Arkansas River Rim Campground

I came through here on a trip and stopped to talk with the owner, Jeff. The man is a stand up gentleman born n raised in Colorado. The facilities are some of the best Ive seen along this drive. Hes got a nice pull in and the spots are level with most of them offering shade, electrical and septic. This facility backs up to the Arkansas river which just brings it closer to my heart back home. The views are wide and stunning. Make sure to say hello to Jeffs little fuzzy sidekick, Burt. The location is perfectly nestled between Twin Lakes and Buena Vista. Whether youre here for a night or for the week, theres plenty to access from this campground.

Jeff the owner is a fantastic person,his details to keeping it clean and safe.we’ve been going there 2 to 3 times a year.never ever had an attitude towards the people. If you think he has an attitude maybe you should look how you address him. He has a lot to take care of on his own. Great place will never go elsewhere.

I don’t like leaving negative reviews but in fairness to the paying customers, I think it’s important to be honest and accurate. This is a good location with level sites and good hook-up from what I could see, depending what your expectations are. The host was pleasant, professional and assisted when and where needed. Overall though, the campground facilities were a little run down and in need of some TLC. Rustic is the best way to describe it. The location has some old wooden steps leading to the river providing access. Road noise may be an issue for some, especially with the occasional truck using their “Jake Brake.” The price was reasonable compared to other campgrounds. Minimal WIFI apparently and cannot be used for streaming. Cell service was reasonable to good for ATT (it fluctuates)

Great place, and very well priced. Bathrooms are well kept and the showers were hot. Found some gold in the river and caught a very nice trout. We were very happy with our site and the campground as a whole.

Jeff is an excellent host! Everyone is friendly and public areas are clean. Perfect for our short stay!
