Luxury Family RV Resorts in Colorado

What makes a family RV resort a luxury family RV resort? When you hear “luxury“, do you think “fancy”? When you hear the words “family RV camping”, do you think “fancy”? No? Neither do I.

So how does a family RV resort become luxurious? Well, that really starts with changing your thinking. Luxury RV resorts don’t have marble countertops and crystal chandeliers in the RV camp spots. BUT… they might have hot tubs and private decks in the camp spots! Or they might have 4 hot tubs, 2 pools, a kiddie area, miniature golf and/or golf cart rentals at the RV resort! That’s fancy camping, or Glamping!

In order for a luxury family RV resort to make it to my list they need to have some of the following:

• Pool/hot tub
• Golf cart rentals or the ability to bring your own
• Full activities in the summer and/or adventure packages
• Bicycle rentals
• Jumping pillow/climbing wall/bounce house/playground (something awesome for kids)
• Miniature golf
• Cafe/snack bar
• Ice cream/pizza parlor
• Full restaurant
• Large RV parking 40ft+
• A variety of lodgings… RV spots, Cabins, Wagons and/or Glamping Tents

Luxury Family RV Resorts in Colorado

There are several luxury family RV resorts in Colorado. We’ve even stayed at a few. Most of these are expensive. I know camping isn’t as cheap anymore (neither are eggs) but if you don’t mind spending the extra money for a bit of luxury, then these might be for you.

Mountain Views RV Resort

Mountain View RV Resort is nestled in the San Juan Mountains on the Rio Grande near Creede. They have luxury amenities and exciting outdoor adventures.

Mountain Views is a growing RV resort. Right now they offer RV camping and lodging with a ton of amenities. Soon they’ll offer a food court and miniature golf. You can stay there in an RV camping spot, cabin rental or buy a lot on the river. WHAT?! Yes you can buy a lot on the river and it’s yours to come and go as you please. Or you can build a cute cabin on that lot.

Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain

Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain is the Country Club of RV Resorts, but without the membership fee. This place is huge. I believe it was previously known as River Run RV Resort. Then Sun Outdoors got a hold of it and added to it.
