Colorado Fly Fishing RV Campgrounds
I'd like to get some recommendations for a destination RV campground/resort that has stream/river/creek/lake fly fishing access. We prefer the eastern side of Colorado as I am hesitant about driving ...

What time of year??
If you're looking for some time next year, spring/summer, then consider the Upper Arkansas River Valley, from Pueblo to Leadville. The drive from Pueblo on US 50 is not difficult, parallels the river and meets up with US 285 in the Salida/Poncha Springs area. From that point north to Leadville has some world class fishing there, and there's a variety of resorts in the area, some right along the river.
Some of the members here are in the Buena Vista/Salida area, hopefully they can give you more first hand info. I can only speak for my own trips over there, as a non-fisherman.
Other considerations further north, would be the Big Thompson Canyon between Loveland and Estes Park as well as the Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins. Campgrounds in Estes, or on the west side of Loveland (Riverview CG). Campgrounds up the Poudre are a bit more scarce as far as resorts, but there are several USFS CG that have electric connections.
