Had some friends put together a group trip, they were tent camping we were trailer camping. I have stayed in Buena Vista before and were unhappy with our stay here. The public bathrooms and showers were awful, not cleaned in the two nights three days we were there. They had area rugs hanging over the shower stalls that you had to put down and pick up each time, they were never cleaned either. The RV sites were very tight and somewhat close to the highway. The tent site was great and only a few minutes to the river. If you are tent camping, this is a great place but I would not recommend it if you plan on using the public restrooms during your stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are staying here monthly until we can buy a house in the area. Been here 2 weeks and the owners and very friendly and helpful. Cellphone does not work very well but it could be my phone. TV channels do not come in clear and sometimes lots of static. We rent a lot of movies. Well kept park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wide open lot adjacent to Rte 24, but fairly quiet at night. Snug sites. Only one washer & dryer, and bathrooms need a little TLC. Buena Vista is a lovely town with friendly folks. The route here takes you through the San Isabel National Forest - breathtaking views. Good area for gold panning, whitewater rafting, hot springs, jeep tours. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a difference from other RV parks. The hookups are nice. The showers are excellent and I mean CLEAN! I took a shower in a private room with a VERY POWERFUL exhaust fan that actually worked right! I have a problem with exhaust fans in some of these RV parks in their showers! It was so clean, including the toilets and sink and mirror. It's so nice to take a shower and be just like home. I love this campground and the showers here deserve a 20+. We only stayed one night but would have stayed more. The whole place was clean and neat and the staff is very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are 3 individual restrooms with showers that are extremely clean. The WiFi was weak, but the owners were most helpful. The sites were all large and kept clean. My only problem with this RV park was the total lack of any trees, so we didn't have any shade. We also paid $258 + tax for a week, which I thought was a little steep. Because of that, next time I will probably try to stay at one of the parks closer to town that have trees (and are cheaper). We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed only one night in the park but would have stayed much longer. Tons of sites to fit whatever your camping needs. Small yurts and cabins for rent. We stayed in a 16' Vintage Airstream camper and used the park bathrooms/showers. They were very clean and the owners very very nice. Great to have a small store on location with group events in the evening. I would highly recommend this campground and will hopefully stay again in the future! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park with spacious sites. Previous reviews mentioned cable TV, but that is only available in the office. View of the mountains was better than any TV station. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was great, lots of activities, beautiful area, friendly staff, good food. The only problem we had was with the ownership. The female co-owner was very rude to customers, condescending to staff (no wonder they've had a high staff turnover), and very inflexible and not customer-service oriented. Where she could have been accommodating and friendly, she chose to be rude and haughty with customers. Many campers were talking about it. She even got to the point of yelling at customers in the office. We were embarrassed for her staff. We had hoped to stay longer but decided to check out early the next morning. It was a shame because we loved everything else about the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second visit here - were here a year ago for a couple nights and six nights this time. Probably the best KOA we have stayed at - great view out our back window (but we knew what spot to reserve based on last year!). And one of the best RV parks we have stayed at, bar none (have been to about 150, give or take a handful). Place is very clean. Staff is outstanding and always spotless in their yellow shirts and all. One little touch that really impressed us. Our site was not only spotless to pull in to but they rake it from front to back which gives you the impression they really care, and that they were there to take care of it. We plan to go back and highly recommend it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campsite has the most beautiful scenery I have seen. Don't confuse this NFS campground with one of the same name on Grand Mesa. There is no comparison. I loved this place. However, it is a forest service site. There is no dump, hook ups or reservations. It is first come first served. It can fill on weekends so get there before noon on Friday. The campground is in San Isabel NF 11 miles SW of Buena Vista. Take County Rd 306 west about 7 miles to Forest Rd 344. The FR is dirt and rough but it is worth the ride. There are 3 very nice pull thrus and several other long back ends. The hosts are nice and rules are enforced concerning ATVs, quiet hours and dogs. Cottonwood Lake is beautiful and nearby however, you can't see it very well from the campground. Fishing is king here but there is hiking in the area. Sitting and staring at the views works as well It is 9600 feet so plan for cool temps at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed here monthly until we can purchase a home in Buena Vista, CO. A few minor instances happened while our stay, then we were going to move to a different and better site in the same RV Park in June 2010. Before we moved, the owners said we broke the ceramic around the water and we need to pay them $200. It was broken when we set up the RV, so we did not break it. Several other sites had missing or broken ones also. Owner said we had to pay or get out! We moved to another RV Park June 30th. