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!

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!

The Sweetwater River Resort was a beautiful and peaceful place to sleep. The site was well kept. The manager was helpful and prompt. The bathrooms worked well and the wifi helped us keep some signal. Overall loved this site and can’t wait to stay again!
