Moon Valley RV Resort
Overview
Moon Valley RV Resort offers a scenic retreat tucked away in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Located at a high elevation where the air is crisp and the vistas are vast, this park provides a welcoming home base for those looking to explore the rugged beauty of Southern Colorado. It balances the comforts of a modern RV resort with the peaceful ambiance of a mountain campground. Whether you are arriving for the summer fishing season or the vibrant fall foliage, the park serves as a primary gateway to the vast Rio Grande National Forest.
Location & Surroundings
The resort is situated in South Fork, Colorado, a charming mountain town located at the junction of the Rio Grande and South Fork rivers. Surrounded by millions of acres of protected forest land, the park offers immediate access to alpine landscapes and diverse local wildlife. The location is particularly notable for being near the starting point of the Silver Thread Scenic Byway, which winds through historic mining towns and dramatic canyons. The sounds of the nearby river and the wind through the pines create a tranquil environment far removed from urban congestion.
Amenities & Park Features
Travelers will find well-maintained facilities designed for a comfortable long-term or short-term stay. The park offers spacious sites with full hookups and options for 30 or 50-amp service. Many sites are designed as pull-throughs to accommodate larger rigs, while others are positioned to provide excellent views of the surrounding peaks. On-site amenities include a clean bathhouse, laundry facilities, and a clubhouse for social gatherings. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of high-speed WiFi and cable TV, ensuring they stay connected even while immersed in nature.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activities within a short drive of the resort. The nearby Rio Grande River is a premier destination for Gold Medal trout fishing and seasonal rafting. For those who prefer land-based adventures, the surrounding forest is crisscrossed with hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV riding. A short scenic drive leads to the stunning vistas of Wolf Creek Pass or the historic underground mining tours in Creede. Additionally, the unique landscapes of the Great Sand Dunes National Park are within driving distance for a memorable day trip.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for adventure-seeking families and retirees looking for a cool summer mountain escape. Its quiet atmosphere and proximity to the water make it a top choice for anglers and nature photographers. Because of the big-rig friendly layouts, it is also a reliable stop for those traveling in large motorhomes who do not want to sacrifice modern utilities while exploring the Colorado wilderness. If you value a blend of mountain scenery and dependable resort amenities, this location fits your travel style perfectly.

This RV park has been around a long time. Facilities are well-used, but clean and functional. Water supply reliable but smelled of high iron content. Nightly cost here is very reasonable. Although not far from the highway, the park is nestled back against some cliffs & forested area – the feeling here is much better than the huge “parking lot” RV park just down the road. Possible to hike into the cliff/forest area behind the park, also a number of hiking opportunities not far from the park. About 70% of sites occupied by seasonal guests, we seemed to be the only short-term guests during the entire weekend we were there (mid-July). The seasonal guests are all very friendly and nice – we were invited to a pot-luck dinner at the campground clubhouse the night we arrived, it was fun getting to know the other guests and we enjoyed some good food. Most nights a group played table games in the clubhouse as well. Many of the guests have multiple hummingbird feeders out, the number of hummingbirds around the campground was amazing. WiFi worked poorly – not able to connect at times, at other times could connect but no internet access, but occasionally it worked (slowly). Making a reservation is very old-school: Call and leave a message, you will likely receive a call back the next morning. Mail a check for the deposit, then pay the balance by check or cash after you arrive. Office is infrequently staffed but everyone at the campground knows the manager who also lives on-site. All-in-all we enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely stay again.

We went horseback riding as a family of 17. They had to take us in two separate trips as we were too big. Everyone had a real good time and I highly recommend it. We had first timers with us did fine. We go into the hills, but it's not bad.

Because of the dumb Dan chap who’s giving false information….. this place is quaint and great and most importantly OPEN. I know ppl who stay there yearly. I am about to visit myself. Mostly older folks owners are very kind. Great place to relax.

Not really a "resort" but we really enjoyed it. Quiet, nice people. They only take checks or cash. We were passing through, one night only. Would love to go back!
