Best RV Parks & Resorts near Central City, CO

The name has changed; there was an abrupt change of ownership recently.   The web page for Prospect RV Park will get you nothing, and the phone number is disconnected.

The new contact info is Applewood RV resort, 303-872-0091, web page https://rjourney.com/locations/co/wheat-ridge/applewood-rv-resort-llc

Seems from reviews to be nice; it's annoying that "Prospect RV Park" seems to have evaporated from the planet, and it took a lot of googling to find out about the name/ownership change.  It would be nice if the phone/web page had some forwarding.  (That's why just three stars; I may change that after we've stayed there.)

If you're going cross country and need a place to stop and take a break this is a great RV park. The pads are level concrete with either electric or full hook ups. Tons of fishing and trails. Verizon 4g LTE is very good.

Getting to the park from the interstate is quick (1 mile) and easy (all paved until the last 1000 ft.).

Now the bad. And the reason for 2 starts. I-25. The interstate is so close as I type this I can hear in my travel trailer every truck, motorcycle, and car. Going to have to use earplugs tonight to sleep. It's F##king insane the noise.

I stayed at this location a few times the last time I stayed they forcibly broke into my car and stole it. Abandoning me in my travel trailer. No one from the park reached out to me. In fact I had to go to them to ask them to give police the video from the night. Several cars were broke into as well. In addition, they did not offer to contact surrounding campsites tenants for additional video. Since they are severally lacking in surveillance. So I had to go around to every camper and ask. In addition the police will not show up in the area they will text you. Point is if you value belongings don’t pay 60-90/night to have your stuff stolen. Speaking to long term tenants it’s been a problem. Also the bathrooms never have soap and they are from the 70’s a trash rv park. All the spots are paved and some how not level.

This is an older park that is staying open during the 2021 winter season for the first time. It is your typical RV Park with as many sites as possible packed in. But there is grass between each site, a concrete patio and gravel level sites. Picnic tables as well. Some sites are right on the creek, but don't have views of the mountains. There are lots of pull thru sites. Our site #62 was a back-in so the big windshield of our Class A had an amazing view of mountains. RMNP, Beaver Meadows entrance is only 2 miles. There is a bathhouse with showers and a 2nd bathhouse without showers. Water, electricity and sewer is at each site. 2 bull elk were hanging out at our site one day.. The bug herd was just down the street.. there was also a muke deer herd with a big buck hanging out just down the street. It's pretty quiet. The people were super friendly and accommodating. There is propane onsite. Wifi is pretty darn good. It is a Good Sam's property. The water pressure could be a lot better. The restrooms are dated. The shower took a while to heat up and the room was a little chilly. We would definitely

Let me preface this by saying this is the first review I have ever written, but I feel compelled to share because of how horribly rude these people are. The worst experience we've had at an RV Park in almost two years of full time travel. We originally booked 3 nights in the Circle/Meadow Full Hook Up Sites. Then, we booked in the office for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the RV Overflow Lot as we are fully self contained with a large solar set up, and plenty of water. Additionally, we booked the following Friday and Saturday in full hooks up. On Tuesday afternoon, we received a knock on the door from a then-unidentified pair(later identified as the property managers). They were irate, and very angrily informed us that were not allowed to stay in the overflow lot. We explained that we had paid, but were told that it was intended for storage only(definitely was not a storage facility, however). At this point, we tried to apologize and say that there had been a misunderstanding and we were happy to leave. We've traveled to over 46 states and stayed in plenty of these overflow lots, and so we had assumed that was what we were paying for. Additionally, none of the policies we signed in person or listed on their website stated otherwise. However, they continued to be rude, and yelled that we needed to leave the property and that we could receive a refund for our stay. No problem, we're happy to leave- fully understanding that there was a miscommunication(on their end, given we can't be expected to know their policies when not told them). After leaving, we get a call from Alec Buns at corporate stating they will be charging us for a full hook up site even though we did not have full hook ups, and did not utilize any of the amenities in the campground. We again tried to explain that there was a misunderstanding, we left with no fuss, and just wanted our money back. He refused to have a conversation with us, stating repeatedly that he would"not be negotiating" and the"buck stops with him." We have never, in our two+ years of travel, had such a negative experience with such incredibly rude people. An embarrassment to campers everywhere.
