We spent a couple of weeks at the Big Horn RV camp in Coaldale Colorado. The owners Doug and Judy were two of the nicest camp hosts we have run across. They checked every day to see if we needed everything or just chat. They did everything they could to ensure we had a nice stay. The park is very nice and right on the Arkansas river. Two towns are close by. Salida and Canon City. Both within 20-40 minutes. The park is very well kept with both cabins and cabins without bathrooms. if you are looking for some peace and quiet this is the place. Would rate this park very highly
