The beach area is great! Perfect for families, not much of the party atmosphere. We had a great time.

Rented a space for the weekend. Our AC went out in our personal travel trailer after office hours. The store staff provided us with contact information for mobile mechanics near by. Unfortunately none were able to make it out for the evening and the staff was kind enough to rent us a vacant trailer for the night. My family and I appreciated their hospitality and kind assistance.

I had a friend call to make a reservation and they asked for citizenship status. That sounds very illegal to me and very unprofessional. What type of place does that ???? Do not recommend if you are a person of color, as who knows how they might treat you. We have been going to this place for YEARS and always recommended it to others, but do not feel like they deserve any recommendations anymore. We will be looking for another place that isn’t openly and disgustingly racist like this place.

Worse place to stay at. They do not provide all the amenities they advertise. They cannot provide enough power to operate the air lights and refrigerated on a 26 foot travel trailer in the summer. I had my electrician friend come out to verify the problem and he said they need to upgrade their electrical system to the campground. The river front is the only thing that is good and Echo has nothing to do with that. If you stay here bring 2 generators.

I was happy with the river front beach it was nice sand to ŵalk in. The RV sights need new slabs of concrete and new picnic tables. I would recommend to the owners to also add shade to the riverfront spots as I would pay extra for. I walked to the bathroom and showers and would also recommend a remodel. But as a family fun place to camp we had a great time. The view and fishing were amazing. The pool was clean and blue as well. She just needs a bit of tlc. All in all, it's a great place to camp. We will be back.

Our first time in Parker and we came across Ecolodge. The pictures looked amazing. I am extremely disappointed,dissatisfied and angry. I paid $355 for two spots. I got charged early check in as well. All that is ok if the park would have been clean, WiFi, and better electricity. The place was absolutely filthy. I booked 3 days but left 1 day early. I just couldn’t take it. I’ve been to many state many parks and this one takes 1st place for the worst kept unclean park. I won’t ever visit them again.

Stayed this past weekend and the place is a blast! The rv was 5o ft from the water front. And just beautiful surroundings! However the place is crazy hard to get a hold of. Like it's almost impossible for some reason. The trailer we rented from them was really nice and stayed cool. However the toilet would not flush so only used it for pee. Also everytime we turned water on the water smelled so terrible like rotten eggs that smelt the entire trailer up. Will definitely stay again just in a third party rv rental.

This place has really gone down hill. We use to come every year and loved it , We took a break for a couple years and finally came back. The electrical kept tripping our breakers. We ended up having to run our generator the whole time even though there was full hookups. The cold water never got cold, only went from hot to warm. Club paradise use to have great food and atmosphere, No More. I would always order the wings because they were so good, Now it was moosh. The fries are different too. The burger was not good. What happened?? The menu is a lot smaller and all the cool drinks are no longer. So sad what has happened here

For the last 5 years my family an I have came here to enjoy the river, we love it here , my kids always look forward to this trip. It’s truly one of the best on the river RV. camping set up I’ve ever experienced. Every year the group keeps getting bigger an bigger, after seeing all the pictures an videos of us right on the river everyone wants to go! You got to get a river front site, that’s where it’s at. See you next you Echo lodge !!!

Recently this resort transitioned to new management, and I truly miss the old staff. I can say that I have enjoyed many wonderful memories here, but recently was berated over the phone by their office manager Tobi. When I asked for a change of date for our camping reservation, due to a family situation we were unable to prevent, Tobi refused to change our dates. I asked if she would email me the rules around reservations so I could review what options I might have. She told me she was the manager and she made the rules, and that she would keep my money if I was going to be snippy. I feel that if a client pays for a service or reservation, they have a right to understand the requirements. Incredibly poor service skills, I’ll definitely be staying at Emerald cove.
