Campground Review: Mt Princeton RV Park, Buena Vista, CO

Mt Princeton RV Park sits at the North edge of Buena Vista, CO; very close to, but not on, the Arkansas River. Nice views of the mountains that surround the valley. The railroad tracks just outside the park's fence are no longer in use. The park is a block off busy highway 24, which quiets down every night.

67 full hook up RV sites, 3 cabins for rent. Roads and sites are gravel; each site has a picnic table and BBQ. We had a pull through site (#C6) with a nice patch of grass, young tree, and fence separating us from the neighbors. Sections A, B and C seemed to be the newest and had more separation between sites than sections D and E (which had larger shade trees).

Amenities include laundry, restrooms/showers, playground and 3G wifi. Less than two miles to any services you need in town. Both our Verizon wifi and the parks wifi were pretty slow during much of our stay.

The park was full every weekend during our stay and had a handful of sites available during the week days. This is a well run park and we would be happy to stay here again.

Site #C6

To the West are the Collegiate Peaks.
One morning a couple of bucks walked through the RV park, he's in front of a rental cabin.

    Looks like a nice park and I'm hoping after our two month trip this year, my traveling companions will be receptive to longer trips so we can hang around an area for a couple of weeks. I'm really enjoying your travels and the great scenery shots you're posting.

      Thanks so much for reading Big Dude! We really like staying somewhere for at least a week so we don't feel rushed.

    Nice velvet on the buck's antlers. Your views were great, too.

    Beautiful park - sometimes you have to sacrifice the view for WiFi! Love the photo of the deer...

    hi, just saw your blog, my husband and I just started full timing last year, I guess I can pick up lots of pointers from you. We would like to winter near San Diego and Santee Lakes looks just wonderful. My blog is joelandesta.blogspot.com hit n the road, hope you can give me some pointers about this new lifestyle.
