Overview
Mountain View RV Resort offers a scenic and spacious home base for exploring the rugged beauty of southern Colorado. Situated just outside of Cañon City, this resort is designed to provide travelers with breathtaking panoramas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It balances the natural splendor of the high desert with the modern comforts expected of a premium facility. Whether you are passing through or staying for an extended vacation, the park provides a clean, professional environment for all types of RV enthusiasts looking for a peaceful retreat.
Location & Surroundings
The resort is conveniently located along Highway 50, providing easy access for travelers while remaining far enough from the hustle of town to feel tranquil. The surrounding landscape features rolling foothills and dramatic peaks that define the Colorado Rockies. Guests can enjoy unobstructed sunset views from their sites, making the most of the region's famous clear skies. Its proximity to the Arkansas River valley means visitors are never far from world-class outdoor recreation and historic landmarks that highlight the area's rich mining and ranching history.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility is built with big rigs in mind, offering wide, level pull-through sites and full hookups at every location. Guests have access to high-quality amenities, including climate-controlled private showers, a modern laundry facility, and a welcoming clubhouse for social gatherings. For those traveling with four-legged companions, the dedicated fenced dog park provides a safe space for exercise. The park also emphasizes a sense of community with outdoor seating areas and communal fire pits where travelers can relax under the stars after a day of adventure.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The resort’s primary draw is its proximity to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, located just minutes away. Outdoor lovers can engage in adrenaline-pumping whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River or hike the scenic trails at Red Canyon Park. For a more relaxed afternoon, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad offers historic tours through the depths of the canyon. History buffs will also appreciate exploring downtown Cañon City’s local boutiques and restaurants, which are only a short drive from the resort entrance.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for big-rig owners looking for easy navigation and reliable, high-amperage utilities. Its tranquil atmosphere and high-end feel make it a favorite for retirees and couples seeking a quiet mountain retreat. However, the playground and open spaces also make it a welcoming environment for active families who want a comfortable base camp for exploring Colorado’s famous natural wonders. It is perfect for those who prioritize scenery and cleanliness over a rustic or primitive camping experience.

The Good: the staff was great! Ready to help, great attitude. We had shade at our site so that was great. Nice hookups. Nice cement pads. Nice fire pits. Level site. Nice hookups. The Bad: absolutely terrible internet, even the staff couldn't get it to work for us and two other campers with us. EXTREME road noise from Hwy 50...all day and night!!! The residents that live next to the campground have two dogs that bark all the time. That same neighbor has three horses, and they left the smelly horse droppings the entire 4 days of our stay. The dumpster is in the center of the park for convenience, but the days we were there it really stunk. Our water pressure was bad...barely enough to shower. It was so low, it didn't register on my pressure gauge.

We throughly enjoy this campground mid Sept 2025 where is was only half full thus very quiet this time of year. But what stood out was how clean and nice the grounds are! The firepits were clean, no weeds in the gravel are, clean laundry & bathrooms. Love the concrete patio and sidewalk each site had. Overall great experience, thank you!!!!

Campground was very clean. But…we will never stay here again!! Paul, the owner was very RUDE!!! Our daughter decided to stay with us and arrived later, he was extremely curt with her and patronizing . He added charges without consulting us first…(very money hungry)!! When we asked about the charges he was very rude to us! We have been camping for over 45 years, we are not new to the normal rules of a campground- including dog leash rules and cleaning up after them. Get a life, Paul. And take some PR classes!! On the other hand, “Red” and Sue were extremely nice and helpful!

We spent a week in this region, using the RV park as our base camp. Our site, #11, was private, had a great little concrete patio and table/chairs, was immaculate and had an incredible view of the mountains. I think we had the best site! The entire park was clean, well kept and secure. Our interactions with staff were all friendly and welcoming.

This is the most well kept and beautiful rv resort that we have been to. The sites are nice, spacious. It's all gravel but mostly level. We leaned to the driver's side a little but not enough to be annoyed with. Nice little concrete patio areas for each site. They have some back in sites. Very nice people that work the resort. Thumbs up to all of you, your doing a great job. Beautiful views of the mountains. Be adventurous. You won't regret it.
