Aspen Acres is a small, quiet RV campground located in the less traveled San Isabel mountain range, only 25 minutes from I-25 at 9200 ft(Google Map HERE) Our R.V. sites all provide standard hook ups and are gravel and grass. We don't believe in asphalt and concrete pads up here in the mountains. Each site has water, electric(30 amp), and all but 7 have sewer. There are 8 cabins, a park model for large family's, 5 outfitter tent sites, and a handful of tent spaces. Wifi is available for those who want to connect. Oh, did we mention you don't have to go over any mountain passes to get here?
ScoutOlder privately owed and operated by good people. Most of the people here are long term. There's a few RV spots for temps and overnighters and a sewer dump for fee. There's a kids park, laundry and bathrooms and one tent spot.

As I write this I'm looking out on a spectacular sunset from our spot at Oasis RV campground.
This is our second night here and as RV parks go it's got all the basics covered. You don't come to this RV camp ground for the amenities you come here for the Dunes. Which are STUNNING.
So I recommend coming here if you want a full hookup site that is super close the entrance to the GSDNP. This is no resort but a great place to setup Basecamp for all those awesome adventures in the park.
Traveler
A little close together and close to the highway. Expect some traffic noise throughout the night. Large park with fishing, hiking and more. Picnic tables (some with shelters), fire rings and vault toilets available thoughout the tent camping site, rv hookups and playground also available.
ScoutWe’ve done 2 weeklong stays at Grape Creek RV Park near Westcliffe, Colorado. The spaces are long and level and each contains full hookups, a large patch of grass, aspen trees, and best of all great views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The town of Westcliffe with shops, museums, restaurants, and grocery store is a couple miles away. Within an hour’s drive there are many attractions, much wonderful scenery, and endless lakes for fishing and trails for hiking. Don’t miss out!

[Internet. Didn’t need it so I didn’t test it.]
Dump station? - no but sites were full hookups Water fill? - no but sites were full hookups Clean site? - 🤷🏼♀️ Clean bathroom? - no. But with flip flops the hot showers and warm bathrooms served their purpose in the bitter cold winter. Just don’t expect a working lock on either of the Women’s shower doors. Flush toilet? - yes Showers? - yes, hot
Why did we stay? We visited Great Sand Dunes NP and had planned to stay at the dry campground called Zapata Campground. We had been having issues with our diesel heater and needed electricity to plug in our electric 120 heater. This RV park had all the creature comforts and a gas station. Buuuuutttt it was sketchy.
ScoutCalled ahead to ask about availability. Person said they don't take reservations but they had room. Pulled in. No signs directing one. Guy walks up and said I'm blocking entrance. I asked about where to park. He asked how long my stay would be. I said one night. He said they only accept long term. Slum looking location. We went to a local truck stop and spent the night.
GuideStaff is great, several full hook up RV pull through sites, cleans bathrooms and showers. The view of the Dunes from the RV area is wonderful and only four mile from the entrance to the National Park. Good rates compared to others in the area. Zapata Falls is less than 10 miles away, Alamosa is thirty minutes. The views just driving this area are amazing and Mt Blanca is breathtaking.
GuideWe had just spent two nights along the highway due to RV needing repairs. We picked the first RV Park we could find. Fortunately, they could accommodate us, but it was a less than desirable place. First, it was extremely tight access; we had to ask a neighbor to move his truck. It was a full hookup, but the tap was broke so we had to tap into the neighbor’s waterline with a splitter. You can’t choose your neighbors but many in the park gave us concerns for our safety. We had to park our truck at the end of the park due to the limited space... wish more RVers would have been as considerate. We didn’t use any of the facilities so can’t comment on cleanliness. There is a large open trench by the trash cans, so watch out if you have children.
RangerWe spent one night here so we could go to the park. Nice enough campground with level spaces and full hook ups. We paid $54. Area also has cabins and a lodge as well as a store with a little restaurant. The showers were amazing at this place. Nice hot copious amounts of water and very clean. About 4 miles from the park entrance. Sandunes were pretty cool, but unless you want to hike to the very top of them, you could easily only spend two hours at the most here. 
GuideThis campground is so conveniently close to the national park. The property was well-maintained and clean. The staff were very friendly. And, there was a restaurant, gift shop and equipment rental shop on the property.
Our RV spot had full hookups but the sites were so closely spaced that there was no room for a picnic table or outdoor seating. The bathrooms were modern, clean, and with hot showers.
Guide
Beautiful campground with level sites. Come prepared, it is in the middle of downtown so a lot of traffic noise of loud cars racing down the road and it is right next to the railroad tracks. The train whistle is deafening and will rattle your teeth. 5 trains came by the one night, one as late as 10 pm. Campground is gated. Super friendly staff, We didn’t use or look at the showers and other facilities. Full hookups with great water pressure.
GuideWould give five stars, but right on the main road through the San Luis Valley so it's a little loud, and bright at night. That said, it's still peaceful, and the people are nice. Has shower and laundry for guests, and full hookups for RVs. It's $30 per night or $199 a week, we stayed two days, and would stay again. They allow pets, but have a strict "no pit bulls" dog policy. So unless your "pit bull" is a service dog, they can't stay. Unfortunately dog breeds and temperaments are still misunderstood, but that aside, good people, and nice little place to stay.

