I stayed here with Aspen school District on a camping trip and I can say it is the best thing I…read morecould've possibly done to start my school year. Laurie and Scott were both such kind souls and truly made it worth the stay. When I forgot a water bottle, they graciously offered me one provided water every single morning, and didn't mind 20 kids every morning playing music and cooking breakfast . They truly made this experience your own. They include wonderful things like goat walks, chickens, egg harvesting, and plenty of other things. It's a wonderful campsite run by two wonderful people and when in the Palo is area I would highly recommend it. Thank you for your hospitality I can't thank you for your kindness. I cant wait to brag to next years students about how great you are. -Noelani M Von Stocken

We have a 24ft bumper pull and the back in site was easy to do by myself. Has 50, 30 and 20A connections. They had a place to fill up fresh water tank. No dump station yet but they're awaiting permits to build. Store has wood and some treats and medicine. Tom and Tina were wonderful camp hosts. Got last minute reservations on the 4th! Nestled next to a creek that flows into the crystal river the spot is gorgeous. Close to some world class fishing, tubing and water skiing in Paonia Reservoir. Not your thing? Well it's half an hour from wine country where you can visit and do tasting tours of the moment n pop wineries. You're right on the edge of BLM land and national forest.

Effortlessly beautiful. This is the exact spot where you turn for the long, winding road toward Crested Butte, cutting straight through what is the greatest aspen stand in the world. I haven't been received by the hotel yet, but honestly, based on location alone, it's a future no-brainer. When those aspens go golden in the fall, this area is unreal. There's something magical about being right at the gateway to that drive. For anyone who loves Colorado the way New Yorkers love a great view and a great story, Kebler Corner already earns five stars.

The lady at the desk was really nice, a there was tons of parking in the gravel lot outside.

Sweet campsite at this KOA by the water. You can hear the River rushing down and creating this…read more"white noise" type of sound all times of the day. Super comforting during the night. It was super easy to check in and they were kind enough to let us check in early (11:45am) They do offer cabin rentals, RV sites and tent sites. Our Site: We got a tent site and it was pretty big. A bit bigger than the rest and it was perfect for our party of 4. You can only bring one tent and it has to be on the tent pad so extra tents or any tents placed other than the tent pad are not allowed. Which was a huge bummer. We were 2 couples with 2 tents and had to purchase a bigger tent to fit all of us in it to fit on the pad. All in all we made it work. Parking: You have to register all vehicles that are staying in the campsite and only one car is allowed per site, which is somewhat of an inconvenience. Any extra vehicles are $5 more. We were told to park the extra vehicle in the extra parking spaces that were far away from our site. Bathrooms and Showers: They only have Male and Female bathrooms and showers an no gender neutral bathrooms or showers, so it can be very uncomfortable for masculine presenting women to go to the bathroom. They did say they had just remodeled the entire place so they completely missed the opportunity to be more inclusive. However, the bathrooms were very clean, and the showers were really nice. We did bring our own bathroom tent to avoid any type of uncomfortable encounters when having to use the little girls room and were told we could not have it bc they were trying to grow grass and any bodily fluids would be harmful to the soil. So we had to put our toilet away :( Each site has a fire pit and the camp ground offers wifi and a little convenient store. They do come around every other hour or so on their golf-cars selling fire wood and making sure everyone is following the rules. I honestly loved this place and would come back. The town's nearby are gorgeous and the staff here is super nice.

We had just purchased our motor coach and booked a stay here last minute to do a "shakedown" trip…read morethe first month. Because we had booked so late, for our four night stay, we were in three different spots 70, 58 and 60. All were very good, but 70-72 are the best with wider spots. Definitely worth the extra cost. We were contacted by email and text as we got closer to our trip, giving us general check in instructions and what to expect, which I appreciated. We arrived after the office closed, but check in was easy with a packet waiting for us just outside the office. This park is well maintained with beautiful scenery and is surprisingly quiet. There were several campsites with dogs, but the owners were good about keeping them quiet. My husband and I walked the park when it cooled down in the evenings and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We even made some new friends who we hope will cross paths with in the future. There is a general store within walking distance stocked with basic non perishable items. The highlight of our stay here was our prime rib dinner at the Ouray Cafe and Restaurant located on the edge of the park. It's a must stop if you're here! We didn't go to the hot spring, but it's a close walk from the park, as is downtown Ouray. This was a great first trip for us and we'll be returning!

