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. Come stay with us and experience all that Sweetwater River Resort has to offer!

Deluxe Cabin 2
A NOT SO DELUXE PLACE!
We not recommend this place. We were so disappointed that even though we had paid for two nights (and management refused to refund the second night) we checked out early after one night. Deluxe Cabin 2 was NOT clean. The floor in the bathroom - which by the way has NO sink - was "sticky". My wife would not let me walk in the bathroom without my shoes on. Two of the three burners on the stove did not work. The window frames were not secure. The handle on the refrigerator was loose. Placemats were old and very dirty. There was no bar of soap in the bathroom and when we inquired of the front desk they were happy to provide us with TWO of the smallest bars of soap we had ever seen. We should have known things were not going to be good when we pulled up to the office and saw a broken down golf cart with completely flat tires, its battery on the ground, that looked like it had been that way for years. WARNING: DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS PLACE.

Easy to find and easy to set up. You are right near the Arkansas and they have a nice sandy beach spot for easy access to cool off. Ther is also an amazing suspension bridge to explore both sides of the river.

Great Stay with Family!
Wonderful access to the river and the host was very accommodating to some specific requests we had plus very informative about things to do in the surrounding area. I really enjoyed my time and would love to visit again one day!

Best campground on the Arkansas!
I absolutely loved how you could easily walk to the river! I have a handicap in my left foot, and I had no problem being able to get to the water and sit in my chair. It was so amazing! Great camp site, I will go back soon!
