    Our campsite with the mountains view from our picnic table
    Tom K.

    We are staying at the Estes Park KOA resort . It has been a great experience. The manager Henry and his assistant Dom has been so helpful they help you get your RV parked into and have a great time doing it The spaces are a little tight but the views are outstanding. The store is well equipped. we would highly recommend this resort for your stay well worth the money.

    KOA stocks local wines.

    This is my first KOA experience- we are normally primitive site campers. Its cutesy and I imagine this is great for families with little kids. I liked that there were bathrooms close to the sites and they have a little store that sells local wine and camping essentials.They made a lot of effort to keep things clean and hygienic during coronavirus restrictions. It did smell like a ranch, but that was to be expected with the horses across the street. Personally I didn't like how close the sites are to each other and that the road is so loud (our site was right next to the road.) The laundry situation was convenient and the people were so friendly! That being said, I'm ready for the parks to open back up because I know the view is better there.

    Wow - just....wow. One of the nicest campgrounds I've ever stayed at. Clean facilities, friendly people, and absolutely stunning views. The kids absolutely loved the playground, wagon train ride, and the bunk beds. Just a fantastic gem of a place.

    Happy things

    I like this campground. It is small but the people are friendly and helps you park. Otherwise it's very cute campsite.

The only reduction in stars is because, like others have said, you are right on top of everyone else. It's basically a line of parked campers, but as long as you know what you're getting that's fine. Everyone else was friendly and quiet after hours, and as long as you're mostly using it as a base camp for off site adventures it's not a problem. Also, the pool is supposed to be heated but was pretty chilly. Like I said, we'd go here again. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, ours had hookups. Most importantly, the bathrooms are clean, new, and well kept. As long as you know you'll be up close with your neighbors and won't have shade trees it's a good place to go.

Our campsite was perfect and up at the far / left end of the campground site. We had picturesque views at all hours of the day. The bathroom closest to our campground was just the potty portion, but there was a full bathroom just down the drive with showers and sinks and such. Our fellow campers were kind enough to rescue our tents and pin them down with rocks while we were out hiking (thank you, kind humans!). Our whole experience here was wonderful, and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. The RV spots to be fair (as other reviewers mention) were more lackluster. The tent sites, especially at the outer edges, are where it's at!!

Seriously, millions of visitors enjoy the park every year. I stayed in the gateway town of Estes Park, which is literally minutes away from the park entrance. I did the Nymph, Dream, Emerald, and Haiyaha Lakes via Nymph Lake Trail, as well as Bear Lake. The trails were in great condition, and even though the trails were heavily trafficked, everyone was pretty courteous. The views were simply amazing. Do note that you might need to be acclimated to the higher atmosphere (=thinner air) and so hiking may be more difficult than your usual if you're coming from lower elevations. I visited during elk mating season, and while I did see elk in the park, I saw even more in the parks of Estes Park!

    Lived in denver for 17 years, traveled all over the world and this is my first trip to RMNP. Wow,…read morewhat was I thinking waiting so long. One of the Crown Jewels of the National Park Service, RMNP sits just outside of Estes Park and 90 minutes from Denver. We camped at Moraine Park and with that came a guaranteed timed entry and all access to the park. It was the perfect way to avoid booking entry to the park and separate booking for Bear Lake area. Our campsite had a phenomenal view on Long's Peak and was walking distance to Elk meadow. Every morning and evening we were front row to the bull elk bugling and enjoyed a great camping experience. We saw so much wildlife but the stand outs were, Moose. Elk. Deer. Coyotes. Fox. Marmot. Pika. Blue Jay. The park is a spectacular spotlight on the Rocky Mountains. We hiked from meadows to mountain tops and enjoyed many epic views and endless fresh air. Got caught in a big rain storm and watched a hiker find his missing keys!! Please note, elk meadow is restricted a bit during this time to let the elk mate. We watched a coupled disregard that and wander down to get wedding photos near the elk herd, wedding dress and all. Park security did not find that amusing. I'm sure those were very expensive wedding photos lol. So much to see and experience. Now I understand why every tourist coming to Colorado needs to see this park.

