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.

Royal Gorge RV Resort & Cabins

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. Premium and deluxe back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, and jumping pillow with mountain views in both directions. Sixty-nine sites run in deluxe back-in 30/50-amp, deluxe pull-through 30/50-amp, premium back-in 30/50-amp, and premium pull-through 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Accessible sites are available. Seven cabins, 12 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. 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.

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.

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.

Silver Thread Basecamp

48 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 5 Tent Sites, 3 Wagons

On the banks of the Rio Grande River in South Fork, Colorado—at the southern foot of the San Juan Mountains where the Silver Thread Scenic Byway begins its winding ascent through mining ghost towns, alpine meadows, and the crystalline lakes and waterfalls of the Rio Grande watershed toward Lake City and the Blue Mesa Reservoir—Silver Thread Basecamp puts guests directly on one of Colorado's Gold Medal waterways, a designation given by the Colorado Wildlife Commission to the reach of the Rio Grande above South Fork that consistently produces the trophy brown and rainbow trout fishing that defines Colorado's finest coldwater angling. The basecamp's combination of covered wagon accommodations, a rustic riverside cabin, full hookup RV sites, and tent camping creates a genuinely versatile property in one of the San Juan Mountains' most scenic and least crowded gateways. Full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service line the Rio Grande's bank, with 11 riverfront sites providing the immediate streamside position where the sound of the river is continuous and the trout rise visible from the picnic table. Covered wagons with queen beds, bunk beds, full bathrooms, heating, and air conditioning accommodate up to six guests each in the uniquely Colorado shelter format that combines the spirit of the frontier with the practical comfort of solid construction. A rustic cabin with a refrigerator, microwave, WiFi, and Smart TV rounds out the accommodation options. Hot tub and sauna service, a modern laundry, hot showers, a country store with propane fills, and a barbecue pavilion complete the basecamp infrastructure. South Fork sits at 8,180 feet in Rio Grande County at the confluence of the Rio Grande and the South Fork of the Rio Grande, in the broad, high-elevation valley that separates the San Juan Mountains to the west from the Sangre de Cristo range to the east. The Rio Grande's Gold Medal designation in the South Fork area reflects the river's exceptional clarity, cold temperatures, and aquatic productivity—conditions created by the high-elevation snowmelt and the spring-fed tributaries that maintain the water quality even during the warmer summer months. Fly fishing the Rio Grande in this reach requires skill; it rewards it with the trophy trout that have drawn anglers from across the country to this corner of southwestern Colorado. The Silver Thread Scenic Byway (Colorado Highway 149) begins in South Fork and climbs through one of the most spectacular mountain landscapes in the state—passing Thirty Mile Campground, the waterfalls of Slumgullion Pass, the historic mining towns of Creede and Lake City, and the Blue Mesa Reservoir before reaching Gunnison in a 117-mile journey through country that remains genuinely remote even in the height of the Colorado summer season. Wheeler Geologic Area, accessible by four-wheel-drive or a 14-mile round-trip hike from the byway, protects the volcanic tuff formations that create the most bizarre natural landscape in the San Juan Mountains. Silver Thread Basecamp operates May through October in the South Fork valley's high-altitude seasonal window, with the Rio Grande's peak fishing from late June through September when the water clears from spring runoff and the trout become visible and active in the rifle runs and deep pools below the basecamp. The fall aspen color on the surrounding San Juan slopes typically peaks in late September and early October in the gold and orange display that makes the drive up the Silver Thread Byway at that season one of the finest fall experiences in Colorado. Reserve your riverside site, covered wagon, or cabin at Silver Thread Basecamp and let the Gold Medal Rio Grande define your South Fork Colorado adventure.

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.

The Last Resort on the River

28 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites

The Last Resort on the River sits along the Blanco River on Highway 84 between Pagosa Springs and Chama, New Mexico—a small, quiet campground on a cold-running mountain river in the San Juan foothills of southwestern Colorado where the fishing is good, the setting is genuine, and the distance from the resort crowds of the main Pagosa Springs corridor is part of the appeal. The property has evolved from a simple riverside stopping point into a full-service camping destination with hookups, cabins, tent sites, and a collection of on-site recreation that keeps guests occupied through long summer days in the high country. The campground offers 23 full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer, plus six partial riverside sites with electric and water for smaller units positioned closest to the Blanco's current. Tent sites are situated directly on the river. A dry cabin and a fully stocked one-bedroom cabin are available for guests preferring enclosed accommodation. The bathhouse provides men's and women's showers and restrooms, with an on-site washer and dryer for laundry. A small general store carries ice, snacks, fishing tackle, and RV supplies. A former barn converted into a pavilion serves as the communal gathering space, two playgrounds provide children's recreation, and horseshoes, volleyball, and tether ball courts fill out the dry-land activity roster. Walking trails thread through the property, a dog park provides a fenced run area, and fishing is available in both the campground's stocked pond and the Blanco River itself. River tubing and beach access round out the water recreation. The Blanco River's valley cuts through the San Juan foothills in a landscape of piñon, juniper, and ponderosa pine that transitions into the higher spruce-fir forest of the San Juan National Forest as the elevation rises toward the Continental Divide. This stretch of Highway 84 between Pagosa Springs and Chama is one of the quieter and more scenic drives in the Four Corners region, traveling through ranching valleys and past the volcanic mesa formations that characterize the geology of this corner of Colorado and northern New Mexico. The Blanco runs cold and clear through the campground, fed by snowmelt from the San Juan peaks visible on clear days to the north. Pagosa Springs is about 20 miles north and is anchored by the geothermal hot springs at the center of town—the deepest known hot spring in the world feeds the pools at The Springs Resort and the town's other soaking facilities, providing the kind of hot-spring experience that the San Juan Mountain towns have offered travelers since the nineteenth century. Chimney Rock National Monument, a Chacoan outlier site where ancestral Puebloan structures perch on dramatic stone columns, is accessible as a day trip and represents one of the more visually striking archaeological sites in the American Southwest. Wolf Creek Ski Area, one of Colorado's snowiest mountains, rises above Pagosa Springs for winter visits. The Last Resort operates through the Colorado mountain camping season, with peak demand from Memorial Day through Labor Day and the high-altitude location delivering cool nights even at the peak of summer. The combination of riverside camping, hot spring proximity, and position on the scenic Pagosa-to-Chama corridor makes it a natural stop for travelers crossing the San Juan region who want something more than a highway pull-off and something less than a full resort experience.

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.

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.
