Elk Meadows Lodge

I don’t recommend coming here!!! Looks are deceiving; they jam you in spots, so much so that their is no place to put a picnic table, or you can hardly get out of your RV seriously; without falling over your picnic table! The grounds working staff are rude. Your promised all these activities here and they don’t have them!!! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED for what you get!!!
A big rip off is what I experienced this weekend!
1. $ 70 per night — ridiculously overpriced!!!
2. No trees for shade!
3. OBSTRUCTED VIEWS — because rigs are piled up on top of each other like a ‘cheap trailer park’!
4. NO PEACE AND QUIET — because the rig next to us had their noisy generator (air conditioner) going into the evening, so we couldn’t even enjoy the sounds of elk buggling! Then their picnic table was 10 feet from my front door where the whole family sat to eat!!!
5. NO campfire pits! What’s up with that?! ONLY at the tent sites!
6. When there’s NO pool, live music or activities, the price needs to be reduced!!!
7. Asked if we could park our trailer for a few hours (after check out) so we didn’t have to take it into the park, and you wanted ANOTHER $ 15!!! Oh come on!!! Now, who’s greedy! The marina charges $ 5!
You can bet that I’ll never stay at your place again and will be letting everyone I talk to, not to stay there! It was A VERY DISAPPOINTING experience!!!

Wow, there are some very bad reviews on here so we were slightly reluctant. Nevertheless, we just bought a new RV and wanted a place close to home that was easy to get to for our Maiden Voyage out. We had a very nice time! Every staff we spoke with, women behind front desk, men out on golf carts (we don’t know if we spoke directly to the owners or not) we found extremely friendly and helpful. We didn’t have enough blocks to properly level our RV so they let us borrow some for free! Loved the dog park, thought the putt putt place was cute and the lodge was nice too. I’m not sure what some ppl are looking for in a CAMPground… you are in the mountains after all. CAMPING. Not at a hotel. Ppl also complained about non-​level sites… again, you are CAMPING and if you want parking lot type RV sites, then head down south to Garden of the Gods. Great access to and from town as well as into RMNP. The only stinky thing was that there are no fire pits at the sites, which would have been nice to roast marshmallows and such. But we still had a great time. We will be back!

Very nice campground with great location. Cleanest bathrooms and showers you will ever find! Friendly staff with a variety of sites. We stayed in a premium tent site which I recommend. A bit pricey.

Zero stars would be more like it. We had a group of young people come to Estes and they stayed in the tepees. Three teepees, three nights $ 900. The girls were concerned because the flap on the tepee would not stay closed. They asked the manager if it could be fixed, manager sent down maintenance but also notified the owner who came down and created enough of a problem that the police were called in. He threatened the minister who was the group leader shouting «Do you understand English». They were then asked to leave so we put them up in our church and they were a wonderful group of young people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE … RUN IF YOU HAVE TO! There are other campgrounds here in Estes Park that do want your business and will be cordial. Have heard that anyone that complains about anything is asked to leave.

This is a beautiful park — no, it is not manicured like some parks — I would describe it as rustic but well maintained with a friendly staff. IMO, you stay here for the surrounding beauty, convenience and wildlife viewing. Not to mention tons of recreational opportunities. The first time I saw the park, I wasn’t overly impressed, but this is now my second trip here, as the location cannot be beat if you love the outdoors. The park really grows on you once you stay here. After seeing others in the area, I think this us the best option for a large RV.

The campsite was kinda blah but the bar/​recreation spot and the staff there made up for that! Really nice guys and lots to do on-​site. We also did our laundry here and things worked fine.

This park was very dusty and dirty. There is no grass area for dogs only rocks and itchy weeds. The sites are unlevel. We had to move the picnic table to the front of our motorhome right by the road just to get it level enough to sit anything on it. Our area just outside the door was a steep incline and unusable. Our friends that camped with us had their neighbors sewer hookups just 3 feet from their door. They also had no usable space to sit outside and enjoy the views other than on the edge of the street. Anytime a car drives by you get dust blown. The pool and hottub were closed for repair while we were here. It is close to the national park but that’s about the only thing it has going for it. The WIFI is weak and unusable We were charged an extra $ 10/​night because we had 2 little boys with us. I would not call this a resort and don’t feel it is worth the price in any way. We have stayed at much nicer places for way less. We will NOT ever waste our money at this park again.

We stayed here from 9÷30÷12 — 10÷2÷12 with our 2 dogs in our 32 ft 5^th wheel RV. It is a nice big open field/​meadow with nice big RV lots. We had full hook ups, including a hook up to non-​hd cable, so don’t forget your coax cable b/​c your hd antennae will not work. 1^st night tried to watch TV on our computer (free wifi), but bandwidth not big enough — signal strength was great. The people running the place are very nice & accommodating. The views were beautiful… we even had elk right outside our door (elk breeding season). The road to the Rocky Mountain National Park runs along the backside of the park. Estes Park shopping/​dining area is 2 miles away — so great location! No real activities, but YMCA is 2 miles further down the road (my extended family stayed there in cabins) & has a ton of activities. My husbands only complaint is that the sites are not well graded, so the back end of our RV was kind of far off the ground, which is where our door is, so the dogs & I had a little trouble entering.

We stayed in the RV Park and for the price of 49.50 per night with our Good Sam Discount, we have definitely stayed in better RV parks. The sites are a mix of gravel and DIRT. If it rains this turns «muddy» and will stick to everything. When I made reservations I asked for 50 amp, we were late check in and when we got to the site it was 30 amp so there was not anyone to see about changing sites. So, we ended up staying in the site we were given.

This place is situated in a beautiful low-​lying meadow just on the outskirts of Estes Park, Colorado and you’re surrounded by mountains on all sides. They have RV hook-​ups, camp sites, and my favorite… tipi’s! The price is comparable and the location is perfect. They have clean bathrooms, and even a pool and hot tub. We’ll be sure to return!
