Riverside Colorado: A Poudre Canyon Retreat

Riverside Colorado isn’t just a glamping resort. It’s the rugged heartbeat of Colorado’s wild side, reimagined for modern travelers who want luxury without losing the thrill.

Nestled along the roaring Poudre River and surrounded by national forest, Riverside offers front-row access to iconic Western activities: whitewater rafting with Rocky Mountain Adventures, hiking trails that disappear into alpine serenity, and live fireside concerts just steps from your stay at The Mishawaka — a historic music venue under starlit skies.

But this isn’t roughing it. Riverside’s architectural design blends seamlessly with the mountain landscape, using natural materials and minimal footprints to honor its environment. Each stay offers handcrafted interiors, private fire pits, and views designed to make you feel like the canyon was made just for you.

Our connection to local makers and vendors through onsite amenities including the Kind Bean Coffee Cart (serving our very own Riverside espresso and baked goods from Fort Collins Local bakery, Me Oh My Coffee and Pie) and the Poudre Park Market (providing local dairy, snacks, and other products) bring the authentic Colorado culture right to your doorstep.

From polar plunges to music under the pines, Riverside Colorado isn’t just where you stay — it’s where you feel something real.
