Well I will start at the beginning of our crazy trip. My family and I were heading to camp north of salida when our tow vehicle gave out just a half a mile from the bighorn to the west. I had my 19 year daughter and her boyfriend walk back the bighorn to see if there was any spots available. To my surprise one of the owners Aaron came to are rescue and towed us to an open site. Which gave me a chance to rescue our vacation and alow my family to have there well deserved vacation rest. For the camp ground it is a 10 out of 10, the owners and amazing grounds keeps have made a bad trip in to on of our most favorite and loved trip ever. To Aaron his wife Brenda and Rhea as well as Aaron's lovely mother thank you so much for allowing use to be apart of your amazing camping experience.

Great place. The hotel is in no way a 5 star, but for what it is it is a 10. Staff is wonder, friendly, accommodating and attentive. I would love to revisit this area and stay here again.

Very relaxing stay. Awesome owners were super friendly. River access and a pool were great for my kids.

We were really disappointed by our recent experience with this camping community. During our last stay, our family was respectful, followed the rules, and paid a significant amount of money to be there. Unfortunately, there were issues caused by other people that were completely out of our control, yet we are now being denied the opportunity to return. What makes this especially upsetting is that my daughter wanted to celebrate her 5th birthday here because she loved it so much the first time. Instead of being treated fairly as returning guests, we were essentially punished for circumstances we did not create. We understand communities need rules and standards, but it’s frustrating when loyal, respectful families are not given the benefit of the doubt or even a chance to explain. We truly enjoyed the location itself, which is why this situation has been so disappointing.

This is our 4th year camping at Bighorn RV Park, the owners are one of the many reasons we come back! There always up to share a good story or give advice on 4wheelin trails or anything else you want to go do. You won't find a better location at the river. We always get the lower tent spots, the river and mountains are what we wake up to literally 15 feet away. The park is super clean, and not far from town, The fly fishing is great, this years weather is unusual, but not stopping the fish! Highly recommend, they have everything! Tent spots with power, ample RV parking spaces, including pull through and back in. All RVs have full hook up! Mini bunk houses sitting up over the river, just walk out onto the porch for a great view! Cabins plus a great picnic area with grills and a small boat launch. Summer time there is an in ground swimming pool, and a great kids playground!
