Pioneer Park
Pioneer Park, near Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado, is a laid-back spot that offers a unique camping experience right by the river. With sites that allow for both tent and RV camping, it’s a great place to kick back and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
Visitors often rave about the clean facilities, including some surprisingly tidy porta-potties. The park is a hit for those looking to fish or float the river, and it’s just a short walk to the local hot springs, making it a convenient base for outdoor fun. One camper noted, “It’s a beautiful camping spot in God's country. Absolutely worth the visit.”
While the campground doesn’t have a ton of amenities, it does allow for campfires, which is always a plus for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. The surrounding scenery is stunning, with mountain views and plenty of trees providing shade and a sense of privacy.
If you’re lucky enough to visit during the Hot Sulphur Days celebration in June, you’ll be treated to an unforgettable fireworks display that campers have described as the best they’ve ever seen. Just keep in mind that the nearby train can be a bit noisy at night, but many find it adds to the charm of the location. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer stay, Pioneer Park has a friendly vibe that makes it a memorable spot to unwind.
