Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lake George, CO

Cripple creek Rv park was very conveniently located just 2 blocks behind casinos . Great views . Most people here are long term. As a matter of fact no line else checked I or our when we were there. Make sure to call the day of arrival to confirm site number the are old school and no emails or txt . No paper or board for late night check in with direction for site . We got there late it was raining and thank you for nice level site . Overall if you are looking to do some gambling and see the site it works as a home base .

Total charge was $101/night with fees. $7 reservation fee (I called in) and $6.40 credit card fee. 

Feel free to think I'm paranoid but I absolutely did NOT like that we were required to allow them to copy our driver's license. In 12 years of RV'ing I've never seen this. The desk promised to shred the ID copy after we left or return it to us (when we left the clerk was confused about giving it back). 

SIX pages! of legalese rules you have to sign that are obviously not being enforced anyway and appear to be focused on long term guests.

If there had been other options for a last minute stay I would have left, but they probably would have kept my money. Cancelations <72 hours before is NO REFUND. 

Sites are adequately spaced and are neat and clean. Some small trees (fairly new park). Very nice paved roads and gravel sites but really just a parking lot. Some long term guests. 

No picnic table or fire ring (wood fires not allowed in any case). 

As with most "RV Resorts" describing it thusly is an exaggeration. 

Gate code required for entry, difficult to see screen in sunlight. 

Fees charged to accept packages.$1.50-$5 depending on size. 

Two dogs under 25 pounds each are allowed.

We weren't planning on staying in Fairplay, but it was getting late so we tried Middlefork RV Park. The sites are all gravel, ours was nice and level. You can get either full hookups or water/electric only. There is a dump station on site. You can pan for gold or trout fish right at the campground. I didn't check out the shower house, it's at the far end of the campground.

Lots of long term residents here. Great location. Lots of amenities.

Nice sites. A lot of long term residents. Wildlife right outside our door every morning.

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!!

Pretty much your average RV Park, though the bathrooms and showers were exceptional. Finding the place is a bit of a challenge though. You have to turn into a shopping Center parking lot, and go down a small dirt road on the west side of the lot. Kind of a weird setup but I guess because of the topography they had no choice. Front office dude was not really very friendly or welcoming. Some weird guy kept wandering around out in the field behind the RV spaces talking to himself.

The only thing missing was space between you and your neighbors. Full hook ups. Pool. Showers. Store. Level pads. Just too close to the next family.

As one of the only campsites with vacancies at last minute, this was a great spot to stop. Super close to pikes peak entrance and town, but still quiet. Super packed, lots of long term tenants. GREAT SHOWERS & laundry!

Great location. Full hook up. Helpful staff. Safe.

Not very nice. We paid extra for a river soy and it wasn’t worth the extra cost. Spots are TIGHT. We had to work so hard to get out trailer in. It’s pretty cramped all around actually- too close to the neighbors and not very many amenities.

Not bad overall, but I think if we return to Colorado Springs, we could find better.

At it's finest! This is really a great location and campground for long term stays. In spite if the numerous hailstirms in the area, this site is fabulous!! A was here for 2 months and found the site to be well maintained and patrolled. Staff were always friendly and helpful. most sites are well shaded and well drained during rain storms. Also, be sure to see the May Tropical Museum while you are there.

We enjoyed our stay here very much! Jeff has the place in fantastic shape and is very accommodating. There are very nice full hook-up sites as well as beautiful tent sites here. Bathroom and showers are spotless, too. And, rates are very reasonable!

We are Colorado folks and know where to find great campgrounds. We always enjoy Arkansas Rim and highly recommend it!

Convenient location to Cripple Creek CO. Mountain views. Situated on meadow hillside. Hiking trails, full hookups, fire rings with grills, picnic tables. Level sites with many pull thrus. Helpful owners. Sparkling bathrooms. Individual showers. Laundry rooms. Hummingbirds everywhere.

As I write this review, a fellow camper scurries past my open window about two feet from my face. Whoa. Good morning. The air is crisp, people are up early strolling with their dogs and the vague sounds of local traffic mix with the sounds and smells of bacon. The sites are tidy, clean, and sport full hookups. Not much to complain about, well, except for that social distancing thing. Even pre-Covid, the personal space here is very limited. Unfortunately, the advertised photos don’t represent the majority of the rv spaces. The staff is extremely friendly, and you really can’t beat the location with such great proximity to Manitou. For $75/night, we expected a bit more elbow room... just know before you go.

This campsite cost us $41 for one night in a tent sight. The sights were very close together with few trees for shade and privacy because of it. Luckily it was not very crowded on our side of the very large campsite. They do however have Wi-Fi and running water for toilets and showers. They have short hiking trails with beautiful views of the land and mountains. Fishing licences are available upon request for their small but full lake, however if you already have an state fishing licence you will have to purchase another one through them because they do not accept the state licences. A separate area for pets to run and play is also available at the back of the park, but otherwise, like most campgrounds, pets are required to be leashed. Long term camping is available here with many full timers helping out around the site. Very clean all around.

We wanted to be close enough to family, hiking and biking, and get a monthly rate during our stay this summer. This is apparently a struggle in the Colorado Springs area during the popular summer season.

The people who run the campground are an older couple and very nice, but somewhat disorganized. They were confused about our reservation, and accidentally overcharged us. No problem with a refund or our reservation in the end – just make sure you confirm everything if you decide to stay here.

The office/camp store is in disrepair. The park itself is a little run down, with a few recent looking upgrades mixed in (shower house, new chairs at each campsite). The worst part of being here IMO is the rigs that are obviously long term and look it, e.g., makeshift DIY winterization like plywood skirting.

Unless you get one of the spots in the back of the campground, all you see are these run down rigs. Not the mountains.

It's depressing.

There's moderate road noise from Highway 24. A white noise machine helps here.

There are picnic tables at each site, on concrete slabs. The one at our site was unfortunately sitting in mud, because the slab is too low and everything drains there. It's also adjacent to some sort of open drain, which doesn't help.

The maintenance guy came and shoveled the mud off the slab after we let them know we were moving the picnic table out of the mud. The next day it rained and the mud was back. By then I realized I didn't want to spend time outside in this park, at least not at the site we're in.
