Great family RV park. Plenty to do. You can fish the 15 ponds that are on site and are included in the price of the RV space. You can also fish the river with a Colorado state fishing license. They have a pool hall with arcade games. Paddle boats. Mini golf, and ice cream shop, gift shop,and a dance on Saturday nights for two hours. Starts at 8pm And ends at 10 pm.

This was my second year visiting Fun Valley while traveling with friends and family, and unfortunately this trip will be all of our last. The park has simply lost its appeal. The staff in the kitchen were kind and inviting. However, the staff at the gift shop, the front desk, and those running the arts and crafts event were anything but “Fun” for Fun Valley. They came across as grumpy, rude, and unwelcoming, which really took away from the overall experience. For those in our group who were tent camping, I was told the bathhouse conditions were awful and horrendous. That’s simply not what anyone should expect when staying at a campground while paying a nightly fee. It’s disappointing to see the park headed in this direction, and based on this experience, none of us plan on returning.

My family has been camping at Fun Valley since the 70's and we were disappointed by the changes under the new management. The campsites are small and overcrowded. We were asked to move our only vehicle from our site twice by security to accommodate neighboring sites. When we asked about a neighboring site having 4+ vehicles we were informed by security "we would just have to deal with it". The new owners have taken all of the trees out of the meadow and replaced it with gravel. While some staff members were amazing, many were rude or the amenities were understaffed. Overall the experience was not worth the high price tag and after 50 years of tradition we will not be returning.

Fun Valley is a family favorite we've been visiting for years, and it just keeps getting better! The security is top-notch, giving us peace of mind while our grandkids explore and ride their bikes. We always meet amazing families there, and the owners truly care, offering free paddle boating, miniature golf, and bike rentals this year to help with gas prices. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and there are activities for all ages – the dance and lazy river are highlights for our family. There is so much to do for the entire family. The showers are always clean. You really need to experience Fun Valley for yourself to see how amazing it is!

I can't recommend this resort enough!! We have been twice with our now 4 & 6yo, and we just love it. It's relaxing, but plenty to do. The weather is great, the people are even better. Already planning next year's trip!
