The best great views campgrounds near Glenwood Springs, Colorado

The small city of Glenwood Springs sits on the shores of the powerful Colorado River. The skiing mecca of Aspen is about an hour to the southeast. Big-city Denver is a straight shot east on I-70, about two and a half hours away. Looking for a spot to make your home base for area exploration? Head to Glenwood Canyon Resort. The RV park accommodates both small and large vehicles and offers full hookups. You'll also find tent camping sites right on the Colorado River. Didn't bring either? No problem! Rent one of the resort's super-cute cabins or cottages. Ami's Acres is another very accessible campground, as it sits just three miles from downtown. As its name implies, the city's famous hot springs are one of its biggest draws. Plenty of area businesses offer time in these rejuvenating natural baths, but you don't necessarily have to pay. Head to South Canyon Hot Springs just outside of town to hop in one of its undeveloped pools for free. Bonus: its hillside location provides lovely views while you relax! You can also drive about 30 minutes south to reach another free spot, Penny Hot Springs.

Enjoy hut-style glamping at its finest in our modern mountain yurt. Bask in the sun and take in the stunning panoramic mountain views on our one-acre property above the quirky town of Marble, CO. With immediate access to public lands and some of the best backcountry skiing, hiking, biking, lakes, rivers, and BBQ in Colorado, there is truly something for everyone to love! The heated bathhouse features a toilet and foot pump sink. Purified drinking water is available from May - September. You must bring your own water from October - April. The kitchen features an oven/range and basic cooking and serving supplies. There is no refrigerator, so please bring your own cooler and ice. Campfires are allowed, but it is your responsibility to determine if there is a fire ban in effect. Firewood may be available or dead wood can be collected on the property. There is a picnic table nestled in the scrub oaks. We only rent one side and the entire property is private to you! We do have neighbors, but the property is pretty well tucked away. You may see the occasional vehicle or hiker on the road or hear someone doing some yard work, but it is generally very quiet and secluded at the yurt. Our neighbors have chosen to live in Marble for its privacy and tranquillity. Please show them respect by keeping the noise down and leaving them be. If you have questions or need help, call us from the yurt landline. Winter camping experience/equipment and a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle with severe snow-rated tires and chains may be required to access the yurt Oct-April. During large snow events, driving to the yurt may be impossible in any vehicle. Skiing to the yurt may be an option Dec - Feb. Gear sleds are available at the yurt for your use.

Weekend Trip to Marble Mountain Yurt

This was a beautiful and secluded plot of land. The yurt had everything we needed! Beds were comfy. We very much enjoyed our time here. To quote my friend “I’d do that trip 100 times over again”.

Weekend Trip to Marble Mountain Yurt

My partner, dogs and I absolutely loved this Yurt! In addition to the amazing view, there is so much intention in the design and layout of the place. It has a decent lawn with yard games, hammocks and a fire pit plus easy access to the exterior bathroom (which was so cozy and smelt lovely being it is a compost toilet). The Yurt itself was to well designed. All the appliances and fixtures were easy to use when following the meticulous directions in the guidebook (photos were super helpful). We had such a great time playing games and getting cozy in the yurt, eating meals on the patio amongst the mountain backdrop and also exploring Marble and hiking around to see views, waterfalls and the quarry. Definitely would go again!!

Weekend Trip to Marble Mountain Yurt

This yurt was so well done. If you’re looking to get away and be in nature this is the place for you! Meg and Evan checked in to make sure we were all set up for our stay and had everything really nicely laid out so we had zero questions. We are looking forward to staying again! Our dogs had a blast running around and exploring the tiny town of marble.
