What we liked / disliked

  • Notes
    • Gravel pads with some rutting.
    • Traffic kicks up the dust!
    • $2.00 showers (bring quarters!)
    • Rocky Mountain National Park requires reservations for entry during the day, or access before 6A and after 5P without reservations.
    • Don’t choose sites in the exit row… traffic after 11P and before 5A was excessive.
    • We wanted to be close to Estes and this park proved to be a reasonable choice. Many of the other RV parks near town were packed full… literally, slide-out to slide-out!
