Reservations not honored, staff rude and not helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great campground if you like Estes Park or the Rocky Mountain Nat`l Park. The older help was very good and friendly. The younger help needs training on dealing with customers, simple things like someone asking for change for the paper. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent one night here after the Labor Day weekend and the park was not very crowded. The end of the row spot we were assigned would have given us an unimpeded mountain view from our left side. Unfortunately, the site was occupied: that camper had evidently taken the wrong site. We ended up in what was supposed to be their site with a view of them instead of the mountains. Not a big deal but I have to wonder whether or not the other camper knew they were taking the wrong site because of the view. Still, it is the park's responsibility to make sure that customers have taken the assigned sites. The park has good facilities (FHU, cable TV, Wi-Fi and a pool (unusual for this area))and the sites are decent. There are 360 degree mountain views from everywhere in the park. You can walk (less than a mile) to the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center of Rocky Mountain NP to the west and several restaurants to the east. Nice enough park, but we decided to try one of the other RV parks in the area for our second day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Way over priced; dusty, windy, unlevel and very poor dirt interior roads. $3.50/day for 50 amp power, $2.50/day for cable, and of course 9.7% Co. sales tax. It is on the side of a hill with hook ups in poor condition. Haven't seen other Estes Park RV parks but have read they are also poor. Of course the national park is worth seeing! Good luck. I won't return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a fairly nice park. We made our reservation in August 2008, and requested a 50 amp site. When we arrived we found that we had been assigned a 30 amp site. At first the staff was unwilling to do anything about it because the Labor Day holiday was just a few days away and they were fully booked. We pulled into the assigned site and I went back to the office to try again. This time, I got someone who was more than willing to help. We were moved to a nice, shady, 50 amp site. My recommendation to anyone wanting to stay here is to get a written confirmation of your site requests. Also, the best views are in row F, sites 28 through 16. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our first stay here (4 nights) but will not be our last. Staff - excellent! We were first given a site where the tree limbs were going to be a problem for us trying to level. They immediately gave us another site (Row C) at top of hill (no trees as we requested), and it was great!! Easy to level, too. Restrooms and showers clean and close by. Close to National Park. We will stay here in the future. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

The best thing about this campground is its proximity to the Rocky Mountain NP. The entrance is literally just around the corner. We were in G row which has an incredible view of Longs Peak. The bathrooms were clean and there were an adequate number of bath houses. The grounds could use some upkeep but the location outweighs the disadvantages. There were some problems with barking dogs but anymore we seem to encounter that wherever we are. The sites are fairly close together but not on top of each other. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The description of the cabin was very misleading on their website, and by phone. Cabin is maybe 12' by 12'. The hide-a-bed was terrible: bunks were ok for kids, however when the hide-a-bed is folded-out, you cannot get out of cabin unless you crawl over it. This has to be a safety and fire hazard. No table in the cabin but they have a picnic table outside...which is ok unless its raining. Very dusty, and no air conditioning. I complained on Wednesday about the poor sleeping conditions: we were planning on staying til Friday. The host could only offer us half of our money back. I would not recommend anyone staying in one of their cabins. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Stayed at Elk Meadows the last of July, very close to RMNP entrance. Cable TV was great, did have some issues with Wi-Fi, Elk Meadows said the weather was the cause. Had to spend time leveling my trailer. Enjoyed our stay and would come again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location and beautiful views. Basic place to stay if visiting Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Charge extra for 50 amp and cable TV. Spaces are carved out of hillside. Our spot did not allow you to sit on the side of unit, sloped too much. All roads and spaces are dirt. DUST - everywhere. After a week you could even taste it. High rates because of location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Called the RV park about 6 hours out and asked if there was a possibility of a reservation that night for five days. Lady took phone number and said she would check and call back. Be patient. Two hours later she called back. There was only one space left... a back-in rather than a pull through but they would help me back in. Upon arrival lady at registration quite helpful. Great site at rear of RV park with 15+ feet between units. Noticed other sites some what more crowded. Cable TV had many channels and WiFi had strong signal. But WiFi is secured with a password and nothing was said about that at registration. Had to return to get password. Our site virtually abutted National Park boundary. Sites all gravel with little leveling needed. Few sites with trees or shade. Absolutely fabulous view of the mountains. Bathrooms and showers very clean and modern. Easy access to the RMNP and to town. RV park had a Friday and Saturday night buffet with entertainment with a dance following at $50 per couple. Make reservations for dinner early as reservations fills early. This seems to be the place to stay in Estes Park. We were in a 29 foot travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We lived in Estes Park 1995-2003 & stored here; this is our third trip back. I have always said that Elk Meadow is not a great RV park but it is the best in Estes. I still feel that way. But I also feel it has gone downhill a great deal. On the positive side it is very close to RMNP, has many activities, has great views which means not too many trees, etc. When we were here last year they acknowledged the WiFi was bad and the manager sent me an email when we got home and said a whole new system had been put in and was great. Well, we are here for a month this year - 3 weeks to go - and the WiFi is marginal at best; they even told me in the office that their speed is low and they get dropped off. It is dusty - it is gravel. Yes, there are ruts and the sites are uneven -- 3 orange blocks worth. Cable is $2.50 / night; I set up the Dish. The Hot tub spa is now working again; it was down for a while. This says something. The manager & spouse and 3 work camping couples all quit and left about July 1st. Don't know details and not sure I want to but you can imagine staff issues right now. The new manager has just been hired; local person. Before she came they gave me the name of the owners to call with several items and he seemed nice enough but nothing changed. One major concern is that there is very marginal cell phone service here. They removed the only outside pay phone by the office. There is no way to call out once the office / lodge has closed and this, to me, is a serious issue in case of emergency. There is nothing posted on the office as to whom to contact on site in case of an emergency. I brought this to the attention of the staff here and the owner rep a week ago and they basically have ignored it and did not get back to me on it as promised. But ........ I would stay here again as it is the best place in town! Honest. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Did not see the ruts that were talked about earlier. We had a nice site, beautiful views of the RMNP. Very quiet and clean. It was in need of some TLC, but other than that it was fine. Could use more trees. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had reservations for 5 nights at this park. The park had charged one nights stay for confirmation. My husband had a bad motorcycle accident and we were unable to travel. I called the park right away (over a month before our reservation) and was told there would be a $20 cancellation fee. I was okay with that. When I didn't receive the refund, I called again and was told they did not give refunds for any reason. She actually told me that another camper had died and they would not refund their money either! Seems like a very unreasonable policy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 10 nights. Would stay here again. It is the largest RV park in the area, and as far as I am concerned it is the only choice for us. The other parks appeared to be too cramped and hard to get a big rig in and out of. Not this one. Plenty of room. Appears to be an older RV park, mostly with gravel. Our site had no trees, but we did not find it to be an issue. Stunning moountain views, including Long's Peak. Bathrooms and showers were spotless. We had to pay extra for cable tv, but was worth it, as we got as many channels as we could handle. Wifi was available, and we accessed it each day of our stay. As other folks have posted, this park is literally at the entrance to Rocky Mountain Natl. Park. You can walk to the visitor center, as it is about a mile down the road. Moreover, you are also about 15 min. walking distance from a few shops and a small grocery. Bottom line: recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. The office staff was still getting their act together and it took us forever to get checked in even though we were the first in line. The WIFI was in and out, and mostly not available. The office staff was apparently not really familiar with the campground because they sent us up a roadway that made access to our site much worse than if we came in from the opposite direction. We've stayed here a number of times because of the location and we're going here again soon. Hopefully the staff will be more efficient. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I ditto comment on Aug 08. I rated this campground low because the management was not customer friendly. The few staff were more helpful and friendly than the management. I always got the voice message machine when trying to call them for more directions. Don't bother waiting for a return call back until the next day when the staff gets messages off. There are deep ruts in the road and in most of the campsites. We had a hard time getting our water hose on because of the poor condition of the hook up. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had to rate this a eight based on location right outside the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, the mountain views, and the friendly work campers who checked us in with smiles and jokes and filled us in on useful local info. The campground itself shows neglect of a onetime very nice facility. The dinky pool was closed but looked liked it needed a lot of long deferred maintenance. Sites were eroded and uneven gravel with slope impacted weedy side yards. If you plan on spending most of the time away visiting Rocky Mountains National Park this is best choice from a very bad selection Estes commercial campgrounds. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Typical campground with gravel roads in large sloped field. Very helpful staff. Guided to campsite. Plenty of space between sites. Excellent view of Longs Peak from site F15. Tall pine trees in row F. Laundromat was very clean, large and inexpensive. Herd of Elk wandered through campgrounds one evening - rut season. Conveniently located near Rocky Mountain National Park Beaver Meadows entrance. Acceptable WiFi reception at site F15 with two antenae in campground. Camped with a 34' 5th wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Where's the elks? From their website, you would think that elks everywhere in the campground. Wrong, we didn't see any elks in the area except at the RMNP. Good location but that's it. This is basically a big dirt parking lot. Yes, it would accommodate any size of rig but it's on a gentle hill. Extra kid? that would be $5 per night. Want 50amp? $3.50 extra. Cable is $2.50. We stayed four nights and the bill adds up quickly. If you stay in a tent, you get a fire pit but not for an RV site. What is the logic to that? The only thing we like is the heated pool, but it was so crowded during the summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First the positives: This campground is right outside the gates of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The campsites are long and relatively level with a reasonable amount of space between them. The view of the surrounding mountains is very beautiful. The bathrooms and the swimming pool are clean. Now the negatives: This campground is on the side of a hill, and there is no shade. My biggest complaint is that they advertised WiFi service and didn't provide it. If it weren't for this, I would have given eight stars, but since they advertised Wifi and didn't provide it, they only get five stars. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is basically a big field you park in with dirt roads, not even gravel. Any car driving through the park, stirred up a cloud of dust that floated through your campsite. The WiFi didn't work, the bathrooms were below average, and the bathroom/showers in the back were uni-sex. It is in a great location right by the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and it has some nice views of the nearby mountains. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Best location for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park if you are not staying in the park. The front office seemed very hassled during our visit. They were having problems with the Wi-Fi and were very tired of answering questions. The sites are large enough for any rig. While the parking area is fairly level, the sides of the sites slope very badly, almost dangerous to walk on after dark. Easy in and out for any size rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pretty much agree with last posted comments except that there is not a charge for the TV. If you have a 5er with back window as for Row G; then you get a great view of Long's Peak. Laundry is excellent. Lots of activities. Roads could use some improvement but no real big deal. The WiFi is terrible -- you are on and off and on and off. However, this is the best park in Estes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed in this park before and it is our preferred park in the Estes Park area. Our rate ($43) reflects the Good Sam rate during peak season -- and it would be more for 50amp service or cable TV (check the web site). On the positive side -- The sites are further apart than the other RV parks, and that is the main reason we stay here. We have a 33' 5th Wheel and this is the easiest RV park to navigate, and there is plenty of room for larger rigs. The pool and hot tub are clean and well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful, and lead you to your site. The showers/bathrooms next to the pool are clean (there is another set up the hill that we didn't check out). This is the closest RV park to the Rocky Mtn National Park entrance. On the negative side -- Some of the sites are getting uneven and some have erosion which require more than "normal" leveling. Except for one row of sites, all sites are out in the open and therefore subject to the wind and dust. The wireless was very spotty -- ok at times but with numerous dropouts so as to make it very frustrating to use. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The scenic views of the mountains were spectacular. The pull-thru spots were easy to access. My biggest problem with the park was all the Elk scat on the ground. You couldn't help but step on Elk scat everytime you went outside. For me, I wouldn't go back until this condition was remedied. Other people may not have a problem with it, however. If this doesn't bother you, the park is fine. The location is especially good as a base for seeing Rocky Mountain National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Read other reviews. I specifically asked about wifi before reserving. When we booked in, no mention was made of the fact that wifi was not operating nor had it been for some time. We really, really needed wifi for business. Not happy, should have informed us before check in as we would have gone elsewhere. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The best thing about this park is that it is the closest park to the entrance to Rocky Mountain NP at Estes Park. Despite advertising the availability of wifi, I was told when we checked in on Sunday that it was not working. I was told that it would be fixed on Tuesday. I asked at the office on Tuesday morning and was told it would be fixed Tuesday or Wednesday. It still was not working when we left on Thursday. Obviously, wifi is not a priority item with this park's management. The park is built on the side of a hill. An attempt was made to level the individual campsites, but ours was not level. It seemed that each site was also occupied by a ground squirrel den. The squirrels were enjoyable to watch. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were here at the end of the season, so most of the park's facilities were closed. There’s not much grass in the park - it was very windy and we felt like we were in a dust bowl. However, the park is located next door to the entrance of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. The sites are gravel and ours was level, the cable and wifi worked great. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we were escorted to our site. The laundry room had plenty of washers and dryers and the cost was very reasonable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second visit here, not a bad little campground! We did have some reservation problems, we booked a specific site several months in advance, but were put in a different spot on arrival. When I complained, they said it was all they had. No individual fire pits, but we could use our propane campfire. Was a bit windy, so be aware of leaving your awning out. Mini golf was fun as was the pool area. This place needs a little more staff supervision. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is at entrance to Rocky Mountain Park. Roads and sites are gravel. Good cable TV and WiFi. Nothing fancy, but excellent entry point to Park. Very helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is a reason why this campground is named Elk Meadows; that’s exactly what it is. The campground sits on a mountain meadow, however, there’s not much grass in most of the Rockies, so don’t get your hopes up. However, we saw elk in and around the campground just about every evening, so be careful when you are driving through the area. The park is located at the edge of Estes Park and it’s next door to the entrance to RMNP. The sites are gravel and ours was level, as were the three others traveling with us. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we were escorted to our sites, we were all parked together and the cable TV and WiFi worked great. After looking at most of the other campgrounds in the area, if you have a big rig, this is just about the only one in the area that will work. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this campground, which has a beautiful setting at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a gorgeous view out the window of our 5th wheel. We had a spacious pull-thru in the "G" row, which is on the west side of the park. Not all sites were as spacious. There was very little road noise and it was extremely quiet at night. The staff was friendly and efficient. Guests are escorted to their sites. We did not use the 50 amp, WiFi, Cable TV or the restrooms so cannot comment on those amenities. The pool and spa were closed and we did not ask why. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was very close to the entrance to the RMNP and had great views. There was a bit of elaboration on their website as to exactly what the campground offered. "Perks Coffee Bar" was just expensive cups of coffee you added your own sugar/creamer to, the ice cream and snack shoppe were donuts and a chest freezer with ice cream sandwiches etc. We spent a week there and hoped to sit in the hot tub at least one night due to the walking/hiking we were planning to do, but the hot tub was not functioning and had not been functioning for a while (and was never repaired during our week long stay). The kids enjoyed the mini-golf, small arcade and pool. We are accustomed to space in between our sites and this campground offered no space and no grass. We traveled with another family and when they opened their slide out and we opened our awning we were touching each other. The campsites are gravel and extremely tight, NO campfires, (except in the tent sites), only reason I can figure is because there would be a domino effect if one camper caught fire. I would not recommend this campground if you don't want to know your neighbors well and had planned on spending any time at the campsite, it's basically a place to sleep at night. There is a $2 a day cable charge and also a $2 per person charge if you have more than 2 people in your camper. We spent over $400 for 8 nights. We did find the staff to be friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

