Came for one week reservation. Nice location but not well maintained. I've seen better bathroom/shower facilities in an Army barracks. Needs renovation bad! RV spots not well maintained, uneven with very little to no gravel. Additionally, they do not allow any dog enclosures (small fences). They said it was because of Elk rutting... "the horns get stuck, animal control is called, they have to put down the animal and you get charged $2000. I did not see the limitation in the terms but it is there if you can find it. I missed it. Would have been helpful if it was stated next to the "pets" section in the reservation software. After 2 nights, we needed to go somewhere where the enclosures were allowed. I asked for at least a partial refund and they would not budge. Very disappointing. Will not return and I don't recommend it as a good or accommodating vacation spot.

We absolutely love this RV park in Estes Park. As Denver locals, we’ve stayed at quite a few campgrounds over the years, and this is the one we keep coming back to. The sites are bigger than most RV parks, which makes such a difference when you’re traveling with kids. The whole resort is super clean, including the bathrooms, laundry room, and common areas. You can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping everything nice. Our kids loved riding their bikes around the resort, and we always felt safe letting them explore a little on their own. The stocked trout pond was also a huge hit and made for a really fun, relaxing stay. The river running adjacent to the property is a plus. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect, close enough to town to get anywhere quickly, but still quiet and peaceful. There’s also the cutest little market within walking distance that came in handy more than once when we forget a few things from home. We seriously can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s become one of our favorite family spots, and we keep coming back every year.

I visited this park with my parents the last week of the season. The lots are small. There are no fire rings. Our lot did not have the picnic table that was supposed to be included. We had to ask for one and then we were asked multiple times if they could take it back because they wanted to get it done before the end of the season. Either you're open or you're not. There should not be less amenities than you pay for on the last week of the season. The WiFi was also shut off early for the season. Shout out to one staff member who let us use his personal WiFi for the week. He was great and is the only reason this review is getting two stars for service instead of one. The rest of the staff was rude and unhelpful. The laundry room was also closed three days before the last day. If things are not going to be available then there should be a deep discount for those days. The only standout about this location is that it is as close as you can get to Rocky Mountain National Park without staying in the park itself. I would not recommend staying here if you have another option.

Very nice, friendly and helpful staff. Large, flat sites each with a picnic table. Great views right along the river. Walking distance to several restaurants, a well-stocked local grocery store, gas station and gift shop. Near RMNP entrance. Would definitely return.