Stayed 3 days back in March 2020. This is a well maintained no thrills RV park in the desert region of Colorado. Flat and level spaces that can accommodate any size RV. Large clean laundry facility and clean restroom and showers. Beautiful at night watching the stars but WINDY WINDY WINDY during the day. Good location to access dunes and south west park of Colorado. Did I say it was windy here!? It’s windy!
LegendWe booked here last minute on a holiday weekend and we were thankful they had a spot for us! The campground parking area is just that. It’s a place to park for the night, with full hook ups. No wifi. The location can’t be beat! Views are incredible! The bath house was clean. There is a store and restaurant in property. They also have cabins to rent. . My only complaint…this is a dark sky area with expansive views of the sky and the opportunity to see the Milky Way. This is not something g I get to see at home! However, all the giant campers had their bright lights on at night and it really messed with viewing of the sky. I wish there was a rule of no outside lights at night. It’s unnecessary! If you are one of those people that leave your lights on when you go in for the night, please reconsider!

GPS won’t get you here because 2nd Street is bisected by a creek with no bridge. I had to back my trailer a couple of blocks. Their website does contain a warning about the GPS problem, so pay attention.
I went for the Premium River site (creek). Directly across the creek is a horse enclosure - IOW stinky. The horse enclosure is about 50 feet from the back of my trailer. I’m in site 9. There are also dogs without leashes that cross the creek and come into the RV Park.
There are plenty of trees here but I can’t sit outside at my trailer. Luckily I’m traveling with friends and their spots aren’t as odorous.
This park has great reviews on RVParky, but I’m just not in a good spot.
Guide
Pretty campground surrounded by mountain ranges. Services are limited-campsites have power but potable water is not available at the park. RV Park and store in nearby Blanca will let you fill up for $4. Communal dump station at park entrance. Sites were spacious and level. Only loop A has lake views, but not much to see.
Campers have to get a state wildlife pass ($42) which gives you a year of camping in state wildlife areas, or a year hunting or fishing license also gives access. Limit 14 days.
Guide
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!

