My family of 5 tent camped for 5 nights. We had a great time. The site was flat with a well…read moremaintained tent area. The fire pit was well done (they shovel the ashes out after you leave so it was clean and empty) and the site had a picnic table. The trailer/RV sites are wide open in the front of the campground, but in close proximity to the office and community room/bathrooms. The tent sites are on the back of the campground and separated from the trailer/RV sites by a line of trees and a seasonal creek. There is a walking bridge allowing access to the front of the campground. The walk from our tent to the bathrooms was less than 2 minutes. The community center has free WiFi, couches, TV and a ping pong table (which my kids loved). There is also a playground and horseshoe pits (both are obviously older but in good shape). The bathrooms were great. They are not 5 Star, but clean, spacious and functional. The both have 3 sinks, 3 toilets and 3 showers. In the morning and evening when temps outside dropped off, the bathroom was comfortably warm and during the day it was cool. As we were tent camping, these bathrooms were wonderful. The tent sites are a little narrow and there is not much privacy, but they have beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the tree line does help limit some of the road noise. Our only issue was that our last full day, we were the only people in the tent area and they didn't take the locks off the water spigots, but we were able to use one at an open trailer site nearby. The best though is it is wonderfully situated halfway between Salida/Poncha Springs and Monarch Mountain. Numerous hiking trails are within a couple miles in each direction. All in all we would definitely stay here again.

We routinely stay at RV parks during the winter to ski local mountains and not have to board our…read moredogs. We've made April trips to ski Monarch for over a decade- in fact I have stayed at this park several previous times. Because we are skiing, I asked the manager about a late checkout AND OFFERED TO PAY for such. He declined payment, agreed, and asked that we pack up the site fully before we left to ski that day. I explained that our dogs would be staying in the camper that day, so we couldn't fully break things down, and to the best of my knowledge, had an agreement. That morning before we left, we packed up the campsite, leaving outside 3 dog ties (needed to secure the dogs when we got them out of the camper!) A door mat, and a spare tire for the camper that rides in the door and is the last thing in or out. Also left on the picnic table was dog leavings in a sealed plastic bag. We returned from skiing at 3PM (agreed upon time), and Chuck the manager immediately drove up and blocked us in, instantly SCREAMING that we had violated our agreement because the camper wasn't fully broken down, and telling us he wouldn't let us leave until I paid him for an additional night- which was paid. Reminding him that we had discussed and gotten agreement over both late checkout and that we could not fully pack up didn't change the level of screaming, which quickly shifted to profanity over dog poop, both the stuff in the sealed bag on the table and others around the campsite. Cleaning up leavings is literally the last thing we do before leaving a site to make sure we get it all, and he gave us zero opportunity to clean the site before screaming at us. He screamed at us both for the dog poop bag and accused us of having no intention of cleaning up, which seems mutually exclusive. During our stay, I also heard this manager berate a person who called to ask about rates and amenities. He teased my wife because when we got there late Friday night (also arranged) we couldn't find the codes to the bathroom- and nature called. I notice that the secretary of state shows the owner of the campground is not Chuck, and the owners mailing address was the campground until last year. It looks like this place is "under new management," and not in the good sort of way. When I mentioned I would be writing a review, Chuck laughed, and also laughed because he feels he runs the only RV park in the area and people would be compelled to stay with him regardless. Well, here is my review Chuck, and let me strongly recommend the 4 Seasons RV Resort, riverside on the Arkansas in Salida. We have also stayed there several times in winter, It is beautiful and has some of the nicest management we have run into- management that has always let us check out late.

Finally we got our order. My burger was raw and my bf's onion rings were burned. Unfortunately there's no where else to eat anywhere near here. The manager seemed concerned when we left, offered to 'make it right' but we were already in the car, leaving, and so hungry. What bothered us most was the lack of concern while we were waiting and waiting and waiting. It wasn't even busy.

