Sweetwater River Resort in Cotopaxi, CO, offers 11 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites, 4 cabins, 6 tent sites, and 1 glamping site, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, pull-thru 30-amp and pull-thru 50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. Every site is a pull-thru, so nothing needs unhitching. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The resort occupies 31 private acres along a half-mile of the Arkansas River, with a fishing pier, boat docks, and walking trails right on the water. Fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and birding fill the days, and off-road riding is close by. Cotopaxi sits on US Highway 50 at milepost 250 and a half, exactly halfway between Cañon City and Salida in western Fremont County, where the river cuts through Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Rates for sites, cabins, tent spots, and the glamping site are on the booking page. Rafting season on this stretch of the Arkansas runs busy — reserve ahead for summer.

Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park

14 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Four Seasons River Inn & RV Park in Delta, CO, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites and 4 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. The park publishes both back-in and pull-thru site categories, each carrying water, sewer, and electric; confirm which layout you're booking when you reserve. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, propane fills, and RV storage cover the practical side, with cabins available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. River frontage and walking trails make up the on-site recreation, and the campground works as a full-service base rather than a destination in itself. Delta sits at the confluence of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre rivers in western Colorado, within reach of Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Grand Mesa, the Million Dollar Highway, OHV trails, rafting, and skiing — and there's still a drive-in theater in town. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Ask about RV storage if you're basing here for a season.
