Cripple Creek Hospitality House & Travel Park
Overview
Located in a historic gold-mining town, the Cripple Creek Hospitality House & Travel Park offers a unique blend of turn-of-the-century charm and modern RV convenience. This destination is anchored by a majestic historic building, originally constructed as a hospital in 1901, which now serves as the park’s central hub and lodging facility. Guests can expect a quiet, high-altitude experience that prioritizes easy access to local history and the rugged beauty of the Colorado mountains. It is a peaceful alternative for those who want to be close to the action without staying in the middle of the bustle.

Perched at an elevation of nearly 9,500 feet, the park provides a refreshing mountain atmosphere with stunning views of the surrounding Pikes Peak region. It is situated just on the western edge of the historic district, offering a peaceful retreat that remains within a very short distance of the town's vibrant main street and entertainment. The surrounding terrain is characterized by rolling hills, evergreen forests, and the high-country landscape unique to Teller County, making it a scenic spot for morning walks and evening sunsets.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV park features several sites including full hookup connections and pull-through options designed to accommodate a variety of trailer and motorhome sizes. Inside the historic hospitality house, travelers have access to well-maintained facilities such as clean restrooms, private showers, and on-site laundry services. The park is valued for its functional layout and level gravel pads, making it a reliable and comfortable basecamp for those who prefer a quiet, historic atmosphere over a busy, modern resort. The historic building itself provides a sense of character rarely found in typical RV parks.

My wife and I wanted a quiet place to stay from the noise of Cripple Creek and found this charming place. There is so much history here it's unreal. A beautiful, charming romantic QUIET place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming again. It was my wife's birthday on the day we arrived and the hostess, who greeted us with a warm smile, wished her a happy birthday. After coming back from a night out we found cookies, which were delicious and a birthday card from the staff. Made us feel very welcome and invited. Breakfast was a burrito stuffed with eggs, sausage, cheese and potatoes. Man it was good!! Plus yogurt, juice, coffee and a huge cinnamon roll. All in all, very happy with our stay.

A very unique property with interesting history and educational setup. I was curious about rumors of the place being haunted, but my wife, me and our two kids did not experience anything. Very quiet property with cool amenities and experiences. Service was fantastic from greeting to breakfast and farewell the following morning.

This place was a gem! My kids, ages 8 and 11, were fascinated with the history and antiques. We only stayed one night as we passed through Cripple Creek. The rooms were clean and breakfast was delicious. The lady working was very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is amazing. First off, very affordable. From there... antiques galore, historic building, wild donkeys visit the property on occasion (see photo), excellent staff, comfortable and quiet rooms, good coffee and breakfast. Make sure you give yourself time to just hang out on the porch for a bit.

Easy to see why this is the top rated hotel in Cripple Creek - it was a quality experience from start to finish. Mike and Rachel are the perfect hosts, the facility is historically fascinating and very well taken care of, our room (Physician) was immaculate, just can't say enough good things about this place. And let's not forget Liz in the breakfast truck, she was awesome! We live close by in Canon City, and we've already decided to make this place a regular part of our summer adventures.......

If I could give this place 15 stars, I would. It’s a 1901 hospital that’s been converted to an unusual B&B. The entire place is full of antiques from the early 1900’s, including some medical equipment from that period. Super super cool!! 20 years from now, you’ll never remember that Holiday Inn Express you stayed at, but you’ll definitely remember this place!

Great place! The owners are just great people, since they saw the value of such a beautiful historical building, renovated it and also allowed other people to see this beauty. Incredible! Immersion in another century! The rooms are clean, the hotel itself is clean. There are wonderful places to relax inside on the veranda. It was so nice when on Monday one of the employees, a lady laid breakfast for us and put very tasty buns (danish roll) with cinnamon. We really liked all the receptionists, everyone was polite, responsive, always tried to help. Really liked the girl who met us upon check-in. The nature in Colorado is very beautiful! This place is quiet, helps to relax. Very fresh air. Thank you very much, dear staff and owners of the Cripple Creek Hotel. Sincerely, Alexander and Elena

My husband and I recently had a little getaway at the Hospitality House and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE there was amazing. Great customer service and the feeling of making you feel at home in this beautiful historic place. We 💯 would recommend this place to anyone wanting to just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

A very interesting place to stay. It used to be a hospital back in the day. Being in the medical field I found this to be quite interesting, there was also a lot of old wheel chairs and equipment from back in the day. All the rooms are unique from each other and had medical theme. We were in Recovery. The staff are very nice and friendly. They explained important things about our stay. Our stay included a $7 credit per person per night for breakfast at Doc's. We had the breakfast burrito. There is a small gift shop by check-in. If you are a light sleeper, you may need to bring a eye mask and earplugs. There is a stained glass window above the door to your room so the light from the hall gets into the room so it may not be dark enough. Also the fan in the bathroom is super loud and you can hear it from another room. I could also hear someone loudly snoring, and when people were walking up and down the stairs. The room was initially a bit cold, but then got quite warm. You might want to call directly and have them help you pick a room that may be a better fit (like away from the staircase, etc), from my interaction at check-in I feel like they wouldn't mind helping you pick specific room.
