Glamping in the Royal Gorge Region

The secret is out. The Royal Gorge Region is one of Colorado’s premier camping destinations. With world-class outdoor recreation and campgrounds like Temple Canyon Park and The Bank near Shelf Road, people are flocking to play and stay in the Royal Gorge Region.

Still on the down-low, however, are camping options called glamping, which is defined as glamorous camping.

It’s a way to experience the great outdoors without sacrificing luxury.