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have camped here in September for the last 5 years and it was our favorite RV park. 2 years ago new owners took over and it appears to be deteriorating. They advertise Wi-Fi but said it didn't work most of the time. It never worked the 10 days we were here. The owner said it would probably be better Wi-Fi access next year. On 3 or 4 occasions there was either no paper towels and/or no toilet paper in the restroom. They have also discontinued some things such as the Saturday morning coffee get together and the Saturday night bonfire. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This will sound like I have an axe to grind, and I do. I will say that the restrooms and showers were clean and that the price was reasonable for the area. The slot provided was very tight, so tight that you cannot walk between the two units when the slides are out. You share your patch of grass (about 4' wide and the length of the pull-in) with your neighbor on the other side. Upon arrival, we found a dead (and stinky) rat in the common area grass next to our slot. We asked to move, but were told "that's all we have." Like many, we took our dogs with us on vacation here. From looking around the campground, there appeared to be many, many dogs who were vacationing with their owners. While sightseeing, etc. during the day, we leave the dogs in the rig. A "neighbor" two slots over complained to management of our dogs barking during the day (which they are apt to do when they think someone is outside near the trailer). Management's "option" was to kennel them ("dog-sit") with their daughter for $32/day. When I declined, I was forced to leave. The "complaining neighbor" appeared to be a long-term resident. Money talks, so I had to walk. To management's benefit, they did refund the remaining two nights we had pre-paid. We moved to another park in Leadville, CO which turned out to be terrific, more space, friendly staff (and neighbors), and better views from our campsite (much better than the run-down house which dominated our view at Snowy Peaks). There are better options in the area--especially if you have dogs which may bark and "offend" other campers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park in a beautiful part of Colorado. Staff was as nice as any I have ever encountered. We were surprised with the amount of trees in the campground as well as the patch of grass in front of every site. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second time staying here at Snowy Peaks. The folks here go out of their way to help you in any way. We were late in making our reservation and got a water and electric site only as that was all that was left. It was 30 amp power, but seemed adequate, as it powered all of our coach with the exception of the second air conditioner. It was not hot during our stay so that wasn't much of an issue. Our site was in a back corner, and much harder to back into, but the owner stayed right with me until we were comfortably parked. The roads are gravel, but were leveled with a tractor. We used the laundry which worked fine. We need to call ahead next time to get a sewer site, so we could stay longer. This park is centrally located to many area attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was really impressed with the size of the sites and the cleanliness of the place though the last place we were for two months the sites were rather close but it is a nice campground. The owners are really nice and I was helped getting into the site. We had spent a summer in Buena Vista a couple of years ago and really enjoy the area. The AT&T cell service has improved considerably in the last two years and the Wi-Fi here is tolerable ( Tengo Internet ). The neighbors are very friendly and welcoming. This is on our list of places we would spend the summer in. Obviously we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed a nice site in the rear of campground overlooking the Arkansas River Valley. The sites are long and well spaced with good power and water pressure. We found the owners, Sandra and Don to be very friendly and helpful as well as the rest of the staff. Good walking trails back toward the river. Good fishing along the river and many other activities. It is an older crowd as commented by others. We like the idea of no fire pits, for us, seems like the smoke follows me around and I’m allergy to it. Quincy’s is a good place to eat in town…they only have one choice for dinner… steak then on Friday and Saturday evenings prime rib, salad, and potato starting at $10. Would like to return for a longer stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Most of the sites are long term seasonal tenants. The sites in back would be OK (they're plenty large), but be warned that transient sites are nearest (as little as 75 feet) to the highway which is extremely noisy. We were on the highway and thought it was awful. The restrooms were clean but so compactly arranged that one can rest ones elbows on the sink while seated. Clean laundry open all hours. Nice landscaping. Rec hall is a mobile home crowded with sofas, TV, pool table etc - looks well used. Lots of little notices all around to do this and not do that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
