Best Cabin Camping near Pike and San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands, CO

We had to change plans last minute and arrive here on short notice. They had sites to accommodate us and they were very welcoming. This was hands down the nicest privately owned rv park/campground we have ever stayed at! The bathroom suites have recently been remodeled and they are so nice! Best shower of our 10 day road trip. Nice laundry facilities, community rec room, hot tub, and even a hiking trail to the top of the mountain. Highly recommend.

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!!

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.

Beautiful place to bring the family as They have activities for all ages we stayed in a couples cabin which was beautifully done log furniture comfortable bed Fire pit in front of Cabin. There is showers laundry and store. Casions just 5 min away

Lots of stuff here. Cabins/studios. Tons of RV sites

Great small, year round rv park with cabins and tent area! Stayed there in 2019 and will be returning this year!

We stayed in our camper but they had nice looking cabins and talked to an older lady who said they kept them up real nice.

Me along with four other friends spent several days tent camping around the Colorado Springs area. On our last night of travel, our camping plans fell through and we needed to find a convenient place late at night to rest. We ended up at the KOA and took advantage of one of their adorable little cabins. All five of us spent the night, actually pretty comfortably, and got a great night's sleep. All and all a very positive experience at the KOA's wonderful, clean facilities.

This place has lots of stuff. Tons of cabins and RV spots. They have a few personal campsites with ceilings above them (like a carport). Lots of things for kids to do. Great views of Cheyenne mountain and Pikes Peak.

This place is really cool (if you got the cash). Tons of amenities, pancake breakfast with characters for the kiddos. Water slides (that were packed even with COVID😬).

The cabins are very nice as they should be for $250 a night

We stayed her while passing through to Kansas. The cabin was clean, the staff was nice and polite, they have fun activities for the kiddies or young at heart. We got in late and left early so overall our stay was nothing special but I would recommend it to anyone just passing through.

This 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!

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

What a place. Hundreds of spots- a water park, a bounce pad, cabins, golf carts, putt- putt oh my!

This place is a campers with kids dream. It can get noisy and it’s definitely not remote.

For the adults and families who want to hike I highly suggest spruce mountain trail. Nearby and full of great views! We drove around in the nearby quaint town of Larkspur and even spotted a bear!

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.

My 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.

We loved this koa, it happened to be our first to ever stay at... now we’ve booked 2 others! We stayed in a small basic cabin, it was great! Linens provided, clean! Even though we had neighbors on either side of us pretty close, it was a very quiet peaceful stay. They have a small water park across from the office... perfect for the kids (even though it was about a high of 50 degrees, it was so enticing the kiddos still swam!) all of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and hot showers! Small creek or river behind the property that was beautiful! An outdoor kitchen and wash room (super amazing amenity!) Activities were planned also each night we were there. Over all this koa defiantly started our addiction! Highly recommend for the family!

This 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:

• Variety of accommodation options: cabins, tent sites, RV sites
• Large pull through spots available for RVs
• Well stocked KOA store with groceries, souvenirs, and camping essentials
• Very friendly and helpful staff
• Fun indoor game room with air hockey, ping pong, darts, and a pool table
• While we stayed here, the camp hosts had an ice cream social which was also a fundraiser to send kids with cancer to camp

Cons:

• I prefer more isolation when camping, as you would expect for a KOA the sites are close and there are a lot of people and people sounds
• The bathrooms were a little stinky
• This is a very dry area, so it can be a little dusty at times

My kids think this is the world’s greatest campground, which overcomes any negatives!