View is spectacular, pull throughs are long and level, great base camp for doing the Rocky Mountain National Park and other activities around Estes Park CO. WIFI seems to work well, cable has a good picture. The only drawback is that access roads are dirt, but they are wide, 2 units can pass on each road, you don't see that in many places and sites are gravel that really could be redone. Infrequent trees, this is a sun spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We love the location, but the sites are not shady, they sit right out in the open. They are very busy though, as they are close to RMNP and Estes Park. Their wifi leaves something to be desired. We were right across the road from the bathroom where the antenna was located, and still had trouble getting connected. The pool is nice as well as the lodge. Think they take advantage though by charging $4/nite extra for over two people in the rv, and extra for 50 amp service. This is getting to be more common and I don't think it's right. You pay for a site with water, sewer and electricity. Most motels don't charge extra for your kids. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The view of the Rocky mountains is great from most every site. The camp ground is a dump. Very tight and uneven sites, our door faced our neighbor's door and the electric, water and cable were between us. About 5 feet behind us was another RV. We made our reservations about 2 months ahead for 3 campers together and that didn't happen. The staff doesn't know the difference between 30 and 50 amp service or, don't care. The buildings seem to be in good repair but no attention is being given to the RV sites as they are going down hill in more ways than one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here 3 nights and then moved to Colorado Springs, wished we'd stayed longer here. The kids loved the heated pool, horseshoes and the lodge for the ice cream. It was too dry to allow campfires, but the campground has a nightly fire by the office, great time to visit with other campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is in a great location - at the entrance to Rocky Mt. National Park. It is a large, well-run campground at the foot of the mountains on the outskirts of Estes Park, CO. There are a couple of shady sites, but most are in the sun. The hot-tub was not operational while we were there ("waiting for parts"), but the pool was nice and well used. The staff were very helpful and available. Evening programs (slide shows, music, karaoke, bingo, etc.) are provided almost every night. The city has a shuttle which stops at the campground and drops off most places in Estes Park. Restrooms are clean and well stocked. Many pull throughs and easily maneuverable by big rigs - most unit there were large motorhomes and fifth wheels, with a few smaller units and tents. The only complaint was that the WiFi was "hit or miss", available in the morning while in our rig, yet later in the day, one would have to go near the office and make the connection. We would gladly return to Elk Meadows. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My wife and I are fairly new to the RV world. I wish all the campgrounds we have stayed at were of this caliber. The staff was pleasant and the facility was clean and well kept. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is in a great location. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park, close to Estes Park for shopping. The staff is so helpful and professional. Pool, bathrooms, showers, grounds are all spotless and well maintained. From our experience, you can disregard the previous review regarding the bad roads. Yes, they are gravel. Yes, the facility is designed into a hill. We experienced a moderate rain one night while we were there and it was evident that the rain did create some small ruts and erosion in the roads. Within hours the next morning a park staff person had regraded all of the roads with a small tractor and the roads were in great shape by noon. I was impressed. We camped here as a family and loved it. Except for spoty wifi(which they are working to improve) you can't go wrong here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Even though it was rather expensive, we spent several days in this park because it was the only one we could easily get our 40' motorhome into. The sites ARE close together and are in a terrace formation so you have a rig above and below you. When it rains, and it rains every day, whatever is in the site above you ends up in your site. Also, if the people below you are partying, it is like they are in your bedroom. The roads are very bad and that is because of the rain. The entire campground is on a huge slope and the water rushes down through the campground. One storm washed out a ditch 3' wide and 2' to 3' deep all the way down our row behind our rig. We could not have crossed it if we had to leave. The campground crew filled in the ditch which I'm sure washed out during the next storm. This problem has to be addressed with culverts or something. The sites were level. The pool was rather cool, but the hot tub was very nice. In the office they said they always have a problem with their WiFi and we were never able to connect. Some people took their laptops to the rec. room to connect, but the campground is very large and you shouldn't have to carry your laptop to the office if "free WiFi" is advertised. We would camp here again because it is the only park we can fit into in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Big park but sparse terrain. Located on a sandy and rocky hillside. No shade trees on our side. Nice pool and playground. Laundry facilities clean enough and maintained and regulated (process kept moving on a busy day). Park offers evening entertainment that we did not participate in. Propane filling available. Management had some difficulty in helping with a request to change sites one over beside friends but eventually did work out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While this campground has beautiful views, it has, without a doubt, the worst streets and roads I have seen in 35 years of camping. The "streets" are not gravelled but are nothing but dirt and sand. The streets have huge ruts and washouts, and ditches run in front of many of the pull through sites. It appears that erosion is wasting away the streets but they are doing nothing about it. You could break an axle in this place quite easily. The wi-fi is useless. It reaches very few sites yet they claim they have wi-fi. Not true. Not a good place, but it could be with some work! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have read previous reviews and disagree with the negative posts. My husband and I found ourselves in need of a campsite as the one I had booked at another campground was too small for our 29 foot fifth wheel. The staff at Elk Meadows was incredibly helpful and accommodating in every aspect of our stay. Yes, the roads are gravel (or dirt) however, it appears this area of Colorado at this time of the year was suffering a drought and it certainly wasn't the campground's fault that the area was dusty. I found the sites to be large enough and I would certainly not call it "rig-to-rig" close. The campground which we could not get into was "rig-to-rig" close. This was not. The views were reason we came to this part of the country and we were not disappointed. I would definitely come back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The folks running the park seemed a little "stand-offish". Don't know if they were tired, or had a long season or what. Site they gave us on Row G, was just dirt. They claimed it was premium. We requested a site across the road with a large pine tree, and it seemed to really put them out. Dog policy is very strict, but not enforced. Our dog on a leash 100% of the time, while others roamed freely. The extra charges for 50 amp, or cable TV a little insulting. $1.25 for a can of soda seemed a little high. However, probably the best area to stay since the competition was not close. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice RV Park. A little on the expensive side but about average for this area. The sites are large and level. We had ample room and did not see any sites where it would be difficult to put out an awning as indicated by a previous review. Also, the playground equipment looked new. This is the closest RV park to the Beaver Meadow entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park; easy to get into and out of. There are not very many trees, which we like because we have satellite TV and Internet. Most sites have a great view of the mountains. The people working here were very friendly and helpful. We will stay here again the next time we come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Elk Meadow campground is just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was very clean, and staff was friendly and helpful. The activities and ice cream social was entertaining. The campground also offers Sunday morning bible reading which was nice for someone who doesn't know the area. From our site we could see the mountains with the eagles flying over it, which for us created a very relaxing time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice view from any campsite in campground. Restrooms and showers were very clean, nice and friendly people running the place. My biggest complaint is the size of each campsite and the lack of shade. It pretty much looks like a used rv dealership. No room to put out an awning. But the pool was brand new and very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived in early June when the weather wasn't great. The campground wasn't ready for summer visitors and there wasn't anyone around. The facilities are in good condition and the one staff person we met was very nice. Our biggest problem was the playground. It is in terrible condition and even had broken glass on the ground. We will not go back to this park because of the horrible playgrouund. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Don't be fooled by the photos, this campground is basically a grass parking lot, with rv's parked end to end and row by row. I guess you can see the mountains if you get away from your camper and walk to the end of the road. Sites are fairly close together; you can see into your neighbor's rig if you look out the window. Sparse, young trees. Staff kind of friendly but did not seem to like kids, were rather uppity. It was too cold in June to use the pool, but it looked nice. Very clean and nice laundry facilities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very close to RMNP entrance and a nice place to stay. Good pet walk area. Pretty muck open ground with fairly level gravel sites. Very nice people and a good view of the mountains from some sites. Sort of dusty though as the interior roads are gravel/dirt. Elk walk thru frequently. I would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A pretty nice campground, nice level spots with plenty of space between spots. Some limited shade, but pretty much open space. Can sometimes be susceptible to wind, but not as bad as other locations in Estes Park. Nice clean restrooms, well kept. Not much of a playground for the kids. Meeting hall available for large groups. There's a separate area for tenters, and you will likely see a lot of Elk in the campground! Staff is very friendly. Looks like they had a swimming pool at one time, but it has since been filled in -- too bad -- that would really add to this campground. We camped here in a 1999` .

