RV Camping near Salida, Colorado

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.

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.

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.

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.