First, we enjoyed our stay. The KOA recommended this place for our needs. If we could give 4-1/2…read morestars, we would. I'll detail the pros and semi-cons (there aren't any big cons). Pros: 1. The staff is very friendly and helpful. 2. We'd been concerned with the name of the place that it might be filled with political signs (there is a park in Creede that is filled with hateful signage and it was scary, frankly) But there was no evidence of anything political, and everyone we met was nice. 3. We only needed water and electric hookups. They have a few spots like this, which were cheaper and the woman I made the reservation with advised me to wait to come by a few days to save money. The spot was pretty darned flat and, though close to others, worked just fine 4. The spots are shady. Lots of trees. 5. We don't have a dog, but the place is dog-friendly, and people pick up after their dogs well. 6. The women's bathroom was pretty darned clean. One evening there was hair on the shower drain, but they clean in the morning, so no issue. Semi-Cons: 1. The men's bathroom apparently wasn't as well maintained as the women's while we were there. They have 3 shower stalls for the men and just 2 for the women. Two of the men's shower stalls had broken hooks, and one was completely missing a shower head. My husband made due, and I reported the issue to the desk, so hopefully this gets addressed with whoever maintains the men's side. 2. It was extremely muddy when we were there, so we had to watch where we stepped and drove. It would be good if they would replenish the gravel in those areas during conditions like this with monsoon rains. 3. We had two nights with a couple near us running their A/C all night which was annoying. Especially since it was cold outside, like around 40 degrees! They could just open a window? But there's no rule against this. Maybe the noise rule could be expanded on colder nights to cover A/C when not needed? 4. We think blackbirds or woodpeckers ran over our roof every morning and evening for periods, waking us up. No one seemed to know what this was about, and I don't expect them to do anything about it, it was just scary when it first happened and we didn't know what it was. Weird. That's never happened to us before. So, if you hear tiny running sounds while you camp, it might be these ornery birds! :-) 5. The wifi was spotty. I was able to get on a Zoom, but it was a little wonky and on our phones, it was out as much as it was on. Most RV places have this issue, but the other reviews led us to believe theirs was better. Also, not theirs to fix, but AT&T sucks in this area. Better if you have Verizon or T-Mobile from what the office told me. 6. They have a cowboy statue outside the office and they place a radio thingy on it that plays country music all day when the office is open. I used to work in country radio so it doesn't really bother me, but it might bother others, so recommend maybe not playing the radio and let the campers choose what they want to listen to? So, you see, not much in the way of cons. We would go back if they'll have us. Their intent is good.

Let's be clear. This is the absolute best elk hunting experience I have ever been to…read more The lodge: Yes, these generous people open up their home for us to stay in. Their children are very respectful and I loved having them around. I stayed in a suite which was the absolute best accommodations I have ever stayed in. I had my own deck to watch the beautiful stars in the morning and my own bathroom with a shower you can fit ten people in and a tub to soak in after the long day of hunting. The food: They say on the website there is a five star chef. It is Jeremy's wife who cooks all the food and it was more than five star in my personal opinion. She noticed I loved fruit so every meal there was fruit for me. Which is above and beyond. The hunting experience : It was EXCEPTIONAL. The guides we had were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were seeing elk every single day. Jeremy (the owner) who is a true hunter, not just a "resort owner" was out every day glassing to find where the elk were at. He has 12 miles of land so where the elk were at, we were at. We had no issues going to the same "sweet spots" because that means that's where the elk are at. Overall, we will be coming back. They are an exceptional family with a beautiful lodge and amazing hunting ground. It is not a spot that elk will migrate through, it is a place that they stay because of all the abundant resources Jeremy has ensured the land will have for the animals. You won't find a better hunting resort to stay at!

