A Great Place to Camp on the Colorado River
A new RV resort recently opened along the Colorado River just a short drive from Rocky Mountain National Park. River Run RV Resort, part of the Sun RV Resorts organization, is the latest resort in the area to offer upscale RV sites as well as glamping wagons, Airstream rentals, and fully furnished vacation rentals.
Introducing River Run RV Resort in Granby, CO
River Run RV Resort first opened to visitors last year and they are still adding finishing touches around the property. Spacious pull-throughs with full hookups are now available seasonally (depending on the weather) for RVs of all types and sizes.
According to a recent visitor on RV LIFE Campgrounds,
“Very nice and very close to Rocky NP and also Winter Park is just a short drive. We really enjoyed ourselves. There is a great Dog Park across the street. We camped at River Run RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.”
Winter visitors can still enjoy the resort in their well-equipped vacation rentals, with options ranging from Arrowhead cabins with a king-size bed, to the Foxtail studio with an extra loft, and Bearclaw cabins with a full kitchen and two bedrooms. Villas are available as well for those looking to live in the community long-term. In addition to their Conestoga wagons and Airstream rentals, they will also be adding adventure tents and yurts to their rental options soon.

My wife and I visited River Run last month, but didn’t stay. It may have luxury amenities, but you pay a luxury rate to use them–$92/night when we were there in August 2020. I wouldn’t pay a nightly rate like that if it were Hilton Head or Newport Beach, but definitely not in Granby, Colorado. I spent 3 months working in Granby, and it is not even comparable to Estes Park or Durango, much less Telluride or Aspen. I’ll just continue staying at the USFS Stillwater campground right on the shore of Lake Granby for 1/5 that rate, thank you very much.
Looks like a drive in Theater with a pool.
