Excellent but expensive park

The staff was well organized providing an easy check-in. We thought for a RV park of this size the spacing was not bad. Ours was a back in space that allowed the truck to park next to the trailer. The ground is hard pack dirt laced with goose poop. Unfortunately our site had a wooden platform to cover a wet hole or something that did get in our way during setup and take down.

A pond (Spruce Lake?) is a primary feature of the park. A license is available to fish for stocked trout. The grounds are well maintained which added to the the very RMNP atmosphere sporting mountain views in every direction. The Big Thompson River borders the north side where adjacent camp sites will have that constant fluid sound. A walking trail also follows the banks of the river with many places to meditate. One could walk to a small grocery store and restaurants nearby. 

Spruce Lake RV Park like many of the corporate RV parks have what I consider to be draconian, nanny rules. It makes one feel like walking on egg shells that some simple violation will get you kicked out with no where else to go. Guess that's why I prefer boon docking and NPS. It is for this reason one star was deducted. An excellent RV park otherwise.