We were very disappointment with Mary's Lake CG in Estes Park. Our hookups were electricity and water with a charge of $42. The sites were all gravel, none paved. The restrooms were clean, but the showers are in dire need of updating. The overall appearance of this CG was not good. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This is our second time at staying in this park. We only stayed for the weekend and reserved a spot the on upper part of the campground, offering only electric and water but more space. We have Verizon phones and had little or no signal. The campground does offer cable TV, which worked well. Staff is very friendly and the campground is kept up pretty well. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was very clean and had great play space for kids including a neat natural rock area, play scape, pool, and game room. I would have given it an 8, but the Wi-Fi service was poor - I was trying to work remotely and could not get a good signal from my camper. I would literally have to walk and sit outside near the shower area (within 20 yards) to get decent coverage. I camped several other places where this was not a problem, so it was not my computer. The sites are very close together. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We checked out a day early and they would not refund the measly $22 from the weekly rate, but apparently "no refunds" was in the fine print. Nevertheless, this left me with a bad taste. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A pretty crowded gravel pull through set up. We could barely get our slides out we were so packed in. As usual, work campers made it enjoyable. If you are seeing the sites and looking for a place to sleep this is ok. Not a destination campground to spend time in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is pretty good, but it is a bit small for some bigger units. If you are lucky, you can pull your RV through, and not have to mess with backing into a site. It is tough to back in if you have large RV (unless you are in one of the upper level sites). The water went out while we were there, but that was okay since we filled up our water tank. There were some noisy campers nearby (insisted on watching TV outside with the volume turned up), but they wrapped up by midnight. A big Confederate flag that one of the campers (I think it was one of the workers) had displayed put me off a bit. If this offends you more than it did me, you may want to check and see if it is still there. Disregarding the tenants at the CG, I thought it was very nice location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here as a result of our other choices for campgrounds being full. The checkin was excellent. We were towing a 25 foot car trailer and they allowed us to unhook and stow the trailer in a lower parking area. Everything was fine. We were guided into our pull through space. Nice cement slab w/ picnic table. Fire ring (yes,its an old tire rim). it provided for a couple excellent fires during our stay. Now for the unpleasant part. My sister-in-law, from Denver, came to stay with us a couple nights. We had told the managers she was coming and they were "OK" with her checking in later. She arrived, paid her additional fee and told the management that she needed directions to site 52. Fred told her that wasn't right cuz his trailer was in #52. Fred is a seasonal worker...Colorado in the summer and Mesa, AZ in the winter. Fred said he has been in #52 for several years..."That's his site." My sister didn't know what to say. She reiterated that we were in #52. Fred became rude and told her that he would not escort her to #52 cuz that was his site. Another worker asked Fred's wife, who was the check-in lady, what site they were in. She said #51. Fred just said "Oh." No apology, no admission of being wrong, just "Oh." Another employee escorted my sister to SITE #52. Fred's attitude and actions were and are not acceptible to us. I've also read other reviews of Mary's Lake Campground, where one of the workers is referred to as "the grumpy man". The owners need to counsel Fred to lighten up, or he should find other employment. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is hilly and dusty. The sites are dirt. There are a few trees, but even the planters were fills with a only a few weeds. Prairie dogs lined the road and dumpster area. We only used the bathroom once and didn't check the showers. This area is close to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The hiking is wonderful and downtown Estes Park is beautiful with a wonderful river walk along the Big Thompson River. We enjoyed our stay but welcomed the gravel roads and trees at our next stop. People in town were friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I do not recommend this campground at all. We camped here with 6 groups and we were placed in a loop with 70s/80s numbers with the "basketball court" inside it. Its a joke, the "court" is just a very tiny slab of concrete, and the loop is just one big gravel pit. No joke! Its a gravel parking lot, the fire pits are old tire rims and useless for anything but a lousy fire as the wind is so strong you can't feel the heat from it anyway. The front office only told certain groups in our party about the wind and to not use their awnings, so the 2 of us who weren't told had ours ripped off by the wind the very first night. We've never experienced a night like that (the group as a whole) and it was extremely frightening. The wind was so bad, we waited all night for our pop-ups (all but one of us had them) to collapse on top of us. Nobody got any sleep at all that night other than the group with an RV. The office told me it was not all that unusual of a night if you can believe that! The sites are so close together that the RV party could reach out and touch their neighbors. There was a party down below where the sites seemed a bit nicer, that had about 30 people in it and they had a horribly vicious pit bull which was very unnerving for all of us to have to walk by each time we went to the bathroom. And speaking of that, you have to walk through other peoples' sites to get the bathroom, its completely unavoidable and uncomfortable walking directly through their campground. The bathroom was okay, but I heard a lot of complaints about the lack of regulated temperature in the shower. But a nice big bathroom with lots of mirror space and plenty of room for many women to get ready. Mary's Lake is pretty, but very small and for us was not good fishing at all. You walk over a 2-lane highway to get to it, if you have small children, definitely bring a stroller with good wheels for a rough terrain. Even for the parking lot you will be camping in as well! Overall this place is highly highly overpriced, and they should be charging closer to $10-15/night at the most, regardless of the hook-ups. We are avid campers, but try to avoid these KOA type campgrounds for exactly this reason. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have camped here every Sept. for the last 5 years. We find the staff to be friendly and helpful. We had a nice large pull-thru site with cement slab for picnic table. Beautiful views. Close to town and Rocky Mountain National Park. Mary's Lake is across the road and offers great trout fishing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First of all, we should have read the other reviews before we went to this campground. It would have saved us the drive, the time and meeting the very rude and belligerent staff. I know that I was late when I was looking for a campground with free sites 3 days before Labor Day. I thought I would give it a try. I read that this campground had a 3-day minimum but when they called me and told me that they had a free campsite they didn't mention it. I booked only one night. I booked the campsite for the regular rate of $27. We got there in the afternoon. At check-in the staff was friendly and the soon to be grumpy guy would show us our site. Getting there I immediately noticed that there was no picnic-table. The grumpy guy didn't have an answer for that. Further, we noticed that our campsite was far from flat. There was no leveled surface as all other sites on the campground had. I called the office and asked about the picnic-table. I also mentioned that our site wasn't leveled and that it didn't make sense that we paid the regular rate. At this point the lady mentioned that this was an overflow campsite (interesting to know!) and that there was a credit to be processed. We would only pay $20. I told her that a picnic-table is one of the most important things when camping. She told me that we would get a table but then we would have to pay the full rate. Once again I told her that this site isn't flat at all and paying the full rate wouldn't be justified. On the phone, she told me that this is all she could do. After waiting for the picnic-table to arrive (it was about dinner time) for over 45 minutes, we went to the office. Long story short, the whole staff insisted that this site was as flat as any other site and that if I got a table we would have to pay the full rate. Now comes the best part which proves the belligerent behavior. They threatened to call the deputy if I didn't stop complaining. Eventually we left without staying for the night. This campground is all but crappy. Already at the campground I said camping on a parking lot would be nicer. The campground operator is lucky to have the Rocky Mountain National park nearby. This must be an overflow campground. I'm sure that all other campgrounds fill up first. Rather visit some other place. We camped here in a Tent.

