Located just outside of downtown Buena Vista, BV Overlook offers a variety of nightly accommodations with an amazing view of the Collegiate Peaks. We welcome you to stay with us in your RV or van, enjoy tent camping, or cozy up in one of our tiny homes, cabins, or glamping accommodations. All accommodations include access to the bathhouses, community fire pits, recreation room, laundry, outdoor games and Wi-Fi. We look forward to hosting you.
Real camping, not a parking lot!!! Nice amenities with a rec room, laundry, wifi, dog park, playground, free morning drip coffee as well as nice espresso drinks for cheap. Also pizza and other hot foods. Showers and bathrooms clean and well kept. Management is so sweet and accommodating. Direct access to extensive hiking and biking trails, which can lead to downtown Buena Vista, about a 10 minute drive. Water is really good.
This property is quite spectacular. We stayed in the Shavano tiny house which was quaint and homey. The place was well decorated and had the BEST VIEW. I loved that they allowed our dogs at a reasonable flat rate and even provided treats and blankets so they could join us on the furniture!
Full disclosure, we did have a few hiccups here (mostly with the hot water heater). That said, the owner (Whitney I believe) handled the instance promptly after we able to get ahold of her the next day. She was professional, understanding, and kind from the moment we arrived to well after we checked out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

This campground is an absolute dump run by dishonest crooks. We stayed here in October on a night that it got below freezing and snowed. We were put in a cabin that had a 2-inch gap between the bottom of the door and threshold. The heater was more like a hair dryer and didn’t warm the cabin. It was 40 degrees in the cabin so we didn’t sleep. The floor crunched while walking on it and the platform bed was metal. When we got off the bed there was a loud bang. When we tried to get a refund from the owners she blamed us and said the problem was we didn’t understand rustic cabins. We have stayed in rustic cabins in the cold months for 10 years and never experienced this. The owner gave a 25% refund was which was inadequate for the uninhabitable conditions. We opened a dispute with our credit card and the owner then fought the dispute! There are many places in Buena Vista…take your business elsewhere.
Whitney is a outstanding host. They've got a little dog park. Nice remodeled bathrooms with men's and women's having 3 shower stalls. Nice community room with a clothes washing machine and dryer. Oh, and they can fill your propane on site.
We just left and I miss this place already! Had a wonderfully relaxing time in the Yurt. The site had the most spectacular view and the atmosphere of the campground as a whole was inviting and homey. Short walk to the nicely maintained bathrooms and main building. We visited off season so we weren't able to fully take advantage of everything they had to offer, but that just means we'll be back! Thank you for a perfect weekend 😁
