Very nice park recently acquired by Thousand Trails. stayed here for 2 weeks with my thousand trails membership. They have 30-amp and 50-amp full hook-up sites. they also have an area that provides very rustic camping by a creek. those are water and electric-only sites. nice putt putt golf and playground area.
cell service with Verizon and T-Mobile is non-existent. Park has wifi but it is very slow and not reliable. Hot spot at main building works well.
This is also a fishing pond for kids under 12. They can keep 2 fish.
They have an indoor pool and hot tub as well as an outside pool and hot tub in the upper camping area.
Guide
The best thing about this park was the location. It is located close to Ouray and many activities in the area. The park also offers beautiful scenery and it is a wonderful Basecamp for exploring the area. There is a state park nearby with a beautiful lake and kayaking. There are hiking trails nearby and many wonderful off road four wheel trails.
The park can accommodate big rigs and we were able to get our 38 foot 5’er into the parking and into a spot, but I would not call the park big rig friendly due to tight turns and small sites.
Amenities include a nice camp store, laundry facilities, restaurant with a nice outdoor deck, on property horseback riding, on property jeep rental, hiking trails. There were bathrooms and showers at the back of the property but it was too far to walk from the front of the property so we never used them. The laundry facilities are a little small for this sized park and we weren’t able to do laundry because it was too busy.
One big problem was electrical outages during 100° weather. The electrical system in the park just cannot keep up. Luckily we had solar and were able to maintain AC until evening hours.
There is one small hot tub that was usually very busy we didn’t use that either.
There are nice tent camping spots.
Most of the people in the park Had four wheelers or motorcycles for off-road trails. The off-road trails in this area are amazing and shouldn’t be missed. We took a tour from Ouray and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We took a horseback ride from the park and had a lovely time. The horses were very safe and great for a family experience. They also offer 15 minute rides for children.
We would stay again if we were in the area.

This is the most beautiful RV Camp in Colorado. We come every year.

This is an old forest service cabin. The cabin itself is ok. However, they advertise that there is non-potable water and two bathrooms inside. Without water, the bathrooms don't work and the porta potty outside is truly the world's most disgusting. All this for $120 per night.
Ranger
Within minutes from Hartman’s Rocks and one of the only KOAs that has so much grass. We rented a cabin, no refrigerator or AC, and it was perfect for a fall trip. The colors of the Aspen made the entire area golden. Cabins are slightly close together. Would definitely tent camp and enjoy the grass and fire pits next visit.
GuideThe spots are spread out enough that you have privacy, there’s attendants around 24 hours of the day to help, and it’s hands down the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. We rented a cabin (we stopped in on July 4th, sold out of tent spots) but they managed to accommodate us last minute. The staff is incredibly nice, and the price was right. Our cabin is the 2nd biggest option, it included: a queen, bunk beds, love seat, fridge, sink, and a microwave.
Traveler
Nestled in a valley with beautiful view next to Uncompahgre River with wonderful walking path. Gravel parking right off hwy 550. Laundry, showers, restaurant. Primitive cabins and fully equipped cabins. Very friendly staff. Pet friendly. Close to uptown shopping and eating & grocery store. Pull thru and back in sites. Overflow parking for extra vehicles for a charge. Down side-you have to trailer to trailheads for SXS riding. Most tail heads are small parking areas but the riding in the mountains is priceless. Been here twice, same site and would go again.

We stayed here 2013-2021 every year. Not sure about the complaint of being tight in another review as this was not our experience. We have stayed in various sites over the years in a super C (semi truck) that has very little turning radius and was able to navigate into the spots easily. We were able to put out our slides with a wooden picnic table available between the sites with a good 4-5 ft on each side of the table. We are 41 feet in length and pull a 30ft trailer. Our height is 13.6ft. The owners were gracious to let us unhook and park our trailer nearby. They have showers and toilets as well as cabins and hotel rooms. They do offer jeep rentals but as of 2022 the town does not allow ohv’s in town. They have 50amp, water, trash, and sewer. The train is an awesome bonus as it drives by everyday in the peak season. We chose in 2022 to stay elsewhere do to the towns views on ohv’s.
GuideLove the campground but they do not do a monthly stay! Stayed a few days in camp sites and cabins!
Traveler
Folks were friendly but cabin was dated. AC didn’t work. Also a bit of a rough crowd coming in and out of the permanent area. People driving way too fast through campground.

