🚨In last night's new video, we went to The Bank.
With scenic views in every direction, The Bank Campground can get busy in spring and fall. It's a nice BLM campground with 33 sites located north of Cañon City, Colorado. The road getting in is a bit rough (and steep in 1 spot), but the views are worth it. $20/night.

Riverside camping with easy access? 🤔 Rincon Campground offers just that, nestled between the Arkansas River and US Hwy 50 with 8 reservable sites. Heads up, though: being that close to the highway, tent campers along the river might find it a bit noisy at night. Check out our video tour to weigh the pros and cons for your trip! https://youtu.be/abt4_LYRHWI

Thinking about camping near Salida? ⛰️⛺️ We revisited Salida East Campground for a one-night stay and have a new 2025 video tour ready for you. When we first recorded Salida East Campground in 2017, it was nearly impossible to see where one campsite ended and the next began. Recent improvements have made a real difference with the layout. It could still use more trees. Check out our new 2025 video tour: https://youtu.be/Ka5nuYrAPoo
