This was a very cool place to Celebrate a wedding. I tent camped so I did not have the pleasure of staying in one of the cool campers but if they were anything like the game room and Main building I am sure they're amazing. The tent camping was lovely though, with nice trees in between each spot and lots of flat area to set up. I am hoping to stay there again next summer.

Just got back from a girl's weekend at Starlite. The place is so cute and unique. The themed campers are really cute, the bathroom facility was very clean and the staff was awesome. It was perfect weather going in October, not too hot but bright and sunny and we were able to see shooting stars at night while sitting around the campfire. We ordered a pizza from the office our second night and the owner hand delivered it to our campsite. The location is a short drive from town and close to the Royal Gorge. I love supporting a unique small business and we'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience!

The Starlite Vintage Resort was a great place to spend a weekend in Colorado with family and friends! We celebrated our son and daughter in-law’s wedding celebration there, and it was perfect! Soon after arrival, we all gave tours of our campers to see each one’s unique and fun little details like the paper plate dispenser in one, bright orange stove in the other-great eye candy for vintage (or cool stuff liking) folks. Places were clean and comfy, and all the staff were super helpful and friendly-and dang, it’s located near a ton of stuff to do, or just sit and stare at the beautiful scenery. Definitely a gem!

Starlite Vint. Resort is a DELIGHT! We hosted our magical, retro-themed wedding at the campground, and it was perfect! The hosts were a blast, the staff was incredibly helpful, and the location offered so much for our guests—from mountain view strolls, retro fire truck rides, old-school games, Royal Gorge adventures, and treasure hunting at the nearby rock shop. Starlite offers a truly unique experience, and the welcoming venue added so much to our special celebration. It’s officially a favorite spot of ours! We will be back whenever we are in the area. A HUGE thank you to D&D for collaborating with us to make our celebration so memorable. 💖

You must stay at this place! So much to explore in the area...Royal Gorge just a few miles from the campground....shopping, rock shops, and stunning scenery in almost every direction. Just had our daughter's wedding there...what a great venue. The owners were so easy to work with (funny, too!) and they have a very helpful staff as well. Do yourself a favor and check out STARLITE VINTAGE RESORT in Canon City Colorado! Why the fire truck? Go there and ask!

Starlite Vintage Resorts was an adorable place to stay. The rustic cabins had everything needed, and the communal bathrooms were clean and well cared for. Close to a great spot to eat. Complete with a fantastic mountain view. Great for adventurers who travel light and don't mind close quarters!

Came for a short weekend trip and had such a lovely time (: Dirk the friendly owner gave us a tour and helped us choose the best accommodations. We chose the Long Long Trailer, the same model from the classic film with Lucille Ball. Can’t recommend this cute campground enough. 10/10 will be coming back again in the summer! 🌈🗻

This is such an awesome place to stay!! We would totally stay again. BUT I DO NOT recommend the woodstock camper. I was just waiting to fall through the bathroom floor and there is nowhere to park next to that camper like there are for the others. Everything else was great!

We brought our own camper so can’t speak to the ones provided but everyone we talked to said they were great. The staff is so friendly! We arrived and they were having a community open mic night. Lots to do- seasonal pool, yard games, hot tub my reservation and a dog park. Clean bathrooms and showers. Even WiFi if you need it. Pleasantly surprised and hope to come back again.
