Experience life in the "past" lane when you stay in one of the classic campers at Starlite Classic Campground, located near the gorgeous Royal Gorge in Colorado. Camp owners Sylvia Davids and Larry Hill (of Retro Restoration) are experts in restoring and collecting campers, and have chosen some of the best to share at their park. Who could forget the hilarious antics of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as they traveled in "The Long, Long Trailer"? Now you can make your own memories in that style of trailer or choose one of the other vintage models offered for rent. Schedule your vacation today using the easy online reservation system.

For those who prefer their own RV, there are shady, level pull-through spaces, complete with a million-dollar view of the surrounding mountains. Starlite Campground will meet the needs of any guest, with tent sites, both basic and with electric, and cozy cabins that sleep up to six people. Restrooms and laundry facilities are clean and convenient. Chose a souvenir commemorating your visit at the gift shop, stocked with retro and vintage items.

Starlite Campground is just west of Canon City, two hours from Denver and 45 miles from Colorado Springs. A mile away is the spectacular Royal Gorge Bridge, the highest suspension bridge in the country. Around it is a park with rides, shows and attractions. For a scenic view of the gorge and the Arkansas River, board the historic train that makes a 24-mile trip. An exciting aerial view can be seen on the Royal Gorge Zip Line, reaching speeds of more than 40 miles an hour. Go deep underground for a gold mine tour in Cripple Creek, or go for a jackpot at one of the local casinos. Take to the water for an exhilarating white-water rafting adventure.

Look no further than Starlite Campground for activities for the whole family. The seasonal pool is a delightful way to cool off, and there's volleyball, mini golf, horseshoes, a playground and dog park. June brings the Colorado Classic Campout, a vintage camper rally. Another summer highlight is the Trailer Trash Bash in August. Vintage campers take center stage with an open house and swap meet. Dress in your best trailer trash attire and you might be crowned Trailer Trash Queen! Groups and rallies are always welcome at Starlite, so multiply the fun by planning an event today. Friendly staff members will help with all the details.