My partner and I booked this Elk hunt based on input from Rolling Bones Outfitters, a third party…read moremediator. We were told that Crossing Creek's success rate was 100% for the 1st rifle season in 2017 and a high success rate overall. We booked the 1st rifle season for 2018. What we missed was 2017 was Crossing Creek's first year in business. The Lodge. The enormous beautiful hunting Lodge is not a Lodge; it's actually the owner's Home complete with 2 wonderful young boys. Surprise! All business is conducted at one wing of the Home where the kitchen and dining room are located. It is also the same wing in which the owners live. Starting at 4:30-5am when the hunters join for a quick snack while waiting for the Guides to arrive, who leave their diesel engines running just outside this wing, then business ends at midnight after dinner, countless cocktails and loud endless stores. I mention this because one of the owners rebuked me the second morning for making too much noise and waking one the boys. I believe this incident is the reason the owner two days later flew a drone mounted with high intensity LED lights that were shining inside my second story windows at 4am. It was HARASSMENT as well as childishness. Whatever the owner's reason was, it's no way to treat a paying customer. For the doubting Thomas's, there are no outside security lights. Certainly not one that is 10 feet away facing into a South facing window then moves to an East facing window then laterally passes the bathroom window in another room. I was harassed. I was totally blindsided and now doubt the owner's integrity. It was a childish and resentful attack. Entering the Lodge (Home) there is a small 6' long bench. Hunters lack sufficient space and storage for hunting gear and rifles. Hunting gear/clothing/boots lie about like any other man cave however this is a Home and you must be mindful of that. Five unchecked rifles were left lying around on the floor or leaning against one corner. I consider this a safety hazard for a Home or any Lodge especially one with children. A solution would be to build an outside heated changing and storage room. The Range. Sitting in the mud is an old saggy 6' folding table along with older chairs. In the field was a cardboard box with Sharpie circles for a target. I've used worse but at top dollar I expect better such as a concrete shooting table, chairs and official targets down range. Improvement is needed. The Guides. There were three Guides. A bonus since it was booked 2 hunters to 1 guide. Two of them were around 25+ y/o with extensive Elk hunting experience. The third, older, Guide had extensive hunting experience but not with Elk. All three lacked any years of experience as Guides and for sure it was one Guide's first year, first week even. It was also clear the Guides had one week of experience on the property. They had lots to learn at our expense. One Guide brought his girlfriend with him for an early afternoon hunt. One hundred percent of his time was focused on his girlfriend and he totally neglected the three hunters. We were not his priority. Later that cold night returning from the mountain top we loaded into an old Jeep Cherokee for the 4 mile bumpy ride home. One of the older hunters and my partner, 63, had to ride in the rear with the spare tire and hunting gear while the Guides girlfriend sat up front with the heater on full blast. We lost 1/2 a day of hunting and basically paid for the Guide to spend time with his girlfriend. The Hunting. There is 12 miles of property bordered by National Forest and BLM land. Of the 12 miles we only hunted in two small areas, the highest point of the property facing the Nat'l Forest and the lowest point facing BLM land. All the rest of the property was under development and not hunted. While the owner and Guides did work hard for our success only one of five hunters harvested an Elk or 20% success rate. The Guides were not allowed to cross the boundaries of the property. Had we shot an Elk in the Forest or BLM I was left with the impression we had to haul it out. That's what Guides get paid to do. The Food. While the website leads you to believe a 5 star chef is cooking your meals this was not the case for hunters, wedding only maybe. One of the owners and a Guides wife prepared the meals. They did an excellent job and the service was superb. Summary. We paid top dollar for this hunt. What we got was a bed in a fancy house, good food, an owner who wanted us to be successful and worked hard towards that end, inexperienced Guides experienced hunters, a property that is under development and not ready for prime time hunting and finally personal harassment. This place has great hunting potential. If you must go, go in 5 years.
