Buyer beware!!! The pictures depicted are not as they seem. There is no access from this parking lot, yes parking lot not a "resort" as described, to any walks or anything other then a gravel lot. Our site faced a brick wall covered in some ivy, non decorative, no fire pit, at any of the sites and no picnic table or anything other than gravel. There was a wooden fence directly behind us that constantly echoed non stop traffic. Also out of the six/seven shower bathrooms, only three were operational. The non working ones had some "logs" in the toilets that made them non operational. And if your traveling as we were and you book for three nites the day before you get there they give you seven days prior to cancel your stay, otherwise you lose all you've paid. So unless you can go back in time, you're screwed as was we. Unfortunately the other campgrounds in the area were all booked for the three days so we ended up at the KOA near central city and even though it's a little more then we usually pay for a campground, it is an amazing campground with amazing views!!

It's the most expensive per night fee I've paid just to stay in a run down gravel parking lot. My partner was unable to change her site in the office at checkin and was instructed she'd have to cancel her current booking (incurring a cancellation fee) and then rebooking a new site. I'll be avoiding rjourney affiliated parks in the future. I would only book here if you have absolutely no other option.

Being a suburb of Denver it's a safe, quiet place to park and stay. It's a solid gravel lot with fairly level pull through spots. Full hookups. Consistent power. Laundry and shower on site. Plenty of dog waste pickup bags around near the trash cans for easy pickup after pets. Dog friendly with friendly staff on-site. Close enough to amenities to be convenient. If one must be in the Denver area, then this rv park is a great place to park with short term and long term bookings. Has a package pickup so you can receive deliveries while you stay.

Great location and staff, no complaints! Applewood is a nice, safe, and secure RV park with great access to the amenities of the area. Easy access to I-70 with little to no traffic noise. The staff are friendly and helpful and really make your stay here a pleasure.

Old couches sit outside of RVs that haven’t moved in years. Run down and gross all around. If that doesn’t paint a picture one drive through the park will have you keep moving. The location is good. But the owners would be better off selling to an investor with money that would level this place and start over.
