Sweetwater River Resort is located right on the Arkansas River, 30 minutes from Canyon City and 30 minutes from Salida where Hwy 50 follows the river through Bighorn Canyon. Skiers, we are only 40 miles from Monarch Ski Resort. Sweetwater River Resort is the perfect getaway for anglers, hikers, rafters or nature-lovers. You’ll find uncrowded sites to unwind on our private 1/2 mile stretch of the Arkansas. At night you’ll find the clearest skies around, perfect for stargazing. Experience a range of accommodations at Sweetwater River Resort, from budget-friendly cabins to glamping tents to old-timey cabins and RV sites. For larger groups, we offer a spacious house overlooking the Arkansas River, all just a short distance from the river itself. Sweetwater is a short drive from 45 miles of 4x4 and ATV trails at Texas Creek, the Arkansas Headwaters Hiking Area, Vallie Bridge, Loma Linda, Lone Pine, Hayden Creek, Royal Gorge and Rainbow Trail near Westcliffe. It's the perfect base for river rafting trips throughout the season as well as a private stretch of blue-ribbon water for trout fishing. Come stay with us and experience all that Sweetwater River Resort has to offer!

Pioneer Cabin #2
Needs work, good at $60 per night but not at current rate. Heat is lacking at 25 degrees. Recommend a new door to stop drafts and 4 to 8 legged friends from entering....

Great site we had a spot by the river. Staff were fantastic and helpful. Hot showers available and WiFi was great and seemed to work everywhere. Strongly recommend

Pioneer Cabin #2
Last minute reservation, nice cabin by Arkansas river. Older place, but it has everything needed for a day way from the city.

Pioneer Cabin #2
We had a very hard time sleeping in this cabin. There was rat poop throughout the cabin and the sheets had stains on them. The door to the cabin had a tiny sliding lock that would do very little to keep someone out if they tried to get in. However, the river out front is beautiful. If cleanliness doesn’t not bother you I would recommend but if you care about having a clean and safe place to sleep I wouldn’t recommend these cabins.

Riverside and a campfire was all we hoped for. Great quiet spot after dark and it was nice to go flyfishing right next to the site. We'll be back again!
