    Had a beautiful time here! I stated in the tent campgrounds, they were quiet, spacious, and had both a picnic table and a fire pit (which is a lot more than I'm used to)! A pond for fishing with rainbow trout, tons of places for little ones to play and quiet hours that are strictly enforced so everyone can get a good night's sleep. Management is super friendly and patient, and the gift shop has items made from local artists, alongside any amenities you may have forgotten to pack (I forgot my cutlery and they had a reusable compostable fork/spoon/knife kit that was perfect). On-site laundry, showers, and even an arcade. I would very highly recommend!

    Tented there one night. Price was high at $41.00 but a beautiful area and nice nearby restaurant/shopping area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Mellow Bernese mountain dog for your petting and photographing pleasure in the lobby. Other campers were nearby but quiet. Finding it was a bit of a challenge without VERY specific directions. Glad to find it when we did. Nice warm showers.

    This place was amazing. Awesome staff, great campground, so comfortable for an overnight tent camp even when it was so cold. Would highly recommend for coming here.

    Great for families with kids! They have great little cabins (electricity but no plumbing) and campsites. The whole place is clean and well arranged. Here are the pros and some cons (or things to be aware of): The pool is wonderful. It's heated to over 80 degrees and is big enough for a lot of people to swim but not too big where you lose sight of your kids. The splash pad (kind of like a synchronized fountain for kids to play on) was WONDERFUL for our one year old son to play in without danger. Even the older kids liked it. The little store has souvenirs and camping essentials. They serve a great all you care to eat pancake and sausage breakfast (coffee and OJ to drink) for $5 pp. The showers were free, warm, and (mostly) clean. Obviously they can't clean them between each guest (and some people must've been pretty filthy). No big deal, just keep your flip flops on! We stayed in a cabin. They seemed pretty new and, while smallish, we're perfect for the 5 of us (2 middle school age and one 1 year old, my wife and I). One word of advice, bring a camping pad or egg crate mattress, the mattresses (like a thick pad) were thinking. And you have to bring your own bedding. We brought sleeping bags and pillows and were fine. They have a pond stocked with trout ($7 each catch, no catch and release) and will rent fishing equipment. It's a little expensive, but the kids LOVED it! They both caught 2 and were ecstatic. The owners/operators were friendly and helpful. It's a family business. They have a dish sink behind the office, an arcade with circa 1980s games and pinball machines. There is a small playground also. It's just off a relatively busy road but the view of the mountains were beautiful. It's close to Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak and a short drive to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls, and several other attractions. I really liked this place and we had a great time!

    Love this campground. I come here just to fish when I visit family in Colorado Springs. Great stocked trout pond that you will almost guaranteed catch fish. Gold spinners work really well. Smaller the better. Fish are $6 each( if staying on site) no catch and release. The site has lots of amenities like a dish washing station, heated pool and splash pad, playground, laundry room, fish cleaning station, wifi, arcade and hot showers. Owners are very friendly and make everyone feel very welcome and glad they are there. There is a $5 all you can eat breakfast of pancakes and sausage with orange juice available to purchase in the office. Tent camp sites are a little close to each other but are very nice clean sites. Highly recommend this location.

    Nice, clean, friendly campground. Heated pool and small pond. Lots of "private" spots. There is even a small river running thru the campground to provide serene sleeping sounds. It is close to Hwy 24 but the noise level is not bad. Plus it's cheaper than staying in a state park.

    Pj playtime after owner's pancake breakfast!

    We had our 4 grandchildren ages 8-18 with us and they really enjoyed catching trout, playing in the arcade and swimming.

