Painted Rock Park

I agree with a previous reviewer - know what you are in for. The pictures are not representative of the state of this park. When we first arrived it literally looked abandoned. We had to ask for the grass to be cut. It was 18” high. It was also infested with moths. Two weeks after we left we’re still getting them out of our rig. We’ve been full time 3 years and never had a mouse. We got one the first night we were there. There’s also sand spurs so big they punctured my ebike tires and our dog kept bloody paws. We spent close to $100 dealing with all these issues from the lack of maintenance. Some of the grass got cut but never the entire park. The road leaving was so muddy we had to use 4WD. We were stressed about getting our rig down the road the day we left because it had rained the night before. We did leave early and Liz refunded us the difference. It’s a beautiful very isolated area but not worth the safety issues we had to deal with. Also even the grocery store in Burlington is not that great. Stock up on any supplies if you go.

Did an overnight here. Checked in at the office and staff was helpful when we had a few questions upon arrival. They allowed us to switch our spot when we had concerns about the approach and a few smaller trees. WiFi was strong and worked well. The 5miles of dirt road on the way in was okay/not bad with a few large potholes that we were able to avoid. Overnight we experienced torrential rain, hail and wind. In the morning it was a different story. The roads back to the hwy were muddy and our tow vehicle was swaying back and forth, not able to gain traction since the tires were caked in mud. If you're looking for an easy on/off hwy this  campground might not be for you. However it certainly is very calm and peaceful. In some ways we felt like pictures were a bit deceiving. The grass wasn't mowed around site.  They do have a lookout deck but nails were poking out and steps were broken. Overall park doesn't seem to be as well maintained as expected. Don't get me wrong, this is a lovely place to stay with beautiful sweeping views from every direction but know what you're in for. Also important to note that there are no bathrooms/showers available at this time.

It was so peaceful here!! Enjoyed the respite. We stayed for 2 nights, did the laundry and just relaxed. Even our dog loved it. Thank you for providing all of the necessities.

This place is a beautiful oasis in eastern Colorado. Spacious, level RV sites. But the clubhouse, showers, game room, kitchen are the crowning jewels! Would be great as hunting lodge/RV or just passing through. 4 miles South of I-70 is well worth the drive for the quiet seclusion and immaculate amenities! Check it out! Thanks to the owners!

This campground is quiet and in the middle of beautiful eastern Colorado fields. It's well worth driving the few miles of really good unpaved roads. The owner, Chuck, owns 50 thousand acres and is very hospitable. We recommend staying here.
