Best RV Parks & Resorts near Alma, CO

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros: -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.

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.

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.

• 14 day/night stay max.
• $24 a night for tent or RV camping (there are way more hook-up sites over tent sites. Loop D is one of the two options for tent camping and I highly recommend any of the sites in that loop.)

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.

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.

This is a nice and quiet RV Camp with two levels, upper and lower. The Lower Level is our favorite with loads more trees.