WE LOVED OUR TRIP TO THIS RV PARK. NESTLED ON THE RIO GRANDE RIVER AND PLENTY OF LARGE COTTONWOOD TREES PROVIDING SHADE AND A REPRIEVE FROM THE WARM AFTERNOON SUN. LESS THAN ONE MILE FROM DEL NORTE WITH SHOPS AND DELICIOUS MICRO BREWERY AND MICRO BAKERY (WHICH OPENED THE DAY WE ARRIVED). HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR FAMILIES AND PETS.
PLAYGROUND FOR KIDS HAS A FUN ZIPLINE AND LOTS OF TRAILS TO WALK THE DOGS.
ScoutGreat RV park in east walking distance to DT Alamosa. We walked to coffee place in the mornings and farmers market Saturday. Great clubhouse with super clean bathrooms and showers, workout room, puzzles and couches. Little green for golf. Only reason it wasn’t a 5* is that you do hear road noise - we got lucky with the train and didn’t wake us, but as others said, is right on the tracks. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the area.
GuideThis is a privately owned spot with many amenities for campers and also sand board rentals for the Dunes. We have only camped in the dispersed area. In season there is a rail car for bathrooms in the dispersed area, otherwise you'll need to use the facilities where the RV's park. IT is quiet but the camp spots can be close together. both times we have been here, we had deer walk thru our site. You also have great views of the dunes in most spots and the 14ers near Crestone.

We love this place. Our family has been coming here over the years, and it's still a favorite. The pools are artesian hot springs. The pools are extremely kid friendly, and there are greenhouses with 21+ soaking and bar.
Camping is 20 bucks a night and you get half off camping when you camp here.
The camp sites are basic, but they have water, bathrooms, showers, laundry and such. Also RV park with plugins, dump and water.
they serve food, and they also allow you to bring your own food and to bring your dogs.
We get a weekend away for about 80 bucks for two nights and swimming, and we can bring our kids and dog....it's a winner!
They have a shop that sells items needed like bathing suits and sunscreen and treats and they also rent out toys and such.
TravelerPlenty of spaces when we arrived. Few RV sites that had full hookups and then gravel road to a lot more primitive spots rocky but nice. Great views in the mountains and can see the Great Sand Dunes. Two bars version service.

There’s 2 KOA’s in Pueblo, so heads up. I drove past this one thinking I was staying at the one on the north end of town. We stayed one night and it has a cool little playground for the kids, a little dog park for your dogs and full hookups, which is nice. The people at check-in are great, and they have someone drive out to your site with you, which is very nice. The sites are right on top of each other, so if you have a neighbor you can’t open your awning, and you’re close to the highway.
GuideThis 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.)
RangerWe should have arrived and checked in by 3:30pm. But had a lack of gas issue. Passed up $5.90 stop. Has the range to go the 19 mile to next station for $4.78. But did not figure in the Frigging HEAD WIND, Went from 11 mpg to 3 and 4 mpg. Was 1.5 miles short. OnStar dispatch with in 5 minutes of our stop. 2.5 hr later back on Road. During down time call Cool Sunshine RV park to tell them we were still coming. Said sorry for our delay but gave us our spot no# C15, gate code to open gate. Had our welcome packet taped to office door with all others info about park. They said they were going to run my card for rest of our stay. Green Grass between and around park. Flat gravel roads and deep camp sites there are pull through down center of park. No pool. But two horse shoes puts, corn holes boards, some game called GA-GA pit. Like Dodge ball, but all in circle. Small finced dog park. Nice gate coded bathroom and showers. And Laundry room!
Guide
Wow! Beautiful views! A river with cliffs on one side and mountain views on the other side. It is right on Hwy 50 which means easy access, but also lots of road noise. We stayed in three different spaces because we kept wanting to stay longer. They were all nice sized spaces, although some spaces appeared to be rather small. Some full hookups, some water and electric only and about three tent sites. We spotted big horn sheep on the cliff behind us! The park also had a live singer entertain one night!
TravelerNice clean campground. Had full hookups, paid $55/night. Stayed here to go to Great Sand Dunes Nat. Park. Beautiful trees in the fall and great sidewalk that loops around and down by the river. Office was accommodating and let us arrival after posted hours with an easy phone call. Fun kids area with playground and treehouse with zip line.
