Salida East Campground offers 25 campsites with a boat ramp providing direct Arkansas River access for rafting and fishing, located just 2 miles east of Salida on Highway 50.

Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and tent pad, with vault toilets available; the campground is open year-round at $28/night and accommodates RVs up to 60 feet.

Note that sites are close together with limited shade and privacy, and there is road noise from Highway 50, though the riverside location offers excellent mountain views and convenient access to town amenities.
