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.

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

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

Cutest RV park

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. 

A little pricey but a great little campground

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!
