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.

Love it 9/10/2020

- Cindy Lyons on Google

We stayed in a tent site. The sites were a little close together but had shelters and the grounds had a very fun vibe. They had great events and the staff were amazing... 9/9/2020

Just stayed at the KOA in Estes. It was very close to the Marina which was a nice short drive. Also, almost right next to the Sombrero Stables... 9/8/2020

Clean and neat office, helpful staff. Book a stay with confidence. 9/18/2020

I've stayed here multiple times and I'll keep coming back. 9/16/2020

Staff is very accommodating and friendly 9/15/2020

The place was a little cramped but we didn’t go there for the stay but the Park. It was very clean and the staff was so helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the herd of Elk that walked thru the campground in the morning. 9/15/2020

It was great. The restrooms were very clean. Only complaint would be the amount of people coming a going in the middle of the night and having their lights shine in the tent. 9/15/2020

Very friendly 9/15/2020

A really nice KOA. Staff/ owners? were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed staying here. Everything was well kept and clean. Thanks Brad for all the helpful tips on area trails/attractions. 9/15/2020

This KOA has arguably the best location in the valley, and it has done a LOT with the space it is--perhaps too much, actually. The campsites are very close together, many without trees or other natural barriers between them... 9/14/2020

Perfect location and cabin was great! 9/14/2020

Great place. Great time 9/14/2020

Lovely campground! We stayed in a deluxe cabin and it had so many extras like the gas grill and the fire pit. Yes, the cabins are close together but it's Estes Park plus we had friendly neighbors on both sides. It was a great campground and I'd recommend it to anyone... 9/14/2020

Comfortable. Beautiful surroundings. Peaceful. 9/14/2020

Awesomw place! Great views! Warm bathrooms! 9/14/2020

We stayed in a cabin. During our stay, it snowed and we were plenty warm. However, there was quite a huge gap in our door that let mice in very easily. They were quite bothersome even though we had no food or trash in the cabin... 9/14/2020

Well managed, clean and very well maintained. Camp hosts are excellent! 9/11/2020

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.
