Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lamar, CO

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Sundance High Plains RV Park. From the wonderful welcome we received when we checked in to the amenities of the Park it was great. Moderately priced, attractive, and accommodating.

Nice RV park with a bonus of "cabin" rooms in a newly refurbished vintage motel. For a few bucks more than camping, we opted for a nice room with queen beds and a hot shower. Delightful change after 11 days camping.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. 😑 First and foremost you cannot arrive after hours without a reservation and by creating an account. Then upon paying for your site, which only has electric by the way, you also have to purchase a $9 parking pass. We had to purchase one for our RV AND one for our car. Camp hosts are nonexistent. The facilities were FILTHY ! One shower open that YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR. $1 in quarters got me 2 mins and upon shooting out freezing water without warning , it took over a minute to get warm so then I had under 60 seconds to do a quick wash. Mind you- I typically boon-dock and off grid camp but figured I would splurge and hook up for the night ( traveling across country) and use a facilities shower. The floor was filthy and there were excrements left not only in the toilet but also on the seat. I’m just really bummed out.. would not recommend. On the plus side, I had a gorgeous balled Eagle fly right over head that left me in awe. And the sunrise was very beautiful.

This is the place you want to be! Campsites are nicely spaced and mostly level! I’d estimate that 80% have really nice shade trees. Electric provided with water nearby but I understand it’s not worth drinking but suitable for showering etc. I always carry drinking water anyway!

...but strange parking. Tip — park further away from hookups than you think you should. Very nice common area. Sculptures, structures and grass 😉.

Fair Pricing! A perfect one night stay for campers who need a place to stay and won’t be using the extras as they do not use a dump station or electric. If your on the road, out of state (quasi-retired aft. 65) trying to see YOUR country and not having deep pockets. Colorado not only charges you a fee to drive into their state Parks but also charge site fees for a camping site. (They should make allowances regarding out of staters & 1 night stays.) This Park was great and does that. It is level, pet friendly for ppl who travel with a pet. (We do not) Plenty hot water in the shower. Happy to have discovered them via local C’ty Rec Ctr. ALSO, really enjoyed friendly knowledgeable staff!

Well spaced sites with many trees and Lake Hasty. Bents Fort and Sand Creek Monument in area. Clean showers and rest rooms. Water is available, but no hookups.

We loved staying here, but there were certainly much better camp sites with trees and views. We booked an electric site on the east side of the dam and it was one with a lake view but had zero trees around. We had never been there prior so we know better now which spot we would book. The spots closest to the damn have zero trees and you're out in the open. My only complaint is we called the park to ensure that our friend with a roof top tent could share our spot, and we were told no since the tent is "attached" to the truck it is considered a "camper". So our friend had to cancel his trip since the park was sold out. Come the weekend, and we saw countless violations to this said park rule. One campsite had 5 vehicles, 8 tents and we counted at least 18 plus campers! The park rangers just drove on by. The other issue was we paid the reservation fee and pulled our travel trailer in. They still charged us an additional $9/day fee for our truck...that pulled the trailer. I have not heard of that before so it was a bit of a surprise. Cell phone service is a bit spotty, so prepare to be off-grid. The views are gorgeous and it is very peaceful there at night. The closest town to get anything you might have forgotten is about a 30 minute round trip drive.

Spent the night in early March 2023 on our way back to Colorado from picking up our new Casita travel trailer in Texas. Only four sites were occupied on the evening that we stayed there. The trees were leafless and the grass was that lovely winter brown color, but we loved the solitude and peacefulness of a nearly empty campground.

$20 for campsite plus $9 fee if you don’t hold a Colorado State Park pass, total $29 for no electric or water and pit toilets not near campsites. No shade at the “Pointe”. It’s a dam on the Arkansas River set in the prairie. Buggy. No easy access to the water near campground. Smell of cattle feed lots on the breeze.

Easy in and out. Big pull through sites. Clean. Year round water/sewer/electric. Cell coverage one bar for Verizon and one to two bars AT&T

Lots of sites, electric service and water from a tap close. A few nice places to walk and from the back of a bike, plenty of places to ride and explore. Also has a small hike and a frisbee golf course.

Stayed 3 days in October. Site's are in prairie among wooded river bottom. Shade is abundant. Reservations required, easy to obtain at gate. Site's electric only. Water at hydrants. Good facilities,shower laundry and restrooms. Plenty of activities for exploring and fishing. T-mobile cell was spotty as well as radio reception. Streaming is possible but not dependable. Our campsite had an issue with flies. Not a deal killer but have your repellant handy.

We stayed at this campground on a weekend sightseeing trip. It is an hour away from Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site (and another 2 hours east one would arrive at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site).

