Chalk Creek Campground & RV Park

How does a campground combine the serenity of creekside camping with breathtaking mountain views? Chalk Creek Campground & RV Park in Nathrop, Colorado, masterfully balances these elements, offering a peaceful retreat with direct access to pristine natural beauty and diverse camping options.

This well-maintained campground is uniquely divided into two sections: a forested lower area providing shaded, creekside sites perfect for tents and smaller RVs, and an upper level with gravel full-hookup sites catering to larger RVs and providing expansive mountain vistas. Amenities include a modern bathhouse with heated floors, coin-operated laundry, a dump station, water fills, and propane services. Guests can also enjoy a quaint gift shop and a seating area in the main office. Additionally, the proximity to Chalk Creek itself adds a soothing, natural soundtrack for campers on the lower grounds.

Situated just a short drive from Buena Vista and Salida, the campground is a gateway to outdoor adventures. Nearby attractions include Mount Princeton Hot Springs, the historic St. Elmo ghost town, and excellent fishing, hiking, and rafting opportunities. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, Chalk Creek Campground offers an ideal blend of comfort and outdoor exploration.