This campground is situated across the street from Mary's Lake. My son and his friend had a great time fishing here. Many locals come here to fish. The campsites are OK with no shade, but the views they offer from each site of the surrounding Rocky Mountains are beautiful. The pool, arcade for the kids, and laundry room well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful locating places to see. There's a RMNP shuttle service pickup and drop off right in front of the campground. No need to drive into the park if you don't want to. The city of Estes Park is just down the street with many options for shopping and eating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I'll never stay in this campground again. The sites are narrow, it is dusty, and because of the closeness of the sites it is noisy. They advertise wifi, but the wifi (Linkspot) was so inconsistent that we never knew if we could access the internet or not. Would have checked out the next day but for their policy of "No refunds after check-in." Office staff was very inefficient. Stay anywhere else if you can! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We stayed here in early June. The RV sites are all out in the open with no shade, and are all back-in. They are somewhat close together (look at the picture on their web site). On our row of sites, and it appeared similar on the other rows, the sewer connection was at the rear of our trailer, and was somewhat uphill. This made it very difficult to drain our tanks. The WiFi is through some 3rd party company and expensive -- so we didn't even try to use it. The staff was friendly, and they hosted an ice cream social one evening. The campsites for pop-ups and tents are much more inviting, since many of them are tucked back in the trees and boulders. Overall, this is just an "OK" campground since there are better in the Estes Park area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had reservations in this campground, but when we arrived after they closed, which they were aware of, we couldn't believe the condition of the whole campground. The campers and motorhomes were all over the place in what appeared no particular order. The whole place was nothing but different levels of dusty dirty ruts. We thought we were in a rv junkyard. When we finally found our site, we realized it was too narrow for us to back into. All of the sites were like this. We pulled out and found a parking lot to stay in the for the night. I called in the mornnig to talk to management. She was very belligerent, agreeing that it was a narrow site but we should have came to her trailer and spoke to her. We had no idea where that was we just knew we had no intentions of staying in a place like that. She told us she would not refund us our money for the night . Don't be fooled by the rating in the trailer life directory - this place is a joke. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here for 2 nights on one of their rustic pop-up sites that had a couple of shade trees. We had reserved 2 sites as some other family members were camping with us in a tent and had no problem getting adjoining site. The view is nice but there is not much to do at the campsite. There is a small playground but the kids had more fun playing on the rock formations. The pool is small but still good on a hot day. The lake was a good walk away up a hill and across the street. The staff was nice and helpful. We had a good view of the RV area and it looked like a cramped parking lot with no shade. It kind of reminded me of a can of sardines. I would stay here again in a tent or pop-up where I could camp on one of their treed sites but would not want to come here in a longer trailer or RV where I would have to stay in the RV area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Terrible camping park. Packed in like cows. Can barely get camper out if someone is parked next to you. Requested a pull-through 2 months in advance and when we arrived, were told none were available. Office staff was nice but workers were rude. Suggest getting a written confirmation on a pull-through with the camp site number. We will not stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground has a nice view but you are lined up like cattle in the sites. My biggest complaint is they dare charge 2 dollars per day extra if you run your A/C. They also charge 3 dollars if someone wants to visit you while staying at the campground. I found these charges irritating enough to warrent trying any other campground in Estes Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful view of mountains, but would not suggest anyone stay here for any length of time. Sites to close together, unlevel, and rocky. We made reservations in April as we were on vacation with friends and wanted side-by-side. They gave away our sites, wouldn't let us cancel, and had us down the road from each other. The staff is beligerent at best. The pool is way to small, although kept up nicely. Price is competitive, so that is not an issue. If you have young children, this is not a good stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Like other's have said, nice view. That's all there is. My family and I had spent a weekend there and for the most part hated it. The kids playground was inadequet at best. My kids had more fun playing on a small rock formations nearby. The swiming pool is tiny in comparison to normal sized pools. After our first day there, we were bored. There are no hiking trails or other nature type activities to take part in. The sites are cramped, I felt like I was in a Wal-Mart parking lot. This was the worst camping experience I have ever had. I will never go back. We camped here in a camper.

We were disapointed when we pulled in! Should be advertised as a RV parking lot. Does have nice view of the mountains but not much else. We camped here in a camper.

My wife and I went to this campground last summer. When we arrived a retired man showed us our camp-site, and tried to tell me how to park in the small area. From the start I got into a argument with this grumpy man, and he had the attitude it's my way or the highway!! I told him I'm leaving, and I wen't back to the office and I told the Manager that I want my money back. She gave me another site that was bigger , but because the other campers were so close, I damaged my pickup. I have a 31' Fifth Wheel. I told the owner of the campground about my pickup, and he said I quote "It's not our fault you can't drive!!!" I think this is a poor excuse for a campground!!!! We camped here in a camper.

Well maintained. Level sites. Interior roads too narrow for larger trailers. Even pull through sites are difficult to get into and out of due to road width and nearness of the adjoining sites. Next door neighbor parked his dingy nearly against my coach and then left for the day. When I wanted to leave I had to get assistance from the staff. Fortunately, they were available and efficient. Overall, won't return. We camped here in a camper.

This campground has an excellent view of the mountains. Unfortunately, that's the best thing about it. The pull-thru sites are very close together, and other sites are in a "bowl" area. Both are prone to very windy conditions, and damage to vehicles by the winds has been witnessed. The restrooms, while clean, need work and are not sufficient for the number of campers. The playground is barely adequate. The pool is very nice, and there is a separate area for tenters, which looks to be very nice and away from the other sites. The staff has been friendly in the past. We camped here in a 2000` .

Great view of mountains but it is really a tight sqeeze to get into your site and to get around. Very busy. Staff is very friendly. Even though it wasn't the nicest, I would still go again. There is nothing like grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting by the lake in the morning and watching the elk and deer drink from the lake as the sun comes up. We camped here in a camper.

