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. We do offer fly fishing lessons and fly rod rentals on arrival. Sweetwater 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.

Group Tent Site

We loved tent camping, even though there’s no service there the place had free WiFi and it was great having that there. The showers and restrooms were clean and nice to have on site. It was quiet and a great first time experience

Pioneer Cabin #2

Great cozy river side cabin with wonderful view of the mountains. I would recommend this spot to anyone. Just make sure you go when the weather is a bit warmer.

I locked my keys in my car my 2nd day there and the guy at the front desk wouldn't stop until he got my car open for me. It was 8 degrees outside! Can't wait to come back during the summer!!
