If you’re craving a getaway where nature does the talking and your morning coffee comes with river views, make your way to Dolores River RV Resort by Rjourney. Tucked along the scenic banks of the Dolores River in Colorado’s southwest corner, this easygoing oasis is the kind of place that makes time slow down in the best possible way.
Dolores may be a tiny mountain town, but this resort delivers big when it comes to charm, relaxation, and a front-row seat to Colorado’s wilder side. Whether you’re rolling in with your RV, cozying up in a cabin, or pitching a tent under the stars, you’ll quickly discover this is more than just a campground—it’s a nature-lover’s retreat with just enough polish to keep it comfy.
What We Love
Riverside Bliss
Let’s start with the obvious: the Dolores River. It’s not just background scenery—it’s your soundtrack. Gurgling water flows just steps from your site, perfect for lazy afternoons with a book or casting a fishing line into the current.
Comfort Meets Campfire
With both rustic cabins and well-maintained RV pads, this resort offers a solid mix of comfort and wilderness. You get the joy of crackling campfires and chirping crickets, with the bonus of clean bathrooms and hot showers.
Walkable to Small-Town Surprises
Just a short stroll (or cruiser bike ride) puts you in downtown Dolores, where local cafes, a vintage brewery, and a surprisingly cool general store await. It’s that sweet spot where you can unplug—but still grab a good latte.
Stargazing Like You’ve Never Seen
Thanks to the high elevation and low light pollution, the night skies here are spectacular. Lay back and let the Milky Way do its thing—it’s nature’s own nightly light show.
Trails Right Outside Your Door
Whether you’re a serious hiker or just want a scenic stroll, nearby trails deliver epic views without the crowds. Mesa Verde National Park is less than an hour away if you’re itching for a day trip full of cliff dwellings and ancient history.
Atmosphere & Setting
Think relaxed mountain energy meets classic riverside charm. The property itself is lush and shady in the summer, with cottonwood trees lining the riverbanks and the occasional deer wandering through at dawn. It’s quiet in the best way—chirping birds, soft wind through pine branches, and that unmistakable sound of water slipping over rocks. The vibe is unpretentious, neighborly, and wonderfully Colorado.
Value (Is It Worth It?)
Absolutely. RV and tent sites are reasonably priced, especially considering the riverside location. Cabins cost a bit more but offer a comfy upgrade for couples or small families. Whether you’re staying a weekend or stretching your trip into a week, you’ll get more than your money’s worth in tranquility alone. Great for families, outdoor-loving couples, and anyone looking to reboot their inner peace meter.
Other Considerations
Bring layers—even in summer, mornings and evenings can get crisp at this elevation. The grounds are mostly flat and accessible, though riverbanks can be uneven. Wi-Fi is available but intentionally limited—it’s a nudge to unplug and soak in the setting. You’ll find grills and picnic areas for DIY meals, but stock up on groceries before arriving or plan a meal or two in town. And yes, the fishing license is worth it!
When your soul’s been craving stillness, fresh air, and a river you can hear in your dreams, Dolores River RV Resort is a balm you didn’t know you needed. Simple, serene, and sweetly off the beaten path—this place might just become your new favorite escape.
