Weekend Trip to Four Seasons RV Park

My family of 5 absolutely loved The Four Seasons! We stayed right above the river and it was not only beautiful but also so nice to hear the river while going to sleep and waking up to it! Everyone was very friendly and everything was accesible! It was also so nice to have the town nearby! Perfect spot to camp but also go out and do something fun!

1 night at Dreamweavers Oasis

Lil Buddha was a gem within a gem! A trailer that’s all you need for coziness, a bed and shelf, on land graced by mt Blanca and all the touches those working the land have added. Such wholesome ways to breathe in the forest there, especially walking outside in middle of the night to stargaze and see all the dancing solar lights on the ground.. illuminating the wild irises and flora.

1 night at Dreamweavers Oasis

It was a very nice stay, waking up to a beautiful view was amazing! We had a nice time setting up camp that night. My dog enjoyed walking around the area.

2 nights at High Peaks Campground

This was one of the coolest camping spots we’ve ever stayed at. We happened to be the only campers on the property the first night and stayed at tent site 17. The second night another set of campers joined but they were far enough away that we couldn’t hear them. We had a camper van as well as a truck with teardrop camper and there was plenty of room at tent site 17. The campground is out in the middle of nowhere. You can see the great sand dunes way off in the distance which is cool and you can’t beat the star gazing. Luckily we were the only folks at the campground. You can definitely see other campers on the campground (if there had been some) as there’s no trees or anything between the sites. They are spaced far enough apart though. Would recommend if you want beautiful views of the sky.

3 nights at M Lazy C Ranch

We had a great time. It was peaceful and quiet.everybody was friendly. And there's tons of things to do, and they're right next to the national forest.

1 night at Sweetwater River Resort

This was a 10 out of 10 experience from the scenery to the accommodations. It was rural enough, but still had the connection of Wi-Fi. It was the perfect balance of unplugging and being in nature while not missing any emails. I would absolutely come back here again. The space had everything you could need!

4 nights at Frenchman's Creek Ranch

Very nice place to stay. Bathrooms And shower are nice and the included propane fireplace was a welcome sight

1 night at Monarch Spur RV Park and Campground

Lovely family-oriented staff. Wonderful spot that was clean and peaceful with the nearby stream. Multiple showers and stalls with plenty of room. Also, laundry, such a luxury when on the road :) 10/10 recommend!

2 nights at Sweetwater River Resort

Love this campsite! Location is amazing, right next to the Arkansas river and close to Cañon city where you can grab anything you need! Bridge made the camping trip more of an adventure! Falling asleep to the river was probably the best part of the trip. Would definitely come back and recommend anyone to come check this spot out!

Nearby you can find many different trail systems for all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking to jeeping, ATV or dirt biking and equestrians - you can find it all!

Be sure to bring extra bug spray and protection needed against biting insects such as flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. For those bringing your pets, they MUST be on a leash/lead at all times. While I do not have much cactus on my property, I do have an abundance of greasewood (Chico brush) which is very thorn-like if stepped on. Accommodations for those with livestock or horses, just make sure you chat in advance your initial message. Close to BLM, and National Forest as well as 3 hot springs within 20 miles and the Great Sand Dunes.

Camp anywhere on 60 acres. In one direction there are rolling meadow. Another rocky outcropping. Look to the south and you’ll see the BLM land that shares my fence line. If you want access to town you’re there. You choose how you want to feel. In the woods, in the forest, on huge rocks, flat land or turn around and see CR 1 ( 1/4 mile driveway). Forty five minutes west of Colorado Springs, ten miles to Divide for grocers. One half mile to ice, gas, pizza etc. It is first come first serve with the sites. Two that are near trees for large RVs. One up higher works for pull thru trailers. Plenty of room in the pasture. I just got my first negative review referring to it being dry prairie land. Some pictures are from late last summer.. We haven’t had enough rain yet for it to green up. Also it can be windy.

Camping near Salida guide

Overview

A classic Colorado mountain town, Salida welcomes you to play outside at 7,000 feet. Soak in the hot springs, test your fly fishing skills on the Arkansas River, or make a splash whitewater rafting. Around Salida, RV parks are a popular summer camping option, with most hugging the river banks along Highway 50. If they're all filled up, more parks await a few miles away in Buena Vista and Poncha Springs. Rather make camp in the Colorado wilderness? Wake up to mountain views in San Isabel National Forest. Many forest service campgrounds have all the trimmings—Picnic tables, fire grates, tent pads, etc. You can find both RV and tent camping at O'Haver Lake—a weekend favorite in the national forest. Imagine rolling out your sleeping bag under groves of aspen and ponderosa pines at 9,200 feet. Just offshore, kick back with some fishing and canoeing. (Motorized boats are a no-go on this tranquil lake.) For more fun, view old railway ruins along County Road 200. If you're craving a little more outdoor action, pitch a tent at Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area. It's one of the biggest rafting and kayaking destinations in the USA. But, fun on the Arkansas River is just the beginning. From your campground, get stoked about gold panning, rock climbing, and mountain biking.
