Beautiful location, poor cell service

Vallecito Resort in beautiful Bayfield CO. We stayed here 3 days. This park is quite beautiful and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and helpful. There are a lot of seasonal residents here but all seem very friendly. We even joined them for a Christmas in July evening of decorating a tree, desserts and listen to Christmas music. Had a nice size spot #56. Very quite at night. Great location for day trips as we visited three near buy lakes, and Mesa Verda National park (used your America The Beautiful pass for free entrance). I would love to stay here longer and visit more locations but was only able to get three days. Cell service sucks with Verizon up here and WiFi available near office area only.

Vallecito RV Resort

We stayed here for 3months. It is a scenic area, within walking distance to the Lake. The sites are tight, close together. The owner went out of his way to get us in for the summer. Really a good owner. A couple of the ladies in the store have personality issues. I assume just a product of their upbringing, but just not friendly at all, and not helpful. The Bathrooms & Laundry are clean and up to date. Wifi was being upgraded but it was almost non existent , might be better now. Phone service was also non existent. There was one spot on the backside of the park you could get a signal to check messages and mail. The rates are good. Daily, Weekly, monthly and also seasonal. Overall, a nice place to visit, just a little tight, and dont expect a smile at the store!
