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.

Unfortunately we cannot allow Electric vehicles to charge on our campground, our grid cannot handle the draw that electric cars take. We have several electric charging stations in the town Grand Lake.
Most are near coffee shops and restaurants, please visit our local businesses while you charge!

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

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.

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.

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.

For our sites that do not have sewer hookups, we have a honey wagon service that runs on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Please let us know before 8:15 AM to schedule your pump out.

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 Video Games, 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!
