Glenwood Springs, CO

[mikefos]

Howdy,
Rearranging our planned New Mexico stays in first half of August to hopefully Glenwood Springs, CO area, due to NM quarantine business for out of state travelers now in effect. Any suggestions for full hookup parks around Glenwood Springs?
Thanks,
Mike

You might look in Rifle SP maybe 1/2 hour from Glenwood Springs.

You must be referring to the KOA in Silt. It's about 10 miles west of GWS. There is no KOA in GWS.

The Carbondale KOA is great - BUT no FHUs that I am aware of. We had a riverside site, which may have made the difference (it was water & electric only). Dump station is tricky to use. But we loved the place!

Obviously I haven't stayed at any of them, but some observations:

Ami's Acres overlooks the interstate so may be noisy.

Glenwood Canyon Resort has a nice setting. A little pricey and fills often.

Down by Carbondale is a KOA. Really nice setting on the river. Near great drives up to Marble or Maroon Bells. Fills often.

Past the KOA on CO 133 is a NFS CG. Redstone CG has some sites with water and electric but no sewer. I believe they have showers there too (unusual for NFS CG's here in CO). Pretty full, but keep an eye on Recreation.gov and you can often pick up a spot as people's plans change and they cancel reservations.

One often overlooked option is Gateway RV park by Carbondale. A few FHU sites. Owned and run by the city of Carbondale. Worth checking out to see if they have any spots. Right near the intersection of CO 82 and CO 133 but below grade so reasonably quiet. Right on the paved Rio Grande Trail, a converted rail grade for walking or biking.
