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.
Visitors enjoy the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. Petrified redwood stumps up to 14 feet wide and thousands of detailed fossils of insects and plants reveal the story of a very different, prehistoric Colorado.

Best 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.
GuideWe 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!!

This is the most beautiful RV Camp in Colorado. We come every year.

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.

Within minutes from Hartman’s Rocks and one of the only KOAs that has so much grass. We rented a cabin, no refrigerator or AC, and it was perfect for a fall trip. The colors of the Aspen made the entire area golden. Cabins are slightly close together. Would definitely tent camp and enjoy the grass and fire pits next visit.
Guide
Great small, year round rv park with cabins and tent area! Stayed there in 2019 and will be returning this year!
Guide
It 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
Looking at the website from the link on The Dyrt, there's no mention of RV sites, just Glamping cabins, etc. UPDATE: I'm headed to Canon City area so I'll check out this campground to verify.
GuideThe park is beautiful, covered in trees, almost all sites are shaded. We have 103 RV Sites, 5 cabins and 6 tent sites. Facilities include a clubhouse/office, pavillion, laundry facilities and a great bathroom/shower facility. Located just 2 miles north of downtown Gunnison, just before the Gunnison River.
We also have the best internet in the area!!
GuideThis is our second stay at the Royal Gorge Campground. We had a fabulous site surrounded by trees on three sides. The new owners are so accommodating! The newly remodeled bathhouse and laundry facilities are beautiful! I’d love to come back and stay in one of their new cabins with a fantastic view of the snow capped Sangre De Cristo mountains!
ScoutWe 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
Traveler
Nice place. Staff is very friendly. Pull though and back ins. Tent spots and cabins. 30 50 amp. Water and some spots with sewers. Nice office some supplies, showers, laundry. Spot by the river for fishing and or sitting. A bench to have a cup of coffee and watch the river. Cons. By hwy 50, busy in the day time, but not much traffic at night. This a great spot to refresh supplies before boonkocking in the mountains.
TravelerMy wife and I do a lot of traveling and have come to enjoy the cleanliness of KOAs when we are looking for something more comfortable during a trip. The KOA in Buena Vista had some nice features such as some unique cabins. The rest of the KOA was very outdated. The bathrooms, even when cleaned, still had the appearance of being filthy and broken down. Unless we needed a quick campsite, I don't think we will be staying here again.
TravelerGreat location with full hookups for RVs. The description mentions back-in sites only, and while our electric hookup was conveniently on the same side, we had to run our water and sewage lines underneath the RV since those hookups were on the opposite side—this seems to be the case for all sites. The campground is perfectly situated at the intersection of the Gunnison, Taylor, and East Rivers, making it ideal for fly fishing. They offer cabins, RV sites, and long-term housing options. There's a small store with basic items, beer, and merchandise, plus a fly shop in the same building. There's also a restaurant, though it was closed during our stay, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Overall, a great stay!
GuideThis is a great spot if you want to camp and have some fun and conveniences all in one place!
Location is great and is close by to Mt Princeton Hot Springs, rafting on the Arkansas River, hiking, and the town of Buena Vista.
Pros:
Cons:
My kids think this is the world’s greatest campground, which overcomes any negatives!

In my opinion this place is kind of rundown and dumpy. Maybe it hasn’t been maintained bc of covid closures? Idk either way I wasn’t impressed. We had a tent site. The tent sites were small and along a cliff with the Arkansas below. Our “large” tent site barely fit our big cabin tent, with enough room to park our vehicle. Our tent was literally a foot away from the road you pull in on. We had 2 young kids with us and I would not call it very kid friendly. We were Constantly having to keep an eye on them. Either they fall off a cliff into the river or worry about them getting into the main 2 way camp road that huge rvs and trucks drive by on. It was very hard to “relax” while kids were trying to play. The sound of the river at night was nice that’s about it. The encounters I had with staff weren’t great. A bit rude and unhelpful. I feel the prices are high considering you can’t use any amenities advertised due to covid restrictions. There were a lot of “rules” they had I haven’t encountered in other campgrounds. There are much prettier/nicer campgrounds along the Arkansas River I would stay at.

This is our home away from home. Just a couple of hours from Denver it becomes our weekend getaway destination. Jeff runs a great campground right on the Arkansas River. He keeps it clean and doesn't take any crap from anyone. Pricing is fair and the location is perfect. Just a couple miles out of town it's nice and dark. Only downside is the highway, you're only a few feet from 65 mph traffic.
LegendI am not exactly sure why this area looked so much more dusty than other photos I had seen but when pulling into this campground I was a little shocked and underwhelmed. I am used to KOA camps having some of the best amenities in the camping world but this one seemed a bit outdated. While they did have some nice amenities, the campsites themselves seemed to have little to no shade and were more dust and gravel than anything.
As a tent camper I have slept on some hard surfaces before and learned to pad my site accordingly for comfort, however there were a lot of large rocks in the area where tents would be located which were rather large. With these present it is hard to imagine other tent campers having a positive experience here or having moved them for comfort. Perhaps the best bet when staying here would be one of the unique cabins or RV options.
Tent sites were very high considering they have no hook up connections. After tax $40 this just was a bit over the top in my opinion. The no frills style of camping in this area has a picnic table and nothing else to justify the price point.
A positive to staying in the area was the proximity to many hiking trails and places to explore along the river. I noticed that within a 5 minute drive I could easily be in several access points for recreation opportunities ranging from fishing to hiking. The snowcapped mountain passes were only a short distance as was the ghost town of St Elmo. This is a huge positive for the campsite.
One thing I really did enjoy about this site was the camp cook area which is accessible to everyone staying at the park. In addition, there are a lot of small prairie dogs which make for a fun view throughout camp, especially near the road way.
On a negative note however, the bathrooms were outdated and in need of some TLC and the outdoor recreation space was in need of some soft space as opposed to the rocky landscape.

I 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.
LegendStayed here while thru hiking the colorado trail, what a wonderful time! Salida is a quick drive away and the trail is only a mile up the road. Staff was incredible and store well stocked. Taking covid seriously too! Thanks Monarch!

Don't know why this is listed twice on the dyrt but it was a lovely sftay nonetheless. They kept packages for us as we did the colorado trail and it was great each time we stayed. Thanks sugar loafin!
ScoutWe 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!
TravelerOur first time in Colorado. The campground was great! It has water and electric, a clean bathhouse and a laundry room. They have a campstore in case you need anything. The playground was closed due to Covid-19. We were only able to stay two nights or of the five I reserved. Being from Alabama, I couldn't handle the snow in June while in a tent.
Scout
This campground is located on hillside just off of Hwy 50 approximately 6 miles west of Salida, Colorado. A beautiful location. We stayed here two nights in June, knowing this is a relatively new KOA that used to be a private campground. We would have left at the end of the first day except that we met friends there and wanted to continue our visit with them. Water pressure was almost non-existent (we had to use our own water pump in the RV) and Wi-Fi was almost non-existent during peak times.
This campground is definitely not up to the standards of a KOA. We have stayed in at least 16 0thers. I am aware there are other nice campgrounds in this area competitively priced.
Management at the campground have registered our complaint, but no ne on their team was present to do anything. Staff was new and expressed their regrets for our complaint.
Scout
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.
Scout
Very nice place great fishing!! Leslie is hands down the best camp host! Statues in one of the yurts by the river and the accommodations were very comfortable and very peaceful!!
TravelerStayed one night while passing through. Clean site, close to town and minutes from the Arkansas River. The facilities felt brand new and the staff was very friendly/helpful. Outdoor shower is great for cleaning up or washing dogs.
