Mountain View RV Resort
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.

This RV Resort is very nice. Sue, at the front desk is professional, friendly, informative, and pleasant to deal with. Red, the person that helps you to your site was friendly, and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and had a perfect premium plus site. The resort is clean and well maintained. Though we did not have a need for the bath house or laundry. I did go in them, and they too were clean and well maintained. I did not play basketball though there is a court, and I did not play corn hole though it is available. I did however play horseshoes, at the horseshoe pit, and old school game that is still a lot of fun. This resort is a great little place to stay, and have no problems recommending this Mountain View RV Resort.

Unfortunately never got the chance to actually stay. We were on our way to another destination and were going to do a one-night stay here in between. My husband booked it and the day of our drive up, we knew we'd be a bit later and wanted to just give a heads up and get information on how to navigate the site a bit later (9 pm). So, we made a call to the site and the person on the other end told us that no, we could not come later, as they close and lock the gates at 5 pm. And also laughed when my husband was surprised he hadn't seen that in the booking itself and basically offered no solution or help in where we might stay otherwise. We were dumbfounded that he said that "you could leave after 5, but you can't get back in." Imagine if a guest went to grab grocery items or have a meal and came back to locked gate at 5 pm! I'm sorry, I have a personal policy not to leave poor reviews because everyone has bad days, but I found this truly confusing and frustrating, as we also had our 2 and 4-year-old children, and it left us with no place to stay at that moment! Thankfully, we could find a very nice spot at Lake Pueblo State Park last-minute that happily took our money and allowed us entry (and exit if needed) after 5:00 pm! They're policy apparently states that arrivals 30 minutes after sunset (9pm for early summer or 8pm around labor day), would not be allowed in the park. We had stated that we should arrive around (likely before) 9pm- still no allowance whatsoever. Would not recommend this place. Unfortunate! Looking at other poor reviews, I know the responder will rant about how we should have read the rules and policy. I don't fully disagree on that point, however, it should be in any listing as well. They will likely say they "offered to let us drydock outside the campground", which was nothing more than them saying "you can park in our parking outside the gates". Realistically, we'd have been getting there still in right at or just before the stated time with small children, but no. And apparently according to reviews, small children aren't welcome either, so I guess that makes no difference to them. So we'd have been paying the site fee to sit out in a parking lot with our small kids because they didn't feel it was allowable to let us in likely before their own stated cutoff time! It very much felt like this was something they do often, which made it feel even more odd as it's clear from reviews that others have had the same issue, making it feel even a bit "scammy". Moreover, the sarcastic, bad attitude of the person on the phone was completely unnecessary and simply translates to poor service. READ THE RULES and find print. Apparently, we didn't, and it bit us in the end, however, the rules seem over-the-top and outlandish for RV travelers.

Very quiet and laid back park. Big pull thru sites. Full hookups. Level gravel sites. Beautiful location for great sunset views and the snow capped mountains in the distance. Will definitely stay here again when coming thru. At&t and T-Mobile work here. We don't have a Verizon phone, so can't tell you if it works or not. Red guided us to our spot. Nice and clean park. It also has a gate that stays shut but you have a code to get in. Felt very safe.

This RVPark is one of our favorite for the location and quiet setting. The Mountain View name is appropriate as the views are spectacular. We love to watch the hoses and dogs in the adjoining yard. Plenty of hiking trails and outdoor activities to keep you busy. Looking forward to our 2 months here this spring/summer.

I will start with the good before the bad 1. The campground is in a beautiful area 2. Very clean and well maintained Now for the bad, when we arrived we parked next to a HUGE bump that we didn't see and there were no signs saying bump. We followed the owner behind his golf cart to our cabin and went over the bump at 3 miles per hour and it cracked our muffler in half. When I spoke to Paul he said if you went 5 miles per hour that wouldn't have happened. So we got blamed for their terrible bump. Also in the cabin it says if you take the key there will be a 5 dollar charge. We wanted to keep the key for memories so we left 10 dollars in the cabin for them. We then get a phone call after we checked out saying he is charging us 20 dollars for the key. We said we left 10 dollars and the sign said 5. He said it costs .ore than that.. we wouldn't have taken the key if we knew it was 20 bucks. He then hung up on us after we told him look we didn't complain about the bump and even left extra and he continued to charge us the 20 bucks. You pay almost 10 bucks for 5 slices of wood and the store hours is posted 10 a.m. but I went to talk to them at 10:15 and the office was still closed and he got upset when I saw him working in the office and knocked on the door. This was our first campspot experience and was disappointed. We will be back in the area but will not be choosing Mountain view for our stay.