Ashley here with The Dyrt! I'm happy to welcome Emily, your host, to our platform. This property offers 9 cabins of varying sizes, 22 full RV hook-ups and primitive tent sites. Close to State Parks. Book today and leave your review here!
Guide
We had a great stay in a cabin for our little family and a tent for our other family party. Near each other and close to the bathrooms and playground. Kids loved the playground and jump pad! Close by to Ouray for great SXS and off-road trails. Must tow there with trailer. Beautiful scenery.
Guide
This is our first visit to Lake City so I've nothing to compare it to, but I loved this RVPark. Linda was gracious and accommodating. Bathrooms were spotless AND warm. We are at tail end of season so the park was not full at all, but even if it had been there are tables and trees between each site keeping from feeling claustrophobic. We drove past the other RV Park in town - on Henson Creek - you are on the river, but also on the highway and it was packed in. Elk Horn is off the highway nestled against the mountain, and just 4 block walk to "down town" Lake City. Highly recommend this spot. Call to make reservations. Linda gets right back to you. We also stayed on one of the cabins to give kids more trailer room. You provide the top bedding, but there was a queen bed and a bunk (so 4 could sleep easy). No bathrooms in the cabin but your close to the bathrooms.
GuideThe park is beautiful, covered in trees, almost all sites are shaded. We have 103 RV Sites, 5 cabins and 6 tent sites. Facilities include a clubhouse/office, pavillion, laundry facilities and a great bathroom/shower facility. Located just 2 miles north of downtown Gunnison, just before the Gunnison River.
We also have the best internet in the area!!

The campsites are level and easy to get to. Most face the two stocked lakes. Near lake city and all the fun activities that the area has to offer. Wildlife, trails, and 4 wheeling. Fishing on site or go ask Dan at his fly shop for nearby streams and lake. Bathrooms and laundry were clean. There are cabins but did not see inside.
Guide
Pros: Great location for use. Central to the sites we were interested in. Easy access and parking. Owners very helpful and accommodating of our needs. Owners live on property. The cabin we got for our Dgt was small but clean.
Cons: Road and sites need some work. Our site was not level. Weak WiFi provided. No cell service in park.
Will return to this park.

This is our second time staying here! We met the new owners today upon checking out and they were incredibly kind and you could tell how much passion they have for all the upgrades they are doing to the property. We rent a tiny cabin when we come and it’s always clean and has everything we need. I love seeing the stars at night and being able to bring our dog. Will be back next year again!
Guide
Not wilderness camping by any means, but a fun stop for a road trip for sure! Big B’s has a full restaurant (the chili cheese fries were amazing), lots of cider varieties on tap and to go. Live music some nights.
You can tent camp amidst the apple trees (literally in the rows nestled under the trees), park your rig in a grassy field with picnic tables and fire pits, or even stay in a cabin. Shower house with flush toilets near the shop. The store sells firewood.
We had fun!
GuideWe stayed in a camper van over a busy holiday and loved it! We were hoping for a peaceful getaway for us and our dog and found it at Kebler. Yes, some of the spaces are close together but everyone there made it work well. The angled spots and strategic landscaping help too. Plenty of grassy common areas to stretch your legs and your pup’s (on leash), so much so we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything by not being parked with the big coaches along the river. Even better since the large river spots had little/no natural shade (most seemed to have their own awnings that our van didn’t so no worries there I think for them). The tent spots were in a different area on the other side of the property a little away from the busier parts. They also had less shade but had level pads and but seemed closer to the bridge (and hiking). The community vibe was respectful and friendly and it was lovely to stroll about and enjoy it all. Families were out and about, playing with their children and trying different things to do. There was a little playground and some activities in a covered space like velcro axe throwing and corn hole. There were soccer goals set up at one of the grassy areas too. There was also a frisbee golf course, hammocks and picnic tables scattered around the property. A sign by the bathrooms invited camp guests to go gentle group hike if you meet at the bridge at the posted time in the morning. The general store was open during the day and had more than I expected (came for stickers and snacks, left with a game of Bananagrams and more). There wasn’t cell service but wifi worked well for what we needed. The bathrooms were clean and the water was warm. On a busy weekend you might need to use the portable toilets near the tent sites if the regular ones are occupied at a busy time. In the future, splitting the shower and toilet facilities might help with that long term, but I am not sure how hard (and expensive) that is to do in places that are tucked away into the mountains like this. We did use the coin laundry and that worked well. At the time of our visit it was $2 for the washer and $3.50 for the dryer. There was a variety of cute cabins for rent with a good range in size and cost - and some have own their bathroom and even little patio spaces. The hosts and staff were friendly and helpful, even doing trash pickup in the morning if you left it out at a certain time by your site. Kebler is in a beautiful setting, has thoughtfully-designed spaces and is carefully maintained. We would definitely come back - hopefully in a camper van / travel trailer or even just to stay in one of the cabins.

