Dog Policy

Well behaved pets are always warmly welcomed. All dogs must remain on leash.  Retractable leashes are acceptable but must be reeled in to a 6 ft. length when near other campers with or without other dogs. Any aggressive animal behavior will be met with swift action to protect the safety of all campers and their pets. Aggressive behavior includes excessively barking, growling, baring teeth, biting, etc. If your dog displays aggression towards other dogs or campers, 1) we will have to ask you to confine your dog to your camping unit, 2) leave the campground (any refunds will be at the managers discretion). The safety of everyone is our first concern.  

We are a dog-friendly campground and do not charge for pets kept in our guest's camping units. (RVs/Tents). We do have a 2-dog limit per RV site and cabins and a 1-dog limit per tent site.

Grand Lake KOA Marijuana Policy

We pride ourselves on being a “Family-Friendly” campground. Our goal is to create an environment that promotes a positive/healthy environment in which families can create extraordinary memories for a lifetime. While marijuana is legalized in the State of Colorado, we are a private campground, and therefore we can ban the use of marijuana from our campground. We have chosen to ban the use of marijuana on our premises in order to provide families with the best possible experience to create those family memories. If a camper is using marijuana, then they will be: 1. Asked to stop the use immediately, advising them of our campground's policy. 2. If they choose not to do so or begin to use it again, they will be asked to leave immediately without a refund.

Garbage

Please place your garbage in one of our bear-proof dumpsters after the dumpster has been closed for the night. We use bear bars to prevent bears from getting into the dumpsters.

RV Washing

We do not allow campers to wash their cars or RV's.  We do allow, in certain instances, for the camper to wash their windshield, in order to avoid fees from RV rental companies.

Quiet Hours

Quiet Hours are from 10:00pm until 8:00am. Please be considerate of others.

Gray water

Gray water must be collected and disposed of responsibly at our dump station. We do offer onsite pumping services - check in the office for scheduling.

Firearms and Fireworks

These are not allowed at all. We have a zero tolerance on this issue.

Meet Your Hosts

Greg and Peri Ann Query

Welcome to Grand Lake!

We've been happy campers for a long time. Much of our family camping experiences have been in Wisconsin. When our children became travel-worthy, we made several multi-state trips to national parks. Greg was in scouting and has always loved life outdoors. Peri studied outdoor recreation and park administration in college, camped as a child with her family, and has worked in a variety of state, federal and municipal park settings.Our Daughter, Jamie, worked at O'Connells Jellystone campground for two years. In 2016, she learned about campground management from the owner of Smokey Hollow Campground in Wisconsin. Jamie enjoys acting, playing Xbox, reading, bicycling, woodworking, and just being outdoors. Mark, 19, enjoys camping, Minecraft, riding bicycles, swimming, fishing, doing puzzles and eating pizza. We are blessed to have KOA Campgrounds on both sides of Rocky Mountain National Park!
