I'm not sure where the money goes This campground earns because they sure don't put it into the upkeep of their grounds. Deteriorating picnic tables, burned out campfire rings, dirty exterior of cabins, broken patio furniture, dock with uneven curling boards, dog poop everywhere along the river.... the bridge crossing over to the tent side of the campground seemed to be stable. And several mornings there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, also not sure why you would want to carpet a campground bathroom, but there is carpet . Highway 50 runs right next to the campground so you hear traffic, the river is beautiful and clean. I would seek another campground in the area before I stayed at Sweetwater again

Sad to hear that Thomas no longer enjoys this place but everyone I've spoken to (all long times…read more10/20 year members) are lifers. The ethos behind this place is respect & preservation. "Naturalism" (aka nudism) was one of the founders aims & it's common to see folks not only speaking, but hiking up the trails au natural. And the trails are amazing, as are the views, the springs, the Astronomy pad, the very kind staff, & the wildlife viewing. Along with the keeping it natural vibe, is the dedication to keeping it affordable & family friendly. Cabins & bunk house with shared no frills bathrooms & showers, a well equipped camper kitchen & VERY affordable rates are all part of this effort. Personally, I appreciate the rules & the emphasis on everyone being responsible for making this a comfortable, safe & welcome space for all. Anytime I'm in the neighborhood, I'll be back. Check the website for details on accommodation, fees, pets, etc...

Far and away, one of the better camping arrangements we had on our 2,000 miles thus far... $18 tent site, free showers, wifi, coffee and tea, as well as honor system soda and ice in a common room, great value and super nice owners - highly recommended if you're passing through.

We were proactively met by the campsite host as we drove up, who was very friendly and kind. Plenty of amenities on site made this a must stay, which included kids play area w/ zip line, sauna, and bathhouse with shower and laundry.

Would absolutely come back!

UPDATE: Not a retaliation as we never requested a refund. We left after one night because the place…read morewas filthy and not as described. We spoke with the host four separate times, and even politely requested chairs for our tent (which never arrived), so the statement that we did not seek to rectify issues is not true. As for the sugary drink, that cup was in my hand as I was drinking it, so.....enough said. Most importantly, the Rook has not once contacted us to discuss the issues, even after multiple requests from us. Look at their responses to any negative review. No accountability, no apologies, just excuses and attacks. Maybe the Rook should spend less time bullying their patrons and more time cleaning the bathrooms. I had plenty more photos, including the disgusting bathrooms, so I posted more for all to see. Photos speak volumes. Management can contact me at any time if they are truly interested in improving. Set your expectations. This property is neither "glamorous" nor a "resort." The positive: The property has some outstanding sunsets, and the dark skies were special. Breakfast burritos were tasty. That said... The reality: Our tent looked nothing like the photos on the website. First, it was filthy. Stains and animal droppings littered the floor, and it looked like it hadn't been thoroughly swept in months (see photos). We had only one small nightstand (website states two), so we had to pile all our belongings on the bed to avoid the poo and dirt on the floor. Instead of the comfy "butterfly chairs" pictured on the website, we had two decrepit chairs with uneven cushions (see photos). Not comfy. The wooden chairs on the deck were rickety and neither safe nor comfortable (again see photos), so we had nowhere to relax. Because we had nowhere to sit and our tent was 130+ degrees from 8am to 8pm (note that they do warn you that the tents are quite hot in the summer), we tried exploring outside. Unfortunately, the bugs made it unbearable (see photos of my cup covered in hundreds of gnats) and the property offers no shade to respite from the sun. We are seasoned backpackers and campers, so I understand rustic, but for HEFTY price tag, I expected more than gnats, animal droppings, and gross bathrooms. Our reservation was for two nights, but one was enough for us. Now, Before the "rook" comes at us (I've read some of the other responses), please know that we did go to the office several times to try to resolve issues. We also requested twice that the owners phone us. We've heard nothing from them, so now they get a yelp review.update;

The sites are large and allow for privacy and the use of canopies and other outside gear. Close to numerous Colorado attractions including Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, The Royal Gorge, etc. laundry and restrooms clean. Lots of wildlife and places in the RV park to walk. Couple of issues -road noise M-F from 7:00-4:00 as large trucks haul gravel from the quarry to town. The 2 lane road runs on the whole side of the resort. AND, we reached out to the advertised Colorado RV services to get some work done on our RV. They came by 2 times to meet with us but never gave us an estimate or touched base to schedule the work. We followed up numerous times. Our initial conversation was 7 weeks prior to our scheduled departure. This left a very bad taste in our mouths. Very bad customer service and follow up.

But it seems to be true for ALL RV parks in the area, so blame Chaffee County government not them. It's fine, just bring a propane grill and firebowl - Quiet hours. Yep, this is a quieter campground and they don't want you being noisy after 10pm. Want to party and be loud? Go somewhere else. Their vibe is nice and I don't mind the rule at all - Dogs. Their policy is a bit unusual and they only allow one dog per camper. They also require you to walk them in an area specifically to pee and poop there. I get why, but they are a bit too tight on that one IMO (that's where I would suggest they relax a bit or maybe charge per pet, whatever) I would recommend staying just be aware of their policies
