Rainbow Trout Ranch and Campground

A hidden gem in the Colorado Rockies, Rainbow Trout Ranch offers a serene mountain retreat. With its riverside setting and towering trees, this campground is perfect for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. The sites are rustic but well-kept, and the peaceful environment is ideal for disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of Denver. Nearby hiking trails and wildlife add to the charm.

AIM for a site along the creek. And beware of the rules. No wildfires nor swimming in the creek.

The campground was clean and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. One note, the water connection is a little far from the camper in some cases, so might not hurt to bring an extra hose. We'll definitely be back

Stayed for 3 nights. Reviews online made me apprehensive.Thought we would be dealing with a run down camp site and neighbors that we would have to be cautious around, this was not the case. It has electrical hook ups, spots for you to fill your water tank, and an area to dump your tanks. We didn’t partake in the fishing but saw a few people pull out some nice trout.

A great place to start! My husband and I are new to RVing . So we came here to organize and get the feel before we take off on our adventure. Close to the cites and other mountain towns. Views are amazing. Staff is so friendly and helpful. We caught lots of beautiful trout. The space was great and the views, I can't say enough about the views. It's very clean except when the bear comes for a visit. He dosen't clean up after himself. I will definitely be coming back here.

Rainbow Roundup Trout Ranch is an interesting place. 

I’m a glass half full kind of person so let’s start with the pros-  the location is directly off highway 285 with really easy access in and out. 

The campground is also located on the road to a lesser known state park- Staunton State Park. This is an awesome place to check out. 

There are 2-3 little fishing ponds on the property that are well stocked (read:easy pickings) with trout. These ponds attract lots of families with little kiddos wanting to wet a line. Very cute idea but can get crowded on weekends. 

Now- on to the campground- yikes. Not exactly what one would hope for in a campground. 

There are maybe 8–10 spots, of which 4-5 of them are permanent residents with some shadier looking setups. 

There was no one that came out to meet us, no one that checked in with us the whole time.  

The spots themselves are basically all centered around a gravel culdesac. The hookups are old and can be problematic, the picnic tables need serious repair and and many of the sites had been trashed with litter- very sad. 

Not somewhere we would  visit again for camping but maybe a quick fishing fix!
