Winding River Resort

We had a non-utility tent camp site for 3 nights and it was a great experience! Highly recommend especially for groups with children. The bathrooms were outstanding :) The kids really enjoyed riding bikes around the campsite and exploring. The pancake breakfast was also well worth the money. Having the general store was helpful for additional ice, firewood and any of sundries you may have forgotten. Would recommend for sure and would visit again in the future!

We camped at Winding River for three days last week in a small Winnebago. and it was a beautiful campsite with aspens all around us in full bright yellow. The hosts (husband and wife) were extremely helpful when I asked them many questions about the area. The bathrooms were immaculate and everyone was so friendly. I would definitely camp there again.

Overall an unpleasant experience— My rating is mostly due to the poor interactions I had with the horse stable personnel. You can tell a lot about a business by the way they interact with customers. Good businesses are sympathetic and reasonable, putting customer experience first. Due to technical issues, I did not receive confirmation of my reservation or instructions. I arrived much prior to my appointment time, however they had already left without me. I spoke to stable manager Isaac Baugher, who was very unprofessional and not willing to produce a refund despite the circumstances. They admitted they routinely leave much prior to the agreed upon time. Finally I got in touch with the resort manager Nick Hanson who processed the refund, without apology. How many customers in the past have been left prior to their appointment time, while Winding River pocketed the money? I would guess this has resulted in many thousands of dollars. The only way I got my money back is by figuring out how to contact the resort manager. The campground itself was okay although quite overpriced. Nickel and dime is the standard here with any additional activities, services, or items you would want or need while staying.

Reception was great. Very nice staff and very welcoming. My dislikes were the pond and no trees. The pond needs cleaning out terribly bad. We couldn’t sit beside the water or enjoy it at all. I was hoping to be in some trees, but that’s partly my fault…I should have asked. The grounds were very bare and open. But, we would stay there again. It was very close to the RMNP entrance which was a huge plus.

We absolutely love this campground! It’s beautiful, clean, well maintained and the staff is very nice and accommodating. It’s very close to the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The town of Grand Lake is close with a few restaurants and a small grocery store. But is you need medical help you’ll have to go to Grandby.
