We only stayed in the Elk Ridge loop for one night after a long drive from Mesa Verde. The park is nice and shady with deer walking around... not tame, but not completely freaked out by humans! Dusk walk was nice, and able to see through the trees from the higher sites to the reservoir and mountains! Cell tower right there and the bath-shower-laundry facility was very nice and clean! Price of $36 a night for just electric is a bit steep, but apparently everything is nowadays! Campsites are paved, with tent sites. Quiet this time of the year before the roar of summer travelers!!!
