The only reduction in stars is because, like others have said, you are right on top of everyone else. It's basically a line of parked campers, but as long as you know what you're getting that's fine. Everyone else was friendly and quiet after hours, and as long as you're mostly using it as a base camp for off site adventures it's not a problem. Also, the pool is supposed to be heated but was pretty chilly. Like I said, we'd go here again. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, ours had hookups. Most importantly, the bathrooms are clean, new, and well kept. As long as you know you'll be up close with your neighbors and won't have shade trees it's a good place to go.

This was an AMAZING campground for a trip to RMNP! We saw so many elk and mule deer right from the…read morecampgrounds majestically roaming free. It was truly magical. Our campsite was perfect and up at the far / left end of the campground site. We had picturesque views at all hours of the day. The bathroom closest to our campground was just the potty portion, but there was a full bathroom just down the drive with showers and sinks and such. Our fellow campers were kind enough to rescue our tents and pin them down with rocks while we were out hiking (thank you, kind humans!). Our whole experience here was wonderful, and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. The RV spots to be fair (as other reviewers mention) were more lackluster. The tent sites, especially at the outer edges, are where it's at!!

We held another family reunion here to commemorate the one we had 20 years ago. I'm going to share…read moremy experience and both positive and negative in hopes it's helpful info for other families planning a similar event. BOOKING AND RESERVATION PROCESS: 2 stars My brother booked and placed a substantial deposit over 2 years ago on a large reunion cabin and the adjacent large cabin. As the event neared, we met virtually with camp hosts who informed us that they can't guarantee we get the cabins we reserved. They'll "try," they said, but can't guarantee we'll get those adjacent cabins. Our only theory is the Y reserves the right to bump outsiders should an esteemed member want what we reserved. It all started off on a wrong foot, and combined with the impossible act of reserving additional cabins or rooms on April 1, when reservations open to the general public, it started to feel risky and like we made a bad choice. To me, it seems a reasonable add-on to the reunion booking process to allow us to book additional cabins in advance so we can find rooms for all family. Within minutes at 8:00 am on April 1, small cabins and most lodge rooms were snagged up. They also said we couldn't access the cabins until after 6 pm on arrival day. That meant we had to figure out a way to keep all of our food we purchased chilled until we could put it in our cabin's refrigerator. As it turned out, we did get the cabins we reserved/requested AND they were ready far earlier than our 5 pm arrival time. Total experience? Nerve-wracking. CABINS/ACCOMMODATIONS - 2 stars I get it - lots of large groups use this place. All the more reason to maintain them in a manner that is safe & comfortable for all. We had two sofas, one of which was unusable and a number of small issues that were eventually addressed. THE GOOD/POSITIVE: So much for youngsters to do, but be prepared to spend a lot of time driving kids back and forth to each activity. My "sense" was kids got to try a few new things, like horseback riding and archery, for an add-on fee. Good hiking trails. Downtown Estes (and an additional amusement park), are a short drive away in downtown Estes. Snack shop and little store on campus. All in all, maybe it's my age getting the best of me but I didn't find the accommodations very comfortable- just the 2 aforementioned couches, 1 of which was broken. All other chairs are wooden. So there's a point, as an adult, when the beauty of the mountains starts to wear thin when you're not as comfortable as you'd like to be. Bottom line? Go into it prepared. Try out a smaller cabin before opting to book for a huge reunion to make sure it will fit your family's needs. I wish they were a bit more accommodating and generous with furniture, etc., in their lodging. If you like Rustic, you'll love it here.

The staff here is wonderful and there is even the Rustic Cafe inside the registration building to grab a quick bite all day. The YMCA backs up to Rocky Mountain National Park and the entire place is easy to navigate. If you want something out of the ordinary but in-line with history, check out the Lula W Dorsey museum which is also on campus and see all the history the Y has had to offer over the last 100+ years! This is a great place to unwind and really connect with nature. If you have ever heard of shrinyoku (forest bathing), this is a place to do it. Wildlife will hang around here at all times of the morning and later in the evening too. Most of all experience it all and make memories!

Sarah picked us up at Stonebrook Resort, where we were staying, at 5:10 a.m. Since it was early on Memorial Day, we did not need to pay an entrance fee or schedule timed entry into the park. Sarah took us up to Many Parks Curve and pointed out the numerous peaks in the distance to the northwest while describing various points of interest below. The sun rose quietly in the east, making the entire experience peaceful and beautiful. She drove us as far as Rainbow Curve, where the road was closed, then walked us farther up the road so we could take in additional views. Throughout the trip, Sarah shared local history, explained natural events over the past century that have shaped the park, and answered our many questions. We were also lucky enough to see several bull and cow moose near their calves, bull elk, bighorn rams, and even a Colorado pika. The tour lasted approximately three hours and ended back at our lodging. We highly recommend Sunrise Tours of Rocky Mountain National Park to anyone looking for a quiet, memorable experience of RMNP in all its natural beauty. Sarah was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and her insight, warmth, and familiarity with the park made the tour even more special.

Very disappointed in this RV Park. We have stayed here before but this time it was disappointing…read more I had reserved a spot 1 year in advance, but I was given a different spot. I asked to move to the site that I had reserved and the lady checking in said no, not available. The site that I had reserved a year in advance stayed vacant for 6 out of the 8 days we were there. The lady also said that each site has cement slabs!!! Really....go out and look at the cement slab on site #56, that is if you can find it buried under the rocks. Once we did find it and swept it off if was about a 3x3 ft slab. Very different from the cement slabs at other sites. SInce she would not let us move to the site that I had reserved I had asked to be moved to another site #44 as we were very dissapointed in site #56, she told me no the trailer that is expected in there is longer than your and it will not fit in #56 so we cannot swap. Well again this was untrue. When the rv came for site #44 it was not larger than our trailer AND they were only there for a couple of days and the other days it sat vacant like so many other sites. As a consolation for not giving us the site that we had reserved she offered to give us a 10 ft. roll of sewer pipe since ours would not reach at the site #56, she told me that this 10 ft. roll was a value of $89 so I should be happy. Manor RV Park may be selling a 10 ft roll for $89, but I can assure you that a 10 ft. roll does not cost $89. Unfortunately, it was just one disappointment after another when it came to this RV Park. People talk about the reasonable price of this park and that may be true, however you get what you pay for and the grounds, driveway entering and leaving this park,lack of ammenities and extremely poor customer service really show. Luckily besides sleeping we didn't spend much time at this RV Park.

We lucked into a private tour of Roosevelt National Forest. Our guide, Jay was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He seemed like a cool guy, relatable and interesting. He took us to a "super secret" spot, showed us some incredible views and schooled us up on the trees and animals who live there. The tower was impressive. We heard a lot more stories and facts there. As we left the tower he asked us, "since it's just the two of you, you can chose, do you want to go back and see more panoramic views or do you want to take the roller coaster back?" We chose the later. It was an absolute crazy time! Jay was really good at reading "the room". As we finished that segment he told us that he usually drives twice that fast. Holy wow. What he offered during the whole 3 hour adventure was perfect! This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

I was impressed that Nick took every safety precaution and made sure we were prepared before and during our hike. The scenery was beautiful and the company can't be beat.
