Looking for a rude camp host? This is the place. The fees are higher than you can find elsewhere. Much much better service and amenities at Riverview campground at the mouth of the canyon. Estes Park campgrounds best this one for views by a million times.
Awesome experience! Location can not be beat and Laurie was so nice to talk to. We talked to her for almost an hour in the morning and shared stories. 10/10 would stay here again
After reading some of the reviews about this campground, we were hesitant about staying. I am glad we gave this campground the benefit of the doubt. First, I called and spoke to the owner about space and found out they had available spaces with water and power, and without. I said we were coming to see the fall colors. About a week before we were scheduled to leave home for this trip, the campground called and told us our timing for peak colors was going to be perfect - who does that anymore? When we arrived, we were shown the grounds and told we had a choice in where we wanted to stay - dry camp or with connections. We chose to dry camp as it backed up to the river. and we had plenty of room Our spot was well maintained, had a nice fire pit, maintained grass and picnic table. Also, the lot was fairly level and it took no time to set up. During our stay, we needed to have a part sent to us and the campground was more than helpful in coordinating the delivery and accepting our package. The owner brought it to our site as soon as we arrived from a day of exploring. Overall, our experience at Drake was excellent and we received old-school, personal attention from the first phone contact, right up to the day we left. We will plan on returning next year - the campground is very nice and the owner is delightful. Highly recommended.
Found this little piece of heaven quite by accident while riding my Harley back from Estes. Lori and Jeff are open year round. Amazing location, many sites water front. Only 11 or so offer power, but inverter generators are welcome. They have water to fill ur tanks and a dump (for a cost). We WILL be back as soon as weather warms back up.
My wife and I found this little piece of heaven last minute on memorial weekend. The owner, Lori, had a spot to accommodate our 45' toy hauler. Right next to the river with trees all around us. She had no issues with how many dogs we had and even let us run our generator. We loved it so much that we went back the following weekend, and are planning a couple more before season ends. This place is beautiful, affordable and Lori is an amazing person!!! Definitely recommend staying here!
