Mount Princeton Campground is located in beautiful Chalk Creek Canyon in central Colorado. This popular facility is within 4 miles of a private hot springs resort, making it an ideal location for rest and relaxation.

The campground is situated at an elevation of 8,600 feet in Chalk Creek Canyon, which gets its name from the soft, white, chalk-like kaolinite canyon walls. Kaolinite is a clay mineral that was deposited by percolating hot springs. A stand of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir offers partial shade in the campground. Chalk Creek can be accessed from the campground. It flows 27 miles eastward from the Collegiate Peaks before joining the Arkansas River. Chalk Lake is about a__mile west of the campground.

This place never fails. Always beautiful, great sunrises and sunsets. There's bathrooms and RV hook ups. Always a nice place. However it's pretty exposed so not alot of cover from wind. Always great to walk aroethe lake. Paddle boarding is a must if you own one. I'm not sure about any showers, i doubt it. Yes to designated camp fire rings. Like always pack in snd pack out.
Guide
We weren't planning on staying in Fairplay, but it was getting late so we tried Middlefork RV Park. The sites are all gravel, ours was nice and level. You can get either full hookups or water/electric only. There is a dump station on site. You can pan for gold or trout fish right at the campground. I didn't check out the shower house, it's at the far end of the campground.
Traveler
One of the nicest RV resorts we’ve found. Sites are spacious, very well maintained, and the grounds are beautiful. Breckinridge has a lot to offer, as does surrounding area. Late September colors, especially Aspen trees, are awesome. We’ll be back.
Guide
We stopped in after an afternoon of driving. The sites were level and very clean, hookups were easy (nice threaded, tidy black/grey water) , lots of Aspen trees between the sites, but still a bit close together. It was a very quiet Monday evening towards the end of the season when we were there, so the spacing was okay. I can see that the sites would be very close together if the property was full.
It is really nice that they keep the long term sites on the other side of the building. The highway noise wasn’t bad.
Our nine year old really liked the playground area.
The bathrooms were very clean and recently remodeled, but require coins if you were going to shower.
ScoutThis RV resort is a fantastic location & open year-round. The park is clean and has lots of shade. The price is a little steep but you get lots of amenities. There is an indoor pool, two spas & men’s and women’s shower and dressing rooms. The only negative besides the price on this campground is the garbage is centrally located at the clubhouse which can be far from many campsites. The staff is very friendly and helpful. 
GuidePretty much your average RV Park, though the bathrooms and showers were exceptional. Finding the place is a bit of a challenge though. You have to turn into a shopping Center parking lot, and go down a small dirt road on the west side of the lot. Kind of a weird setup but I guess because of the topography they had no choice. Front office dude was not really very friendly or welcoming. Some weird guy kept wandering around out in the field behind the RV spaces talking to himself.
Ranger
This review will be short and sweet. This is an okay place for a quick night stopover. I wouldn’t go beyond this and it’s certainly not for tents.
This is your true stereotypical mobile home park. Nothing at all wrong with that but really not much of a campground at all, more a permanent resident locale.
Again- nothing screamingly horrible here. Just mostly mobile home park and long term residents in trailers.
Guide
The sites were a bit small but full hook ups with a lodge and general store on-site. Only about 5 minute drive the lake and Leadville.
Guide
Another great Colorado State Park, it sits above Eleven Mile Reservoir. The sites offer everything from tent sites to full hook up. There is limited shade, but most sites are exposed.
Theres beautiful hikes around the lake and the fishing is awesome between the reservoir and Spinny Lake, and 11 Mile Canyon below the dam.
Scout
We enjoyed our stay here very much! Jeff has the place in fantastic shape and is very accommodating. There are very nice full hook-up sites as well as beautiful tent sites here. Bathroom and showers are spotless, too. And, rates are very reasonable!
We are Colorado folks and know where to find great campgrounds. We always enjoy Arkansas Rim and highly recommend it!
Traveler
Yes Mountain High!! 8100’ high. 7 miles off I-70 at Idaho Springs. 25 miles into outskirts of Denver. Don’t worry they have oxygen! Not kidding!!
Nice campground, friend staff, laundry, fun little gift shop with some food stuffs, beer and liquor. Pizza cooked there but we didn’t try it.
Our space was a big rig space on concrete pad with ample seating, a table, a fire pit, and a propane grill stove… use you own propane! Full hook ups. It was still reaching freezing at night and so we didn’t hook up our water.
TravelerYour up at 8890’ at this KOA. Wind your way up a nice but steep four lane road to this campground! We stayed in a big rig stop. Concrete slab, full hook ups. Was below freezing at night so we didn’t leave the water connected at night but the days were a pleasant 60-65 but the wind did come up several days and it was chilly. Very nice new composite patio furniture and fire pit and gas grill to use! The areas in between spaces have large enough rocks to cause some tripping issues while hooking up. Watch your step.
Nice bathrooms two large hot tubs and 6 washing machines and dryers @ $2 a load for each.
Nice staff and gift shop with beer and liquor and most needs. They had just opened for the season and have pizza available but we didn’t try it!
If you like to gamble there are a plethora of casino s just a few miles down the valley in Central City.
West side Denver approx 25 miles on I-70
Guide
We got there the Sunday before Labor Day and stayed all week. People were leaving so the park was fairly quiet. Full hook ups were nice to have. The temps were getting below freezing at night. Nice change from the Texas heat. The morning we left it was 23 degrees so protect your water lines. Great place to stay and ride out of park. Camp host were very friendly and we look forward to going back next year.
Legend
This is a BLM dispersed camping site north of Salida on the road to Hecla Junction Recreation Area. The river access is about 5 miles away down a steep dirt and gravel road. The BLM site is very basic with no facilities. The campsites are not marked but easy to identify by the campfire rocks and road patterns. You can’t beat the price if you are looking for free camping near world class river rafting. Like all dispersed camp sites you get a diverse mix of users from long term residents to temporary van and tent campers. The site is located immediately off the access road to the river and provides some tree cover for the sun and wind. It can be a rather windy and dusty spot. So you will need to have a good tent or other cover in the summer or during wind events. The site is patrolled by BLM and other park officials. They have some great hikes here and nice scenery. However, the highlight here is the proximity to the Arkansas River and river rafting. The the Hecla Campground is full this could serve as a good plan B for free. You will need your own toilet, food, and water. You will also need to pack out your trash as they do not have any trash removal. If you are used to dispersed camping, this will be straightforward.
Traveler
Nice campground for tents and small camper trailers (under 30”). Sights off the river are on a steep grade, which will require a lot of rise in trailer jacks-bring our blocks. Most sights have space for a trailer and tent. The camp group does not have water and spotty Mobile phone service for those who care. Nice relaxing place to visit.
Traveler
Camped here for the first time we ever took the RV out. Visited in mid/end of September. It got cold at night and we were thankful to have brought an extra space heater. Views were nice. There was little vegetation in the area which made high winds even stronger. There wasn't a fire ban at the time but a campfire was impractical due to the winds.
RV spots were about average distance from neighbors. Spots were big enough and easy enough to park a travel trailer in. Spots didn't have water hookups, which is normally one of the big reasons for going to an RV site and dealing with neighbors. Using the dump station was easy in the off-season, staff let you schedule a dump time days ahead of time.
The campground was definitely intended for use by visitors on fishing trips at the nearby lake. Multiple individuals parked boats within their RV spots.
TravelerPros: -lots of level, well maintained sites -huge lake, great for fishing or boating -electrical hookups for RV camping Cons: -minimal shade and sites are close together -bathroom/shower are at the entrance (a considerable distance from most sites) -not a ton of great hiking areas. Bottom line if you’re an RV camper and an angler definitely a decent spot. If you’re a tent camper and hiker check elsewhere.
GuideGreat small, year round rv park with cabins and tent area! Stayed there in 2019 and will be returning this year!