This is not the campground for you to use if you want a wilderness experience. There are plenty of campgrounds in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park for those of you who want that type of camping. This park is very convenient to the Park and the town of Estes Park. The staff is very nice and helpful. The Wi-Fi is strong and free. The sites are level, back in sites and very close together. Our site was great, in that we did not have a neighbor on one side. Nice picnic table and great views of the mountains. They do not have 50 amp service, but do have cable and sewer. The park is clean and well kept and I would stay here again. They are booked solid from about June 1 to the end of August. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very tight sites. No grass at sites all gravel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very tidy park. Very friendly staff. Yes, some of the sites are tight, but a nice touch is a patio/deck with picnic table at the back of each site which gives a view of the beautiful mountains. There are trees which do not afford too much shade, but give a woodsy feel. The roads are paved, not dirt. The sites are gravel. Close proximity to everything in town and RMNP. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was the closest RV park to the Rocky Mountain National Park, and therefore get a lot of business. It advertises itself as a "RV Resort" but I'm not sure why. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the park had reasonable amenities. However, the grounds were not very well cared for. Their was a poor excuse for grass growing randomly around the sites and it had not been cut recently. The roads in the park are dirt, and therefore any slight bit of traffic creates a dust cloud inside the RV. The sites were fairly level, but sparse gravel made them uneven to walk on. The sites are built on a terraced hill so many of the sites are very narrow. I had a site in the "A" row and there was not enough room to put a chair out next to the RV without being on the slope up to the next RV. When my awning was extended it was literally an inch from the next RV. It was close to the town and close to the National Park, but by no means a "Resort". The office wanted to charge me a premium if I wanted 50 amp service, and to hook up to the park cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very small sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean and friendly! Pancakes($) every AM, ice cream($) every PM. Free shuttle to many places including RMNP. Nice laundry facilities and wifi worked great. Beautiful setting. Staff knowledgeable and eager to answer all questions. Only downside is tight fit for some campers. Would return and highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I gave them a 6 because of the positive attitude of the newer owners. Very nice people. The park itself is a parking lot. With my 39' rig I could extend my slides but nothing else...no chairs or awning room, unless extended into the road. Good location but too tight. Should have listened to previous reviewers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for the Fourth of July 2007. The whole campground is tight and they allow large rigs to park on the ends of the rows narrowing access to the interior sites. The staff member who escorted us to our site tried to get me to back into our site crooked. I was trying to line up on the timber dividers buried in the dirt. He insisted I back in crooked and became angry and left before I finished backing in. I got in straight thanks to my wife. We brought our dog with us. The dog run was approximately 20 feet wide and 50 feet long. There was a receptacle for the dog droppings. It was overflowing when we arrived and was even more full when we left the next day. We will not stay here again especially when there are far superior campgrounds further up the hill. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is not camping. If you want to camp like this, park in the Wal-Mart east of here where it feels like less of a parking lot. They literally have to help guide you into the spot as if they worked for an outdoor concert parking service or for an airport. The guy in the camper next to us listened to Radio Free Europe day and night and his antiquated camper emanated smells varying from some type of fried animal to stale "human-like" smells. Considering we never saw him and I have 2 little kids, it made me all the more nervous. Oh, don't let me forget to tell you, the campground is about 30 yards (literally) from US-34 which is the main artery feeding into Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park. The hum of 18 wheelers rumbling by was constant. I was not the only disappointed camper as I noted many people either pulling in and then leaving as well as those making a quick exit in the morning. Add in the yahoos dancing on the picnic tables while downing copious amounts of wine coolers and this was possibly the worst experience of my life. From now on, any camping trip will no doubt include a lot more research on our destination. When considering a campground don't go here and thank your lucky stars as you drive by this place. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The sites were too close together, if you are going for solitude and peace and quiet this is not the campground for you. We camped here in a camper.

Very friendly staff, wide back in sites, with full hookups, cable and Wi-Fi that worked well. Concrete patios and nice grass on sites mad for an overall great experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would warn anyone against staying at this campground. Management has a funny way of deciding who people should "socialize" with and if they think you are doing too much socializing with the same group of people. You will be evicted! This is the truth. 3 couples who have spent 10 seasons out there have received "eviction" notices in the last week. So, apparently there would be no "group camping" as there seems to be an unwritten rule against long term friendships. As this park has an average of 20 empty spots per night, I hope they continue to do well, when many long time seasoner's pull out and they lose that revenue. Where is the owner? I guess she will figure out the damage her present manager's girlfriend is doing to her campground. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This park is a mixed bag. On the positive side, the folks who run it are very friendly, the sites on the river are to die for, the sites are level, the street is paved (although the sites are gravel), and the scenery is gorgeous as are the wildlife views (we saw three deer and two elk walking right in front of our motorhome the first two days we were here, and an otter in the river the next day). On the negative side, the entrance is a nightmare for big rigs if you take their recommended route on Riverside Drive. Instead, take the Morraine Street exit. Also, there is only one shower and one toilet to serve a large portion of the park down near the river, the wi-fi is absolutely horrible, and there is an extreme shortage of convenient dumpsters. I am writing this review on the wi-fi I am picking up from a neighboring campground. I would probably stay here again despite these problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We chose this RV park because of the negative reviews of the other parks. Some of those negative reviews were not accurate. Manor is occupied mostly by seasonal people, i.e. they are here for the summer. They do have a number of nightly or weekly sites available. Most interior roads are paved, unlike most parks in the area. The park has two major sections, the hill and the flatland. A hill site would be difficult to park a big rig. The spacing is typical for a private RV park. The seasonal people keep their site very neat and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. WiFi signal was strong in our space. Because of the hill ingress and egress to and from the park with a big rig isn't easy, but you only do that once. Spruce RV park is on the other side of the fence which is mostly open. We stayed here a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice Park and the only one with paved roads in Estes Park. Sites are on grass and are pretty level. A river runs through the park and is a great fishing spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Had a perfect view on the side of the mountain. The views are spectacular. One night we looked at the cliffs above us and could see little white dots moving. I pulled out my binoculars and found that they were big horn sheep (simply amazing). Had elk come through our camp once. Showers were always clean with plenty of hot water. Nice coffee shop with humming bird feeders and squirrels. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Best camping we have ever experienced. Stayed 5 nights instead of the 3 nights we had planned. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Based on reviews below, I am writing this review while sitting in site A2 looking out at the beautiful vista of snow caped alpine peaks and sub-alpine glens surrounded by pines and aspens. At the office there are many humming birds, finches, mountain blue jays, magpies and chipmunks. One can sit on the deck and watch them while having lunch or a morning Cappucchino. The site is level. The WiFi works. Evidently the camp is popular because I could only get a 15amp site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a gorgeous, unobstructed view of Deer Mountain in RMNP from our campsite. Our neighbors were close, but they were nice. Site backed up to the rocky slope of a mountainside. We brought our own hummingbird feeder and were treated to endless entertainment within minutes of hanging it. (Check out the deck on the back of the campground's coffee shop for more "hummer" action.) Our 23' trailer was the perfect size for our site. Going higher up to the pod where the larger RV sites were would have been tricky. We enjoyed our 3-night stay here and would go back. We would recommend it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is what Colorado Camping should be! We enjoyed our site, A5, as it had a nice uninhibited view of the mountains. Our site was shaded and level. We were instructed on how to get in the site by the helpful and friendly staff. The gravel, curvy, narrow switchback road to get to the site was a little unnerving at first. We were provided with a small fire ring. They have a cute coffee bar by the office. We found hummingbirds and woodpeckers galore by the office/coffee shop due to lots of bird feeders. Little creatures can be found everywhere. One night, staff drove around and advised us, 3 times, to keep foods and temptations locked up due to a bear sighting. WiFi worked just fine. Restrooms and showers by the office were functional and clean. Dump station is oddly located and hard to park to dump. This RV park is conveniently located, just a half mile from Rocky Mountain National Park, $20 for 7 days, riding stables right across the street; and town with Stanley Hotel is just 3 miles away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Bordered by the Rocky Mountain National Park, in fact the Fall River Visitor Center is right across the road. You will need an adapter plug to plus into electrical if you are running AC. Photos appear a little more level than it actually is and it is tight curves getting into, but overall nice campground. Definitely not for the big rigs. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We spent a week camping here as part of our vacation to Colorado. The campground is literally on the side of the mountain with steep and winding roads. The sites were not very private - most sites backed up to one or two other sites. We had a large site with plenty of room. The restroom facilities were older and the men's facility (especially) needed some updating. The restrooms were clean for the most part, although after the "rush" of showers they were in need of attention. The hosts were very friendly and offered good information on the area. This campground was also within 1/4 mile of the Fall River Road Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Given the size of sites and the road conditions, this campground is clearly geared toward tent trailers and tents. We would likely stay here again, although our experience would be greatly improved with more updated restroom facilities. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a wonderful campground cut into the mountainside. The somewhat narrow, steep, winding dirt road leads to the sites, with the large RV area at the top. The campground has a natural setting and exquisite views, nice staff, clean buildings, and a coffee shop on-site. Wi-fi is spotty at some sites while strong at others. We went for one week, stayed for three, and will return as often as possible. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The staff is very friendly and the camp is very close to RMNP entrance. It has a good Wi-Fi connection. The layout of the campground is not really suited for larger rigs. I have a 33' TT 54' OAL with my TV and it was difficult to get situated into our spot. They have a "Parking Lot" at the top for bigger motorhomes but it is not very attractive and in the sun, no shade. Roads are gravel and in decent shape. There is a visitors center and small grocery store across the street with laundry but all but one washer/dryer were broke. Went into Estes Park to do laundry. Very close to Estes Park, within 2-3 miles of the center of town. We had a good time and would camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful and rustic park on a hillside just across the highway from the Rocky Mountain National Park. The sites were heavily wooded, large and had a terrific view of the mountains. We decided to stay at this park rather than the Rocky Mountain National Park because we wanted electric and water hookups. When we arrived, we discovered that they had put us in a site that had only 15 amp electric. They offered to put us in the RV section, but the pop-up site was so beautiful that we made do. Sites were gravel and not very level. There is a visitor's center, restaurant, laundry and store across the highway. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was fairly tight to get to our spot, but we were escorted to the site and then our neighbors helped out spotting for us. Good thing they did. Overall, it was just a very friendly place with an ice cream social, marshmallows over the campfire and horseback riding across the street. The RMNP is literally a few feet away. Many large trees, shade and great views. The staff is just great and went out of their way. Cell phone signal and WiFi both worked well. We will be back for sure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Other reviews are correct in that this is a wonderful site for smaller pop-ups. Our site was level and very scenic. We were near the bottom of the campground, but could see that negotiating a big rig up the winding curves could be difficult. The hosts are wonderful, the restrooms and showers clean. Hummingbirds swarm near their office. A deer came through our camp. Each site seemed to have a unique flavor to it. The views were great and access is immediate to Old Fall River Road; an unforgetable drive up to high elevations. We saw mountain goat and elk in the Rocky Mountain National Park. A great campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I think this would be a great park for a pop-up or small camper. It is not good for anything longer than 30 feet. We have a 34 ft. 5th wheel and that size units are parked at the top in a corral. It is difficult to get to the top due to switchback curves and then once there, if crowded (and it was) it is very difficult to position your camper in the small site. Shade in this area is provided by other campers as they are right next to you. On the positive side, access to Rocky Mountain National Park is good and camp workers were very friendly. Without them I probably would not have got into the site. Again, it would be my only choice with a pop-up or small unit, but will not stay there again with large unit. Wi-fi and cable tv were very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful location and campground. The best sites are down below with the rocks and trees, but mostly designed for pop-ups and tents. We saw one full hook-up site in this area (C-3). The site for our 30 ft TT had 15 amp service. Sites & roads are dirt, close together with tight turns. Dump station is on road exiting park and difficult to manage even for the blue tote. Restrooms/showers were clean & staff accommodating. They do have a full hook up area but sites are close together, view isn't as good & parking tight. We didn't like the other campgrounds in the Estes Park area. This campground takes first with it's scenery and location. We would stay here again but would most definitely book ahead for Site C-3. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful mountain campground. It is set into a hillside with natural mountain landscape. The sites are nestled into the trees and rocks. Most sites best accommodate small trailers and pop-ups but they also have sites for up to 35' RVs. Wonderful people running the place, very friendly and helpful. You can enjoy wonderful views and wildlife in the beautiful Rockies. This is our favorite campground in Estes Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We tent camped at Moraine, it is the perfect place to tent camp as well as in an RV. We saw lots of different sizes of campers fit into the sites. Looks like loop C was best suited for the bigger rigs. Loop D is tent and small pop-up with no generators. As noted previously, the Pine beatle has killed a lot of trees but new growth is coming fast. The scenery is just beautiful and well worth the effort to get here. This is camping as it should be with lots of hiking trails and raw nature. Will be back as soon as possible. We camped here in a Tent.

