Elk Creek Campground

Great little campground not far from Glenwood Springs

The campground was located away from the expressway nestled between huge mountains. The views were nice. The campsites were very small and very close to the other campers. I was very surprised to see permanent residence living there or appeared to have been there for a while. I wasn’t expecting that. We were very surprised at the nightly rate of $60. It was not worth the cost in my opinion. We stayed at site nbr 9 with the creek behind. The bathrooms were not very clean. The laundry facility was decent and the cost was $2.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. I’m pretty sure we will not stay here again.

Although our stay here was short, it was awesome. We showed up unannounced after 7pm, RV in tow, only needing a place to crash for the night, and they welcomed us with friendly open arms. They put us in a full hookup site on the river right next to the falls, it was any and everything one could ask for. If they don’t answer the phone (which it was 7pm, might I remind) don’t let it deter you, they more than make up for it when you arrive.

If we could stay more than a night, we would hands down. This husband and wife purchased this campground a year ago, and the pride they take in it shows. This was by far the most personal experience we have had at a camp ground. They have sites for big rigs, tents, pull throughs but I will say, the better you can maneuver your rig, the better view you wake up to, but I believe a novice could make their pull through sites without stress.

Also, to add, the town of New Castle is less than 10 minutes away for dinner, drinks or breakfast, yet the only thing you hear is sound of rushing water.

Really great campground if you want to truly get away. It’s out in the woods right next to a little river. There is absolutely zero AT&T service out here but Verizon gets a few bars. They provide Wi-Fi bits it’s very spotty and drops often. The sites are nice. They are mostly dirt with some gravel. Mostly level. We didn’t have too hard of a time getting our travel trailer level. The hosts are very kind and accommodating. Would stay here again.

We were there June 10, 2021: Under new management who were very friendly! They called it their labor of love! We called at the last moment and they were very accommodating! The site was awesome and we enjoyed our stay there! It was a full campsite but it was easy to back into our spot.
We didn’t take many pictures but simply enjoyed our spot by the stream.
Cell service was not so great, but in the mountains, that is no surprise.

Elk Creek Campground is being revamped and while I didn't stay there before the new owners took over, I can tell they are putting their hearts and sweat into making this campground a place you never want to leave. Currently, things are being turned around. They are super accommodating and very helpful.

Bathrooms were always clean.

Some sites have good cell service, mine did. WIFI is typical of a campground but I was able to work off it while I was there including joining a Zoom conference in the morning. Later in the day when everyone was there things slowed down.

Sites are currently a little wonky in spots but I've been told they plan to revamp the layout and add more trees which is awesome.

New owners are so incredibly helpful and want us to have the best experience. So much so the owner helped me fix a leaking hose connection. They are upgrading the park as sites are a little close. Lots of trees. If you can, get a site by the creek. Very quiet. Love being away from the highway. I highly recommend! Cell service for Verizon is not very good due to mountains.

We love this park. Staff are so helpful. A river runs through the park and sounds so relaxing. Surrounded by trees and mountains. Clean and well maintained. They also have small cabins for people who don’t RV. We plan on returning.

Great location on what is currently a pretty good size river, usually a creek I believe. Helpful staff, great facilities, and just about two or 3 miles outside a really cool town… The pizza place is amazing right on the little downtown strip

If we are passing through this way again, we’re going to stop there for sure.

Very pretty location but the sites are small and we were very close to everyone. All of the staff we met were very nice and helpful. The price is good and we’d stay again if we could pick our site.
