Spillway Campground is perched along the South Platte River near the base of the dam of Eleven Mile Reservoir. Adventurists and families alike will find things to do here. Birding is excellent, as is hiking. Rock climbers enjoy the solid rocky cliffs of the canyon and fly fishermen find abundant catches in the river.
Hike the Overlook Trail for breathtaking views of Eleven Mile Canyon and Reservoir. Occasionally, Golden Eagles can be viewed nesting in the nearby granite cliffs and crags. Springtime brings higher chances of spotting Bald Eagles. Visitors enjoy fishing by shore or canoe. Rainbow and brown trout, kokanee salmon and pike are among the species anglers are likely to find.
The campground, at altitude 8,500 feet, is located at the edge of Eleven Mile Canyon, furthest from the canyon entrance. Some campsites are shaded by scattered spruce and ponderosa pine. Spillway is the closest campground to the Eleven Mile Reservoir, which spans 3,405 surface acres and 5 miles in length. Eleven Mile Canyon was cut by the South Platte River and is bordered by polished gray granite cliffs.

The artwork on뉴토끼 webtoons is top-notch. Absolutely stunning!
Guide
We had a great time. Our family and another reserved two sites next to each other. The pools on site were perfect for the kids. On site mini golf was a blast. The views in the campground were awesome. Aside from the aforementioned, there was a small store on site with ice and wood (can't bring your own wood) and the food they served at the mess hall was fire.
ScoutI asked for a space for my rv. The owner, Lauren offered me a site with only water and charged me 50.00. REALLY!!!!!!! No dog park. The stream that goes through the campground is VERY POLLUTED. No where to walk. The shower room had a vent that is so DIRTY that it is no ventilation. Muddy mess when it rains everyday. No pavement through the park. Owner is too busy dating someone who walks around like he owns the place.

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.
Guide
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.
GuideCampground 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.
Traveler
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.
Scout
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.
Scout
We stayed for three nights and would definitely return. Spots for RVs as well as tents. Also has cabins for rent. Didn't see inside one, but they looked really nice from the outside
The whole campground was very clean and well maintained. The bathhouse was the nicest I've ever seen at a campground
Added bonus that there is a small store where one can buy any last minute items, such as marshmallows in our case
Scout
Where to start? I reserved two spots. When we arrived the park was so tight we could not maneuver our campers into the spots. Upon investigation we discovered only three electrical hookups for five spots. So we requested new spots. Even those were extremely tight. I can’t open my awning without hitting the neighbors pull out. And again only one electrical hookup for two spots.
Parking is very tight at the campsite for your tow vehicle. There is overflow parking near the gate. Once we got set up we explored the park. Laundry room and showers were good. The pool was closed with no water. However, there is an indoor pool and fitness center.
The bright spot were the park hosts. Very happy and helpful.
It is close to the sights but not sure I would come back here.
Guide
Pleasantly surprised. Top notch campground.
Guide
Attention to detail here! Great owners.
ScoutDo NOT choose the 20ft spot for vans/car camping! They advertise as privacy fence and electric hookup- what they don’t tell you is that you literally park on the septic tank covers and the privacy fence is to block view from the basketball court. Yup, meaning all you hear is the bouncing of basketball and smell of sewer. Highly DONT recommend this place!!

This campground is an absolute dump run by dishonest crooks. We stayed here in October on a night that it got below freezing and snowed. We were put in a cabin that had a 2-inch gap between the bottom of the door and threshold. The heater was more like a hair dryer and didn’t warm the cabin. It was 40 degrees in the cabin so we didn’t sleep. The floor crunched while walking on it and the platform bed was metal. When we got off the bed there was a loud bang. When we tried to get a refund from the owners she blamed us and said the problem was we didn’t understand rustic cabins. We have stayed in rustic cabins in the cold months for 10 years and never experienced this. There are many places in Buena Vista…take your business elsewhere.
LegendThey say this is the world’s highest KoA. It’s in the side of a mountain, css as moving loops stretch up the hill, bathroom and shower are at the bottom of the hill! But they do have pizza and will deliver to your site. It was pretty dusty when we were there. Sites are not jammed together, and the hillside does allow for views over other campsites. Hummingbirds buzzed around all day. Close to Cripple Creek and Pikes Peak
ScoutIt was my first time camping, and this place is very beginner-friendly.
The site provides water and restrooms. The site is close to trails and fishing spots.
Traveler
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).
GuideGreat little campground. Sites are close but you are not right in top of each other. Electric and water (good water pressure) were perfect. The dump site was top notch - all tools supplied - water hose, slinky, even the spray tool to go inside bathroom. There was a little road noise but so much that it truly bothered me at all. Great location and I would definitely stay there again.
Guide
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.
ScoutEverything from friendly faces to taking care of the missing needs of the outdoors. My in-laws and kids absolutly love this place. Not to mention perfect for our disabled daughter.

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….
GuideIt 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.
Traveler
We have an Outlaw toy hauler so we’re so lucky to get a back-in spot overlooking the river. Slept with the back open and fell asleep to the river sounds. Just heavenly! Hope we can come back again and stay longer. Place is very clean. Looks like some people were river rafting up from here so maybe you can arrange that from the camp.
TravelerI 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.
GuideHad 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!
TravelerBest of both worlds! We had a great tent spot up on the hill with a great view of the valley behind. So it was a quiet tent spot to ourself, but 30 seconds down the hill foe access to the amazing restroom and showers! Also the laundry facilities were fantastic. The pool and hot tub were fantastic in the hot days. The staff was very nice!
Close to all the sites.