Glacier Basin Campground has been hit hard by the pine beetles, so alot of the trees have been cut down. There is construction going on with some bath houses, so it's not the prettiest sites (be careful making a reservation--they let us move to a different site). Has good access to the Bear Lake trails and lots of wildlife to watch from camp. Rangers are very attentive and nice. Moraine Park seems to be in better shape in terms of preserved trees and more privacy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the Moraine Park Campground. Nice wide level spaces with good views of the mountains. Easy to get around on park shuttles. Elk wander right through campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second year staying at Moraine Park campground, and we love it. No amenities, but the nice large sites and a real camping experience is a wonderful change from the typical RV park. We arrived the day after Labor Day with no reservation and were given site B224, a 40-foot back-in site. We were close to the entrance: made it easy to leave and go watch the elk down in the meadow, which was our main reason for staying in the park. We also had mule deer right across from our campsite. We would stay here again and plan to do so next year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are beautiful views and the surrounding area is gorgeous. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This review is for the Glacier Basin Campground. The National Park Service has allowed the pine bark beetle to destroy most of the forest in Rocky Mountain National Park. I mean MOST. Glacier Basin has been cut to remove dead trees and slash was left everywhere. There is no gathering of firewood and so the debris makes a horrible mess. The drive up the RMNP will look like Yellowstone did in the mid 80's very soon. This disaster has nothing to do with diseased or stressed trees. This is a beetle that attacks and destroys healthy trees. Do not be mislead by the pseudo experts. The scenery past the dying forest is still spectacular. We camped here for three days and anyone wanting to see the beauty of RMNP had better get there within the next two years. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved the view from of the mountains from our campsite. We have a 37 foot motorhome and were pulling a trailer with a motorcycle. Because the campsites were not very deep we had to disconnect the trailer. No hookups but we did get satellite reception. They did have a dump station on site and park ranger office with plenty of information. Lots of elk, even in the campground. We had an elk right outside the bedroom window in the morning. Campsites have a picnic table and a fire ring. I would not want to show up at night at this campground very hard to see let alone navigate a motorhome in the dark. Be careful what site you pick. We saw several sites that were right along side the road that they put out a safety cone so no one would hit the camper. Bathrooms were typical national park bathrooms. Not even a 10 minute drive into town for restaurants and shopping. Happy camping! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This beautiful park is primarily for tents and pop ups. while larger trailers and motorhomes are there, sites are tight. It is a typical national park with small sites that are used by RV's but non originally developed for them. Pet policies are very restrictive. Rangers and personnel make it a point to suggest that everyone should leave their pets at home. You may be cited if a pet is left in a motorhome or RV. They no longer allow hummingbird feeders in the campsites and in fact will write you a citation if you have one. This beautiful national park is quite crowded and reservations allow for only a 7 day stay. The dump station at the Moraine campground is at the entrance and is in a congested area. It also is not level so it makes dumping more difficult. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This review is for Moraine Campground. We liked this campground better than Glacier Basin 5 miles away. This place is very well maintained. The sites are clean and the trees are trimmed for easy maneuvering into the site. There are some sites long enough for 40-footers such as #245 where a 42-foot Beaver stayed for several days. There are several other sites for larger rigs but not too many will allow slide outs. The roads around the loops are fairly wide and well paved. About half the sites at Moraine have descent wind protection. Rangers, park employees and camp hosts drove the loops regularly making this campground in Rocky Mountain National Park a good and safe place to stay. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped at Glacier Basin. We have a 40' RV and were able to squeeze in a spot with a bit of maneuvering. (The site was obviously designed with much smaller RV's in mind, though.) The sites were level, but cramped. Nicely equipped with a modern fire ring and level raised tent camp area on each site. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped at Moraine Park Campground (8160 ft). The campground is open year round. Reservations are available and highly recommended from late May to September 30. Camping fee $20/site/night during the reservation period. Water is on May 13-October 14, 2007. Fee after water is turned off is $14/site/night. This campsite was wonderful, firewood is available for a small fee ($5) and Ice Cream is available as well. We arrived during the bugling season for the elk (Sept-Oct)and it was amazing. Nice roads and wildlife all around (we had a group of elk within 30ft of the tent site for half a day). The site is beautiful with nice shade throughout any fairly quite. Additionally, the tent sites are not too close together. The site is fairly rustic, bring all necessary supplies or buy them before entering the park. We camped here in a Tent.

We stayed at Glacier Basin, appears to be nicest campground there. We had a great view of the mountains from our site. However with that site across from the field came some good wind. We adjusted not really a big deal. No electric anywhere, but we knew that coming in. Only cold water in bathrooms, no showers, etc. However we knew that going in as well, and just showered in our camper. Was a nice place to stay and walked the dogs around with every night. Wow, the wildlife that comes into the campground is great to watch. Bear warnings up, but don't fret, doesn't seem to be a problem there, just follow the rules. Would I stay at this campground again. Yes I would, and it is very close to some great hiking. Also the vendor that comes in to sell ice and ice cream and wood was nice to have there in the evenings. Reasonable pricing on those items as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in Glacier Basin on the first weekend it opened for the season (late May), although some other campgrounds in the park are open year round. Well laid out in heavily forested area, yet sites were level and clear of undergrowth. No hookups or showers, but fantastic views in a fantastic park. This is the place where they take all those photos you see in the camping ads. There are pay showers in Estes Park and the rangers can give you a map to the location. Campground does have very convenient dump station with water fill-up point and a vendor comes to sell firewood, ice, etc. a few hours each afternoon. You are in the mountains, so be prepared for cool temps--it snowed on Memorial Day. The park itself is loaded with wildlife--including a coyote that came trotting through the campsite. Bears, however, are evidently not a problem. Many scenic drives and hikes and well-done ranger programs. Would love to go back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We camped in a popup in Glacier Basin. Fantastic! Sites are in a pine forest, clean and smell great. Rangers were wonderful - multiple 1hr programs we all loved (learned about bats one night, cougars the next). No showers, cold water only in bathrooms, but they are clean. Moraine Park CG (54 sites) was more open and more crowded, but still very nice. Museum worth a visit. Free bus to Bear Lake (wonderful area to hike). We'd go back again in a flash! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The place was nice and staff was very friendly. Too many rules with pets. I felt like we couldn't walk our dog anywhere. The hot tub was very dirty, had algae growing in it. The pool was nice. The stocked fishing pond didn't have many fish in it. It is stocked every 2 weeks and we were there a week and a half after they stocked it. They probably should stock it more often in season. No fires were allowed but that was because of city code. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

