Estes Park, Colorado Campground

Your campsite is just 5 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park.

Our campground is suited for small RV's and Trailers. At 7,500 feet, this campground is an ideal base camp for exploring the town of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. During peak summer months, take a free shuttle to the town, and to the national park. Spend a day at the national park, with its pristine wilderness, hiking trails and plenty of elk, moose, bear, coyote and mule deer. Drive Trail Ridge Road for panoramic views from 12,000 feet. Across the street from the campground, you'll find Lake Estes and the Big Thompson River with world-class fly-fishing. Rent pontoon boats, paddle boards, or bikes at the marina. Go horseback riding at Sombrero Ranch next door. Just down the road (about one block) is a family fun park, with mini golf, bumper cars, bumper boats and rock climbing. During peak season, enjoy on-site pancake breakfasts, ice cream socials and free marshmallow roasts. There's free Wi-Fi, and the store is stocked with supplies and souvenirs. Camp in a Tent, RV, Rustic Cabin or Deluxe Cabin.
Your hosts: Greg & Peri Ann Query with adult children, Jamie and Mark.

The owners were awesome. They helped with a generator problem and they operate the most well maintained KOA we have ever stayed at. 5/15/2020

The staff were awesome, welcoming and helpful! The Entire facility was great....clean. The only thing not comfortable about our stay were the pillows. They were extremely hard and didn’t smell good, so we went without. Overall... 5/13/2020

The view was spectacular!! The staff was very friendly, especially Henry. The bathrooms were closed which I understand with COVID19 but feel the price could have been a little cheaper. However... 5/13/2020

Visitors to our area will want to drive the highest national highway in the country. As Hwy 34 winds itself over the top of our Rocky Mountain National Park just to the west, it becomes known as Trail Ridge Road. Trail Ridge Road is the highest paved highway in the country as it passes over the top of Rocky Mountain National Park at more than 12,000. It is typically open for traffic from Memorial Day weekend to late September each summer. Early summer travelers will experience driving by walls of snow perhaps as high as 15'. This is a must do when you are visiting us here in Estes Park.

Fishing and boating are just some of the things to do. There is a marina on the lake where you can rent a fishing or a paddle boat. Also there are bike rentals and you can even rent a surrey for something different. If you like to walk or jog there is a path around the lake. Located ACROSS THE STREET from KOA.
