Sylvan Lake
This place was beautiful. The rough road was worth it. There were trails all around the grounds. The lake was beautiful and absolutely a fisherman’s paradise. There was no water available and the main water was turned off, but they had plenty of clean porta-potty’s. There were plenty of spots open and we were able to reserve our spot online after we picked it.

Excellent camping spot!
All the amenities you could ask for and right on the river! Very clean, very friendly staff. A camp store like I’ve never seen before- literally anything you can think of they have in stock from ice cream to full meals, fishing poles, sweat shirts you name it. Oh and as we pulled in we spotted not one but two bear cubs !!!

Quirky and convenient
What a fun, kitschy place—and a great stopover on our way home from Utah to Michigan. Think RV park built on terraces, with quirky collections and oddities everywhere you look. The guy who checked us in was fun and funny and added to the whole experience. We had plenty of room at Site 7, conveniently located near the bathrooms and office. The bathrooms had an old-cabin feel but were clean and interesting. We were dying for showers by this point in the trip and were especially grateful for plenty of hot water and great water pressure! A good experience at a unique, memorable, and convenient spot right off the highway.

Not Free!!!
Beautiful grounds and well maintained. Awesome spots but you have to pay for them… not cheap either. Check website for prices: www.glenwoodcanyonresort.com. There is a rest stop adjacent to the property but you cannot stay overnight.

Right on the Colorado River.
Beautiful KOA. Staff is friendly and facilities are clean. Campground was full but didn't feel crowded. Huge dog park and hiking trail along river.

Heron's Nest RV Park
Looks like long term camp spot.
Didn’t stay here but did investigate today. Attaching photos but this looks like a long-term camp park. The campers all have skirting/insulation around them and really didn’t see any spots that were open anyway. It might be ok for an overnight if you were fully self contained, could find an open spot, and just needed some sleep…

Super Quiet and Clean
This was my first camping trip alone with my rescue, Buck. We stayed in West Beckwith and it was the best experience ever. Watching a family of deer get the zoomies next to Marcelina was absolutely incredible.

Beautiful view
Just stayed at this camp ground and just loved the place. The gentleman who runs the office is super nice. The showers and bathroom are absolutely wonderful!
I was so glad to stay here because I’ve been told this place is closing sadly.
I commend the staff and owners for this place. Must be hard to let go of this!
Thanks for everything!
Guide to Glenwood Springs
Cabin accommodations near Glenwood Springs provide shelter options ranging from rustic structures to more developed units with heating.

What to do
Hiking access: Several campgrounds provide easy access to local trails. Sylvan Lake State Park features a trail that follows the lake shore, suitable for bikes too. A camper noted, "There's a trail that follows the lake shore around that is also bike friendly, there's also the West Brush Creek Trail which is in the park."
Biking opportunities: The Carbondale-Crystal River KOA places visitors directly beside regional bike paths. One camper shared their experience: "If you love to ride a bike this place is the best... The bike trail it right outside the camp ground and you can ride to Aspen or Glenwood."
Water activities: Many cabin locations offer water-based recreation. The Glenwood Canyon Resort provides direct river access. According to one visitor: "Falling asleep to the sound of the Colorado River literally 3 feet away is just wonderful, well worth the $54/night for a tent site."
What campers like

Convenience to attractions: Cabin locations provide strategic access to regional highlights. The Glenwood Springs West/Colorado River KOA offers a central location. A visitor explained: "We loved near here for years so we were happy with the location. The campground is only a couple years old and has super clean, wonderful amenities and is very organized."
What you should know
Site differences: Cabin placement varies significantly between properties. Hideout Cabins and Campground features creek-side options but construction may affect site quality. A visitor described: "Our site was one of four that was right on the creek running through the property."
Weather preparedness: Mountain elevations mean significant temperature variations. Sylvan Lake campers advise preparation at 8,500 feet. One noted: "At 8,500 ft the weather can change fast so be prepared especially with rain gear and warm close."
Off-season considerations: Seasonal operations affect cabin availability. Most cabin rentals open March through November, with limited winter options. Some campgrounds shift to skeleton operations during off-seasons.
Reservation timing: Popular cabin rentals book quickly. One Carbondale KOA visitor warned: "I tried to get in here in 2021 and they are booked for the year. Call early or you wont get in."
