Elk Meadow Lodge and RV Resort

Great location near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk, deer and turkeys in the park. All gravel campsite nothing fancy. Great views in the campground. We were getting ready to have lunch outside on the picnic table on Saturday, when a worker came buy and took our picnic table. I advised the worker that we were about to eat lunch and later dinner outside. He said too bad they are closing for the season tomorrow and his instructions are to pick up all tables.

Location to the park cannot be beat. Site was very unlevel, we had to work at it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Huge elk herd beside the campground one night. Sites pretty close, gravel roads and sites create a lot of blowing dust. Would definitely stay here again.

Friendly staff, close enough proximity to town for biking in, and nice park amenities, but it was very pricey compared to most other parks with similar features. The sites are not concrete or leveled, though they are close enough. Water pressure is good. Stable electricity. Picnic tables are lightweight plastic. There is enough space between you and your neighbors. Lots of open space in this park.

I read so many reviews prior to arriving at Elk Meadow and was so nervous because of all the bad reviews. However, I can now say that it far exceeded our expectations! Upon check in everyone was so friendly and helpful, we were tenting and easily found our site, complete with a picnic table and fire pit! The bathrooms are easily within walking distance, they’re private AND have a shower (that’s free!! If you’ve camped in, or around, a national park before you know how rare this is). The woman who checked us in even advised us to use the bathrooms connected to the laundry facility as they’re a bit nicer than the ones by the tent site, (and yes they are!). The pool area is very nice, mini golf, horseshoes, corn hole… I don’t know why so many people were complaining. True to the name we even had an elk and her baby come through behind our site. We honestly felt like we were staying at the four seasons of campgrounds. However, most national park campgrounds are not this luxurious. We did not experience much dust, and we had some very strong winds (strong enough that our tent flipped over the second day), the bathrooms were always clean, staff was super helpful, and did I mention it’s 2 minutes to RMNP? We would stay here time and time again!

Campground's amenities were great. Appreciated the off-leash dog run. Bathrooms and shower facilities were clean and worked well. Access to city of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park both extremely easy. RV sites are full service.
