    KOA stocks local wines.
    Raven J.

    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

    Close to town and the Rocky Mountains were amazing. Saw a beautiful bull elk on the way out of town.

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

    Circling the drain!! I've been coming here for over 20 years and I've witnessed the prices go up…read morebut the amenities go down. They really haven't done much improvement to the sites except basic maintenance. Previously , they had Sunday church services and coffee and donuts on Saturday mornings, and a beautifully maintained crystal clear pond with lots of large trout. It's now a sludge puddle with few fishes and less trees. I came to love this place but it's being run down way too much. 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. PLEASE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS!!

    Last week I did the worst thing I have ever done: Tried to pick up my kids from Spruce Lake RV…read morePark. I confess, my crime came from ignorance, but that's no excuse. I should not have tried to get my kids for dinner, or at least I should not have done so without studying up on Spruce Lake RV Park's rules. At least then I could have prevented myself from bestowing the absolutely devastating trauma I brought onto the poor owner and staff member of this park. They would not have been forced to yell at me at the top of their lungs, threaten to call the police and insist that I wait, standing, in the middle of their vehicle pathway instead of sitting down on a nearby bench as they went to berate my in-laws for my actions. This RV park, you see, has a very strict rule that all visitors must check in at the office and pay a fee upon entering. This is not, as I assumed, a fee for parking or for bringing in a vehicle -- it is a fee for ENTERING the park, on foot, by parachute, via tunnel or by any other means. If you come into their park, they expect payment for each individual person entering, including young children, and they expect it for each day you come in. My in-laws had stayed at the park for two previous years before this happened, and the first time my wife and I went to visit their trailer at the park we saw the sign and stopped into the office to check in. The clerk seemed surprised that we had actually stopped in and did not charge us anything. We got the impression that this was not something the RV park really cared about, and perhaps the sign was there for legal purposes. So on subsequent visits we simply drove past the sign, visited my wife's parents and left. I am so sorry that I assumed this was ok. Judging by the reaction of the RV park owner and staff member, trying to pick up my children to bring them to dinner makes me absolute scum, a despicable criminal worthy only of contempt. As I tried to clarify to the owner and his employee what I was doing in the park and clarify the rules with them in a very calm manner, they treated me as the disgusting monster I am by yelling over me, refusing to listen to a word I said and telling me over and over again that they didn't care about what I was saying. If they had listened to me, maybe they could have corrected me when I told them I planned on parking my car outside the park and walking in to retrieve my children, which I now know does nothing to erase my obligation to pay the entry fee. It was all deserved. I asked them for their names. Since I was clearly in the wrong and they "don't care about reviews," I wanted to apologize to them publicly by name. But they didn't want to give me their names for some reason, despite telling me that I was the one who broke the rules and therefore nobody would listen to me. All I can say to anybody planning to stay at this RV park is that if you plan on having any guests visit you, DON'T RISK STAYING HERE. By doing so you may be delivering even more trauma onto the owner and staff of the park. You could pay a fee for each person entering the park for any length of time for any reason, but why chance it?

    Great campground that's a short drive from Estes Park. The premium sites (especially near the…read moreriver) are spacious, so you don't feel like you're parked on top of your neighbors. They have a nice little park area along the river towards the entrance of the park. The campground store has a nice selection of souvenirs, RV necessities, and snacks to choose from. The staff (who are all insanely amazing) and the long term guests make it feel like home, and you really feel the sense of community here. I'm nomad who is usually not in a campground for more than a week, and and definitely wasn't planning on staying here for more than a month. However, I've been here for four months so far, and I think that says a lot about how great it is here. It's also nice to see the staff out working on little projects or cleaning up daily. I've been to some RV campgrounds that feel run down due to the lack of maintenance. This shows that they care about the park. Going back to my comment about the staff being amazing: The owners and management are great as well. The staff always speaks highly about how easy they are to work with, and how much they care about their employees and guests.

    Avoid Riverview -- Safety & Maintenance Issues…read more We stayed three nights to visit the Rockies, but it was about an hour's drive--much farther than advertised. The park is dominated by seasonal or long-term residents, many with cluttered sites. The motorhome next to us was undrivable, surrounded by junk, and the residents kept two very aggressive dogs that were a constant concern. Facilities were poorly maintained. Only 2 of the 6 washers worked, and just 1 dryer--forcing us to do laundry in town. Most troubling was what happened the day we left: I saw a man leading a young woman by her neck, her hands behind her back. She gave the universal distress signal as she passed. I tried to follow but lost them on the far side of the park. I immediately reported it to the office and called the police. Between the safety concerns, poor maintenance, and distance from the Rockies, we will not return.
