Best RV Parks & Resorts near Poncha Springs, CO
Multiple RV parks and resorts surround Poncha Springs in the Arkansas River Valley. Monarch Spur RV Park provides 43 full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service, operating from May through November. The park includes picnic tables, showers, and dump station access. "Sites were incredibly long but a bit skinny but did the trick. You can hear the river running almost everywhere in the park," noted one visitor. Salida RV Resort features level, spacious sites with 30/50-amp electrical connections and water hookups. Wilderness Expeditions RV Park accommodates big rigs and offers creek-side spots with electric and water connections, though its sites may be close together. Valley Mobile RV Park in Buena Vista includes pull-through options for larger motorhomes with full hookups and trash service.
Several RV parks require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and fall leaf-peeping season. Mountain Time RV Park (formerly Tall Texan) provides 103 sites with 30/50-amp service but operates seasonally from May through October. Cell service varies between properties, with stronger connections at parks closer to highways. RV dump stations are available at Monarch Spur and Valley Mobile parks, with an additional public dump station at the Poncha Springs Visitor Center at the Highway 285/50 junction. Most parks accommodate pets, though some have restrictions. Riverside RV Park offers riverside sites that may require careful maneuvering—one camper noted that "it took a couple of tries to back our 20 foot travel trailer into the spot" due to parallel positioning to the river.
