Best RV Parks & Resorts near Leadville, CO
Sugar Loafin' RV Campground sits just 3 miles from Leadville, offering big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service. The campground features level gravel pads with adequate spacing between sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring.

For those willing to venture beyond Leadville proper, Valley Mobile RV Park in Buena Vista (about 30 miles south) operates from April through October with spacious pull-through sites that accommodate larger motorhomes. Mt. Princeton RV Park, also near Buena Vista, remains open year-round with 30/50-amp service and sewer connections. "The outer edge sites are far better for views and space but even the sites in middle are spaced out enough to have table and fire pit in each spot," noted one Sugar Loafin' visitor.
Navigating mountain roads requires careful planning for RV travelers in this high-elevation region. Most parks near Leadville sit above 9,000 feet, where overnight temperatures can drop significantly even in summer months. Sanitary dump stations are available at all the full-service RV parks, though some charge additional fees for this service. Cell service varies considerably throughout the area, with stronger signals in Leadville proper and more limited connectivity at outlying campgrounds. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks, though some maintain restrictions on certain breeds or limit the number of pets per site. During peak summer season and fall color periods, advance reservations are strongly recommended as the limited number of RV sites with hookups fill quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.
