Ute Bluff Lodge & RV Park | South Fork, CO

Pictures did not accurately reflect the reality.  Cabins are actually 3-plexes, not individual cabins.

No one was in the office the entire time of our stay.

Bathroom door didn’t shut right and could hardly be opened if you got it closed.

Half-eaten pizza was left in the fridge and wasn’t thrown away by the cleaning staff.

Toilet wouldn’t flush right.

One positive note-the bedroom was nice.

Me and my family are on a spontaneous trip and didn’t have anything planned. We needed somewhere to stay the night. I looked up spots on our way to our next destination and this place popped up. Great prices!! We got here late about 7pm went to the office to check in and they already had an envelope with my name on it the WiFi password and the key in it. It was perfect!!! Such a cute place, rooms are nice and clean. And the area we’re in is beautiful. If you’re ever in this area and need a place to stay fast, reasonably priced , and outdoorsy this is the place I’d recommend. Absolutely love it!!!

This place is great! It’s older, for sure, but clean and well maintained. We were a bit concerned about the lack of AC but even in August with lows in the 40s it was perfectly comfortable. Don’t let the rustic vibe or simple rooms throw you off. It’s perfect for what it is and a very good value.

Unacceptable Experience – No Staff, No Support, Still Charged

When we arrived, there was no staff on-site to check us in. A phone number was posted on the door, but no one answered. I called an alternate number listed through Booking.com, and the person I reached was incredibly rude and dismissive.

It is completely unacceptable to charge a guest's card with no one available for check-in and no reliable way to get assistance. After wasting time trying to reach someone, we had no choice but to leave and stay at the Lodge down the road.

I would not recommend this place based on the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and terrible customer service.

I don’t even know where to begin! Our room was not cleaned and the office was closed the whole time we was there, so to go to the management was out of the question! There was hair on the toilet seats, popcorn of the floor, mirror looked like it had been wiped with a dirty cloth! We had to wipe it down just so we could see in it! There was open soda left in the refrigerator, cup stains on the night stands which we wiped off, and oh my gosh the standing rotating fan was disgusting! We will never stay here again, the rv park looked horrible, definitely tell that things are not being taken care of or cleaned! Warning, the pictures on their website are nothing like the actual place!!

Both me and my wife stayed at the Ute Bluff Lodge, Cabins & RV Park about 6 months ago but the place was fine. I made a reservation via phone with someone named Clint for 7 days. Clint told us on the phone that he was working on the water in the campground but we thought it was minor based upon our experience 6 months ago and we were just going to use the water in the Recreation & Kitchen area. When we arrived after 12 PM the office was closed, the campground, lodge, and entire area was in a shambles. Our campsite #2 had large feces around where the electric hookup with exposed wiring was located, someone had been burning trash in a central area in front of our campsite because it was littered with burnt cans and other debris and other half burnt waste, there was no trash dumpster where it was before nor anywhere on the property, the lodge had holes out front of the building and was in a state of disrepair, essentially the place looked horrible. We went into the shared Recreation & Kitchen area believing we could just cook and wash our dishes there but found piles of decaying food and dirty dishes, pans, and pots in the sink. The kitchen countertop was strewn with dirty small appliances and the entire room had the toxic smelling odor. The bathroom adjacent to the Recreation & Kitchen area was filthy with a nasty bucket inside the shower enclosure, another bucket outside the shower enclosure, and a filthy rug. The place was probably unfit for human habitation and we worried whether we would contract some nasty disease just being inside. At this point, we decided to get our money back because it the first day Tuesday, April 22, 2025 of our reserved stay but when we tried to call Clint at (719) 873-5595 we were sent to voicemail so we left a message indicating that we could not safely stay at a campground without garage service and in the unsafe condition it was in so were requesting a refund. Never heard back from Clint after so we went to the Rio Grande Sheriff's Office to file a complaint. I wrote out the complaint and spoke with Deputy Barron Robinson at the Sheriff's Office located at 640 Cherry Street, Del Norte, CO 81132 (719) 588-0814. He said this kind of deception happened all the time and there was nothing he could do about it. On the following day Wednesday, April 23, 2025 I attempted to call Clint at (719) 873-5595 but was once again sent to voicemail where I left a message that I wanted my money back for the reservation that we had made at the Ute Bluff Lodge, Cabins & RV Park. We have never heard back from Clint or anyone associated with this seemingly defunct establishment.

We used to really like this place but our recent stay was absolutely awful.  I had heard that they changed ownership so I was willing to accept some roughness during the transition.  However, they overcharged me for the room pushing me over the edge so here is the whole review.

These are the problems we encountered:

1. They charged us $80 more than the original invoice.  The manager claims this was because we had 3 people in the room.  We only had the two of us who were there at the desk when we checked in.  They eventually refunded about $72 of that but it took significant arguing over the phone.  Normally I wouldn't complain about a billing error, but I did not like how I was treated when I called them to fix the error.

2.  The room smelled pretty bad.  Probably cigarette smoke but may have been other stuff too.

3. The shared kitchen was unusable.  Most of what you would need to cook or eat was missing.  The stuff that was there was damaged to the point where it wasn't usable.  See the photo of the silverware drawer that contains only knives and no forks or spoons.  Also the scratched Teflon pans and trash can that was never emptied the entire time we were there.

We LOVE this place. You actually speak to a nice person when you call-its not ran by a giant corporation! We have never been disappointed about a single thing staying here, and we stay here often, especially during ski season!
Its affordable, clean, friendly, and close to Wolf Creek Ski Resort. We recently got on the road later than expected and Ute Bluff Lodge was the ONLY place that even answered their phone and booked us a cozy room we checked into at 3am. The best part was the temperature was a perfect 70° in our room, as it was 5° outside during white out conditions! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

Came to South Fork Colorado for a short ski trip. My daughter found this gem. It's an older RV Park, cabins and single rooms with kitchenette. It was very clean, beds comfortable. Clint was and awesome employee there. We needed extra towels, we got them. Extra soap and paper towels we got them. We needed them to open our room for our son since we were not there, they did. Definitely coming back to this place

This place is false advertising there prices   ! Online prices are $37.00 bucks but when you go to book a room it's 4 to 5 times that much just have one question for the managers or owners why advertise $ 37 Bucks when your location doesn't have anything for $37 bucks and nobody in that area doesn't have anything even close to that price please explain your bull $ 37 Bucks my opinion poor business tactic. Didn't want to even give a one star but you have to give something to send feedback.

Very nice facilities, clean rooms, very friendly staff.
