Riverside RV Park is on the outskirts of Salida, Colorado just off of US-50. The Arkansas River flows through the campground at a sedate flow. Our campsite (#8) was right next to and parallel to the river which provided some soothing sounds at night. It took a couple of tries to back our 20 foot travel trailer into the spot. The gravel site was level side to side but sloped slightly back to front. The bathrooms and showers are clean but a bit worn, and they are across the river bridge from the campsites and up some fairly steep steps. My wife is handicapped, so we had to drive around to the bathhouse.
The campground is next door to a Sonic Drive-In and across the highway from a Wal-mart. It is within a half hour drive to rafting, horseback riding, hot springs, trailheads to the outback and high mountains.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
Very convenient to trails. The kids play area needed attention. The restrooms were very clean. Helpful staff lead us to our spot and helped us park.
Campground is right on the Leadville 100 race course.
Perfect place to train for the race or relive past races.
Great place for dogs.
Some campsites and way better then others so look at map first.
Super helpful staff.
Mind when you need laundry, can get very backed up.
There's not much at the ARH marker itself, but continue on down the one-lane, mildly-rough road to a number of very nice campsites down in the valley. They are well marked with fire grids. These are considered dispersed campsites with no hookups or fees.
Really enjoyed staying at this park, site was incredibly long but a bit skinny but did the trick. You can hear the river running almost everywhere in the park
Met great folks there, staff was very nice too.
I ended up here on accident but loved my stay. Every staff member was so helpful and nice. Sites are close together and it is a bit pricy for an RV ($92 per night). This was my first time at a KOA, I enjoyed having all of the services right there. They fill propane tanls, air for tires, nice hot shower, laundry and a hot tub.
Very convenient off the highway, but then you get highway noise. Clean campground, very nice owner. We didn’t used the facilities so I can’t speak for that. Very fair price for FHU space with tree and picnic table ($43 after tax).
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.

We had a great time in Site #24, camping in a tent. This site is inadequate for an RV or even a camper, as the parking spot is just a widening in the road. But the site was very private and had beautiful views. I left a day early as a new neighbor came to the site across the road and was running his generator a lot….so I just decided to leave….
It was an awesome experience. Nice to have a private shower after being out on SXS all day. And nice cozy 2 bedroom cabin. Kitchen and small couch area. A campfire area too.
I want to say a bit about this campground. It’s the best we’ve stayed at in a long while. A new family just took over and this is their first summer. It has everything. Full hookups to tent camping. Full hookup sites are a bit tight but fine. It’s at over 8000 feet and the views are amazing. We can see snow. They have a nice camp store, WiFi that works, golf cart rental, a playground, kids games, a community area (even host occasional concerts) fishing, and a river running through. On site laundry and very clean bathhouse. It’s near a highway but we never found the road noise a problem. Didn’t even notice except an occasional truck using Jake brakes. It all but stopped at night.
Owners are super nice and helpful. And we even saw a moose. The stars are amazing here BTW.
The kids didn’t want to go anywhere they were happy just to hang out here at the campground.
Everything you’d expect from a KOA - clean, well cared for, activities, store on site. Great communication from property and great Wi-Fi signal
Had a great experience and such a good spot for many, many SXS trails. Bathrooms and showers just a short walk from the campsite were convenient and refreshing. Enjoyed the campfires and beautiful sunrises and sunsets on this spot. Would definitely recommend and come back!
The site was beautifully set up. Campfire rings with 2 rocking chairs. A table with 4 chairs instead of a picnic bench. Clean and extremely helpful staff.
Let's be clear - this is not camping. This is renting a driveway with access to power, water, sewer, internet, and cable. It is EXPENSIVE. It's also the only place near Breckenridge that offers all of these amenities.
The clubhouse offers a heated pool and hot tub, arcade, business center, locker rooms, laundry ($2 per wash / $1.75 to dry), and owners lounge. There are tennis/pickleball courts and a community fire pit in the center of the resort that hosted movie night during our stay.
No complaints about this place other than the fact that no one answered the phone at the office during our stay. The good news is that they email the gate code and wifi password ahead of time, so we were able to find our way to the site on our own.
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.
$28 for day use! Ridiculous! Just my son & I & 1 vehicle. We just wanted to visit the lake & hike. The hiking trail was lame for the price although the waterfall was lovely. Nice for fishing and camping, just not worth it for hiking for a few hours & nowhere on the website is the price for day use. Also, the 2 men in the office complained that they were shorthanded & didn’t provide a map, we found one outside on the wall. Never coming back. :(
I have camped at the campsites located just before the entrance to the Piney Lake Ranch. There’s about 8 Free campsites. Short walk to Ranch. Outside restrooms. Great restaurant at the Ranch.
Very nice place great fishing!! Leslie is hands down the best camp host! Statues in one of the yurts by the river and the accommodations were very comfortable and very peaceful!!
Your 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
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.
Very nice and helpful owners of this KOA. We are staying in their offseason and it is still so beautiful and facilities are amazing! Great WiFi and hookups with fire rings at every site! Very close to Central City and Blackhawk!
Needed a stop and electricity. Water and showers were an additional highlight. Although winds were blustery and COLD, we slept peacefully.
I love this lake. It's beautiful and you can always walk away with some fish.
Fall camping is the best! The aspens around this beautiful lake are really showing their color.
The campsites are very spacious and spaced well apart.
Flushing toilets and showers are around the campground. Water is available too.
We rented a room for my husbands birthday and parked our camper trailer in the front parking lot (25ft).
We rented a room with a large tub and it was far too pricy for what we got in return. Tub was filled with animal poo and old hair. We asked management to clean it from former guests and they were initially hesitant about it—saying maybe they would clean it ?!
Plumbers were there for multiple hours both days, parked directly in front of our room yelling back and forth which was very frustrating. Staff also didn’t seem to know which rooms were rented as they stood directly in front of our window to hold conversations. It was a huge bummer.
No dishes available unless requested from front desk. Bathroom worked well, WiFi worked well—no Verizon or ATT cell service. Good location. Broken “fireplace” and lamps.
Camping platform sites, car / van camping in front lot (but small area would not recommend anything over 25 feet.)
Truly far too expensive for the experience. Pretty bummed.
