Spruce Lake RV Resort lets you enjoy Colorado at its best. Walk to restaurants and shopping or ride the free seasonal shuttle into town. Ride the whitewaters of the Big Thompson River. You can even discover what inspired Stephen King to write The Shining with a visit to the historic Stanley Hotel. From the beautiful wilderness to the quaint village of Estes Park, it’s all easily accessible from your “home”.

The Denver Post names Spruce Lake RV Resort as the “resort you really don’t need or want to leave.”

Spruce Lake RV Park

Let me preface this review by stating that is it weren’t for some regrettable encounters with one deplorable staff member(manager) this would have been a 4 star review. More on that later.... 

  

This campground is ideally located in my opinion, situated between Estes Park and Rocky Mtn NP, right next to a river, short walk to a grocery store (with shuttle to downtown) and alongside a road you can use to bypass the nasty summer traffic, I can’t think of a better place to be. My family and I stayed here for a week in a 34 ft travel trailer. The campground has a pool, hot tub, office with some supplies, full hookups, spacious sites, playground, fishing pond, laundromat, and a modest mini golf course. I was really impressed with the site width(in a busy destination such as Estes Park you would expect to be crammed in). Each site is bordered by log fencing to add to the feel of a large space. Sites are level and graveled. The pool is decently sized and the hot tub is fairly new. Mini golf is fun(clubs and balls and borrowed from the office) but is a little run down. 

  

So with all this good stuff, what are the cons? Well, the laundry machines are old and expensive. The activities center was never open, even on the 4th of July. No campfires at the sites and the community campfire is uninviting. The wifi is almost non-existent except at the pool/office. The game room is locked and empty. And the manager drives around the campground flying pirate flags and curses out his staff for insufficient reasons, in front of children. When my husband confronted him about this, he huffed off and never apologized, even though he walked by our site frequently. I am told that this is being brought to the attention of the owners, but since no action has been taken as of the time of this post, it is being included in this review. The other staff have been friendly. 

  

Overall, I would stay here again but would make sure the situation with the manager has been rectified.

RV campground between Estes Park and RMNP

after looking at website and a couple of reviews we decided on Manor RV for a couple nights while we were at RMNP. Well to start off I had planned on doing a little fishing on our down time at campground. Park advertises a “river walk” and space for fishing. Well that was a blatant lie. You have about 3’ of space behind all the campers. There is NO river walk. Most people had their dogs tied up back there so it was un usable. Second problem was “wi-fi throughout”or complete lack of. When I went to office I was told I was too far from the office, I was literally 4 sites away. Next was the fact they were absolutely crazy about enforcing no garbage or coolers outside at any time, they made us aware there was a black bear and cub in the area. Well for 4 days the dumpsters were full and their solution was to have campers throw garbage on a flat trailer and they put a blue tarp on it. Campers around this hillbilly solution were a bit concerned.

They em have a employee that tries to help- one star

occasional wildlife wanders thru- second star

Manor RV 

This is a larger campground right in Estes Park!  Spacious sites, stocked pond, pet friendly, and great staff!  

Great Estes camping!


Super friendly staff, clean, short drive to downtown Estes Park. Spaces are VERY close to each other. Kids loved mini golf and the pool. I appreciated the pull through-site and proximity to activities.  If you want to feel “remote,” maybe look at one of the other campgrounds in Rocky Mountain National Park or other sites nearby.  This campground is convenient, clean, and well-maintained but very crowded.  

Nice spot in Estes Park

This park was quiet &amp; has a river running through it we booked in advance &amp; got a spot on the river Site # 41 with full hook up and cable. It's a tight spot but worked for us we have a 22' Travel trailer. Verizon cell got 3 bars yet no wifi.  Had some great neighbors enjoyed sitting by the river with them.  There is a small laundry room there and restrooms. They had an Ice cream social one day it was good. We had Elk &amp; deer in the campground which is nice to see. There is a good burger place close by across from the gas station.

  

Close to Rocky Mountain NP, Estes Park Lake &amp; town. This lake is great for Kayaking &amp; fishing. Saw several Eagles every time we were there. we could have gone to see fireworks their but we hear it's packed &amp; just don't have that in us. 

  

Estes Park town is packed you have to have lots of patients to drive through it &amp; try to shop.

Quiet Park near Rocky Mountain National park

The selling point of this campground is location. It’s as close to Rocky Mountain National Park as you can get without actually camping on NPS property. You are completely surrounded by the mountains and the views are amazing. There’s a beautiful river flowing nearby. Easy access to Estes Park. I biked into downtown and back easily. Close to a great little market and several restaurants. Sites are very tight with no privacy unless you are along the edges of the park. Nice laundry facilities, mini golf, and a small pond. There’s a small dog park but I’d recommend taking your dog to the city’s dog park about 10 minutes away. It’s worth the drive and your dog can go swimming on a beach. 

Great location for RMNL

This park is located just outside of Estes Park, right along the river.  The park is very clean and the staff is exceptionally helpful.  The sites are level, but rather small and close together.  There are no trees in most of the sites.  The facilities were acceptable, although the pool and hot tub were closed during our visit.  The trash pickup was a nice touch, just leave your trash at the front of your site and they collect it.  No canopies are allowed, which is a downside without trees and also no campfires, which will keep our group from returning.

Nice RV park in a fabulous location !

Our site was a back in next to a river with beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains. We backed out 36’ class A without issue. Full hookup and cable.

Great location for Estes Park

We stayed here one night. Spots were ok. Pool and hot tub were closed in July. They didn’t say why. Lots of rules including 7/12 mph speed limit. 


All about location 

We called to see about getting last minute site,  but they were closed for the season.  We rode by.  It is min. from RMNP and Estes Park.  Grocery, restaurants. Shopping are all within walking distance.  The park may have been closed but the Bull elk and his harem were not detoured.   The park does have great views of the national park.  It has propane.   Sites are basically in a field which allows for views.  The creek was still running good.  It is very quiet at night.  

Closed first week in Oct

Staff is friendly.  Campsites are well thought out and comfortable.  Showers are clean and laid out nicely
