Riverwood Resort on the Gunnison

28 RV Sites, 14 Motel Rooms, 1 Apartment

Riverwood Resort on the Gunnison in Delta, CO, offers 28 full-hookup RV sites plus 15 apartment and motel rooms, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 75 feet. Sites come in four categories — standard back-in, premium back-in, riverfront back-in, and pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table. The riverfront back-ins are the ones worth requesting. At 75 feet the property takes long coaches, and the attached inn means travelers can mix an RV stay with a room for family arriving separately. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and walking trails are on the grounds. Both the campground and the inn are pet friendly. Fishing on the Gunnison is the draw, with river frontage and a lake on the property. Delta sits where the North Fork Valley's orchards and farmland meet the broader canyon country of western Colorado, on the Gunnison River between Grand Junction and Montrose. Rates for RV sites, apartments, and motel rooms are on the booking page. Riverfront sites are limited and go first during summer fishing season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Glenwood Canyon Resort

49 RV Sites, 25 Cabins, 1 Tent Site, 1 Condo

Glenwood Canyon Resort in Glenwood Springs, CO, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites, 24 cabin and condo rentals, and 1 tent site, with 30 and 50-amp service.

Sites carry water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The resort is rated big rig friendly, but the published length bands and the export's maximum don't agree, so confirm your rig's fit with the resort before booking. Open all year, though some amenities scale back off-season. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and a dump station cover the rest. Fireworks are not permitted. Pets are welcome. A boat ramp and river frontage put guests on the Colorado directly, with biking, picnicking, birding, and boating from the property. The resort also hosts weddings.

Rifle Mountain Park

Rifle Mountain Park north of Rifle, Colorado, offers dry camping sites in a limestone canyon, with fire pits, picnic tables, walking trails, and restrooms. One essential detail before you go: this is a dry camping facility with no potable water, no sewer service, and no electrical hookups. Back-in dry camping sites carry fire pits and picnic tables. There are no hookups of any kind and no potable water on site, so arrive fully self-contained with all the water you will need. Restrooms and firewood are available, along with cabins. This is a city-owned outdoor recreation area rather than a commercial campground, and the facilities are scaled accordingly. Pets are welcome. Walking trails run the canyon, with hiking, picnicking, birding, and stargazing from the site. A creek runs through the park. The climbing is what makes this internationally known. Rifle Mountain Park sits at the base of towering limestone cliffs in Rifle Creek Canyon, where more than 250 bolted sport routes across every difficulty grade have been developed over decades. It is one of the most prolific sport climbing destinations in North America and a genuine pilgrimage site for climbers worldwide — the canyon's steep, pocketed limestone is unlike anything else in the country. For campers who are not climbing, the canyon's hiking, creek fishing, and dramatic walls are reason enough. Climbing season runs spring through fall, with the canyon's shade making it viable in summer heat. Reserve ahead for weekends, and plan your water carefully.

River Dance RV Resort

39 RV Sites

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