This is your basic State Park Reservoir camping site. You will need a reservation and either an annual park pass or daily parking fee for your vehicles. There is large reservoir for boating and fishing. Swimming is allowed seasonally, but not during our stay. There was a few playgrounds for young kids near Hasty campground and a geocache nearby (watch out for cacti for the small children). Lots of space for the kids to run, play and ride bikes.

A lot of turkey vultures and a skunk were spotted from our campground. Very windy in a tent during our late April stay.  We had lunch at a picnic spot, but we were glad it was 70 degree April day because there was no shade at there.

Stayed in September 2022, stopped in on the way home to KS. Unfortunately lake down to 4% at present so don’t plan on fishing swimming. They are going to be working on the dam. Campsite level & nice on Hasty lake side of Dam. Shower are pay. Probably a nice place when the lake is full.

It's hard to give this place the credit it deserves when you come off of a mountain over 10,000 feet!!! Sites 1-20 something are up next to the dam and levee. Site 9 is the farthest from the road that separates this section from the bigger portion of the campground. There is only electricity at these sites with community water. There are restrooms (that we didn't use) and garbage containers scattered throughout. This park's saving grace is the lake and the abundant wildlife... mostly birds, but beaver and skunks were seen! Roads are paved, sites are rock with little cabana-type shelters, a picnic table and fire ring. Sites 1-20 something have scattered small trees... site 9 probably had the largest... a young cottonwood. The largest section of Hasty campsites are well treed, some at water's edge. If you're going to stay longer than 1 night, especially during the summer, try to reserve in the big section with trees! It's a popular, year-round park with fishing on Hasty Lake and boating on the reservoir side!

We were traveling cross country & really just needed a place to settle in for the night . We decided on this campground based openings. There are 2 sides to this campground- 1 more on the water , with more trees between sites & the other in what’s basically an open field . We stayed on the open side. While I usually wouldn’t choose such little privacy , we were pleasantly surprised! The sites are really spread out & there was only a small handful of folks , so no one was anywhere near us. It was quiet , dry neat & there was a central water source if needed. The site did have electricity. It was very dark at night but it made for amazing star gazing ! This campground is definitely off the beaten path. It fit the bill for the night but I’m not sure what else is around it for entertainment value. It’s supposed to be a great place if you fish & we were told there many opportunities to see eagles but more on the reservoir side.

Called in a rainstorm looking for a site just for the night. They give no discount and also charge a fee just to drive into your site if your out of state. They were far from full. Why not make revenues and give a discount under these conditions. GS Agent sounded haughty regarding questioning the fees. Ppl like to travel but don’t always have deep pockets like the huge RV to spend esp. when just passing thru being an out of stater

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 55 for 2 days in mid June. The pull-through sites are very roomy, lots of open space and fairly level. This is a fairly large CG and there were only a few other campers here mid-week. The road leading to the CG is a little bumpy, but not too bad. The gravel roads within the CG are filled with fairly significant pot holes that must be maneuvered around and there are a few low branches that need to be trimmed. The men’s showers were rust stained, but otherwise fairly clean, but my wife said there was hair on the floor and walls of the women’s showers. The showers are coin operated and mine was amply hot, but the water heater kept shutting off every 45 seconds or so. Turning the faucet off and back to hot would start it again. My wife said hers didn’t shut off, but only got warm. Water spigots available around the CG, but the one nearest us was out of service. AT&T coverage was decent, with 1-2 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 3.5 MB/s. We had a clear view of the southern and northern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site and Starlink had speed up to 5 MB/s.

This is more of a review on the Colorado's reservation system than the campground it self.  This is a by reservation only campground, which I did not know about before arriving as I was traveling and this was not my intended stopping point for the night.  As it turned out I was unable to camp here.  Arrived at 7pm after hours and they only way to make a day of reservation was to use their online system which started out fine.  Made a account with Colorado, then made one for the reservation system got to the final step and then it would not let me agree to the terms of service, tried numerous times with out luck.  They have two ways to pay for your entrance to the park, by paper or electronic means at a kiosk, but only through their reservation system for a campsite.  Would be nice if the kiosk would let you reserve a site.  So if you are traveling and need a campsite get here early while park staff are still on duty or you might be out of luck.

Love it here! Clean grounds, lots of birds. Quiet place, was able to catch up on sleep during the day. Super friendly owners and office staff of the feline variety! 😺💕

All gravel, but neat and clean. New Owner's for one month now. Nice folks and they are working hard to spiff the place up.

Right after we set up, a huge storm went through. Never lost power and all was fine. Staff was friendly. A weird set up here, but it works well!! Facility is all gravel. Plenty of room to maneuver. Nice grass area for dogs.

We were traveling through and needed a place to crash for the night so we decided to stop in for the night... Was a great family friendly environment and pet friendly... Would recommend them without hesitation... I look forward to camping there more in the future myself...
