Overview

This business-zoned resort property combines RV, tent, and motel-style lodging. Black Bear RV Resort includes 19 winterized full hook-up RV sites, eight with 50 amp service and 11 with 30 amp service. The main lodge features six motel rooms along with owner/manager quarters, laundry, and a shower house. Multiple tent camping sites are also included and could support future expansion. The property is served by two wells and two septic systems.

The site is located on a busy arterial portion of US Highway 50 along the Arkansas River in south-central Colorado. The Arkansas River lies across the highway, offering on-water recreation including rafting and year-round fishing as described. The property is in Fremont County, with the town of Salida referenced as 10 miles away and Monarch Ski and Snowboard area referenced as about 40 minutes away.

For operators looking for a multi-income lodging use, the combination of RV sites and motel rooms provides different guest options within one property. Business zoning and the existing lodging infrastructure, including laundry and shower facilities, can support continued operation and potential scale-up using the on-site tent camping areas.
