This is the closest park service campground to Salida which makes it super sweet!…read more I reserved site 21 online, which was like $28/night. However, if you just show up, other sites that are available are only $18/night. I wish I would have waited to reserve, but at least you can drive here and know by reserving early that you have a place to sleep! You also need to pay a daily state park fee, unless you have a yearly pass. (this is in addition to the campground fee) Our site was right on the river, and even though this campground is right off the main road into town or into Big Horn Sheep Canyon, when the sun sets, you will not really hear the cars and trucks going by due to the sounds of the river. It was very high when we visited. At night, depending on your site, and if you are in a tent or camper, you may see a bright light shining from a business across the street. Not to worry, as you will still be able to see a night sky of amazingly beautiful stars! It was cool to be hanging out after a long day and see people rafting down the river. The sites are pretty open, and there are only a few with shade. However, there is plenty of parking, and most people were pretty respectful. There are people camping out on the other side of the river, which was a little sketchy and strange. They didn't do anything weird when we were there, but it was a little uncomfortable. However, since I had my dog, and there were other campers nearby, I felt safe. The one recommendation I have is that they use sand or dirt trucked in for their tent pad areas. They currently have gravel! Gravel is useless with a tent, as my tent stakes could not find secure footing in the ground. I then tried to pitch the tent next to the tent pad area in the dirt, and the dirt was rock solid! I then realized why there were so many large stones in the tent pad area. I used these to help my tent stay grounded and upright for the two days and nights we were there. (When we were there, there was a truck coming into the campground area in the morning and dropping off dirt in a big gully. ) The port-a-pots were the cleanest I have ever seen!

Inconvenient, but serviceable. We had campsite 24 - which…read moreis close enough to hear the river, but not close enough to drown out the constant sound of cars passing on highway 50. The tent pad barely fit our 6 person tent, so keep that in mind if you're camping with family or friends. When the wind blows in from the west, you'll get to enjoy the sickly sweet smell of pit potties. But the biggest problem was the wind. I suspect it's not always this windy, but it was like trying to camp in a wind tunnel. And getting a fire started was a challenge which took three adults blocking the wind just to get it started. Also, we were very concerned about how close the burn pit was to the local plants. There are already several wildfires blazing in CO as I write this, and we didn't want to be the cause of another. This meant we had to extra diligent in watching our fire. A situation that was helped by the fact that the grill grate would lay right on top of the foliage if you let go of it. So if you are just needing a place to sleep, this will work. But if you want a pleasant camping experience, I recommend you look at Hecla Junction Campground or O'Haver Lake Campground

Bighorn Park in Coaldale, CO was a great place to stay. It has RV accommodations and hookups,…read moremotel and cabins. There is also a separate showering space adjacent to the RV park. We stayed in a cabin, friends were in the motel, and RV park. All within close proximity so we could walk to each others site. While very rustic, they were very clean. Cabin was complete with two separate bedrooms, a kitchen (including all utensils and coffee pot), bathroom and living space. Incuded was shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish soap, coffee, dish rags, kitchen towels, bath towels, wash rags and a swamp cooler for air conditioning. It even had a crock pot as well as your basic pots and pans. Full sized refrigerator with freezer. Stove and oven. The motel rooms were about the same, less the separate bedrooms, kitchen and living space. It also has an outdoor pool and a commons area. The owners, Aaron and Brenda, couldn't have been any nicer or more accommodating. It is right off the highway, easy to find. A stream runs through the back of the property offering a scenic view. Would definitely stay there again.

Via e-mail, we were asked for info about our rig, and sent a link to complete a waiver. The e-mail stated a noon check-in time and had no further info about the check-in process. We provided the rig info and signed the waiver. The day before arriving in August, we were sent numerous text messages about a form, and the need to provide info about our rig. The text messages had check-in as Noon in one sentence, and check-in as 3:30 in another sentence. We called, got a nice person who spoke limited English. We were able to determine that they had received the form, but that they needed our rig information. Provided that again. She told us our site #'s, and said we would get a text with codes and check-in information. On the day of arrival, we got a text with the WIFI password and no further information. When we arrived, we could not find an office or staff. They Info on yelp states that there is a gift shop and boutique on site. That must have been when it was still owned by "Pamela". We finally saw a small sign with the instructions to just go to our site. About 1/2 hour after we arrived, a pleasant person stopped by with her infant to let us know she was the on-site manager, and to give us the code for the dumpster. She provided no further information or assistance. Sites 1-6 are COMPLETELY different than the website photos and the reviews, which were written a few years back when someone named Pamela owned and ran the property. These sites are VERY narrow. It took our friend multiple manipulations to pull in with his 5th wheel. These sites have no room for chairs or tables to sit outside. There was an old picnic table perched on the slope between sites 4 and 5. Significant literal trash at sites 1-4. A dead bird, dead vegetation, sewage pipes without caps, intense sewage smell. Very low water pressure. Unkempt weeds and sticker burr plants at our site, those next to us, and most of the places to walk the dogs. Buildings and grounds were trashy, run-down, dirty. We were traveling through for one night. We would strongly discourage others from staying here.

The pool/hot springs are split into 2 primary areas. One big area that is meant for all with a kids pool, large hot springs pool with diving boards for all to have fun, a snack bar with lots of goodies (but you can bring your own food in too if you want, which is great for families on a budget), a grassy picnic area, basketball court, and a small toddler friendly slide area as well. You can also rent cabanas. The other area is for 21+ in the greenhouse. It's fully separated from the family area and is an adult atmosphere. There is a bar, snack bar with a limited menu, dense lush greenery, and numerous hot pools of varying temps. There is also a sauna for sweating it out. We spend a lot of time here relaxing and enjoying the pool and cocktails. This is a great place to spend the day or evening. This is not a high end spa but a mid-tier budget friendly option that is well worth it. My only criticism is that the locker rooms could use some updating, but I'll still take it!