    I've rafted with Liquid Descent multiple times, and every single trip has been a 5-star experience!…read moreThe guides are not only experts at keeping you safe, but they also make sure you have an unforgettable time on the river. This year, I went early season on Clear Creek and loved it so much I came back late season for Gore Canyon- an adrenaline-packed, fun adventure! The day started with a swim test to make sure everyone was prepared before tackling Class V rapids. (Honestly, if you're not a strong swimmer, this trip isn't for you, they do test your swimming in the rapids and throughout the trip over half of the people across our 5 rafts ended up in the water at some point! Additionally this would be quite the dive into the deep end if you've never rafted before!) The trip was an incredible mix of thrills, skill, and crazy beautiful scenery you would not have guessed was there when you drive into Kremmling. Midway through, we stopped for snacks, and when we wrapped up, the crew served a delicious lunch and cold beers (NA options were there too!) such a nice touch after a big day! What sets Liquid Descent apart is the crew. Every guide I've had has been dedicated to making the trip special. I've talked to them and many of them have said they specifically choose to work here because of the company's extra training and the sense of community. I even met the owner yesterday at Gore Canyon, and you can tell the company's passion for customer experience comes directly from the top. Specifically the last 2 guides I've had, Jordan and Malia have been awesome! Yes, most rafting companies use the same put-in/take-out points and similar gear but the experience is what makes the difference. With Liquid Descent, the guides make sure it's the best it can be and their love for their job ensures you're going to have a great time. I've rafted with other companies in locations where liquid descent isnt and know: the right guide changes everything. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting trip in Colorado, Liquid Descent is the company to go with!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Liquid Descent. My daughter and I signed…read moreup for the beginner rafting trip... and while she was excited... I was terrified. I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!

    We booked our trip beginning of 2022-ish when they were running som specials on 2 and 3 day trips…read more I gave the information to my girl scouts and had a couple that wanted to go. I was not initially supposed to be the adult going with. I have a fear of bigger and faster rapids....... However stuff happened and it ended up being me. From the beginning they were easy to work with. I had made a tentative reservation online but we didn't have quite enough people. However our trip was early in the season. I called after a couple of days to see if they thought we would be a go. They opted to run the trip for us since we were early season. They did keep it up for others to potentially join but no others did. Which is unfortunate. Our experience was great! They sent plenty of email communications as it got closer including asking about dietary needs and then reminders. When we arrived we got there an hour early as instructed in the email. They checked us in. Got us a dry bag and our tokens for getting the wet suit. We went and packed our dry bags. And then picked up our wet suits and went to the bathrooms to change. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. The wet suits dont have the arms and neck so you would want to wear a non cotton shirt underneath or be sure to wear a lot of sunscreen (if you are renting a wet suit. We were early season and it was recommended to us) Turbo, the driver came out to chat with us as we were waiting and gave a pep talk. Through our chat he had found out I was nervous. Appreciated the pep talk. Our guides, Kat and Gregg were professional and knowledgable about rafting. Kat shared quite a bit of some of the cool history of the area. Gregg really try to engage my quiet and introverted girls. Being that we were doing a 2 day trip there was food involved. We had 3 of us who have celiacs and then one who is also vegan and one who is also vegetarian. They were able to accomodate our needs with really yummy, delicious and filling food. Gregg and Kat prepared all our meals. Honestly we all felt a little bad we are used to being doers. It was weird to have someone else doing all the work. But they did a great job and the food was yummy and satisfying! They also had some desert available at times and hot drinks. Was so thankful that they did such a good job with the food. Sometimes places can't get it right when you have a gluten free and vegan combo. That was not the case here. They did a great job!! Our camping area was lovely. There was a little bit of hiking available. But they also brought some games that we played for a bit. It was nice and relaxing. The next day going through the canyon was definitely a lot of fun. As with most companies they do take some pics of your ride, if you want pics be sure to stop back by the front desk after your experience. You wont be sorry this is a great company.

    Great experience!! We went on a 3 day, 2 night trip and everything was wonderful. We have some…read moreexperience rafting. 4 adults and we were on our own with our 2 guides, Ana and Danny. They were enthusiastic, energetic and all around great people and guides. The food was great, the rental equipment was in good shape, the boats were fully equipped, and the campgrounds were nice! Overall no complaints, just a lot of fun! Thanks Ana and Danny!!
