Cedar Creek RV Park

Cedar Creek is an easy 20-minute drive from the spectacular Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, to Colorado's west. The most famed part of it is of course the 48-mile Black Canyon, the deep and dark gorge plunging down to around 2,000 feet; several viewpoints are along its length if you want to hike around and peer down far. If you'd rather take it easier, a viewsomely scenic Black Canyon drive can be had along US Highway 50 and Colorado Highway 92, or on the 14-mile round trip along South Rim Drive from the park's visitor centre. There's also Ouray, about 45 minutes' drive south, where you can rent a jeep to zip around the old mining camps of the San Juan mountains. The RV park is also a five-minute drive from the Ute Indian Museum, telling the tale of the first inhabitants of the area, and 10 minutes from the Montrose Water Sports Park for activities on the Uncompahgre river. Telluride, a former mining town now converted into a swish ski resort, is about an hour and a half to the south.
