Have stayed here two times. Could not ask for any better accommodations. Dave and Suzette are always willing to do more than expected.

I've been staying at South Fork Lodge and RV Park for about 4 years now and couldn't recommend it it more. I've stayed with buddies prior to going camping and with family. Dave and Suzette are great property owners an have made a significant effort to transform the place over the last four years. They are great hosts who treat you like family. This year I forgot a solar panel cable and had it shipped to their address. Unfortunately it did not arrive by the time we departed the lodge and went up into the Rio Grande National Forest, but Dave volunteered to bring it up to our camp site in the national forest. You can't really ask for better service. I look forward to many more stays in the future and catching up with Dave and Suzette.

The place was great to spend time with family. And right down the road from really anything you need. We all will be making this place a yearly family spot.

I cannot recommend this place enough. If I could give a thousand stars I would. These guys are so warm and welcoming. The cabins are lovely. Everything about our experience here immediately made it feel like a home away from home. The views around the cabin are beautiful. There’s a small walking trail right out front. Beautiful lakes near by. Rio grande within walking distance. The deer were my favorite part. At one point there were a herd of 20 out front. These guys deserve to be your first choice if you’re considering a stay in South Fork!!
