We stayed here when it was a KOA a few years ago and the amenities have definitely improved since then. The office has an espresso bar, laundry room, recreation room with a large TV and a full sized pool table as well as an outdoor dog wash station (free!) and a large propane fire pit with a seating area. The main bathrooms attached to the office are newly renovated and kept clean. Our pull thru site was spacious (front to back) and included a picnic table, fire pit and full hook ups. Some of the smaller RV sites were set against a scenic hill of boulders although these were water/electric only. The staff were friendly, attentive, and unobtrusive. Setting was quiet and scenic, near US 24 but not near enough for traffic noise. This is the nicest RV park in the Buena Vista area. We camped at BV Overlook in a Travel Trailer.

We were mostly looking for a place to sleep and not have it be too expensive and this was perfect. They also have RV hook ups, tent sites, tiny homes, cabins and yurts available. The area was very beautiful. The restrooms have a code on them but there is also showers available, a rec room, hiking trail. We didn't really get a lot of time to explore as we were only there for an evening but we enjoyed our time there and i will be back in teh future.

Anthony totally took care of us, making sure we were comfortable at our site which was right by the river. We locked ourselves out of the trailer late on Saturday night. We called the after hours number and the host, Megan, called Anthony. IAnthony offered to take us to a hotel and call a locksmith in the morning. Our keys, purses, chargers, etc. were locked in the trailer. To make a long story short, he helped us break into the trailer. The next morning he came back and repaired the lock that we broke to get in. When he was done, it looked like new. Anthony refused any money, he did all this on his own time. The restrooms were amazing!! The whole camp was very clean and accommodating. Everyone was very nice and shared positive vibes. This is now our favorite place to stay when we are in the Salida, Buena Vista area. They have a fun gift shop and they help you with rafting trips, hot spring excursions, etc. The town of Salida is nearby and has cute stores, restaurants, and river access. I HIGHLY recommend Chalk Creek Campground. What could have been a terrible weekend that first time out, turned out to be a wonderful weekend thanks to Anthony and to Megan's hospitality. Anthony restored my faith that there are some truly nice people in this world. .

My two best friends and I have been staying at this campsite at least a quarter of the year for the…read morelast 3 years so this review has been long overdue. We are Messianic/1st century Christians that celebrate the Hebrew Festivals so finding places we can trust with the "set apart" vibes is super important to us. First off, I love that this campsite is still owned by a family VS a corporation! The owner Megan is so sweet and really does her best to manage the grounds and create a great experience for her customers. Her staff Ron, Jan, Jason, Jeremy, Michael, Luke, Joyce, and Anthony (everyone I can think at the moment) really makes this place feel like a home away from home. Great location: We personally like camping in tents down at the lower level. Yes, there is a road that can be heard because it's directly behind the site but who cares?! I think it's in a really convenient place in between Salida (20 minutes away) and Buena Vista (7 minutes away). The beautiful river that runs through is really pretty sounding most of the time! I go straight to sleep hearing the babbling brooks and occasional fish plopping out of the waters Facilities and convenience: The wifi is great! I believe they use starlink now! I like to park ny truck at the upper level to finish any work emails/calls or watch movies The showers do require quarters but I won't complain because they get really hot, really fast. I've never had any issues with having hot water here. Also, the bathrooms stay really clean and the laundry room next door is super convenient. We like to shop in the front store for stuff when we run out of basics. Saves time and money not having to go to the grocery store! Dog friendly: We have a small dog (terrier and Chihuahua mix) that gets pretty yappy when she sees other dogs but what dogs don't freak out when they see other dogs? The poop stop for her at the upper level is great to let her do her business when other dogs aren't around. We dont have any kids with us but we see families come with kids all of the time and they seem really happy playing lots of outdoor games in the fields! The campsite also hosts bingo on weekends and kids have lots of fun playing. God bless this place!

The bathrooms are impeccably clean. Seriously the nicest and cleanest bathrooms we've ever seen at a campground. The staff is kind and very helpful. We had a problem with the electricity in our camper when we arrived and one of their employees came immediately to help us. Very kind. The campground is 5 minutes north of Buena Vista- a cute small town. Be sure to visit the newly-constructed "new downtown" that looks right out of a magazine--charming. Excellent whitewater rafting in the area. About half an hour south of Leadville. This area doesn't have your stereotypical mountain scenery but it is nestled in a wide valley between mountains. Morning and evenings are especially nice. I recommend staying here.

But it seems to be true for ALL RV parks in the area, so blame Chaffee County government not them. It's fine, just bring a propane grill and firebowl - Quiet hours. Yep, this is a quieter campground and they don't want you being noisy after 10pm. Want to party and be loud? Go somewhere else. Their vibe is nice and I don't mind the rule at all - Dogs. Their policy is a bit unusual and they only allow one dog per camper. They also require you to walk them in an area specifically to pee and poop there. I get why, but they are a bit too tight on that one IMO (that's where I would suggest they relax a bit or maybe charge per pet, whatever) I would recommend staying just be aware of their policies

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.
