East Ridge Campground in Royal Gorge

We arrived on a Tuesday in September to find only 3 other sites occupied in the whole campground. The campsites were all well maintained and several had great views of Canon City. Royal Gorge is o ly a 7 min drive, and Canon City was 15. Pit toilets were pretty standard, and a camp host was available if needed. I will say that at $20 it was a little steep, $15 would probably be more appropriate pricing, but overall it was nice and relaxing

I took my 3 1/2 year old here for her first camping adventure and we had a great time! It was easy to find and the dirt road is well kept. We found a great spot on a Saturday around noon and it was a perfect distance away from everything. It's about 5 minutes(1.2 mi) from the Royal Gorge bridge and about 4 mi from food, ice cream, or souvenirs. The only thing I wish was around the area is a body of water or a river. It was very hot and it would have been nice to be able to cool off a bit. The campsite was clean and level, and my daughter was able to run around and play without me having to worry at all. There was a trail right behind the site that we were able to walk down and explore as well. All the sites are pretty tight together and I was able to hear other campers conversations. That was one downfall. I would recommend this spot to anyone with a smaller rig or tent set up. It would definitely be a tight squeeze for a fifth wheel or RV.

Stopped by on way view bridge to check out. Nobody camping there, great location. Some sites better than others. T-mobile 5G downloaded 76Mbps and 12upload. Visible not so hot on uploads with 88down & almost 1 upload
