My experience was shocking!
I have to complain about the price to visit a friend for 2 hours!! They charged 5 dollars per person then 5 dollars foe the car!! Now that I think about it the gal charged me 17.00,was there tax on space??? This was a total rip-off ! FYI if you need to visit a friend just go to their spot do not stop at the WELCOME OFFICE! The pool was closed,excuse me what did I actually pay for??
Well, what is there to say about Elk Meadow Lodge and RV. We booked a tent site for Fri-Sun. We are a fully contained truck with a roof top tent but we're not allowed an RV site (despite the fact we would have loved electricity and water, and were willing to pay for that luxury). We pulled in after hours to a $h1t show. Our site was unlevel (in the extreme, I pity the people in ground tents that don't have leveling blocks), had no picnic table, and had our neighbors fire pit 6 feet from the side of our truck. Since it was after hours I had to call the 'emergency number' so that my boyfriend and I would have the $50 a night luxury of cooking our dinner on a table. I also expressed concerns about the fire pit damaging our truck or roof top tent, to which I was told "well what do you want us to do, since we can't move the fire pit". Obviously not Jill, but I would like to bring it to your attention. She also offered to have us move sites, but since all the fire rings are in the parking space, I'm not quite sure what that would accomplish (excellent planning on their part!!). When Jill, and I'm assuming her husband arrived with the picnic table (all praise Jill for providing what we paid for!) They were nothing but mean, snarky and downright rude. The excuse for lack of a table was "were closing sites for winter). I'm writing this after only being at the offending RV park for 1.5 hours, but I can't wait to leave. You should save yourself the trouble by never entering in the first place. At least the views were pretty, if you like highway noise.
Update #1: Boyfriend almost got bitten by a black widow in the bathroom while turning on the light, someome flew a drone, very low, over our tent at 8 in the morning, children were screaming like coyotes all night (seriously), and it's been a rare moment that dogs have not been barking, yapping or howling (no not the kids this time). And I just got to hear the staff gossiping about us requesting a table. Can't wait to see what tonight brings!
P.S. I am so excited to see what their reply is to this review.
Nice RV Park.
The spaces have generous space between them. The restrooms and laundry are nice.
There is a good-sized dog park, mini golf, and a pool. It's in a quiet location, and there isn't tons of ambient light, so you can see the stars at night.
It is just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park and close enough to Estes Park to be fun and accessible without being in the hubbub.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
We will definitely be back.
Services are great. The staff is amazing all the RV sites are dirt some level and some in level. Views are amazing with wildlife and prairie dog’s running wild. Great fishing along the big Thompson river. Entrance to the Rocky Mountain national forest is across the entrance to the park. Will definitely come back this way.