At first we had trouble adjusting to the back in spots with gravel pads and the short turning radius in order to back in. We did note that many other campgrounds in this area had very narrow campsites so Spruce Lake did have room for your vehicle and a table area. The amenities are nice including washeteria. The staff wasn't real friendly but I think there is so much paperwork involved that they lose site of public relations which should supersede the paper. Pictures on website show non typical sites. In fact, only about 6 sites have trees. However, the kids loved the miniature golf, the ice cream social (staff was very nice and helpful at this event) and the pool. Close to RMNP and town and river. We did have elk in our campsite one evening so one does get the flavor of the area. We had a discount and would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have mixed reviews about this campground. First, the positives: The staff is abundant, helpful, and customer oriented. The people staying in the campground are also quite friendly and seem respectful to those around them. The location is right on the Big Thomson River which is nice to walk along during an evening stroll, but there are not river side camping sites. There is a lot of family activities ranging from fishing in the pond to a small playground and a swimming pool. Now, the negatives: The sights are jammed in together. Every location was tight. The only spaces that looked like you had breathing room were the three that sit at the back of the campground near the trees. The sites are not level and all dirt/grass/gravel. If you are interested in some personal space, this is not the campground to go to. During the time we were there, we witnessed three significant errors made with reservations or customers placed in the wrong campsites (including coming back and finding someone in ours). The staff made it right every time, but it certainly didn't inspire much confidence in the accuracy of their reservations system. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park located just outside the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We stayed here for 2 nights. All sites are back in, but we were lucky enough to have an empty site behind us, so it became a pull through. WiFi service was fair but dropped the connection often. Cell phone service ranged from very poor to non existant. We have Verizon service and did better than most with other services. Wonderful location and very scenic. Lots to do in and around the park, but we came to see the national park. All interior roads and sites are gravel. We were happy here and would gleefully stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The facility was as expected; clean, close to town, lots to do on site. The front desk staff was a little rough, and generally not hospitality oriented. Everything we needed was received with a attitude of a huge inconvenience. On the other end the maintenance staff was great. Very dog friendly. Great views and river frontage made it enjoyable. You can hear the river at night! Also, they let us have a 4 hour late check out at no extra charge!! A big negative is no true online reservations. You leave a online message, but they are slow to respond. Your best bet is to simply call and not leave voice mail, just keep calling until you get someone. In today's world, this is unacceptable for busy people. Internet access was free and good signal strength, but the cable TV was $2.50. I think the cable was a rip off. Also, not all the channels advertised were actually available, including HBO. Also, the sites are designed for minimal privacy as they are backed in pretty tight. They advertise them as extra wide, and they are. But the way they are arranged you back right up into the unit in the next row. Try and get an end cap if you want any type of privacy. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A little short for a bigger rig, but had wide spaces. A great location by Rocky Mountain Park. Has friendly staff, and a well stocked fishing pond if that is what you want. It's close to Estes Park, too. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lovely campground in a beautiful setting and very close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Well maintained and a nice friendly feel. Sites very generous size with plenty of width, but no pull-throughs. RV's were parked alternately so you're not back to back, which was nice. Wi-Fi was very good from our site (12). Although expensive, it was well worth a visit and we would use again. Restrooms and showers were spotless. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have used this campground before. What used to be a decent campground has turned in to a rather run down mediocre campground. They price themselves as a Resort, but are really just another campground. There is antiquated 30 AMP service, with aluminum wiring, in 2/3 of the sites. 50 AMP is available only on limited sites, for $3.50 per night. Cable TV? $2.50 per night, Wi-Fi? only if you are lucky. Where there was once grass, there is now dry tinder which is worn down very badly. Staff? I never saw any one out doing anything to make things better in the campground, and office ladies were not at all pleasant. We would not waste my time going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is like being in a sardine can, everyone is crammed together and there is a lot of dust. Very hard to back in to. 50 amps? Another $3.00 per day. Cable, another $1.50 per night. Big rig site? Very limited and in back row. Wi-Fi service? Only if you are lucky. Grass on sites? Only if you plant it and water it. Lake on facility is good for kids. I want peace and quiet. Would not stay here again. The office help were two crabby old ladies. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay: right on the Big Thompson river. Nice swimming pool, and nice folks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was a little disappointed in the park because the sites were close together and we were parked near the pond, and the path towards the laundry and game room so there was a lot of traffic and noise around our site. The trash containers were always full or over flowing. My husband enjoyed getting to fish in the pond, even though he had to pay $7.50 a day but got to keep 3 of the trout. It was nice to be able to hear the river close by. I would stay there again but in a different location if possible. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Overall, a decent campground. It was our second time staying there. We stayed in early May, avoiding the busy time. Had some luck fishing in their pond, so that was fun. The biggest gripe is that they want to charge $2.50 each day for TV! We spent family time instead. It was nice. We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground used to be a very nice place to spend a month or two, but has priced themselves so high, it is now nearly prohibitive. 50 amps? Another $3.00 per day. Cable, another $1.50 per night. Big rig site? Very limited and in back row. Wi-Fi service? Only if you are lucky. Grass on sites? Only if you plant it and water it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$50 ouch! Pond, pool, spa, wifi,cable and the Rocky Mountains. Had 22 elk in the campground, nice treat. Easy access to area, via free shuttle into park and into town. Camping atmosphere was great. People very friendly and great to visit with. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I've come to realize that grass is a sparse commodity in the Rocky Mountain area, so learn to live with that fact that you will park in gravel/dirt. The management here was very pleasant and did not charge me for the missed first night due to car trouble. The spots are all back in but very wide. I could park the trailer, have room for a picnic table, and park the tow vehicle nest to that with comfortable space in between. Deer wander thru and it was quiet. Looking at the other campgrounds, I'll come back to this one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All sites are back-ins and are dirt/weeds. Access roads are dirt. Sites are large but feel small because of the odd arrangement of the park. It is a giant parking lot interspersed with a trout pond and a few buildings. Staff generally friendly and helpful but don't even think of using the swimming pool if there is a cloud anywhere in the sky...risk of lightning. Park is off the road and quiet. Appears better than most alternatives in Estes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground is close to Rocky Mountain National Park entrance, only about 3 miles away. It has a fishing pond and fair size playground also a miniature golf course. The laundry facilities are well kept and nice. Some of the sites are on the small side and quite crowded, the WIFI is free but very spotty and slow. We felt the park is overpriced for what it offered, $5.00 charge for each of our grandchildren per day and a $1.00 a day charge for our dog. After making reservations two months in advance we were put in a site adjacent to the power and phone boxes where our triple slide 38 foot Motorhome barley fit and left almost no room for our toad. If you camp here don't let them stick you in site 56 unless you have a small class C and are not pulling a toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the better parks in the Estes Park area. It is clean, quiet with gravel roads thgroughout the park. The sites aren't really deep but they are wide. Very friendly people run this RV Park. Excellent free wifi service. Satellite window best for sites closest to the river. Fishing and miniature golf for the kids is available in this RV park. It is sort of tacky to have a daily charge for cable and for dogs given the $39 off season rate. I would likely stay here again, mainly because of the wide sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an average park in a great location. The sites were kind of short for larger rigs but fairly level. The National Park was just up the road and downtown Estes Park was just a short drive. The lake is more like a small pond that they stock with trout and you can catch 3 fish a day for $7.50. The river runs right alongside the campground and you can fish in that. If you like elk they are nightly visitors to the point of being annoying. We would probably stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access for large rigs with level sites. Sites are dirt which is a problem when it rains. Good view from most sites. Good cable TV at $2.00 per day but WiFi is included in site fee. Staff could work on being a little more friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Best campground in Estes Park. Nice size spots, playground, pool and campstore. WiFi is slow. No campfires allowed, but they provide a large fire everynight. Very close to entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park and close to town. Campground is next to the Big Thompson River for fishing. Lots to do in the area. Will be staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is situated in Estes Park, a very touristy mountain town. The area is loaded with all kinds of activities, accommodations, specialty and tourist shops. There is a small, full-service grocery right next to the park and a large chain supermarket at the other end of town. The next nearest shopping (aside from Estes Park itself) is a tough 25 mile drive up and over the canyon to Loveland. There you’ll find a huge outlet mall, Walmart Supercenter & Sam’s, along with every other major store you can think of. Go 20 miles or so in the other direction the other way over more mountains and curves to Longmont - to another Walmart Supercenter. The park is a great place to headquarter for a visit to Rocky Mountain Park. The park is surrounded by thickly-forested beautiful trees, it sits along the banks of the Big Thompson River – swift and quite lovely. The park shares one of its other boundaries with another nice-looking RV park (the Manor). Nice greenery and mature trees surround the entrance and the lake. (The term “lake” is a bit of an overstatement, it’s not very big – it’s more like a large pond or a puddle on steroids, if you will. Fishing is permitted (no license) at the hefty fee of $7.50 a day or $20 for 3 days. You must keep any fish you catch – (no throw backs). The roads and the RV pads are dirt (maybe some crushed gravel), and each rig site has a wide lawn expanse and some intermittent young trees. Things are a bit dusty when folks drive by or the wind blows. The sites are incredibly wide, a good 30’ to 40’ - if you could drive into them from the side, you could park crosswise! The sites are also amply long – plenty of room for our 37’ fiver and F-350 dually. All of the sites are back-in, backing up adjacent to the next row of back-in sites. Fortunately, the sites are staggered, checkerboard style, so the view out the back window is not the other guy’s back window, just his toad or tow vehicle. Not too bad. Thanks to the width of the site, even full, this park doesn’t feel particularly crowded. [Not side-by-side hook-ups]. Terrific water pressure & good voltage. Garbage pick-up at the site. Pancake & Sausage breakfast on Saturday ($2.00 – extra sausage 25¢ each), ice cream social once or twice weekly and other planned activities. No instant-on phones and some dog breed restrictions. Free wi-fi but we couldn’t get a signal at our site (#46). Ala Carte pricing: cable - $3/day , 50 amp - $2/day and so forth. If we returned to the area, we might look around for another park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very poor Wi-Fi service; will not connect. Lack of 50 AMP electric service. Managers and assistant managers are not at all friendly; curt at times. Park has great potential, but not with current management. Needs a lot of improvements. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV park is very close to the entrance of Rocky Mtn. Natl. Park and has spectacular views. Our site was next to the banks of the Big Thompson River, which provided a soothing sound as we were drifting off to sleep. The downside of the campground is that RV's are packed in like sardines and there is no shade. The grounds were not particularly well-landscaped and were muddy due to rain. I would rather stay in a park campground with no hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My wife and I went there for a first trip in our motorhome with our granddaughters and had a great time. There was a small fishing pond for the kids, playground and an ice cream social. We had a site next to the stream where there is trout fishing also. My next trip to estes park will be there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly staff, clean neat grounds. There computer reservation system needs improving, because many guest reserations were lost or given to others including mine. There are extra charges for, dogs, cable, more then 2 persons in party, fishing, and a few others which makes it expensive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A little deceiving, lake is really a rather small pond! No campfires are allowed and sites are a little close. Kind of parking lot-ish! The up side is that the restrooms/laundry and pool were very nice, and there was a fairly good view of mountains and we had elk that walked right through the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice campground and friendly staff. We stay here any time we visit Estes Park. Nice wide sites. Nice playground for our little girl. Wonderful swimming pool and free mini-golf (needs some fix-up). No problem getting our 30' Fifth Wheel backed in with room for the slide out. Close to shopping and RMNP(and my favorite fly fishing store). All around great experience. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

