In our years of traveling and on and off full-time living out of our rig, Riverview RV Park has quickly become our favorite stay in Colorado, if not of all time!! Breathtaking views surround this surprisingly accessible hidden gem of a location, as it’s nestled at a cozy elevation of about 5,100 feet in the strikingly scenic foothills of the Rocky Mountains due west, and just outside of Loveland, Colorado. Along the diagonal length of its northern perimeter ambles the sublime and relaxing alpine snowmelt fed Big Thompson River. We’ve been here about a week- and it’s been, simply put, fantastic! The entire park is very obviously passionately curated, with on-site walking trails, a well-kempt playground for those with kiddos, a grassy dog park, and a centrally located pavilion. There’s an abundance of native accents (foliage) dotting the campground, providing a robust natural setting and experience uncommon among many other parks and campgrounds this close to civilization east of the Rockies in Colorado. It’s literally a handful of minutes up the road from an assortment of gas stations, grocery, and shopping centers, dining options, and easily a dozen unique and beautiful local hiking trails (half of them being a ten-minute drive or less). Not to mention a quaint, rustic on-site shop in the main office that’s well stocked with every and any supply you might imagine for both RV and tent camping- and plenty you might not have! Their RV sites offer (impressively constructed and maintained, and four season capable) full-hookups, and they have two immaculately kempt shower and restroom facilities, along with on-site laundry, propane, and an independent dump site. They also offer both conventional trash services, and recycling options. Their on-site laundry facilities, it bears mentioning, are among the best we’ve ever used. The machines are perfect for a single load, and powerful. Made getting our laundry done quickly and completely swift and convenient. Oh, and throughout most of the park our mobile data service (they also have complimentary WiFi service) and reception has been impressive considering the location. It seems to function better in some portions of the park than others, particularly along the riverside. From working remotely to common utility- the place seems to suffer remarkably little for its gorgeous and unique location! The staff is professional and earnestly friendly and cares a great deal about the comfort and quality of their guests’ experience. The whole place buzzes with the feel of relaxed community- whether you like to keep to yourself or poke around a bit and explore, and there are all kinds of interesting and unique wood carvings, tiny bridges, and other fitting environmental accents throughout the park. To our amazement, we’ve even noticed ongoing improvements underway- which shocked us, that this could be improved upon- as we’ve gone for some casual strolls around the place. The attention that goes into this place is as obvious as it can be subtle. It’s difficult not to fall in love with this place after just a brief time being here. We found it by accident after some other plans of ours fell through, and we’ve been delighted, impressed, and quite happy they did ever since our arrival!

I'll start off by saying Lauren and Buddy were great and the place is beautiful. Now there is no communication between the people in the office but the manager Morgan who's been living there for 7 years is the worst person there she won't give you any leeway for any reason. if your truck breaks down you will be towed no if ands or buts, if your truck is broke down and you have a charger on your battery and your not physically under the hood working on your truck you better close the hood even if you damage your tools because it looks bad. When our application for longterm stay was denied (because our camper is too old) she blocked our attempt to pay for the space for a few days so we could find somewhere to move to. It was sunday at the time so no other rv parks had open offices. The owners as far as we know also had no involvement or knowledge of any of this. Side note Morgan's girlfriend also has some authority in the park even though she doesn't work there as when my father was on the phone with Morgan via the parks emergency number her girlfriend could heard the background shouting " just hang up and call the police" over and over again which ended up being takin and put on our notice to leave as "if you or your belongings are seen in the mentioned lot after 2 hours the police will be called" sorry for ranting.

easy check in, bathrooms at office were clean. Sites are very close, seems to be more long term than short term folks. Quiet park we pd over $60/night to get full hook up by river River noise is always a plus. internet was non existent with very few channels.

Nasty sewer horrible smell the entire weekend. And other people who camp here every year said to me that the owners are extremely cheap. I think we are going to find a way to report this with the city, trip advisor, good sams ect with whoever we need to because this can't be ok for campers to sleep 2 or 3 nights on this nasty smell. Or have flash your sewer somewhere alse because the sewer line system here are damage for year and they don't want to fix it this problem they have for yearssss..||They are completly book every weekend so it's not excuses for it because you guys make plenty enough money to resolve that problem in this great but nasty smelly location.||Don't be cheap on something that you make lot of money on||What a nasty people.