    Very disappointed in this RV Park. We have stayed here before but this time it was disappointing…read more I had reserved a spot 1 year in advance, but I was given a different spot. I asked to move to the site that I had reserved and the lady checking in said no, not available. The site that I had reserved a year in advance stayed vacant for 6 out of the 8 days we were there. The lady also said that each site has cement slabs!!! Really....go out and look at the cement slab on site #56, that is if you can find it buried under the rocks. Once we did find it and swept it off if was about a 3x3 ft slab. Very different from the cement slabs at other sites. SInce she would not let us move to the site that I had reserved I had asked to be moved to another site #44 as we were very dissapointed in site #56, she told me no the trailer that is expected in there is longer than your and it will not fit in #56 so we cannot swap. Well again this was untrue. When the rv came for site #44 it was not larger than our trailer AND they were only there for a couple of days and the other days it sat vacant like so many other sites. As a consolation for not giving us the site that we had reserved she offered to give us a 10 ft. roll of sewer pipe since ours would not reach at the site #56, she told me that this 10 ft. roll was a value of $89 so I should be happy. Manor RV Park may be selling a 10 ft roll for $89, but I can assure you that a 10 ft. roll does not cost $89. Unfortunately, it was just one disappointment after another when it came to this RV Park. People talk about the reasonable price of this park and that may be true, however you get what you pay for and the grounds, driveway entering and leaving this park,lack of ammenities and extremely poor customer service really show. Luckily besides sleeping we didn't spend much time at this RV Park.

    Tried to "check in" while we were there but alas no reception. But that is okay. :)…read more Hermit park is a nice little area to go and get away. It is usually fairly quiet. There are lots of trees and gorgeous views of various mountain peaks. This is around 50-55 minutes from my house (or more depending on traffic). This is a county owned park, so you either need a larimer county park pass. Or there is a $9 fee you can pay upon entering if you dont have that. The park is well maintained. There are trash cans at the trail head. Also cared for bathrooms. There is more than kruger rock trail in the park. There is also saddleback and limber trail as well. Kruger is most well known and also tends to be the busiest. The trails are clearly marked and very user friendly. Dogs are allowed here BUT they need to be leashed ;) This is a really nice area to head to when you want to go into estes but dont necessarily want to deal with the crowds of rocky mountain national park. They do close for a few months in the winter. They actually just reopened i believe march 1 for the season so just be aware depending on the time of year you are wanting to go. Current trail conditions as of today were snowy and dry on parts. if you keep going past kruger onto the limber trail on the other side of kruger then you start getting into some deeper snow and snowshoes may be advised. We did about a mile that way and then opted to turn back around. Because the first 2.5 miles were not like that we had opted to not tow our snowshoes with us though we did pack them in the car.

It's just about 4 miles round trip, so it's not super long. It gains about 900 feet in elevation but never feels really strenuous. Last weekend there was snow on the trail, but it was well marked and easy to follow up to the top. When you make it to the end of trail, make sure to climb to the very top of the rocks. You have to do a little bit of scrambling to get there, but the views are so worth it! You get a fantastic look at Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. The location is great, just a couple of miles away from Estes Park, which is a fun place to stop after you hike. Our group (plus 2 doggies) had a great morning hiking Kruger rock, and would definitely bring other friends and family to check it out.

The people are great, and I appreciate the trash pickups every day from our site, but it's just not as lovely as it used to be. The ridiculous fire pit by the playground is rarely used by anyone and they've gotten rid of the community events and fun games. It's location is great which is one of the reasons we come here. But since the change to the RMNP entry schedule, the construction everywhere and loss of businesses, it's become tedious. It would be much more attractive if the concentrated beautification they pour into their office area was applied throughout the facility. It's boring and looks old and unloved.
