Wilderness Expeditions RV Park

Reservations are available at Wilderness Expeditions RV Park, a privately run campground in Salida, Colorado, with nightly rates running $40 to $50. Sites sit directly along the Arkansas River, and several back up to the water's edge, giving rigs a front-row position facing the river. The campground occupies a small valley, which reviewers say keeps road noise from the nearby highway largely out of earshot despite the commercial area directly across the street.

Electric and water hookups accommodate RVs, and the bathrooms and showers are included in the amenity lineup. Clint M. notes the bathrooms were clean during his stay, though he found the site sizes on the smaller end relative to the price. WiFi is available on-site, and at least one reviewer confirmed a reliable connection. Pets are welcome. The adjacent Wilderness Expeditions outfitter provides river activity options for those looking to get on the water.

The campground's location puts visitors close to Salida's downtown shops and services, and campers exploring camping spots near Salida will find this one of the more amenity-rich options in the corridor. Riverside RV Park sits just to the west for those comparing nearby alternatives. Given the riverside sites tend to fill quickly, booking ahead is the most reliable way to secure a spot along the water.

Many campers appreciated the scenic riverside sites and exceptionally friendly hosts. The valley location provides peaceful camping despite road proximity, though some found pricing high for site amenities.

Creek side escape

We were lucky enough to get a spot to park our 27ft trailer parallel to the creek - so we have a perfectly private front yard with a view. You can still hear the main road at times, but we have great wifi connection with our set up and are close to town with all the conveniences. Friendly and helpful camp host. Very pleased!

A little pricey but a great little campground

I stayed 2 nights in a rooftop tent while exploring the Salida and Buena Vista areas. Ran by really nice folks. Bathrooms/ showers were clean. Campground was quiet. Gave 4 stars because I thought the price was high given the size of sites and bathrooms could use some updating. Overall safe and quiet place. Would stay again.

Cutest RV park

Very nice shady spots along an Arkansas river off chute creek. Nicest camp host you could imagine! I go just for the charm!

Lovely small RV park right in town, but right on the river

Fantastic little campground right on the Arkansas river. It’s also right across the road from a Walmart and a Sonic, but down in a small valley so you don’t hear the road noise. It was our first night in our new RV and we’d happily go back. Our site was backed up directly to the river. Helpful hosts, hookups available, a great place to camp peacefully yet still be right near the amenities of Salida. The expedition company is right next door as well offering all sorts of activities.
