Book near the river asap 🖤

My husband, 8 month old son, and I spent our first 4th of July here with our new camping trailer (lol we’re still learning all the ropes about using it and supplies needed). We forgot we needed those hose slinky things 😵‍💫 and the facility had an extra one for us to borrow for free which was insanely nice 🙏🏻 the whole staff is incredible and sweet. They have a working laundry facility and at least 2 restrooms. And a very nice shower. Like it makes me think of an actual spa! They have a really nice playground with those bench swings you can sit at and watch your kids and a propane fireplace. Down by the river they have more chairs, benches and another bench swings and another propane fireplace pit to enjoy the scenery, play in the water, or fish. My husband and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay here 🖤 and my son really enjoyed the attention lol 😆 it sounds like they’re continuing with small upgrades as well like they’re waiting to receive a baby swing to add to their playground.

Even if you don’t have an RV to bring out here they have a few to rent as well as 1 or 2 cabins and a few tent spots.

I think the only con is that the tents are the furthest from the restrooms but also don’t see it as a huge deal breaker because it is a cozy area where everywhere is still close.

If you want one of the spots near the river definitely book way in advance! They book fast for a good reason! Definitely jealous of the people that manage to get the spots with a water front view after looking up the place on tiktok 🖤

Peaceful Beautiful park

Our favorite campground in Colorado! We love the views, how quiet it is and how friendly everyone is.  Our kids can run around and be kids, play at the playground, get in the water if it's safe and fish all year.  We LOVE to visit and it's a must visit!  (Join the email they send a lot of coupons and deals!)
