Best Cabin Camping near Florence, CO

We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Gorge RV Resort. The new owners were in the process of updating the bathhouse which will look beautiful from what I could see! The sites were level and well-kept. The camp store was well stocked with firewood, camping supplies, a s’mores bar, cold drinks and lots of Colorado made items. The view from the hot tub was amazing! The fire pits on the patio were cozy and inviting. The location was perfect, close to the Royal Gorge bridge, rafting in the Arkansas River, hiking trails, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad and several great restaurants. The playground was very kid friendly and the giant jumping pillow was super fun! We are already planning our next visit!!

What a great looking KOA with a water park and tons of amenitites and activities! Unfortunately the outwards looks can be deceptive. Up close almost everything was broken and undermaintained. Wifi worked for a few hours our first day, never working again. The splash pad and pool were filthy with brown water collecting in low points and so many things floating in it and none NONE of the accessory interactive features like the water shooters or fun parts for little kids. The hot tub was closed. The jump pad had more than half of the tie down points disconnected, but was open for use most of the time. The bubbles platform was closed and none of the horshoe, cornhole, or other areas had their items out for use. Occasionally staff would come out and throw 2 liter bottles of soda pop at the kids, which was both unhealthy and kind of bizarre. They offered games and prizes inside their recration hall, which I think we can just call a Covid transfer room full of unvaccinated kids from hotspot states. 

The rv pad was actually rather nice with a good patch of weeds between campsites, table, and working water, power, and sewer hookups.

This was our first time in a KOA (I realize they run the gamut) but we were overall very happy.  We just stayed for one night on our way up to Estes Park, but I wanted a level sight with minimal setup hassle and full hookup.  We got that and more.

There are a LOT of amenities here.  We DID take advantage of the miniature golf course ($2 per round per person, goes to charity) but didn't have time for the disc golf and many other fun looking areas.  (Pool and hot tub are still closed due to COVID).  But the price is a little high if you consider they are probably charging you for availability and upkeep of the fun amenities.  It's totally fair to do so,  of course...but still, it's a little pricey.

On the other hand, we got our VERY level sight and great hookups.  The sites are VERY close together, some of the tightest we've ever seen.  Again, for one night, not a big deal.  Might have been a bit claustrophobic if we'd stayed longer.  

I would unhesitatingly come here again if the need arose.  Overall, very nice location.  (Oh, and all the folks we interacted with were very friendly.)

We love this CG!  It is in a beautiful part of Colorado, centrally located to many attractions.  The CG itself is large, but spread out well.  All sites are paved and fairly level, all have electricity and there are even a few cabins for rental.  What makes this park great is the huge trail system, trails are all around and all at various levels of difficulties and lengths.  Wildlife is abundant and the sites themself are well maintained.  Each site has a fire ring, electrical hook up and picnic table.  Water spigots are nearby, RV dump is included with stay (and you can fill up with fresh water too).  They have a laundromat and shower house as well as several bathrooms located throughout the campground with flush toilets.  They have nightly educational programs and the rangers have always been polite to us.  Firewood is available for sale at the CG entrance.
