We’d not heard of it before but followed the signs and got the phone number. When we called, they had a riverfront site available and we snagged it. Our campsite was the third site from the office along the river. Nicole got us checked in and Josh and Charlie (camp host) showed us where our site was and led us to it via their golf cart. Charlie gave good directions while I backed in. All the utilities were perfectly located for our rig and the site was perfectly sized for our 30’ Class A as well as our TOAD, a 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4-door. By the way, there’s no need to disconnect your TOAD outside the park. There’s a large flat surface in front of the office. Our view across the Arkansas River was just breath-taking. Mornings were spent drinking coffee outside while the river roared by. We even saw the occasional kayaker or fishing raft go by. The dog park is a short walk from the campsite along a gravel path. It’s nothing fancy, but is along the river an good sized. There’s a putting green, horse shoe pit, and area for children to play on the other side of the office. Finally, if you turn right out of the RV Park, CR 47 goes under the railroad bridge (don’t worry, no trains anymore) and dead ends into CR 45. Take it either direction for a great and secluded walking route and some awesome sunset views. There’s very little traffic on this road.We had noticed in the reviews that Verizon service was non-existent but figured the advertised WiFi would suffice. We’d planned on spending the first evening in camp mapping out our hikes for the weekend. Unfortunately, even though the WiFi signal was strong, internet service through the WiFi was too weak to do anything. We spent the following day in Salida buying supplies, to include an AT&T Hotspot. The AT&T signal strength was so good, we were able to map out the rest of our weekend adventures using it. Honestly, this was the only part of the experience we didn’t enjoy. Everything else was awesome. Oh, and there was no TV reception, which wasn’t too big of a deal. We brought DVDs just in case we got really bored. Just be prepared if internet and TV is important to you.Bottom line: We’d definitely stay here again. Now that we know what’s available and what’s not, we can better prepare for our stay. Hopefully, you can too.

This park is hidden off the hwy and full of mature trees. You cross a great looking metal bridge coming into the park. It is very quiet other than the great sound of the Arkansas River running right by it. We splurged on a River site for a small additional cost which we loved but almost all the sites are desirable.

It is very quiet other than the great sound of the Arkansas River running right by it. We splurged on a River site for a small additional cost which we loved but almost all the sites are desirable. The owners have put a great deal of effort into adding landscape plants, rocks and wood timbers to provide beauty and character. They also provide places for the dogs and your children to play. Wifi was fair but ATT cell was more than adequate to provide Internet connection. This was one of my favorite places so far. I liked its relatively small size along with its clean attractive character

First, I can not say enough good things about the owners. They are hardworking, caring family and it shows in the park and the way they treat their guests. No, the sites are not paved. No pool or Pickleball courts. However, this is right on the river and only 15-20 minutes from Salida. Tons of outdoor things to do.

No, the sites are not paved. No pool or Pickleball courts. However, this is right on the river and only 15-20 minutes from Salida. Tons of outdoor things to do. We were in the second row off the river. River front sites are more expensive but oh what views. Full hook-ups and good AT&T service. No Verizon or anything else I’m guessing. They have WiFi but it is slow. This is a rustic, small, well kept campground. If you like to play Pickleball, Salida has a very active and welcoming group. Only word of caution. There is only on way into the park and you have to go across a small county bridge. I believe it was rated for 14 ton. Like others, we just held our breath and went across. Don’t just show up, it’s a small park. Make a reservation n

The only downfall of this campground is the absence of any cellular service. I guess this should be expected considering how remote this part of Colorado is. When I say you are off the grid, even the TV in our Airstream was able to pick up any network channels so we were forced to spend time doing other things. Not a bad thing! Esp...moreThe only downfall of this campground is the absence of any cellular service. I guess this should be expected considering how remote this part of Colorado is. When I say you are off the grid, even the TV in our Airstream was able to pick up any network channels so we were forced to spend time doing other things. Not a bad thing! Especially considering the fact that our site backed up to the Arkansas River and we caught fresh trout every night to eat. The camp host are extremely friendly and helpful. There are several trailers that stay at this campground because people use this place like a time share and come down from Denver, etc. to stay and fish. The closest little town with anything (groceries, etc.) is Salida, CO. Not a bad little place that has a Wal-Mart and a terrific brewery/bar called Soul Craft. If you are into IPAs I recommend the Hazy IPA. It's delicious!Another place that's close is Royal Gorge Bridge (30-45 minute drive). Pueblo, CO is about 1 hour from this campground and is probably the closest place that resembles a fully stocked city with everything you may miss from civilization. Oh, if you need cell/Wi-Fi service we were able to get our Verizon Jetpack to work perfectly when we went to Royal Gorge Bridge. The campground has Wi-Fi but don't expect it to work that great.Overall, this was a great campsite with the quiet ambiance of the river flowing and spectacular views of snow capped mountains in the background. We would definitely stay here again if we were ever in this area of Colorado again.

First the management is very accommodating and friendly. I just didn't love this park, partly because I had a site that was wedged in between two other trailers with very little room outside. But if you get one of the outside sites, this would be a good park.

I just didn't love this park, partly because I had a site that was wedged in between two other trailers with very little room outside. But if you get one of the outside sites, this would be a good park. It seemed to me that a lot of seasonal campers come here and for a good reason, it is a good park especially if you get one of the river loop sites. Also saw a lot of ATVs so if that is your thing, come here and get an outside loop site. The RV park itself is clean and the bathrooms were clean although there was only one for women and men. But they were clean and nice. Easy access to river for fishing and they have a great walking trail outside of the park that you can take your dog on a hike
