Discovered this site while driving from Ouray to Silverton just off Hwy 550. It is about 13…read moreminutes from Silverton. There are more than 50 campsites serving tent-campers, small RV's and pop-ups, and a few sites over 1,500 square feet to serve even the largest RV's. The park has one water pump, clean pit toilets and showers that will cost you $5 for 4 minutes! You can make online reservations and offer a variety of sites, from water front, lake view or standard. I stayed in a water front and boy was it a pretty site. The only drawback is that since there is no barrier, you are fully exposed and visible from most of the other surrounding sites. The wind blows hard and although my tent held up really well, there were moments I could not even enjoy the views because it was so windy!! Firewood is available for purchase but I had a hard time getting the wood to burn as did other campers around me as they shared the same experience. Site prices vary depending on season. Would definitely return, fishing is allowed but no swimming.

Nice camping, poor execution and customer experience. Handled a miss reservation poorly and even…read moreblamed the customer for their staffs mistake.

I have never ridden on or driven an ATV before today and I have to tell you- this was by far one of…read morethe most fun and beautiful things I have ever done! I will cherish the memories made today with my family and friends forever. We rented full day, 0800-1700, Polaris RZRs. There were 6 of us- 2 families of 3. We got in a little late, around 10am due to staying in Montrose the night before. They have to shuttle you up to the beginning of the trail due to a change in law from November 2021. They don't allow ATV/OHV use in town. So, it takes 15 min to get up to the area where you will get your ATV and be fitted for a helmet. Bring rain gear, hoodies, hat, sunscreen, charger for your phone or battery pack. The lunch provided was very good and we did bring more water and snacks. Recommend you do the same also. Since we left late, we had to rush a bit and not stop and see as much as we wanted but this did NOT deter from the sheer awesomeness of the trip. It is beautiful. I cannot convince you of this from photos or a video. You have to see if for yourself. The drive is bumpy. It is fun. It is on the edge of very tall mountains. I made my family scared by my driving- I guess I drive too fast and too close to the edge. I had so much fun! There are bathrooms along the way if needed. We found the maps useful. We did not use our phone map with the app at all. We probably should have- but there are signs and it is pretty easy. Staff explained it all before we left. Take Alpine loop to Animas Fork- see the ghost town- go to Cinnamon Pass and take that to Lake City. Drive through Lake City and follow sign to Engineer Pass. At the top of Engineer Pass- look ahead of where you going and you will see the trial go off to the right. This is Odom Point- you MUST MAKE TIME to stop there. It is the best view! People get married there and I see why. Then follow the trail back. We got rained on on the way back and it was COLD on the hot summer day. My hands got so cold I couldn't feel them. I also got soaked and covered in mud. I had so much fun but would have been happier if I had listened to my husband and brought rain gear. Rock Pirate employees were so helpful and nice and we are so grateful for all their help and advice. I would highly recommend them for any adventure! I cannot wait to do this again and would love to come back for a snowy experience in Silverton with them!

We were a group of 14 on 4 different machines. Our first contact with Tom when getting everyone…read moresigned in, he was incredibly rude & disrespectful. He thought our party had come through there before & caused a lot of problems, when my husband assured him that was not us he didn't seem to care or believe him and continued being rude. (This was a repeat trip for only 3 of the 14) The website says gas is included yet we were charged over $300 for a "gas charge" when the final bill came out, in years past, my husband said this never happened. There was no communication as to why we were charged this excess fee & when my husband asked to talk to Erik who he had worked with in years past, Tom refused to let him speak to him. I called to speak with Erik and was told he would call me back, he never did. Our 4 machines were returned with gas, they didn't have to drive to us with gas cans. The tires on the machines were worn but 1 machine in particular was very worn. We got a flat on the top of a mountain but thankfully there were some kind people who gave us a plug & aired us back up so we could get on our way. We got a 2nd flat (same bald tire) as we neared Rock Pirate & pushed the helping hands button, we waited but after 45 minutes the majority of us decided to head into town with the other 3 machines thinking we'd pass our "help" on the way but never did. The teens working were nowhere in sight but eventually did come out from behind the shop but didn't know anything about our call for assistance. They never got it. Hmmmm.....Eventually they finally headed out to get my husband. If you want a pleasant up front experience from employees that treat you with kindness & respect, honest workers that don't charge you because they feel like it, I would steer clear of this place! Customer Service lacks & so does their integrity.

Ryan is almost overly cautious (in a good way ;) ). He would not let us fly the first day due to the wind, but we came back the next day and his team was ready.

I highly recommend this activity if you are in Telluride. You won't regret it!

Days before our reservation, they told us they didn't have our jeeps, vehicles were gone, and they might cancel part of our trip. We tried everything on our end, different vehicles, different dates, but it didn't fit around lodging we'd already committed to. In the end, weeks of planning fell apart because they simply could not deliver what we'd already paid for. Instead of making it right, they kept 10% plus fees, the exact penalty written for a customer who backs out on their own. We didn't back out. They failed to deliver and charged us for it anyway. When we laid out the facts in writing, we got the same scripted policy line back, no acknowledgment, no accountability. When we followed up again asking for what we're still owed, by text and by phone, we got silence. No reply. No answer. A family trip planned months out, upended days before departure, and the company that caused it never bothered to make it right. Book here at your own risk.

The more you know, the better choices you can make! Here at the bottom of the Durango ski village right near the swimming pool is a fun little nine hole disc golf course. The scenery is breath taking and is a fun little course. One of the biggest plusses, it's pretty darn cheap. You only have to supply your own disc. To note: You will have to provide your own frisbee / disc one per player. I would suggest bringing a back up just in case you loose one or it gets caught up in a tree! Fun disc golf course!
