Very nice campground. Everyone was super nice. Food in Cafe was outstanding. Campground very clean. Our kids loved the pool and the play area. The dogs loved the huge dog area. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We have been coming to Alpen Rose for about 10 years but the last two years we were unable to come because of the managers dog policy. The RV sort is now under new management and the park is back to a really nice resort. The new management is working to improve the resort. They are all lovely people to work with and the resort is really nice again! A very nice relaxed atmosphere and a great location. Thank you to the new management for bringing the resort back up to par! We will be back!!

Massive dog park with agility course! And a dog wash station. Very dog friendly! I was very impressed. The views are stunning. The sites were a bit tight on one side but had plenty of space on the other. Visit the Durango Hot Springs and the historic downtown for shopping and restaurants. Hiking trails are nearby too.

RV Site= Rooms. Our big rig site was very nice and relaxing under the trees with grass and a nice view. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The maintenance of the grounds were very meticulously kept. It is always nice to have a dog park, and this dog park is 2 acres with grass! The location of the park is perfect, it's just enough out of town to be quiet and able to enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains. Thank you Alpen Rose, we will visit again.

This is a wonderful, well kept campground. The staff is definitely the nicest. We were greeted at our arrival and shown around the park. Our host gave us all of the information we needed. Wonderful breakfast choices and dinner was delicious pizza and salad. The bathhouse was big, clean and inviting. Laundry was up to date and affordable. We had fun with our family and enjoyed our stay. We had a side by side buddy site. Spacious dog park was a plus. Thank you for accommodating us. We will return.
