The sound of the Big Thompson River runs through every site at this small RV park in Estes Park, Colorado, where each pull-in comes with a deck positioned directly over the water. Sites are close together, but reviews consistently note how quiet the grounds stay despite the density. Rates run $68 to $235 per night, and campers who have stretched their budget to stay here tend to say the experience justified the cost.
Full hookups including electric, water, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 30 feet, and the bathhouse, while compact, draws repeated praise for cleanliness. Showers and stalls are limited, two of each, likely because many of the longer-term sites and on-site cabins have their own facilities. Staff assists with backing in and pulling out, which matters given how snugly the sites are arranged. Cell service has come up as a minor concern in at least one review, so connectivity-dependent travelers should plan accordingly.
"Each site has a deck over the river," notes Mary D., and that feature is what sets this property apart from other campgrounds just outside Estes Park. The campground sits within easy reach of Rocky Mountain National Park, making it a practical base for day hikes. Reservations are strongly advised, especially for summer weekends. The park runs May through October 1 and allows pets. Campers wanting more space or a different setting might consider Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort or Spruce Lake RV Park nearby.
