There are trees throughout the campground and grass between the sites. There is a nice laundry room. Ethernet internet service is available at the office and Tengo internet is available at the site. When we were there the first day was free and you could sign up for additional days for a fee. AT&T Cell service worked fine and so did DirecTV Satellite.

This park is located just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is a large campground with many RV and tent sites. We had a gravel pull through with fire ring, picnic table, WIFI and full hookups. We had plenty of room for our slides. The sites are close together but the location and views of the mountains makes up for that. The best part about the park is its location.

We were here on Memorial Day Weekend and although the campground was almost full it didn’t feel overly crowded.