Via e-mail, we were asked for info about our rig, and sent a link to complete a waiver. The e-mail stated a noon check-in time and had no further info about the check-in process. We provided the rig info and signed the waiver. The day before arriving in August, we were sent numerous text messages about a form, and the need to provide info about our rig. The text messages had check-in as Noon in one sentence, and check-in as 3:30 in another sentence. We called, got a nice person who spoke limited English. We were able to determine that they had received the form, but that they needed our rig information. Provided that again. She told us our site #'s, and said we would get a text with codes and check-in information. On the day of arrival, we got a text with the WIFI password and no further information. When we arrived, we could not find an office or staff. They Info on yelp states that there is a gift shop and boutique on site. That must have been when it was still owned by "Pamela". We finally saw a small sign with the instructions to just go to our site. About 1/2 hour after we arrived, a pleasant person stopped by with her infant to let us know she was the on-site manager, and to give us the code for the dumpster. She provided no further information or assistance. Sites 1-6 are COMPLETELY different than the website photos and the reviews, which were written a few years back when someone named Pamela owned and ran the property. These sites are VERY narrow. It took our friend multiple manipulations to pull in with his 5th wheel. These sites have no room for chairs or tables to sit outside. There was an old picnic table perched on the slope between sites 4 and 5. Significant literal trash at sites 1-4. A dead bird, dead vegetation, sewage pipes without caps, intense sewage smell. Very low water pressure. Unkempt weeds and sticker burr plants at our site, those next to us, and most of the places to walk the dogs. Buildings and grounds were trashy, run-down, dirty. We were traveling through for one night. We would strongly discourage others from staying here.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating of our need to extend our checkout until later in the day so we could finish out the work day. The park grounds are well kept; the on site Wi-Fi worked well when we used it (we had Internet in our RV via AT&T and Verizon) and we're able to work from the RV during the week with no problems; the little laundry facility was clean and even had a nice table to fold on and a rolling basket to move loads with. Most of the washer and dryer units were working and did a fine job at cleaning our clothes. I was also pleased at the $1.25 a load for washing and $0.25 per 15 minutes for drying. We didn't use the bath house so unfortunately I can't opine on that. The only con is that you parked awfully close to your neighbors and I felt bad because our sewer hose ran next to our neighbors eating area/pic-nick table. Also, because of the closeness of RVs/Trailers, it was a little more of a challenge than usual to park our RV. To be fair, it is an almost 38' long Class A Motorhome (so a bit like driving a bus). That said, most of the folks camping in the park were older, clean and quiet which we really appreciated. There was an occasional barking dog but everyone seemed really good at taking care of their pets and not letting them bark endlessly for long periods of time. Similarly, you are close to the road, and do get a little bit of traffic noise but it didn't bother us at all during the day and there isn't much traffic at night. We would definitely stay here again.

We have no problem with the other site that they put it now just be aware ! The owners are sooo kind. I had a work package mailed there by mistake and they didn't mind and held it for me! Yes, they do have a lot of signs about where your pet can and cannot go, I would say if you plan on having your dog run around this is not the place for you. But they have plenty of spots to go potty, and they're conveniently located across the street from a beautiful trail! Your dog will love walking on that, instead!!

Not Exactly "Paradise" We've been on the road for 6 weeks…read moreand were looking forward to a relaxing stay near Crested Butte - a town known for being dog-friendly. Unfortunately, this RV park didn't match the vibe at all. For a place labeled as a resort, it's located in an industrial park and bombarded with "NO" signs - no this, no that - which set a very negative tone from the start. Surprisingly, the owner also runs a dog grooming business, but the park itself didn't feel welcoming to dog owners. That was a real letdown. The positives: the views are great, and each site has water and electric hookups. However, there's no on-site sewer -- you'll need to go into town to dump. There's just one bathroom and shower per gender, though they were clean and well-kept. Overall, it's adequate if you're just looking for a place to park in a beautiful area. But for dog owners or anyone looking for a truly friendly, "resort-like" experience - you might want to keep looking.
