About Dark Sky River Lodge
Dark Sky River Lodge sits right on the Arkansas River outside Salida, Colorado. Under new ownership since 2024, the property has been cleaned up, refreshed, and reopened for year-round stays. Cabins, motel rooms, and RV sites—all on the water under genuinely dark skies. Simple, comfortable, and close to everything the Arkansas Valley has to offer. Wake to the sound of the Arkansas River. Enjoy coffee on your deck as the mountains catch the morning light. Just 20 minutes from downtown Salida—galleries, restaurants, trailheads, and the river. Come back when you’re ready. Sit around the fire under truly dark Colorado skies. The Milky Way is visible on most clear nights.
