The Black Bear RV park and resort is an awesome place! The rooms are nice and cozy and have a cabin vibe. Pamela who owns the resort is such a sweetheart and makes sure that everyone has what they need and is enjoying their stay. The property itself is beautiful with a hiking trail, meditation garden, dog park, hammocks, amazing Mountain views etc. I highly recommend staying here!!!

Black Bear RV Park and Motel was AMAZING! I stayed there for 2 weeks and loved it so much I will recommend this park to everyone traveling in the area of Salida! It is so peaceful, serene and feels so comfortable to be there despite the Hwy 50 traffic! The owner Pamela and her people there that are helping her build up the campground are AWESOME VERY GOOD PEOPLE!! They were once strangers but now are good friends of mine! Pamela has put in long hard grueling work to build this place of comfort from the 6 year abandoned wreckage she bought...Her tenacity, integrity, and determination proves unstoppable

Needed to get away and we chose Black Bear again! This was our 3rd staying there we love watching the progress of the place grow! It gets better and better every time we come to visit! We love how Pamela the owner stays focused and keeps raising the bar for her place! Covid-19 has been extremely stressful so we just needed a safe place to get away to and unwind. Masks are optional except when you interact with the owner. Which we definitely respect. We are always greeted with a warm smile and a cup of hot cocoa! We miss the beautiful view and will definitely come back to show our support and enjoy

My wife and I stayed overnight in our RV and were very happy with the accommodations. Pamela is very attentive as owner and host and she has clearly put a ton of work renovating the park. Great job! The park has awesome views and is located in a perfect area for hiking, biking, fishing and star gazing. We plan on staying longer during our next trip.

Our group six rv's damped last weekend there. Pamela, the owner and Jan and Gene, camp hosts bent over for us. This campground was abandoned for six years. It is a diamond in the rough. We will return
