Royal View Campground is a campground in Colorado, about 1.6 miles from the town of Sample. It sits close to several other outdoor spots, including Prospectors RV Resort, which is just 0.3 miles away, and Echo Canyon Campground, about 1.6 miles off. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Canon City show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August climb to the upper 80s. That station sits roughly 850 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Climbers will find the Slick Rock Gardens Bouldering Area and Cinema Wall about 2.2 miles away. Mountain bikers can head to the "made in the shade" trail, about 2.7 miles off.
