Gone to this place the past couple years for Labor Day weekend. The owners are great, very helpful if it need anything and put on some fun family activities. Wish they had a couple electrical sites for tent campers but other than that, no complaints at all, love this place.Posted on Google![]()

This campground is a vintage campground that rents a large variety of vintage campers and other cabins / apartments, but also has bare sites for people with their own RVs as well. It was awesome! It takes you back to the 60's with outstanding theming. It was so much fun! There were communal spaces around where you could sit and talk to other guests - they were done up very well. There is a game room in one of the vintage campers. There was a nice little pool, rare in this area. The owners clearly had a passion for this, you could tell a lot of love and hard work went into building this. That passion extended to the way the treated guests, they were so friendly and helpful - above and beyond. The other staff was amazing as well in their knowledge of the area. I was on a three month trip, and stayed at lots of campgrounds - most were just a place for me to sleep. But when I arrived here I immediately fell in love with the place, and it was so much more than just a place for me to sleep a few nights.Posted on Google![]()

What a gem to find!! This place is so much fun with a ton of character. You can tell the owners put alot of thought into the decor and also the communal spaces. There are tons of comfy chairs and hammocks for people to congregate. The first night was karaoke and a fire engine ride that my kids absolutely loved. The owner made karaoke so fun! The next night was a movie that they popped popcorn from an old school machine. We stayed in our own camper, but their campers looked so cute and fun. Tons of toys for the kids. Absolutely obsessed with this place and will definitely be back.Posted on Google![]()

We spent a full week at Starlite Vintage Resort over Labor Day weekend and had such a great stay! The location is fantastic, with beautiful views and tons to do in the surrounding area, especially if you enjoy hiking and exploring. Starlite itself is such a unique place. There are lots of different ways to stay, including all of their vintage campers, each with its own fun theme. We brought our own camper and stayed at one of the campsites, which worked out perfectly for us. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, which was a huge plus for us. Our pup absolutely loved sitting outside the camper, taking in all the smells blowing through on the Colorado breeze & getting tons of pets! You do hear some vehicle noise from Highway 50, but it didn't take away from our experience & we didn't hear it while sleeping. The owners are incredibly hospitable, and Dirk was especially nice and welcoming. They only bought Starlite about two years ago, and it's honestly hard to believe how much they've already done with the property. Over Labor Day weekend they had karaoke one night, an outdoor nighttime movie, vintage firetruck rides and other little touches that made the weekend really fun. I'm excited to see what else they continue to add! There's plenty to explore nearby, Royal Gorge is 5 min away. I'd definitely recommend a visit to Bugling Elk Winery while you're in the area, and Julian's Taco Shop is great too. Otherwise, bring food & cook at the campsite and enjoy the views. Such a fun, quirky and memorable place to stay. We'd absolutely recommend Starlite and would love to come back! But 🤫 don't tell too many people!!Posted on Google![]()

A fun and quirky place to stay for a night or a weekend. Friendly and helpful staff, clean bathrooms/showers, and a great assortment of unique RVs to stay in. Or bring your own RV/tent, various levels of utility hookups available. I visited on a Labor Day weekend, and every site was occupied or reserved. Even with a full house, it didn’t seem crowded. Lots of room for enjoying the outdoors at every site.Posted on Google![]()

If you are considering staying at Starlite Vintage Resort, DO IT. We had the most amazing girls' trip here and honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Starlite feels like stepping back in time to a 1950s or 60s vintage camper resort, and I absolutely loved it. The retro setting is adorable, the views are gorgeous, and the whole place has such a fun, nostalgic personality. We had beautiful summer weather during our stay, including a couple of those perfect little Colorado summer thunderstorms, and the mountain views were incredible. We could even see the Royal Gorge Bridge from our balcony! We stayed in the Modern Comfort Apartment, which was absolutely perfect for our group of four. I am very much a girl who appreciates the outdoors, but I also need running water and modern amenities, so this was the perfect compromise for me :) The apartment was surprisingly spacious, incredibly cute, and had all the adorable retro charm we were hoping for. We were more than comfortable with four of us, and the kitchen was perfect for our girl dinner and snack situation. The balcony became our favorite spot for wine, games, and just hanging out together. There was so much to do without ever feeling like we needed to leave. We spent time at the pool, relaxed in the hammocks, played games on our balcony, and absolutely LOVED campsite karaoke. It was such a fun and unique experience and made the whole trip feel even more special. And the staff were truly top notch. Every single person we interacted with was kind, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. You can tell how much pride everyone takes in this place, and that really comes through in the experience. They also went above and beyond after we had already gone home. I accidentally left a bottle of wine and a wine glass behind, and a couple weeks later I came home to find that they had HAND-DELIVERED both of them to my mailbox! I was completely surprised and so touched by the thoughtfulness. That little gesture says so much about the kind of care they have for their guests. We are already talking about making this an annual girls trip, and now we want to come back and stay in some of the other vintage trailers too. They are all individually themed and absolutely adorable, and many even have their own bathrooms. We also cannot wait to come back with our families for another stay. Starlite Vintage Resort is one of those places that feels like an experience, not just somewhere you stay. It is charming, nostalgic, relaxing, quirky, beautiful, and clearly loved by the people who run it. We had an incredible time and will absolutely be back!Posted on Google![]()

This place is a gem!! This was our 3rd stay at Starlite and it keeps getting better with more amenities. The kids had a blast roaming, playing ball, swimming, flying kites…etc. This was a perfect weekend with multi families. Will be back next yearPosted on Google![]()

We went to vintage camper heaven at Starlite! So unique and well taken care of! We checked in and immediately booked a second night in a different camper so we could soak in all the decor and retro vibes. We had a blast! I’ve been looking for excuses to return asap which is always a great sign. Thanks for a fabulous stay! We’ll be back!
Vintage stays, mountain views, campfires, and unforgettable time together—just minutes from the Royal Gorge.
