Royal Gorge Park East Ridge Campground

Joanna Diaz

$20 a night. We decided to camp last minute and needed a campground. We lucked out with there still being space available. Although you can drive around the lot and claim a spot if available, I highly recommend booking in advance of going during a busier season or on a weekend. Very well maintained and clean bathrooms. Nice trails to catch the sunrise/set.

Great spot! Plenty of space between sites. Lots of hiking trails right from the party station. The attendant was very nice and very helpful. It was pretty windy while I was there but other than wind it was perfect beautiful conditions.

This was such an unexpectedly wonderful find! We went over Memorial Day weekend and it was nearly empty and fantastic weather. It is a low amenity place (no water or electricity) but the spots are massive and just so well kept. The whole area is filled with fantastic bike and hike trails and incredibly easy access to Royal Gorge. The campground host was lovely and checked on us each day, telling us where to get water and neat hikes to add in. You can hang hammocks and you need to bring wood because you cannot cut it there but be prepared for amazing views in every direction.

This place is absolutely amazing I'm a solo female traveler traveling the country from South Carolina. On one side of my tent when I open the door I see the sunrise over the canyon when I open my other door on the west side I see the blue skies the white fluffy clouds the green grass mountains and trees. I hear the birds and the wind blowing as it makes its way up the canyon. It's windy so I'm not even going to try to make a fire. I've been staying at campgrounds all across the United States I think this is absolutely my favorite. ❤️ I've seen deer and a roadrunner. It's perfectly silent at night while everyone is sleeping at the same time. My tent is nestled in the trees, I'm really going to miss it.
