The park is clean, safe and in a great location - near the river, grocery store and hardware store. Great place to stay a while and enjoy the local restaurants, trails, shops, etc.

Just what we needed after a long night of driving. It's difficult to find with the road construction and it's down around this hidden corner almost. The area was safe and well lit. I would say it's quiet too but you can hear the mining equipment all night. The sky though like nothing you have ever seen

The drive to the park can be tricky to find. If you use the directions to the NAPA Store next door, you will get there easier. Even though it is very near the highway, there wasn't much noise.

The park is really the only nice park in town. It is walking distance to grocery store and historic downtown FairPlay. This park is in the coolest place in the lower 48. I was there June, July and 1/2 of August. It was never over 80 and that was only two days. Most 74 day and 45-50 at night.

Tent camped here. There was a small tent pad at the front of the RV park next to the game cabin. Road construction going on and water pump by the river ran all night long. Bathroom/showers looked new but only 2/5 had power. Would not recommend tent camping here. Most RV spots were full.

Middle fork RV Park really surprised us in a good way. Located just off of Hwy. 285, situated behind a Grocery-Store/Mini Mall.The view and stream side location was amazing once we got back in there. This hidden gem was lovely after we parked. The camp attendant was friendly and booked our 2 night stay over the phone before we arrived. Fair Play is an old silver mining town with a rich history worth exploring. It had nice little restaurants, grocery and a winery with free tastings. Families with kids swam in the stream that winded all the way through the campsite, we fished and rode bikes. There was a scenic trail to walk the dog. Full hook up, new/clean/close bath house made it convenient. The nice size lot and room for parking our tow car was nice. We rode our E-Bike 1/2 mile up to a Sporting Goods store in town to buy a 1 day fishing permit $17 each, trout fishing bait and lures. We fished right next to our campsite and caught fish! This was a respite from the road and a place we will come back to again.

Rooms doesn't really apply here since it's sleeping in your own RV. Bathrooms were new but we didn't see any cleaning for our time there. Location is a little complicated with the ongoing road construction and traffic backup. Had to call and they were really helpful in getting us turned around and on the property. One side has the river and the other side a stocked trout pond. Kids really loved it and great to relax around the campfire with the river sounds in the background.

We were scheduled for a 4 night stay and when got there we found that there was no water at the sites, save one. It was frozen despite their water lines being buried 6.5' deep, as we were told. The only water available was in one site, so you had to hook up, pull to the only site with water, and then reset your camper. They did graciously refund all our money. We drove another two hours to a KOA West of Denver, where they held the only site left. The KOA was much nicer, though more expensive. A very frustrating day of travel that ended well, thank God! Middlefork should have been telling people ahead of time that they were without water. Again they did refund all our money.

Most people staying at the Rv park are full time residents with many of their Rvs almost looking abandoned. Had one super drunk guy everyday making a complete you know what of himself. He was so drunk a couple of the nights he couldn't hold on to his dogs leash and it ran into our camp and fought our dogs. The Sheriff was at several of the Rv spots looking to make contact with several of the residents so not sure what this was about but it wasn't a settling feeling. Another complaint is that there is no designated dump. We only had electricity at our site and were told we'd have water but apparently it was "frozen". I would not recommend this place for families and oh btw it's pretty expensive.

We wanted a basecamp close to local skiing at a reasonable price. It's winter, 7° nights, so no surprise or expectations for water to be on. Bathrooms are warm and working, no snow to deal with. Grocery store just up the hill, an Ace Hardware and a brewery. Can't ask for more.

Nice quiet little campground near the river. Great communication with onsite staff. Showers, bathroom, and laundry available! Refreshing to work with people vs policies 🙂

Bathhouse is a little dated but VERY clean and that's what matters. Thank you! Excellent location. Convenient to everything in Fairplay & beyond. Only 25 mins to Breckenridge. 1 hr to Princeton Hot Springs. Walking distance to grocery store, restaurants & wine bar :) Fantastic dirt bike trails & hiking all around. Close to Fairplay beach. Great fishing. West side of campground has a creek running through which sounds amazing and crystal clear waters with a cleared path to it for wading or rinsing coffee cups :) East side of campground has a walking path along a little pond. Catch & release fishing is allowed. I think I saw some small trout? Benches along the path. I'd call this place a little slice of Western Americana. Very family friendly. I'd give it more than 5 stars if only there were just a few more trees for shade & privacy. I did notice immature Aspen plantings, etc. so I can see that you're working on that improvement. Once those trees grow a bit, this will be a 10 star campground. Easy, clean access to water, dump station & garbage cans. Tory, who checked us in & remains onsite is SO professional & helpful. Thanks again. We will return :)

I wish there were more stars to leave. We have stated another part for the last 6 months and after 2 days we regret we were not over here. This is a beautiful well-maintained Park and we have the Platte River running behind us. The amenities are well maintained and the manager was super helpful getting us in and made it simple. This is the place to stay short-term or long-term.

Un level sites water logged with alot of standing water. Dryers suck and sandy ground will get everywhere in your rv! Don't get me started on the office guy that checked us in.... super tight leggins and his man junk just out there for everyone to look at GROSS! I have a teenager that I don't need seeing your beans and weenie 🤮

Great views. Nice to be next to a grocery store and hardware store. The shower and bathroom facility is in horrible condition. Mold, mildew, broken showers, no handle on the water control for one shower. No lights at night to lead to the bathroom building. My wife drove to the bathroom in the middle of the night as it was too dark for her to feel safe.
