Visitors are greeted by a secluded atmosphere that highlights the natural beauty of the San Luis Valley, making it a premier choice for travelers seeking private river access and unobstructed mountain views.
Location & Surroundings
Located just outside the historic town of Antonito, the park sits at an elevation that provides cool summer evenings and crisp mountain air. The surrounding landscape is a stunning mix of lush river bottoms and rugged canyon walls. Being situated near the Rio Grande National Forest, the park serves as a gateway to the southern Rockies. Guests can enjoy the striking contrast of the San Luis Valley floor against the rising peaks of the San Juan Mountains that dominate the western horizon.

The park provides essential comforts designed to support a long-term stay or a quick weekend getaway. Guests have access to spacious full hookup sites that accommodate various rig sizes comfortably. The property is meticulously maintained, offering a clean bathhouse and convenient laundry facilities for guest use.

It combines the ruggedness of Colorado camping with the convenience of on-site amenities.

A must-see is the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which departs from nearby Antonito and offers a breathtaking journey through the San Juan Mountains on a coal-fired steam engine.

We arrived to see our names on a white board with our site and all the info you needed! The sites were spaciously placed with full hookups. . Laundry and bathroom easily accessible! Al, the owner came to greet us and was such a warm funny guy, who wasn’t in any hurry and shared an adult beverage! All the other campers were repeat customers who all looked forward to returning! We can’t wait to retuen!!

This is the most peaceful and serene place we have visited. It is not the typical RV park. Not only are the spaces huge but the surrounding forest makes it feel like camping in the woods. And if you like fishing that’s a bonus because it’s right on the river. The owner is super nice. And as a bonus, his son has a mobile restaurant that serves the campground several times a week. Make sure to try his entrees. They are all delicious (check out the baby back ribs)!

We spent 7 days at Canon Bonito RV Park and had the best time ever! The park itself is absolutely stunning but the people who run the park are so nice. Its family owned and they work their butts off to keep it beautiful. Its so refreshing to see a family work together, it restores your faith in humanity. Talking to Al is like talking to family, he is the nicest man ever. He always has a positive and friendly attitude and is willing to accommodate for anything. There are laidback campsite dogs who live there and are free to roam and visit the campsites. We found they were good company for our dogs. Speaking of which, our dogs had the best vacation ever, there is plenty of room for them to run and play and swim in the river. We will definitely be back next year. Jack and Pandy

Beautiful location that is peacefully separated but very convenient to town. Adjacent to the Conejos River and you can book private stretches for fly fishing. Huge cottonwood trees throughout the property, with a great mix of sun and shade. Level lots amidst natural surroundings. Very friendly owner/manager. Will definitely book again!