All back-in gravel sites. Extra wide sites. Restrooms, showers, and laundry room very clean. Walking distance to groceries, gift shop, liquor store, and restaurant. Private lake on property. Modem hook up in office free for 15 min, $2.00 for each additional 15 min. Best all-round campground in Estes Park. We camped here in a camper.

This was a nice campground but it wasn't the best. It has a nice lake in the middle of the campground. Staff was very friendly and it appeared to be a well maintained campground We camped here in a camper.

Back to back sites (if one vacant - can be pull thru) but easy access. Elev 7,000'; RMNP entry nearby. Mountain streams run through the park with 360 degree mountain views. Handled 40' 5th easily. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice RV park/campground, probably the nicest in Estes Park. Large sites are all back-ins but easy to get into. Park is located on a stream, has a small fishing pond. Clean restrooms, very friendly staff, well maintained grounds. Easy to get in/out of, close to all the major sites in Estes Park, including the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Nice views of the mountains of RMNP. We camped here in a camper.

Only a few big rig sites. Not easy to get into. Located on major two lane road and there is lots of road noise for the big rig sites. Website photos make this park look so big and it is actually VERY small! Small camper and tent sites look to be pretty small and rough. Kid friendly activities. Clean. Well taken care of. Road noise nearly ruins it though. We were in #79 which is actually a work camper site and first site on road. (20yds off road). Easy access to Estes Park and RMNP. We would probably not stay here again and would try somewhere else although not much to choose from around Estes. Estes does not have big rig parking. They claim to but we wouldn't try it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is OK, nothing great. It has everything advertised, but nothing special. The pool was NOT heated and was real cold and cloudy and not real clean. Restrooms were OK. Sites were a bit difficult to maneuver into because the park is on a hill and terraced. I think the park is over-priced for what you get. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is over rated for what you get. It’s pricey, mostly 30 amp sites and no pull through sites. Sites are dirt, not level, and short. There are only a handful of back-in sites that will fit RVs or Fifth-wheels longer than 38 feet. There’s no cable and NO cell phone reception regardless of provider. You have to drive 2 miles down the street to get a reception. The campground is inundated with prairie dogs/gophers. Some office workers are very rude. Our neighbors tried to extend their stay and were told that the park was full when it actually wasn’t. Don’t spend the money for a premium site (extra $10/night ) because all you get is a small green carpet that is not kept clean and wrought iron furniture that leaves a lot to be desired. The one pro is that the Wi-FI was fast, but it may have been because we were near the pavilion. This is a great park for kids. During our stay we visited Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Unfortunately, there are not too many campgrounds in the area with full hook-ups. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is more geared towards families with children. The pool was nice and the view was good, but the sites were small and close together. We probably wouldn't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was okay for a one night stay. Uneven sites, no cable and no wifi. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very easy to work with. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were looking for something different when visiting Estes Park. We've stayed at the other rv parks and they all have their pros and cons. We were very pleasantly surprised with Jellystone Estes! What a great little park! It may be a little to "childish" for some campers, but my myself my wife and our 14yo son had a great time! Excellent and very friendly staff! Trees! Trees! Trees everywhere! This campground is situated on a side of a mountain with dense evergreen trees. Very wide variety of sites. All the sites are back-in, but the staff was supurb in their customer service and helped us back into our site (#70) with ease. Our site was halfway up the hill and was terraced nicely. It may be a tad close to your neighbor, but not as bad as some parks. Our site was clean and level with a fire pit and table. We also had full hookups, but water/electric and no hookups are also available. There are a few "Premium" Sites here and there and they seem to be the biggest and most private sites. Lots of smaller sites for popups farther up the hill, but our 30ft trailer fit into our full hookup site easily. Lots of activities for families and it was cool to meet Yogi in person! Although it was the end of June, it got cool at night, but heck, you are in the mountains! We WILL be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camping Club memberships are worthless here unless you want only elec. 30Amp (this is their standard category) We damaged our stainless rock guard, but eventually got in the site and it was quite after the music shut down. This is a great site for kids and they were certainly having a blast. It was a pleasure to watch them. This is not for a mature audience. We went there to take advantage of CC membership- big mistake! If you have grand kids or small children this is the place to be but not if you are going for the benefits of CC. The Wi-Fi was good. It is Extremely hilly and their advertised stream is about the size of the one I see each morning when I awake. Each day we saw many Campgrounds we would have preferred, do your homework when traveling to Estes Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent secluded sites. Back-in only. Loved the Ice Cream man, the firewood delivery service, the Candy Bar Bingo!! Front Office staff is it or miss on what they know and don't know. Beware the $3.50 per child extra charge. During my stay the water in the entire campground went out for 2 hrs.(?) Sites are a bit small but separated well by trees. Back sites abut a trail head for nature walks. All in all great family campground We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have camped at JELLYSTONE PARK-ESTES for many years now and have enjoyed it each and every time. The pool is really nice and nightly activities in the summer makes this a wonderful family campground. We usually stay each year over Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the dance they have in the outdoor pavilion. The bathrooms are clean, but be prepared that during holiday weekends with so many campers and only 2 bathrooms for the entire campground..they will get dirty. So plan your showers mid-day(after cleaning is done) for a cleaner bathroom. This campground is wooded but most campsites are located on the hillside. Larger RV have a flat camping area. Game room for kids is very nice. The only complaint I have it the rates keep going up. This year for any holiday weekends...will be $50 for a Regular water/elec.(no sewer) sites. That is a bit much. The Premium Water & Electric sites will be $60.00 If the rates keep going up..it would be almost better to stay in one of the smaller hotels with cabins. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We came here to celebrate my son's birthday. We were very happy with our site and the host / staff were very helpful. The site is pretty close together but still have trees in between for some sort of privacy. There's plenty of activities for the children. My kids really enjoyed the Candy Bingo, the Toga contest, the ice cream man as well as the swimming pool. There's also a mini golf on site if the kids want to golf. The trails were pretty nice and if you get to go to the top the view is breathtaking. The rate is pretty high considering they don't offer cable TV and you have to pay for the WIFI connection. Other than that, we will definitely come back here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We rented one of the park's travel trailers during our stay here which is why our rate is so high. The only negative I have is that it was on a steep hillside, but what did I expect...it's the Rockies! We drove by several other RV parks in the area and were continually pleased with our decision to stay here. It is in a convenient location and was quiet. There were plenty of activities for the kids and the pancake/french toast breakfast were way too convenient. We had a wonderful time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Probably the nicest park in the area, very nice mountain view, only complaint would be the that the park is on a steep hillside, this is our park of choice for Estes Park area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Jellystone Park Campground (CG) is on a terraced hillside and also part on a flat area. The terraced campsites on the main hill are VERY nice. In fact within the last 2 years many of these sites have been up-scaled/improved with round metal patio/picnic tables and chairs, large staked-down 'grass' mats that cover most of the campsite, separate grills and fire rings and these campsites are bricked in on the sloping side. These campsites are 'deluxe' and are more expensive than the rest.The regular priced campsites have wooden picnic tables and a fire-ring/grill combo. No bricked wall, or 'grass' mats so some of these campsites do drop down the slop of the hill, so walking around them with 'toddler'-children need to be supervised because of the steep drop down to the creek on one side. Trees surround the CG and a small creek runs through part of the CG. The tent area is in the flatter area of the CG. There is a pool, mini-golf and pavilion where Karaoke, bingo, ice cream socials and kid-family events and dances are held on weekends. Small and Large cabins are available to rent. Playground and horse-shoe ring. 2 bath-houses, clean twice a day. We stay here at least once a year, if not twice. We always enjoy our stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The staff was friendly. The ice cream cart that comes by was a favorite of our children. The activities are good for young children - although they can get loud at night. The swimming pool needed cleaning the first day, but there were a lots of people in it. The second day we went at an off peak time and it was much cleaner. Some of the sites could be hard to get to with a larger rig, the road we camped on was curvy and hilly. We did have lots of shade at our site. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The staff is very friendly and the park, overall, is well maintained. The sites are not perfectly level and my neighbor had to use a shovel to dig a hole to level his 5th wheel. The road around the park is tight and a large RV would have problems; especially with the steep grade. The highway next to the campground is noisy but traffic is scarce after 11 PM. The kids really enjoyed the playgrounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
