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.

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.

Route 66 RV Park

3 Tent Sites

Route 66 RV Park sits at Exit 187 of Interstate 40 in Edgewood, New Mexico, on the historic alignment of Route 66 in the East Mountains east of Albuquerque—one of the most geographically strategic campground positions in New Mexico, with Albuquerque 30 minutes to the west and Santa Fe 45 minutes to the north and panoramic views of the Sandia Crest and the Santa Fe Mountains visible from the park on clear days. The location gives travelers on the I-40 corridor access to both New Mexico cities in the same base camp without driving into the congestion of either metropolitan center. Sites accommodate 30 and 50-amp full hookup rigs with pull-throughs up to 100 feet, and the park also offers tent sites for non-RV campers. Amenities include two dog parks, WiFi, laundry, showers, a dump station, propane, and an on-site barn. An on-site food truck (seasonal) reduces the need to drive for a meal. Gold panning and gem mining activities are available for guests who want an activity that doesn't require leaving the property, and a jumping pillow provides children's entertainment. The campground's Barn can be used for gatherings, and the whole property is pet-friendly. Edgewood occupies a plateau in the East Mountains at roughly 6,800 feet elevation, in the Turquoise Trail corridor that connects Albuquerque to Santa Fe along the historic state road that predates I-25 as the primary link between New Mexico's two largest cities. The Sandia Mountains rise immediately to the west, their granite and limestone backbone reaching 10,678 feet at Sandia Crest—visible from the park's sites as an unobstructed western backdrop that turns pink in the alpenglow that gave the range its Spanish name. The Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway passes through Tijeras Canyon below the park and continues north through the old mining towns of Madrid and Cerrillos. Albuquerque's full visitor infrastructure is 30 minutes west: Sandia Peak Tramway—the world's longest aerial tram—climbs from the base of the mountains to the summit of Sandia Crest in a ride that covers over 10,000 feet of horizontal distance and delivers views across the Rio Grande valley that extend to Mount Taylor on clear days. Old Town Albuquerque, the Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, the ABQ BioPark Zoo, and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History provide the city's primary visitor destinations. Santa Fe, 45 minutes north, anchors New Mexico's arts and cultural tourism economy with the Palace of the Governors, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Canyon Road gallery district, and the Santa Fe Plaza. Route 66 RV Park operates year-round in the East Mountains' high-desert climate, where the 6,800-foot elevation delivers cooler summer temperatures than the Rio Grande valley below—a consistent 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Albuquerque on summer afternoons—and winter snowfall that makes the park a viable base for ski trips to Sandia Peak Ski Area. The equidistant position between Albuquerque and Santa Fe is the park's defining advantage for travelers who want to cover both cities without commuting from within either one.

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.

American RV Resort

80 RV Sites

American RV Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico, offers 80 full-hookup RV sites 1.5 miles from the city limits, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. A dedicated Big Rig pull-through category joins deluxe premium, deluxe, premium, and standard tiers, with a pool, hot tub, spa, and recreation center. Eighty sites span standard back-in, standard pull-thru, premium pull-thru, deluxe pull-thru, deluxe premium pull-thru, and Big Rig pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 70 feet. The dedicated Big Rig category removes the guesswork for a long coach. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Rates are subject to federal and local taxes. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, playground, dog park, horseshoes, and cabins filling the grounds. A southwestern theme runs through the design. Pets are welcome. Visit Albuquerque has recognized this as the top-rated RV park in the metro area, and the position backs that up. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, the Rio Grande Zoo, the aquarium and botanical park, and the Sandia Peak Tramway are all close, with Old Town and the Rio Grande corridor beyond. The Balloon Fiesta in early October fills every site in the metro months ahead — reserve as early as you can for that week. Spring and fall are otherwise the most comfortable seasons.

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.

Junction West Vallecito Resort

Junction West Vallecito Resort in Bayfield, Colorado, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations in the mountain country of La Plata County near Durango, with an outdoor pool, game room, library, and lake on the property. One practical detail to plan around: there is no cell service in the park, though WiFi calling is available — check with your provider before arrival to have it enabled. Full-hookup RV sites serve guests with rigs, and cabins provide enclosed lodging for those without. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. The lack of cell coverage is worth taking seriously if you need to stay reachable — enable WiFi calling before you arrive rather than after. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a game room, library, and pavilion for other hours. A playground serves families, and a lake on the property supports fishing, with horseshoes and basketball on the grounds. Pets are welcome. Bayfield sits at cool elevation in the forested upper Piedra River drainage, near Vallecito Reservoir and the San Juan National Forest. That puts the full southwestern Colorado recreation corridor within reach — Mesa Verde National Park, the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, and the Weminuche Wilderness Area's high alpine trail network. The San Juan Mountains deliver the most visually spectacular concentration of high-country scenery in the Rocky Mountain West, and the conifer forest and mountain air here are the reason guests choose this over a Durango-adjacent park. Summer is the season at this elevation. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

Durango RV Resort

96 RV Sites, 27 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 House

Durango RV Resort in Colorado offers 96 RV sites, 28 cabin and house units, and 11 tent sites five miles from downtown, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, EV charging, and rigs accepted to 85 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Elite and premium pull-through categories join partial-hookup back-in and pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, and mini-golf. Ninety-six sites span standard back-in, standard pull-thru, premium pull-thru, elite back-in, elite pull-thru, partial hookup back-in, and partial hookup pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and BBQ pits. Read the category carefully — the partial hookup tiers do not carry the full set, and they price accordingly. Eighty-five feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. EV charging on site is still uncommon at RV resorts. Twenty-eight cabins and houses and 11 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and recycling handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with mini-golf, a clubhouse, billiards, pickleball, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, and skiing are all close. Mesa Verde, the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Purgatory, and the San Juans are within reach. Summer and fall color drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.

HTR Durango Campground

51 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages, 2 Lodges

HTR Durango Campground in Colorado offers 51 RV sites, 14 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, and 10 tent sites on the western approach to Durango, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Canyonside and creekside categories at both amperages join pull-in and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, on-site dining, and live music. Fifty-one sites span back-in water-and-electric, canyonside back-in 30-amp, canyonside back-in 50-amp, canyonside pull-in 30-amp, and creekside back-in 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with picnic tables, sized to 45 feet. Naming categories canyonside and creekside tells you exactly what you are booking; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric option does not carry sewer at the site. Fourteen cabins, cottages, and lodges and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Office hours run 10am to 6pm, and the dry camping season runs May 1-14 and October 10-31 — worth checking if you are traveling in the shoulders. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a pond and creek supporting fishing, and basketball, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Hiking, biking, swimming, live music, and strong birding round it out. Canyon walls of Douglas fir and ponderosa surround the property, with downtown Durango and the San Juans close. Summer and fall color drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
