Kremmling, Colorado sits at an elevation of 7,364 feet where the Colorado River and Blue River converge. The area's mountainous terrain creates distinct camping microclimates, with temperatures dropping significantly after sunset even in summer months. RV campgrounds near Kremmling typically operate from May through October, with most facilities closing during winter when temperatures regularly fall below freezing.
What to do
Fishing access: Several RV parks near Kremmling provide direct river access for anglers. At Paradise on the River in nearby Estes Park, "each site has a deck over the river. Can't beat the sound of water rushing," according to camper Mary D.
Mountain biking: The terrain surrounding Kremmling offers trails for various skill levels. One camper at Eagle Soaring RV Park noted they "stayed for 5 nights on vacation to ride the mountain bike trails and hike. Was convenient but would consider staying elsewhere in the future."
Water activities: Some parks feature on-site water recreation. At Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain in Granby, "they have an amazing pool! Bowling alley, arcade, restaurant, bars (yes more than one!) they had live music, they have fishing, and dog parks, bike rentals, daily trash pick up from your campsite, firewood delivery," according to one reviewer.
What campers like
Wildlife viewing: The region offers opportunities to observe elk and deer near campgrounds. At Spruce Lake RV Park, a camper reported that "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."
Central location: Campgrounds serve as good bases for exploring multiple mountain destinations. A camper at Red Mountain RV Park said it's the "perfect location if want to hit up winter Park resorts and arapahoe basin, keystone, or breck!! You can take 40 to winter Park in about 50 minutes. And then can take other highway down into silverthorne in 45 min."
River proximity: Campsites along rivers are particularly valued. At River Dance, campers appreciate that "kids loved playing frisbee in the field and swimming in the river." Another visitor noted it was "perfect for a quick swim in the river."
What you should know
Hookup layout: Some RV sites have inconvenient utility connections. At Manor RV Park, campers noted that "the site we stayed at had the sewer dump farther back than we are used to, but not a major problem just had to use our longer hose."
Site privacy varies: Many parks have a mix of secluded and exposed sites. At Grand Lake / Rocky Mountain National Park KOA Journey, a camper observed that they "had a great spot (RV33) which had privacy due to being surrounded by bushes on the sides between the abutting sites, and just a grassy lawn behind us. Not every site had this, and some of the sites were very open, close to the next site, not offering any privacy."
Limited shower facilities: Even at larger parks, bathroom facilities can be limited. One camper at Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort noted that there is "only one shower house, a bit uphill and far from sites. Only cold to mildly warm water in the women's shower (which is too cold in CO.)"
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Some RV campgrounds near Kremmling offer extensive family amenities. A camper at Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain shared, "Beautiful campsite with pool, arcade, bowling, kayak rentals, awesome gym…so much more! The kids will be entertained here, and it's a short drive to Rocky Mountain National park."
Space for play: Look for campgrounds with open areas. At River Dance, a camper mentioned that "kids were happy to play in the field and win in the river."
Recreation variety: Parks often provide different activities for different age groups. According to a Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain camper, "kids enjoyed activities - popsicle eating contest, t-shirt tie dye, and donut decorating. They also loved the clean and well-lit basketball courts."
Tips from RVers
Leveling needs: Some sites require adjustment for RVs. At Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort, a camper reported "wide roads and turns; easy to navigate throughout the campground; quiet; picnic table; spacious, no shade, needed levels on one side of our RV."
Site surface conditions: Gravel pads are common but quality varies. At Grand Lake / Rocky Mountain National Park KOA Journey, an RVer noted "we had E/W hookup, and the gravel pad was mostly level."
Dust management: Unpaved roads can affect air quality. A camper at Elk Meadows Lodge observed "dirt roads throughout so, unless it rained, it was very dusty and so we didn't open our windows as much as we wanted with the fresh mountain air. When it rained and calmed down the dust, then it was perfect to open the windows."
