No Showers or Restrooms which they do tell you up front. This is mostly a Mobile Home and Monthly Campground with only 2 spaces available for overnighters, the one we got was in a beautiful shaded spot, the only pull-through is part of a driveway with no shade. The park is very well maintained and the owners very friendly and helpful. Very close to town for shopping etc. They do not have any discounts, we got good internet and 4 tv channels via antenna. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small park and not a lot of activities, but very nice and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We have stayed there a few times. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I experienced electrical problems, causing my surge gard to drop the connection. The RV next to me had the same problem. When I approached the owner he blamed my surge gard, insisting there was nothing wrong with his electricity. I will never stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Smaller KOA, the Kabin bathrooms were really nice. Had a pull-through, and had to move after 5 days, since a monthly user was coming back. They had me in another site very quickly, and the next site was even better. Some of the sites have a small brick patio, others have a nicer and larger one. We actually overstayed our reservation, and they found us a spot! We plan on using this KOA at least twice a year. It is a 6 miles out of town, and be aware that Verizion cellular doesn't work there. If you cycle, the Poudre Canyon Entrance is right outside the campsite. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was OK except we were charged for a pull thru and the space was too short. We had to unhook the car and re-park since there wasn't enough room. For one night this was not what we had wanted to do. Also the next morning the wind must have changed, and we were directly in the wind line of a local feed lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place was very disappointing. The KOA website depicts this as a very nice KOA; however, it was not. It appeared to be a work in progress with lots of construction waste lying in piles all over the cg. Entrance signage was almost non-existent with only 1 small non-lit sign on a post. Very unusual for a KOA. Roads were narrow and very dusty. This cg has a few very nice waterfront sites with shade, but these are booked far in advance. These are in stark contrast to the ho-hum regular sites that are very close together and have no shade at all. There were back-in sites around the perimeter of the cg, but these were occupied by long-term residents. On the plus side, the lake is very nice, and the mini-golf course is new and very neat. I would like to see this cg in a few years once the owners put more into it. Lots of potential, but there are better places out there, especially for the high cost of $42/night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Ft. Collings Lakeside is a very nice KOA. Spacious sites, and the most impressive part is how clean it is. It takes pride to maintain a RV park this way and pride is evident here. We found it a little difficult to find as it is not directly off of I-25. It is in an old industrial park of some sorts, but that setting provides for lots of space. The fitness trail is awesome with a very beautiful setting to run in. The showers were very clean. They made my boys wear helmets, which they provided, when they rented the 4-wheel bikes. The pool was clean and very nice. The staff was very friendly. The grass needs a little work, the trees are small and the interior roads need to be paved. That is why I'm giving an 8 out of 10. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice Park! Clean and nice. Has it's own Lake (Catch & Release) Facilities are top notch. In the country but a few minutes drive to Fort Collins. Wifi works great, cable very good channels. Nice Folks. New Tree's so not much shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New owners are doing a good job with this campground. It is a great park for children with a play area and outdoor pool. Nice lake to walk around, and fishing ponds for adults and children. No road noise since it is not near the highway. It has nice wide sites and some great views of the close in foothills. Downtown Fort Collins is not too far away, and there are many great restaurants available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park is absolutely top notch. It is set on a lake that is beautiful and the sites are pristine. The staff, which includes a number of KOA Work Kampers, is extremely helpful and very friendly. The owner even went out of his way and came to our site to help us connect to the Internet. We highly recommend it to anyone who is traveling in the Fort Collins, Colorado area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent park and very convenient for visiting Ft Collins. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The owner was on site and involved in helping guests. The sites have concrete pads and there is plenty of room between sites. Roads are gravel but well maintained. WiFi worked well at all times. we have stayed here in the past and have always enjoyed our stay. The grass areas need some TLC but I believe this is the result of prior management. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place to visit! We felt very safe and secure the whole time being there. Lots of hidden treasures within the area that can keep folks busy for long periods of time. Lack of roads being paved is our only complaint. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice and friendly park but charge too much for the space. No weekly discount offered. Wonderful laundry. Nice lake with trail. Under new management with KOA maybe the reason for the price increase. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park! Close to RMNP, water and great fishing. The lake on site is loads of fun for kids and adults with lots of bass and blue gils. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It is a nice Park with friendly staff. All interior roads are gravel making it a bit dusty. They could work on the entrance roads to make it a bit smoother and less dusty. All in all, it is a decent Park; we would return when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is in the process of becoming a KOA. Good points: Friendly, helpful personnel, long and level paved sites, great amenities such as a pool, lake, gym, etc., and probably the best free wi-fi we've ever enjoyed. Bad points: Although the entire park is 50-amp, they charge you the ridiculous sum of $4.00 per day if you require 50-amp service. While the sites are paved, the roads are all rock and gravel. The rock has worn down to where it is virtually useless and the dust is very annoying. Management says they plan to pave the roads in a couple of years but, if they don't do something about the poor rock base before, I would stay away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overall a nice park and we had no difficulty getting our big rig (42') in and out. Great wi-fi, lots of activities and close to downtown Ft Collins. If the streets were paved instead of gravel I would rate this park higher. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay if your wanting to visit Fort Collins. Probably only 10 minutes from downtown. A lot to do in the campgound. Currently being taken over by new owners that will make it a KOA. Looks like they are adding several camping cabins and other things. Planning on staying here again over labor day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has become a KOA park. Supposedily Big-Rig friendly, but the entrance/exit is JUST wide enough for a diesel pusher and there is no room on either side. And they charge $4.00 PER DAY for 50 amp power. Their WiFi was working even from the back row where we were. A lot of long term rentals and they don't know how to park their cars/trucks so that they are protruding into already narrow roads making getting in with toad still attached a real chore. Sites are narrow - the picnic table almost sites on top of the sewer hose from the next campsite. We camped here in a Motorhome.
WiFi not available at our site but we could access from the laundry room. In the process of converting to KOA when we stayed here. Very friendly staff. Nice walking path. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very recently became a KOA, so there are very small trees throughout. Lots of things for kids to do - VERY large playground, nice lake with paddle boats. Nice pads, BBQs in each spot. Don't count on the WiFi, yet. They said they are upgrading, but only a single bar when in a site. Very weak Verizon EVDO signal as well. Map on website could use a little assistance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second visit to Heron Lake RV Park, and it is a very quiet, peaceful and relaxing spot. There is a medium size lake on the property, and some fishing areas for adults and children. There is also a great play area for younger children. Nice shaded walking trail around the perimeter of the park. The new owners are very helpful, and we shall visit this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay for adults and children. Only 1/2 mile to the Poudre River Trail which is an off road walking, biking trail that takes you thru Fort Collins. The Park is also close to Lory State Park (10 minute drive). In addition, they have a great self serve ice cream sundae bar! Note, the entrance sign to the park is very small. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Concrete pads, grass in between, wide spacing, gravel roads, good library, cute lake, very clean. CATV. Beautiful park, quiet, 8 miles to Fort Collins. Good group facilities including covered group tables, large BBQs, baseball diamond, really nice children's playground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An excellent RV park. Wide streets, long, paved sites, great facilities. They do not have wi-fi, but do have reasonably priced telephone service at each site. This park was obviously designed by people who understand Rv'ers and camping. Outstanding park for an overnight or for a month. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Heron Lake has a good fitness room, library, volleyball court, Basketball court,
paddleboats pool and hot tubs. It is very clean and easy to get in and out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice, clean showers. Lovely setting, close to town, yet remote. When the trees grow it will be a nice park. They are a little overzealous with policing. That should wear off the longer they are open. We camped here in a camper.
