Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort features 90 spacious pull-through sites with full hookups, while Monarch Spur RV Park operates 43 sites from May through November with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service.

Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer and fall when tourism peaks. Cell service varies significantly throughout the Arkansas River valley, with stronger signals near larger towns like Salida and Canon City. According to one camper, "There is no cell service for AT&T or T-Mobile, but you are able to do wifi calling with their WiFi and we streamed a movie one night." Dump stations are available at several locations, including Mosca Campground and Riverside RV Park. Many parks welcome pets but enforce leash requirements. Propane refills can be found on-site at Royal Gorge RV Resort, while others require trips to nearby towns. Navigation to some parks involves mountain roads with elevation changes, so checking route accessibility for larger rigs is recommended before arrival.

    Ruby Mountain Campground — Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area

    Well maintained and close to BV

    My family stayed here last summer and we’re not disappointed. The lack of shade (upper spaces) and not a lot of choices for big-rigs are the only downsides here. Here are the positives:

    • Great access to the Arkansas River (fishing, put-in/ - take/out access)
    • Very well-maintained spaces and clean bathrooms
    • Minutes from rafting outfitters (we always go through Noah’s Ark. Great customer service and experienced guides)
    • Close to Buena Vista
    • Family friendly area with lots of access to public trails around Ruby Mountain

    Enjoy!

    Cripple Creek Hospitality House & RV Park

    Best rv park in Tellar County

    Have spent summer 2021 here.  A few blocks from all the casinos (they all run shuttles).

    Great staff, owners on site daily.  There is a food truck (Doc's) with GREAT food, permanently on site. Laundry on site, Shower & bathrooms.
    The Cripple Creek Burros (free range about town) are here often. NOTE: the burros like our hummingbird feeders!
    Open year round (limited rv sites open through winter)
    Hotel on property was once the Cripple Creek Hospital and is "period restored."

    I've spent seven summers in Colorado in my rv, Hospitality House and RV Park has been one of the best summers we've had.

    32' 5th wheel, 50 amp. Reasonable long term rate.

    Aspen Acres Campground

    Well maintained & staffed

    This was a delightful experience for us. There are sites for every type of camper: tent, trailer, RV, glamping and cabins. This is a somewhat small but well maintained private campground with lots of simple amenities. All is the wooded back-in sites have full hook-ups (30A) and there are pull-thru sites (Ithink they are still 30A). The center wooded area is perfect for tents. A small dog park gave our girls the chance to run free for a little. There is a shower house with bathrooms that are well maintained. Trash is kept tidy and didn’t smell even on the 97 degree day. Very easy to access but no road noise (at least not at our site).

    We have a 26’ trailer and stayed in site 18. It was near the end of the row and relatively quiet. We only wish we had a longer power cable. (Our next purchase!) Our port is at the back and the outlet was way up front. To reach, we had to set up near the front of the site which limited our parking. Just pointing that out for others who might be ill prepared too.

    We were too far away to take advantage of WiFi which is fine, we just wandered up near the office to check our texts once daily. It might be more accessible if you are located closer to the office. No cell service for Verizon. Personally, I was happy to be unplugged for a couple of days!

    Although we had a fire ban in effect, we were able to rent a propane fire pit from the office. Be super cautious and check fire restrictions for Custer County. (http://oem.custercountygov.com/firecon.htm)

    Aspen Acres has a lot more staff than I expected and they patrolled frequently. Very helpful and friendly.

    5 minutes from Bishops Castle and 10 minutes from Lake Isabel ($7 day use fee). Easy drive up from I-25 but fairly steep in spots if that is problematic.

    We will stay again!

    Salida RV Resort

    Very nice new RV park. Right on the Arkansas River, great mountain views.

    Very clean, large level spots with gravel and plenty of room in between RVs.  Great location, close to Salida and hiking & biking trails.  Directly on the Arkansas River -- river view spots are very nice and all spots have a view of the mountains, there's a bit of road noise from nearby highway.  Friendly staff, nice clubhouse with showers, pool table & fitness center, there's a small dog park and pickleball courts.  Direct access to Arkansas River for kayaks and small boats (walk down to river, can't drive there).  Campground internet was spotty but cell service is great so internet is very good if you have a hot spot.  Highly recommended, my only complaint is there's no pool or hot tub.

    Chalk Creek Campground & RV Park

    Very clean and well set up campground

    The owners and workers are very polite and helpful. The grounds are very clean and well kept. We stayed at the RV site in the lower campground right on the creek. Beautiful setting with fire pit, 30 amp hookup and picnic table. Very level ground. Firewood and modest amenities available at the office. Water is available to fill water reserve tank on RV and also a dump station on site. Beautiful mountain options on both sides. St Elmo, Mount Princeton, and Chalk Lake are a short drive with amazing views. Bath house is super clean - coin operated showers but lots of room, outlets near counter and sink area and clean bathroom stalls. Laundry facility is also located at the end of the bathhouse on the upper campground. Upper campground has very few trees. Lower campground is near creek and has beautiful trees to shade.
