Spent night on way home from FL. They have several camper/RV slots in back parking lot. Easy to park, not even though, but for night wasn’t an issue. Lots of garbage flying around due to high winds, trucks and cars with loud mufflers coming thru parking lot at night. Not sure why, if they were from the 2 hotels next door, employees, or just kids since it was a Friday night. But, overall slept fine, ate breakfast there at the Cracker Barrel, and felt safe overall.

We called ahead to ensure we could park overnight. They told us no problem. We parked as far away from store as possible. Only ones there for the night. Conveniently located off the highway and close enough to restaurants to walk to, so we didn’t need to unhitch. Lots of lights so felt safe. At night there was some road noise, large trucks or cars/motorcycles with loud exhausts, maybe because we were close to airport. Felt it was a good place to stop overnight.

This is pretty new. We were in site #44, didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring like those on the inside of the loop. Was told the drive thru’s had priority and eventually they may get tables and fire rings for the back in sites. Everything has small gravel, flat surfaces so easy to park and stay level. Very convenient to bike trail (adjacent to property) and to the boat ramp for kayaks and SUPs. Full hookups, new laundry area, nice dog park. There’s also a very large dog park just a short walk near Las Colonias Park. Edgewater Brewery is close enough to walk or bike to. Downtown is also close with some great restaurants. Lunch Loops mtn bike trails are an easy bike ride away on the paved bike trail. It’s also an easy drive or bike ride to Palisade for fun wine tasting. Love this area and this new campground makes it easy to enjoy all that the Western Slope has to offer.

Loved this little campsite between homes and other permanent camper sites. Easy walk to the beach, they also rent anything you need for the beach. Right on a little creek. The herb garden was awesome and made our meals taste that much better. I spoke to the owners on the phone and they were super friendly and helpful. Kevin and his his wife from Louisiana were hosts and take care of everything while the owners were gone during our stay. The hosts were wonderful. We received a packet of s’more ingredients and they made a fire so we could make our s’mores. It was great talking to them about their RVing experiences. We were the only ones there before a busy weekend which would fill up the place. We had full hook ups and they allowed dogs. Very clean with privacy trellises of flowering plants between sites. Loved it, would definitely come back and stay here.

We spent a few days here as a start to a month long trip north on to Canada. Couldn’t have been more pleased with our site and the campground. We had a basic site, 001, Arnica Loop. It would have been nice to have water and electricity, but we needed to test our anew solar system and Starlink. Everything on our side worked great. The campground surrounds the lake, but you’ll need to drive to the beach and boat ramp depending which site you have and water water toys you have. We fished with floats one day and caught a big cutthroat. The next day we paddled on our boards. So nice on those 90+ degree days. They have a marina so there are power boats out there to watch out for. The bath house looked brand new and must have just opened. Showers are free. We had a flat tire on our tow vehicle during the weekend, the camp host was as helpful as he could be. Found out NO tire repair shops were open on weekends in Steamboat. The traveling repairman never called us back. We survived with a donut and got things fixed by Alpine Auto on Monday. Deer were regular guests to our site. Flowers were profuse throughout the campground. Everything was beautiful. Highly recommend to get away from it for a while and enjoy the lake. Felt like old fashioned camping days.

Spent night here so we could check out the area. We’re from Golden, CO so wanted to see our sister city after a week in Banff and other parks. This campground has sites on the river and bike path and in another section further down the road. Sites east to get into but not much space between them. We had site 19 so we only had a small parking area on one side and another camper on the other. We had electric only, but they have water conveniently located to fill and a good dump station right near the office. It’s also located near the Golden rec center so you can go there if interested. We backed up to the walking/bike trail that led to some awesome mountain biking trails. Will definitely come back to do more and in winter to ski. We did the new attraction—the suspension bridge. They didn’t have all the other things open yet. We’re still building the mountain coaster and the canyon swing was not working. But the bridges were fun and the views were incredible. The campground has a laundry and little store. Overall it’s nice. One big thing to know…across the river is the train track. Trains are very active here so if you don’t like train noise, don’t stay here. I’d rather hear trains than the highway. Cost for one night was C$46.25 includes taxes. Used Starlink because the Wi-Fi was sketchy.

Location is great and the river acces is great. Make sure you reserve correct site for the correct side of your hook ups. We had an even and all hook ups were on left side where as the odd number sites had hookups on the right. We asked to switch sites but all were booked for next nite. Luckily we have only a 21’ft and pulled it out as far as possible to run hoses to connections. Sites are tight together, our door faced next doors sewer hose and our awning almost touched their rig. Not the best configuration. If I had known the awkward placing of the hookups and that all the odd numbers were booked, I’d have gone elsewhere. There is NO 30 amp hook up, only 50 and 120. There is NO laundry as indicated on Campendium. There no website to find out more before reserving. So don’t trust everything on this site, ask if you need something before booking. As newbies, we learned the hard way. Positives, the river is nice, shade trees at each site, gravel-FYI for parking. Picnic tables at each site, and they have these floating tables to rent. Nice place for a quick overnight. Music was playing from one camper during the day. I didn’t mind it but if you want quiet, quiet hours aren’t until later. Close to road, so be prepared for road noise, but it’s a country road so no big semi’s or freeway type noise. No cell service, but they do have WiFi so be prepared for WiFi calling.

Update to previous review. Friday night was insane. Rig next us played music as if we were at a concert. NO ONE from the camp host to owner told them to quiet it down...it was 1030 pm and quiet hours had started at 1000. Motorcycles and 4-wheelers racing by all night. If I wanted to be at a drunk party concert I would have paid to go to one but I don’t expect this at valid campground. Don’t stay here in a weekend unless you don’t want to sleep or have any race and quiet after 10:00pm. I’ll never stay at this place again. Felt unsafe all night, didn’t want to risk ending up in a fight or worse by asking hosts to do their job.

We stayed there for Thanksgiving to visit our son who was there for AF flight training. Campground for active/retired veterans. Beautiful beach is a short walk from sites. Lady who checked us in was very friendly. Our first time staying at a base campground. Sites had good tree coverage for shade. Sites are close together but we met some awesome folks staying around us. Loved that we had so much in common. The campground set up a potluck thanksgiving dinner which was awesome. Great food and camaraderie. We fried a turkey that turned out excellent. Our neighbors had just lost their pup and we’re so wonderful with our dog. Even dog sat while we visited some friends in Fort Walton. Sites were full hook up, bathrooms were clean and conveniently located. Laundry was only $1 a load for wash and $1 for dry. Worked great. The beach was great because we could walk our dog on it. Most FL beaches didn’t allow dogs.

For one or 2 nites, this is a good safe place. Full hook ups, level sites, easy to book on line and check in. Sites are close together but place was quiet and felt safe. Great location for visiting Vicksburg and seeing the sights. They have a large dog park and playground for kids. Pool was closed for winter. Get a Good Sam’s discount which makes it cheaper than other options.
