Royal Gorge Camping
Trip Planning FAQs

Echo Canyon Campground is the same management team which oversees Echo Canyon River Expeditions, Royal Gorge Cabins, and the 8 Mile Bar & Grill. We are a hard working team with one goal; exceed your expectations each and every time. You work hard so you can take your family on vacation, so you deserve a lodging staff that works tirelessly to provide you with a comfortable and clean cabin or campsite which will be a retreat after a long day on the Colorado vacation trail. We want to create relationships with our guests and hosting their camping trips time and time again. Allow us to show you the ‘Echo Difference’.
