For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: I had a similar experience with the owner as MountainsofBeauty. IF YOU STAY keep your distance from the owner. A most disagreeable person. Also your dogs will get giardia. It is very dusty. It is expensive.

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: We had full hook-up and there weren’t many other campers due to the season. This place is really expensive but apparently they get takers at that price. We didn’t have dust but we did have snow. The dog run is great. Didn’t even look at the bathrooms so nothing there. Playground looked good. No complaints. We would stay there again. Cellular service was ok. Our dealings with staff were good. You are in the middle of a prairie dog town! Holes everywhere!

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: We will NEVER visit this campground (and the others this person owns - Spruce Lake RV Resort also in Estes Park and Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden, CO) ever again and recommend to friends and others to avoid them as well. Yes, campground is a dust bowl - horrible. The real issue is the greed of the owner and certain employees are really rude. First - the rudeness. We came in at night, thankfully. We found our way to our campsite "un-aided", which was a godsend. They have an employee who drives a golf cart (much faster than stated campground speed limits) and YELLS at people b/c they aren't going fast enough and yells insults if he feels they are not backing into their RV space fast enough or "properly" enough. We saw this behavior every day we were there (and many folks came and went from this campground b/c it’s so close to RMNP). We also dealt with rudeness in the office. No need for that. Next if you have a repair necessary to your RV, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. We called Good Sam (b/c we have the extended service plan). They dispatched several people before one could actually come (after the office closed thankfully). The 1st guy dispatched told us the owner approached him with a loaded gun and chased him off. The 2nd guy said the owner wanted the techs to pay him money whenever a repair was performed on site. He refused and was banned from the site. The campground people said "you wouldn't want these people to work on your RV EVER." That's slander. And funny...Good Sam recommended them. Another campground we used earlier in the month handed out both their cards and praised them both. And speaking with them - BOTH tried to help us over the phone. Each were good guys. Then, the office people said it was b/c of insurance. Gee, that's funny. Good Sam pays more in insurance in 1 day than these people do all year, and the owner (and his employees) wants to claim their standards are higher than Good Sam's? GS requires all their techs to carry a high level of insurance and make them prove it. We didn't buy that insurance excuse story. Then, the campground people pushed 2 other repair guys. One stated point blank he only worked on AC and fridges, not our issue at all. Other guy never answered the phone or returned our calls. (We left VM’s.) Not surprised based on feedback we were getting elsewhere. It took the 4th person Good Sam dispatched to be able to come out. He did - after office hours. When the office found out, they tried to get his info. We didn't share and told them to talk to Good Sam. At that point, they backed off...especially since they are a Good Sam "recommended" campground. We did finally get the repairs done...but thanks to this campground and its owner, it cost us extra time and extra money. After talking to other RV owners in the area, we learned our situation was not an unusual one. Again, we will never EVER use this campground or the others owned by this person EVER again. Worst experience of our long trip out west.

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: Although we did not use the facilities, my wife looked at them and the bathroom was very nice very clean and well-kept. Wonderful playground for kids and there were numerous elk viewings at various places in the park. We have a 45 foot diesel pusher with 23 foot trailer for a toad and our space had plenty of room and was very flat. We were in the C7. The scenery was nothing less than outstanding. It was also very convenient to the beaver meadows entrance to the national park about 2 miles. The park was a bit dusty but it seemed about normal to me and I would not downgrade the rating for that. The staff was super courteous and helpful with everything we ask about. Would definitely return if back in the area.

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: Gorgeous location w great views just outside RMNP. The A row was very nice, level and medium sized (middle rows are much more crowded). Bathrooms were clean and nice. Staff pretty good. We didn’t have issues w the dust, but do know there is no gravel anywhere - just dirt. Will most definitely come back.

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: Kinda a dust bowl. We stayed in the A row and the sites were mostly level and all the hookups worked. Our row backs up to road to national park. Staff was nice but little misinformed. I was charged $79 a night and then $27 for late check out. Dont ask for refund - they won’t give it for any reason. Only tent sites have fire pits. Easy to get trailer in the site. Great location to Estes and other places.

For Elk Meadow Lodge And RV Resort: As other reviewers have said, most things are really good, EXCEPT: It’s a dust bowl! Huge wind gusts down the canyon cause such a dust problem that this place is off the list for us. Actual gravel on the roads and sites would help (or, at these rates, pave the roads!)