Dillon is a beautiful town. The campground was clean with vault toilets and electric hook ups. There's separate areas for tents and RV camping. Nice spot to be close to the Dillon Amphitheater.
Guide
I think this may be the same campground as Salida North??? Our stay was 6/16/24. small sites with firepit and table available no water or toilet. A handful of sites could accommodate our 23' camper trailer. Quiet place. Though by morning most sites were taken. Many "car" campers pulled in for overtime stay... Google took us too far up canyon . Turn off hwy 285 go over bridge and take dirt road to right.
Ranger
Nice setting. Very Narrow roads. There are no showers and only pit toilets. Only two, somewhat inconvenient and narrow spots to fill us RV water tanks.
No cell service (AT&T or Verizon)
Traveler
Great campground, close to Denver and Golden Gate Canyon. It is right next to a fairly busy highway, so it can get loud with traffic and motorcycles. But, the campsites were clean and nice in the bathrooms were spotless. There's even a small overlook trail in the campground. No hookups for RVs or trailers. But that is fine with us! Camp hosts were super nice.
RangerLooking for a Summit County RV park, there is no better. We stayed in March for some spring skiing. Not only was it one of few if not the only park open during the winter months but is located right in between Breckenridge, Keystone and A Basin. Vail is even less than an hour. We enjoyed our time so much we returned in April. Clean, friendly park with nice bathrooms and lots of family friendly amenities.
Guide
Not all sites have that awesome lake view. But the Mountain View’s are spectacular. This is a large campground with 107 sites. When you book you can see that just a few sites in the 50’s have that lake view. There is an RV water full at the entrance. A trail to the lake. Windy point trail is not far and an easy walk from our campsite.
Guide
Bring your fishing pole, SUP, kayak, or hammock to hang out by the lake. This is my favorite campground in Colorado for the accessibility to the lake and town nearby.
Guide
We stayed here 5 nights Sun-Fri while doing work/school and enjoyed exploring Buena Vista in the evenings! Overall the park was enjoyable, it had everything you needed to be comfortable, but not much else. We were in their standard sites, which are pretty close to your neighbor... typical of RV park. They did have premium sites which were more spacious. Gravel and dirt everywhere. The sites were mostly level, though there was clearly a grade from the first site to the last, and there was a bit of grade front to back on our site.
Staff was very friendly and kept the place very clean. Bathrooms were well kept. The showers were pay showers but we never used them. Laundry facilities were VERY nice and our clothes came out clean and smelling good.
Very cool places to explore just around the corner from here... Arkansas river has some neat spots... Midland Tunnels were a neat area right behind the park, but about a 10 minute drive since it was on the other side of the river. Also great trails near downtown.
Traveler
This is a nice and quiet RV Camp with two levels, upper and lower. The Lower Level is our favorite with loads more trees.
Alma, Colorado, offers a fantastic selection of RV camping options, perfect for those looking to explore the stunning Rocky Mountains while enjoying modern amenities.