My girlfriend and I took a trip to Utah in January and found ourselves in a snowy Montrose en route to Moab. We booked a spot here and were greeted kindly by the owners and residential campers who help oversee the campgrounds. There is availability for all kinds of campers from Pop-ups, to RVs, to tent, and cabins and sits next to a lovely stream. The facilities were great as well! You can tell that there was a lot of heart and intention put into this space. Will definitely be stopping in again when passing through the area.

My friend and I stopped here on our way to Telluride. We stayed in The Loft above the lodge (so we did not camp), and we just loved it. It was so quiet and comfortable with the two beds, living area, kitchen, and bathroom.
The views of Blue Mesa reservoir were stunning. The park is tiered, so each site has a wonderful view. There are also three cabins available (they have all been beautifully remodeled), as well as a bathhouse. We had a boat ride (there is fishing available), and I heard there is ice fishing and snowmobiling available in the winter. I highly recommend this park!
TravelerWe were only here for one night but would definitely stay here again!
They have a large facility with RV sites, look liked some small cabins to rent, restaurant, laundry mat and probably some other things we didn’t get a chance to see. Also had propane fill-up on site. It is conveniently located along the river north of town. The river has a walking trail which leads to the hot springs and town.
The hosts were super nice and easy to communicate with. They text you all the information after you make your reservation which was super helpful. The location is super clean and well maintained.
GuideWow is all I can say! After surviving towing the airstream up Red Mountain pass, we pulled into the KOA and couldn’t be more happy. Our site backed up to a stream that sounded wonderful with running water. Each site has a picnic table and a combo fire ring/grill. They even welcome you with three large fire logs! They now offer horseback riding right from inside the KOA. They have everything from teepees to tent, cabin and RV camping. A great restaurant on site with a well stocked store and laundry facilities. This place is really well run. The only complaint is the WiFi, which is non existent, however, they are currently working on that and should have campwide WiFi by summer.
TravelerBook it Now! This RV park will fill up quickly. Riverbend is a beautiful park in a fantastic location. What sets this park apart from others is the owners and camp hosts. The park's owners are exceptional; everything they do is done for the benefit of their guests.
A few examples include oversized RV sites, WiFi, and they even love dogs because they have an off-lease dog park. The camp hosts here are fantastic;
Rob and Becky and Kirby and Robin are two couples that truely went above and beyond. They are simply the best!
We had such a great time we invited several of our friends to come down and rent a cabin, which they all did, and we had an absolute blast! The most amazing trip ever!
TravelerGreat location with full hookups for RVs. The description mentions back-in sites only, and while our electric hookup was conveniently on the same side, we had to run our water and sewage lines underneath the RV since those hookups were on the opposite side—this seems to be the case for all sites. The campground is perfectly situated at the intersection of the Gunnison, Taylor, and East Rivers, making it ideal for fly fishing. They offer cabins, RV sites, and long-term housing options. There's a small store with basic items, beer, and merchandise, plus a fly shop in the same building. There's also a restaurant, though it was closed during our stay, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Overall, a great stay!

I have stayed at this campground several times while in Silverton Colorado. This campground is located on the edge of Silverton, about 1 mile from the downtown business district. The campground is fairly quiet and has all the amenities you need. The main office also has a small store with grocery items, camping supplies, and the laundry area. The staff has always been friendly to us, and are knowledgeable about the local area and businesses. This campground features tent sites, RV sites, and Cabins. This campground house clean bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers located in 2 areas around the campground. This campground do you have quick access to the ATV/Jeep Trails, Hiking trails, Historic sites, and businesses in the area. Animas Creek flows through the edge of the campground, near the tent sites. The campground also has an overflow parking area for people pull in large trailers. We have also used the overflow camping area with no hook ups, when the campground is full. The beautiful mountain scenery surrounding the campground is also awesome! I have always enjoyed my stays At the Silverton Lakes Campground six weeks, and will continue to stay there when I am in the area.
GuideThis was a very well kept campground. They were always watering grass, which the kiddos loved the sprinklers. We stayed in the smallest cabin they had, but it had AC, bathroom with shower, and small kitchen. Owners were very nice. There are a lot of mobile homes here that people seem to have purchased, but it wasn’t overly crowded with them or additional campers. RV spaces were semi-close together, but you didn’t hear your neighbors very much. Recommend getting a spot on the East side so you could have an actual lake view since it is technically across the highway from the lake. Speed limit was a strict 5 mph and they enforced it! Playground was a little older, but the kiddos liked it. Their little store had everything that you may have forgotten at home.
