When we checked in, they modified our site to a better site that would give us some distance from other campers. It's nice to be able to spread out a little bit as it's not full season here yet. Site was very level, new picnic table and grassy area. The clubhouse is AMAZING- it's the best clubhouse we've ever seen in any campground. Just wow. Tons of comfy seating, indoor and outdoor seating; firepit, hanging chairs etc. there is a little kids playroom, a table gaming machine and a nice tv/couch area. If you were traveling as a group- this would be a super nice setup for gatherings. There is also a small outdoor playground and of course; a big wooden gopher. They have laundry facilities (we were on east side) and there were two big washers and dryers ($2 load / quarters). There is also very nice shower facilities in this clubhouse. There is a little library, a 'dog stick library lol- they even have a small basketball goal setup for the kids. You're about 30 minutes straight north of Denver on 25- make sure to take the time to go into the historic District of Longmont, what a great little area with tons of restaurants, bars, and shopping. We saw a notice on the clubhouse that sometimes they have food trucks come in too We paid about $75/night that included taxes.

The staff here is wonderful and there is even the Rustic Cafe inside the registration building to grab a quick bite all day. The YMCA backs up to Rocky Mountain National Park and the entire place is easy to navigate. If you want something out of the ordinary but in-line with history, check out the Lula W Dorsey museum which is also on campus and see all the history the Y has had to offer over the last 100+ years! This is a great place to unwind and really connect with nature. If you have ever heard of shrinyoku (forest bathing), this is a place to do it. Wildlife will hang around here at all times of the morning and later in the evening too. Most of all experience it all and make memories!

We held another family reunion here to commemorate the one we had 20 years ago. I'm going to share…read moremy experience and both positive and negative in hopes it's helpful info for other families planning a similar event. BOOKING AND RESERVATION PROCESS: 2 stars My brother booked and placed a substantial deposit over 2 years ago on a large reunion cabin and the adjacent large cabin. As the event neared, we met virtually with camp hosts who informed us that they can't guarantee we get the cabins we reserved. They'll "try," they said, but can't guarantee we'll get those adjacent cabins. Our only theory is the Y reserves the right to bump outsiders should an esteemed member want what we reserved. It all started off on a wrong foot, and combined with the impossible act of reserving additional cabins or rooms on April 1, when reservations open to the general public, it started to feel risky and like we made a bad choice. To me, it seems a reasonable add-on to the reunion booking process to allow us to book additional cabins in advance so we can find rooms for all family. Within minutes at 8:00 am on April 1, small cabins and most lodge rooms were snagged up. They also said we couldn't access the cabins until after 6 pm on arrival day. That meant we had to figure out a way to keep all of our food we purchased chilled until we could put it in our cabin's refrigerator. As it turned out, we did get the cabins we reserved/requested AND they were ready far earlier than our 5 pm arrival time. Total experience? Nerve-wracking. CABINS/ACCOMMODATIONS - 2 stars I get it - lots of large groups use this place. All the more reason to maintain them in a manner that is safe & comfortable for all. We had two sofas, one of which was unusable and a number of small issues that were eventually addressed. THE GOOD/POSITIVE: So much for youngsters to do, but be prepared to spend a lot of time driving kids back and forth to each activity. My "sense" was kids got to try a few new things, like horseback riding and archery, for an add-on fee. Good hiking trails. Downtown Estes (and an additional amusement park), are a short drive away in downtown Estes. Snack shop and little store on campus. All in all, maybe it's my age getting the best of me but I didn't find the accommodations very comfortable- just the 2 aforementioned couches, 1 of which was broken. All other chairs are wooden. So there's a point, as an adult, when the beauty of the mountains starts to wear thin when you're not as comfortable as you'd like to be. Bottom line? Go into it prepared. Try out a smaller cabin before opting to book for a huge reunion to make sure it will fit your family's needs. I wish they were a bit more accommodating and generous with furniture, etc., in their lodging. If you like Rustic, you'll love it here.

Driving on this road was a bit of an adventure. Old Fall River Road is the first auto route in…read moreRocky Mountain National Park. This historic road opened in 1920 and takes you from the Fall River Entrance Station to the Alpine Visitor Center. It is a one-way trip on a 11-mile dirt road at over 11,000 feet above sea level. It is only open during the summer season. Even though most visitors in the park take Trail Ridge Road, I wanted to drive this road to see Chasm Falls. Chasm Falls is a 25-foot waterfall that is located at the halfway point of the drive. I took my time driving on this road because of the switchbacks and how narrow it is. Plus there are no guard rails on this road. Majority of your drive-time will be elevation climb. Because the road is so high above sea level, you get great close-up views of the mountain ranges all around. I finally reached Alpine Visitor Center and had a fun time exploring that area. Even though this drive requires patience, I recommend experiencing it if it is open.

The begin is pave two way traffic. When you see the unpaved road, there is when the one way to the top is begin. It was a great drive. The first point of interest is the Alluvial Fan. I would suggest parking at the West Alluvial Fan trailhead. From there to Alluvial Fan is gradually increasing in elevation. Better walking trail. The the second of point of interest is the Chasm Fall. It just a 0.1 miles from parking lot. Very easy downward stair access. The third points of interest is Chapin Creek trail. This just an ok trail. The last attraction is the Alpine Visitor Center. From here the restroom is available. Also has an Alpine Ridge Trail to the high point. This drive is a scenic drive. Very beautiful on the way. You can spot beautiful rocks, valleys, falls, and ridge. The entire trip take 2 hours.
