El Bosquecito

Operated by Colossal Cave Park, El Bosquecito provides four RV spots on a first-come, first-serve basis in the high desert outside Vail. Campers must travel to the park's gift shop to pay the $15 nightly fee. The campground sits at the base of a road system that leads to additional camping areas, though access beyond El Bosquecito requires high-clearance vehicles and restricts RVs over 20 feet. Recent visitors found the sites empty and well-maintained, with basic amenities including picnic tables, drinking water, and trash service. The location works well for RV campers seeking a quiet base camp with easy access to Colossal Cave Mountain Park and hiking trails.
