We took our maiden voyage in our pop-up camper here and we'd stay here again. Everything was…read morereally clean, well kept, the staff was friendly, and the views were good. 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!!

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.

The park people are very nice but after driving to my reserved site found that the site was already inhabited when I got there so had to go back to the camp entry and they gave me a new site. There is nothing do do here if you have a dog and walking amongst the hoards of people is not enjoying nature. I camp pretty much every weekend most of the year and this is the WORSE!

They absolutely ruined Moraine Park for campers without electric hook-ups. All the campsites on…read morethe ridge, which are the best sites, are now electric sites at $55 each. There are almost no campsites in loop C or B that are nonelectric except a scant few tent only sites which are now $30. Loop A, the least desirable of all the loops, is the loop where they put campers with no electric hookups, and many of those sites are tent only sites. In the past the national parks always accomodated campers without electricity, there are plenty of electric sites in Estes Park where people who can't survice without ammenities can camp. Why did they have to ruin what was a great campground!

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.

I recently hiked the Kruger Hike trail and really enjoyed it! First of all, it's dog friendly which…read moreis always a huge plus for me. 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.

We interacted with several staff members and all of them were pleasant and welcoming, but our favorite was Tim. Not only was he incredibly easy on the eyes, but he started up the communal fire pit and spent time chatting and roasting marshmallows with a bunch of us. We will definitely be back!

We've been lucky and have had good spots with larger outdoor spaces. The staff is very friendly and they do try to be helpful, although a couple folks should not assist with backing up trailers. The bad side- the water is terrible! No pressure at all and twice we had no water coming out of the tap. At these prices- we should definitely have water. We could not even wash the dishes before we rolled out this morning. The bathrooms are pretty hit or miss- one day they were lovely and clean- the next morning, one shower was clogged with a giant plug of hair and the other was stopped up with gray water. Not sure why so inconsistent. (I do blame the customer who left behind the giant plug of hair- campers should clean up after themselves) For the high prices they charge- they should really improve on the basics.

We were able to have a 90-year-old guest come up and stay a night. It was fairly easy for her to get in and out, and there was a bedroom on the main floor, which worked out pretty well. There were hand rails and about 8 stairs involved. Overall it was a great visit for all.

CC was one of the few who still had vacancy. Now we know why. While I don't know what type of low-grade accommodations the high reviewers are accustomed to, as a very frequent traveler, I do know that this place does not deserve anything higher than 3 stars. Pros: very simple, homey old-timey cottages that hearken back to a 1940's grandma's house. Central location right outside one of RMNP's entrances. Nice touches with working fireplaces, 1 free bundle of firewood, variety of games and dvds to choose from, and fairly ample kitchenette offerings including a mini-stove, full sink and place settings. Restaurant choices across the street. Cons: this place is TIRED. Everything is run-down and dingey from the raggedy bedspreads to the broken kitchenette drawers, to the shower handle that fell off when we went to turn it on. Outside lawn chairs were moldy and crusty - uninviting. Curtains were dusty with gnats stuck to them. The children's mini-playground area - which could've otherwise been such a nice touch - was littered with dog poo and other debris from apparently months of neglect. If the rental charge were more appropriate for this low-level of accommodation, like $75-$100, I might give more stars. But $200? Uh no.

We stayed here a month or so ago but didn't get around to this review until now. This was our…read moresecond time staying here. The first time was 20 years ago and we loved it back then which is why we decided to go back. In the past I'd have given it 4 or even 5 stars. However.... Pros are the great location close to so many amenities such as restaurants and stores, very quaint appearance, dogs allowed, wood burning fireplace, parking right outside your unit's door, easy self check-in, and how quiet it is even though it's off a fairly busy street. This place has tons of potential. Cons are a general lack of maintenance including a broken bar in the sleeper sofa that didn't support any weight and collapsed, unusable very disgusting cooking pans, dirty oven, and a general lack of cleanliness. For example under the chair cushions were years of dust and a variety of objects like socks, loose change, hair ties, etc. Tons of dirt under the sofa and bed, the fireplace glass screen was so dirty you couldn't see the fire so we cleaned it ourselves, all the dishes were filthy, lots of loose hair in the bathroom, etc. You get the idea. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. We love rustic but these cottages cross the line into decrepit compared to other places we've stayed. They are in need of some refurbishment and replacement of furniture and household items.
