This is a perfect retreat if you want to get away and enjoy peace and quiet. So clean, great lounging area with tv, kitchen, pool table and more. Stop here for one night, saw the Neowise comet in the clear sky and enjoyed the vast beauty surrounding this campground.
We have stayed here twice now for long term stays of 2 months the first time and in the middle of a 1 month stay now. We came back to this park because it is clean, quiet and the owner is an exceptional host. I am doing this review at this point, in the middle of this stay because there needs to be some clarification of a couple of bad reviews just submitted by a couple of screeching harpies that were removed from the park due to multiple violations of park rules and unruly behavior of these women and their accompanying party. As a witness to the events my wife and I can thoroughly corroborate the owners statements of the events in her reply to these bad reviews. They are complete fabrications with the sole intent to do harm to the reputation of this park. The fact that these reviews are the only bad reviews should speak volumes. If you look at the many many good reviews, that will give you an accurate feel for what this park is actually like.
I have given Painted Rock Park excellent reviews on Campendium also.
We are full timers so we understand how nice a great facility can be. Weekend tent warriors trying to game an honest park owner should not be taken seriously.
This place is a real treasure, truly one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever used. Highly recommended if you are looking for a stop along I-70. We used the tent area and found it spacious, comfortable, and private. The grounds include outdoor games, grill, and an extraordinarily tidy and well supplied clubhouse with a full kitchen, billiards, two bathrooms, WiFi, and children’s play area. The property manager is very friendly and the attention to detail and thoughtfulness is really evident when you stay here. Would choose this over a hotel any day.
Did an overnight here. Checked in at the office and staff was helpful when we had a few questions upon arrival. They allowed us to switch our spot when we had concerns about the approach and a few smaller trees. WiFi was strong and worked well.
The 5miles of dirt road on the way in was okay/not bad with a few large potholes that we were able to avoid. Overnight we experienced torrential rain, hail and wind. In the morning it was a different story. The roads back to the hwy were muddy and our tow vehicle was swaying back and forth, not able to gain traction since the tires were caked in mud.
If you're looking for an easy on/off hwy this campground might not be for you. However it certainly is very calm and peaceful.
In some ways we felt like pictures were a bit deceiving. The grass wasn't mowed around site. They do have a lookout deck but nails were poking out and steps were broken.
Overall park doesn't seem to be as well maintained as expected.
Don't get me wrong, this is a lovely place to stay with beautiful sweeping views from every direction but know what you're in for.
Also important to note that there are no bathrooms/showers available at this time.
