the Uncompahgre Valley in western Colorado, Meadows of San Juan Resort in Montrose offers a full-service destination that serves as a natural gateway to some of the most spectacular canyon and mountain scenery in the American West. With 120 RV sites and a diverse range of lodging options including lodges, premium cabins, and rustic cabins, the resort scales comfortably from weekend getaways to month-long snowbird stays. Montrose itself occupies a strategic position in western Colorado—a working city surrounded by dramatic public lands that most travelers rush past without stopping to explore. The resort's Country Barn Guest Center anchors the communal experience, housing billiards, cornhole, ping pong, board games, and a new pickleball court. A seasonal indoor/outdoor pool keeps guests cool through Colorado's warm summer afternoons, and a bark park, horseshoes, and shuffleboard round out the outdoor recreation options. A fitness center, game room, general store, laundry, and full shower facilities handle daily practicalities, and the gathering hall and scheduled summer activities foster the social community that makes longer stays at a well-run resort genuinely enjoyable. The resort accommodates 50-amp service and features a dump station for self-contained travelers. Montrose sits at 5,800 feet in the Uncompahgre Valley, where the plateau and canyon country of the Colorado Plateau meets the western flanks of the San Juan Mountains to the south and east. The Uncompahgre River drains northward through the valley in a corridor of cottonwood and willow that softens the high-desert landscape and provides excellent habitat for birding and fishing. The valley's agricultural heritage—peach orchards, livestock operations, and hay meadows—gives the surrounding landscape an unhurried, ranching character that provides a welcome contrast to the dramatic canyon scenery that begins just outside of town. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, roughly 15 miles east of Montrose, presents one of the most dramatic and least-visited canyon experiences in the national park system—sheer dark walls dropping 2,000 feet to the Gunnison River in a chasm so narrow that some sections receive only 33 minutes of sunlight per day. Ouray, 35 miles south on the Million Dollar Highway, is Colorado's "Switzerland of America"—a hot-spring town encircled by 13,000-foot peaks and accessible via one of the most scenic drives in the state. The Blue Mesa Reservoir, Colorado's largest body of water, provides fishing and boating within easy range, and Telluride's ski resort and mountain town are under 80 miles southwest. Spring and summer are prime exploration seasons from Meadows of San Juan, with wildflowers carpeting the mountain meadows and long days allowing extended exploration of the park and canyon country. Fall color in the San Juans arrives brilliantly in late September and early October, and the resort's central position gives easy access to multiple color destinations within a single day. Winter visitors find a quieter resort at reduced rates, with cross-country skiing in the San Juans and the perpetually dramatic scenery of Black Canyon available year-round. Reserve your site or cabin at Meadows of San Juan Resort and experience western Colorado's astonishing landscape from the comfort of a full-service base camp.

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.

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.
