HIGHLY recommend!!! This RV park is a gem!! It's clean, does are very nice and the price is very reasonable. It's far enough from the road that the sites are really quiet. It's close to Buena Vista and all this area had to offer. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit!

I have been living full time in my RV for over 3 years at Snowy Peaks. The service is excellent, very friendly and helpful staff. The park and all the amenities are kept up very well and it's located near enough to towk to be very convenient, yet far enough to not feel the hustle and bustle of town. Highly recommend staying here whether full time or short term.

My dog and I stayed for 3 nights in the primitive camping site. We had a gorgeous view of the mountains in the distance and the park was pretty quiet. There were adorable little chipmunks all over the place and they were really fun to watch. We got the telescope out the first night and the sky was beautiful. The showers were acceptable and had ample space to hang towels and bags and lay clothing out. The staff was so very warm and down to earth and kind. While we were gone, no one messed with any of my stuff and everyone kept to themselves. There was a porta potty right next to the exit of the primitive tent site and it was really nice I didn't have to go too far to use it. The only thing I will say is make sure if you are tent camping to have very sturdy, strong stakes with a mallet. The ground is pretty much entirely rock so it did take us a while to find the perfect spot to be able to drive the stakes all the way into the ground. It was very windy as well so it is important to be able to make sure the stakes are in the right spot. I had zero complaints. We really enjoyed our time there!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very positive experience at Snowy Peak. The staff was kind, welcoming, and truly made me feel like part of the community during my stay. They showed genuine care for their customers and campers, and that meant a lot to me. Their helpfulness, warmth, and professionalism made a stressful time much easier. It’s rare to find people who go out of their way to make others feel comfortable and supported. I’m very grateful for the kindness I received here and would gladly recommend Snowy Peak to anyone looking for a place with caring people and a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you very much! ❤️