Such a great location but poorly maintained, most of the park is filled with full timers even though they claim 2 weeks is the longest you can stay. Had to request that they weed wack the weeds around the site and the neighbors sewer hose was right next to our picnic table. Stayed here before and figured we’d give them one more try but that’s the last try, so sad to see a park with great location not care about the park!

Our first time at this park. Check in was great. Site was just ok. LOTS of sand and dust most days. Good shade at our location #32. The sites along the river are back in only. Water pressure varied the entire 7 days we stayed. Mostly low pressure mornings and nights. Bathrooms were clean but women’s group building had non working paper towel dispenser. Overall, if the west side of the park where many permanent residents are living was cleaned up, this park would be fine. Internet was very weak but worked. Office personnel were nice and it was stocked with many many things. Would we stay here again? Maybe…..

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have been here numerous times with family, friends, and just us with the dogs and every time has been fantastic! We love it so much we had our small wedding ceremony here last fall! It was beautiful! The office and maintenance teams are so amazing, friendly, helpful… I could go on and on. We enjoy the concerts on Saturday nights and the fun events they have for the families. I agree with others about the WiFi issues but seriously people… you’re camping! Get off your screens! Keep up the great work everyone and can’t wait to see you again! 💛

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Very nice campground. Big cottonwood trees nice, landscaping, and riverside RV sites. Full hookups. Excellent location to visit Estes and RMNP. Nice playground. The drive here to the park is known for bighorn sheep, but we didn't have any luck spotting them. I would definitely stay here again.

We have been rvers since 1999 and this is with out a doubt the worse camp ground we have ever stayed at. I always publish my reviews and they are always fair. The cons are: Dirt dirt and dirty (need gravel) Zero water pressure Bugs Extremely unkept Booking fee charge Had to dig out the water and electric connections (raise the water supply line as well as the electrical connection) The place is SO RAN down See the photos If they would refund our charges we would have left. The pictures on there website do not depict the true look of this park. This park needs massive improvements.

Beautiful river view in the 140s spots. Bathhouse near the front very clean. The middle bathhouse..ehh. clean organized laundry facility. $2 a load. No 5 star because the dump station says temporarily out of order, but it looked more than temporary to me. Current fix to that problem is to find an empty spot and dump there. Not a problem if it is a short stay like our 3 night stay.

I was charged for an additional night stay. They agreed on email that they had made the mistake. They have been giving me the run around that it would take a certain amount of days for the refund. After I waited and contacted them that I still did not receive the refund, they have stopped responding to my emails. No big deal my bank will step in and help. Just that their customer service sucks and if you don't keep track of their withdrawal from your account you could end up in the same situation. Just a hassle to deal with a location that really doesn't care about their customers. A lot of extra follow up & trying to get your money back for their mistakes. There are other sites nearby that are much more user-friendly. Honesty, Not worth the trouble.

Quick check-in. Someone took us to our site. Sites are mostly gravel. Nice size considering in a resort area. Nice playground for kids. Large fenced dog park. Half dirt and half grass. Quiet park. River runs next to it. Has a couple places to access it. Did not check out restrooms.

I just spent 4 nights at this campgrounds with my 90 year old brother and we both loved it. We had a very roomy pull through site near a bath house, dog run and play area. It was very quite, which came as a welcomed surprise, the campers around us were all very respectful and helpful if we needed any. The office staff at check in and check out were super helpful and extremely polite. I have been camping since the mid 70’s and have seen few restrooms as clean and well maintained as these. The girls that cleaned the restrooms were there more than I was and always polite and courteous to our needs. GREAT WORK GIRLS! The site maintenance was excellent, as a matter-of-fact, as we were leaving a grounds person was on his way to cut the grass at the site. My brother was so impressed he wants to come back in the fall when the colors change. One last thing, this is a great campground and not a party ground. If you want to relax and not be bothered with unnecessary noise this place is GREAT! Thank you staff and keep up the superb work.

Perfect location for outside RMNP! Grounds were well maintained and staff was super friendly. Washers and dryers were also clean and worked well. Many activities for our toddler and a cool trail for the dogs. Beautiful setting by the river, we will be back!

I would give zero stars if possible. The wifi doesn’t work and there’s barely any service in the mountains, making use of cellular data near impossible. When we got to our spot, the water and electric both weren’t working and they neglected to tell us when we called earlier in the day. There are four very small showers in the bathhouse, one of which was out of order. The worst campground I’ve ever seen.
