Our Story

Family-Built.
Adventure-Ready.

Idaho Springs RV Campground was created by Deanna and Jason, along with their sons River and Clay, as a place where travelers can relax, recharge, and explore the Rockies without rushing through.

In 2018, they fell in love with Idaho Springs—its history, mountain views, and friendly vibe—and decided to build the kind of RV park they wished existed when they traveled here. It took years of hard work, overcoming zoning hurdles, construction challenges, and Colorado’s wild winters, but in 2024 their dream became reality.

Today, the campground offers:

Whether you’re here for a few nights or a longer getaway, our goal is to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and inspired to explore all Idaho Springs has to offer.
