Just stopped by for a propane fill. Not a guest there but they were very friendly and even let me fill a water jug. I was a boondocker from up on Grand Mesa so I did not stay there but if I needed an RV park and hookups I would I future.

Have been stopping here off and on every time we are in the area and traveling through. Owners were very friendly and enjoyed a great conversation with both of them. In addition to our lunch we ordered the Grand Mesa Banana Split. What a great dessert. Our family of five barely was able to finish it.
San Juan Dance Co
Beautiful location, great food, good prices. Make sure Kim is cooking. However, management very unprofessional!! They lose checks, grossly overcharge for electricity ($100 for one month and we couldn’t use our AC because it didn’t work). Never a straight answer on important questions. Changes their minds on preset agreements. Inter in at your own risk.

Embracing a nature of Cedaredge/Grand Mesa CO. this is more like a campground than a commercial RV Resort. The owners are awesome and we enjoyed watching the deer every morning while sipping our coffee. On site amenities include full hookups, sewer, water. Propane is available for purchase and also a Homeatyle Cafe.
