Something I didn't know about this park is that it is also an RV park and campground.

This was a lifesaver on a hot day. Keep walking, and you'll get to a larger area where there's a zip line and larger playground for bigger kids to play. I wish we had discovered this playground first, as we spent more than half of our time on the small playground.

At the back of the park is an irrigation channel with a nice walking path along it. Good for taking the dogs out. There is a large hill behind the park, so it's pretty quiet. Just across the street, about a mile or so up the road (towards Loveland) is Devil's Backbone. It's has a nice parking area with a lot of great walking/biking/equestrian trials.

It was WAY overpriced for what it was. But, it likely was the last space in the entire state, so I didn't complain. 2) the smell of sewage mentioned in reviews may be the smell of the river. If it's low it smells. However, while the river smell was mostly prominent at dusk, and didn't bother me at all, on our last night there was a sewer stink that was awful. Frankly, this wasn't an issue with the park, but the owners of the campers that probably didn't hook up correctly. 3) we had a "river view" space. We did back up to the river. We could hear it. And it was lovely. But the weeds were so high we couldn't see it. Not awesome. 4) the photos on line make this place appear as though there is a lot of grass. There is NO grass. Anywhere. There are weeds and dirt. The majority of the people here appear to be permanent or semi-permanent. And their spots, depending on the person, look well kept. The rest of the place is dirt and weeds 5) we met friendly people, did not have issue with management not being attentive, and we had fun.

Such a disappointment, we booked within a week of our stay and unfortunately could not stay, we literally drove the day before our reservation to let the office know of our situation. We spoke to someone working there who assured us there should be no problem with reimbursement and also said he would notify the manager, Kelsey. We called the next day to make sure she got the message and asked Kelsey if she would please reimburse us since we just made the reservation and there was no way to give 7 day notice, she was so smug on the phone and delighted in not helping with our situation. There was an abundance of empty sites and definitely no wait list. She did offer to have us come another time but we live 600 miles away and no plans to come back through this way. We asked for the owners to contact us and she refused to assist in any way. She eventually hung up on us - I would not recommend this place based on her customer service skills. Even an offer to talk to the owners about a partial reimbursement would have been appreciated as a consideration. Richard S.

**1 Star -- Site #98 is NOT Safe for Large RVs**…read more We stayed at Jellystone Park Estes Park for three nights in site #98 with our 36-foot fifth wheel. We paid $325.50 for our stay and left with expensive damage to our truck because, in my opinion, this site should never be assigned to an RV of this size. Site #98 is located on a hill and requires a very tight left turn from a one-way road, with a drop-off on one side and a large boulder retaining wall on the other. When an employee escorted us to the site, he immediately told us it was a difficult site for big fifth wheels and even said another camper had ripped off his fender trying to back into it. My husband is very experienced backing our fifth wheel, and after several attempts with direction from the campground employee, he was able to get us into the site. Unfortunately, getting OUT was even worse. When we left, my husband had to swing the truck as far to the right as possible to keep the fifth wheel tires from going off the drop-off on the left. At one point, half of our left-side tires were hanging off the edge. While I was outside watching the tires and trying to help navigate this extremely precarious situation, the truck caught one of the boulders from the retaining wall on the right, which became wedged underneath our running board. We then had to JACK UP OUR TRUCK--with our 36-foot fifth wheel still attached and sitting dangerously close to the edge of a hill--just to get the truck off the boulder. What makes this situation especially frustrating is what happened afterward. A very kind campground employee who came to help us expressed his own frustration that they continue putting large RVs in this site. He explained that after the cabins across the road were installed, along with the retaining wall, there was no longer enough room for big RVs to safely pull out of site #98. While I waited to speak with the manager, a THIRD employee also acknowledged to me that they have had issues with this site. Yet when the manager finally came to speak with us, she claimed she had NO knowledge of site #98 being a problem and told us they allow RVs up to 38 feet in it. When I told her they should not be putting RVs that large in this site, her response was, **"It's 2026 and they can't tell people what they can put in a site."** That response was unbelievable to me. A campground absolutely can--and should--determine what size RV can safely fit into and maneuver through a particular site. Three separate employees either warned us about this site or acknowledged problems with it, including one who specifically said there is no longer enough room for large RVs to pull out after the cabins and retaining wall were added. Yet management continues allowing RVs up to 38 feet in the site. We were offered no solution for the damage to our truck, and management took no accountability for continuing to place large RVs in a site their own employees acknowledge has had problems. We paid $325.50 for three nights and walked away with a damaged truck and an incredibly stressful--and potentially dangerous--experience. We will NEVER stay at this campground again. If you have a fifth wheel or RV over 30 feet, I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere and specifically avoiding **site #98**. Campgrounds have a responsibility to assign rigs to sites they can safely enter AND exit. Based on our experience, Jellystone Estes Park failed to do that.

Hey, we know there are limited such availabilities in parks like this, but if you can't book us FOR SURE, just tell us. We'll go somewhere else. Instead, my wife struggled up our cabin stairs for five days. The camp staff was polite and friendly but this was a really difficult situation.

Either fill up before you go or you can fill at the dump station a couple of miles away at the ranger station, where you get your pass. Interior roads are rough so go slow. Most sites are a bit unlevel, so bring your leveling blocks. The big draw is the lake! 3 miles long and 1 mile wide it's great for watersports.

Our campsite was level and spaced out enough so we weren't on top of one another. A few issues were that the pass machine at the southern entrance was out of order and all the signs in the campground said not to enter without a pass, under penalty of death. Well, we ignored that and set up, then grabbed our pass when we headed out of the north gate. Get your water before you go in. Also, not a lot (none?) trashcans in the campground area. Had to go to the central day use area to find a trash can. Would go again, but will have lower expectations next time.
