Coming in the camper? Mountain Views RV Park & Resort is the perfect spot to launch your Creede adventure.
Once downtown, explore the many shops, restaurants, galleries, and views in our unique mountain town.

Adventure
Book a fishing trip at Creede Guide & Outfitters. Even if you’ve never cast a fly rod, their guides will make it an unforgettable experience. Or reserve an ATV/UTV with Mountain Skillz and experience the spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains.
Catch a Show!
We don’t just perform at night. Creede Rep offers matinees several days a week. Creede Rep performs in town different spaces within blocks of each other: the historic Mainstage Theatre, and the intimate Ruth Humphreys Brown Theatre which opened in 2011.
On the Mainstage Theatre this season, catch the hilarious musical, Xanadu, based on the cult classic Universal Pictures film. Want some drama? Don’t miss the riveting Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson, about renowned astronomer Henrietta Leavitt.
DAY 3
Hike
Creede is nestled in 9% National Forest, offering a variety of hikes right outside your back door! Stop by the forest ranger station at 3rd and Main St. or pop into San Juan Sports for a variety of hikes right out your back door.
If you want to stay close to town, we recommend the Up-and-Over, which takes you to the beautiful spires above downtown. You can find the trailhead in the parking lot east of Downstream Gas & Mercantile.
Art
Creede might have more galleries per capita than any other city as well as being home to internationally acclaimed watercolor artist, Stephen Quiller. Long live the arts in Creede!
Sweet Music
You won’t want to miss one of the many concerts and events offered by the Creede Musical Arts Collective, featuring prominent artists from mutliple genres.
Then round out your trip with Tom Jones’ musical masterpiece, The Fantasticks, the first main-season musical produced in our intimate Ruth Humphreys Brown Theatre. Also stay tuned for some special celebratory events throughout the summer!
We hope you enjoyed your stay.
