Stayed here for two nights in our camper. I was instantly disappointed when I realized I had been duped by misleading reviews and the marketing wizards who made this place look like a nice place to camp.
First I will start with the pros to give a fair and adequate review.
Pros:
-Friendly staff
-Discount on firewood for staying there
-Convenient access to supplies at camp store
-Proximity to Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, and Rocky Mountain National Park
-Quiet campground
-Cabins looked nice to stay in
Cons:
-Expensive for the lack of quality our site offered
-Crowded spaces, most of your area will be your neighbor’s septic hose
-Lackluster views, the RV sites are behind the convenience store on gravel, not facing the reservoir
-Campground seems mostly composed of seasonal or residential campers and miscellaneous debris
-Every metal fire pit I saw had junk and trash in it, including ours on arrival
-Cats roam the grounds at night which isn’t ideal for walking our dogs around
-The only grass was by the store to walk your dogs on
-Place seemed kind of sad and depressing for a fun family or couple getaway unless you were staying in the cabins
-People pulling up to occupy the site near us instantly echoed our looks of regret and disappointment when they saw how small the sites were and that our septic hose met the bottom of their camper stairs
Please do not confuse Horsetooth Inn and RV Park for the County run campsites for Horsetooth Reservoir. Not the worst two nights of camping but by far was a frustrating experience to see what we got for what we paid and to feel fooled by the website’s photos and other campers’ reviews.
Very beautiful location and spots for long term rentals! so close to the reservoir, has a convenience store on site, water/sewer/trash included in rent. Can't really beat this location if you enjoy the outdoors and being outside city limits but close enough to town to still go get things easily when needed! Between the wildlife, the views, and the location it's all a win in my book!!
Great camp hosts. Clean sites, clean bathrooms. Some sites are a little close to the houses on the marina side but overall a great location.
An amazing place to stay long term! Friendly staff who addresses issues immediately & fills propane as needed! Cutest onsite store well stocked & priced. Family oriented with ease of access to the Rez. Kind neighbors who look out for each other & often paddle board, kayak together. Beautiful wildlife, sunsets and sunrises! A unique one of a kind location that provides the peaceful environment one seeks when RV living!
