We have stayed at Big Meadows Campground twice and both times we really had beautiful private sites. Very nice place for taking evening walks and enjoying nature. We travel with children and this is one of their favorite spots. We will definitely go again in the future. there is a lake for fishing. We didn't catch any fish, but the kids enjoyed it anyway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved this place! We camped here three nights. There are no hookups, but the water faucets near the pit toitets can have hoses screwed onto them. This allows you to fill your water tanks before parking. The sites are heavily wooded and the camp elevation is over 9,000 feet. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring. Aspen firewood can be purchaesed from the camp manager. The sites are adjacent to Shaw Lake. It is pretty and stocked with rainbow trout. There are hiking/horse trails on both sides of the lake. We were only 3 miles from the highway and 7 miles from Southfork for shopping, restaurants and showers. Lots of wildlife. Fishing was great and we had a 10-point buck deer visit our site. This was boondocking at it's best! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

spectacular setting, very spacious, great hosts some sites are are nearer the lake (#1-8)...the rating takes into consideration that it is a U.S. Forest Service campground (dry camping), beautiful drive from South Fork (12 miles SW), right along the Rio Grande...setting includes waterfalls, lakes, tons of trees open from May 15-Sep 15 We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fun Valley has been my families annual summer vacation spot for over 20 years. I am grown now and the next generation is taking over the tradition. As a child, Fun Valley became my second home. I look forward to visiting every summer. My heart felt at home there. The people there are wonderful. I have never been to another place that is as warm and hospitable as the people at Fun Valley. There is a ton of stuff to do; horseback riding, putt putt golf, paddle boats, fishing ponds, innertube the Rio Grande, dance, play at the arcade, ride the train, or hike. I am sure that I am forgetting lots of other things. My grandparents used to square dance there with a live band. Oh, and they have a great place to watch live bands. I am looking forward to sharing this place with my daughter now. I am returning for the first time since she was born. She is now eight years old and even though I have told her about this place and shown her pictures she has no idea what she is in for. I can only hope that she feels the same way that I did about this place. I am sure she will. There is no place on earth that I would rather be. Anyone with a family should visit this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The name says it all. Fun Valley is truly a fun place for young & old. Trout fishing, trolley rides, horseback riding, bike rental, paddle boat rental. Hiking, tubing, mini golf, shuttle to regular golf, live music & entertainment. They also have a well stocked store, gift shop, gas station, snack bar, restaurant, game and activity buildings & much more. The food is very good and reasonably priced. WI-FI is available only near the office. The location is very scenic and is on the south fork of the Rio Grande River. There are also 18 well stocked trout ponds on the property. We came planning to stay 3 days and ended up staying 12 days. The nightly rate listed reflects a discount on stays of 5 days or more. The many older work campers were the friendliest & most helpful we have encountered anywhere. There are a few negatives, some electric sites are only 20 amp. & many of the sites get very muddy after rain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fun Valley is a wonderful family campground. First the positives: They have many many activities, several fish ponds on site that are well stocked with Rainbow Trout, a miniature golf course, horseback rides, a cafeteria that serves 3 good meals a day every day, a snack shack that makes hamburgers and ice cream, a small convenience store that sells grocery's, fishing tackle, RV supplies, ice and fuel, an arcade for the kids and beautiful landscaping with a stream right in front of the main building and many tall shade trees. The negatives: If you want to park close to the activities the sites are very close together, the electricity gets weaker the farther you are away from the buildings, and there is no Wi-Fi. It is also quite crowded mid summer but the crowds thin out after August 15th. All in all it is an excellent destination where you can spend weeks if you want and enjoy Colorado. It is in a beautiful beautiful location. I highly recommend Fun Valley. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is used by the older generation that come back each year. There are people that have been coming here for many many years. Wi-Fi is only available near office but is free. Not much for kids or younger generation to do. Great ATV/Jeep trails in the area. Management is nice and willing to help. DON'T get the site next to the "sewer pump", No. 9 I believe, it will smell, you will NOT be happy there. Saw the cabins, great here although we didn't stay in one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice location along the South Fork of the Rio Grande. You can’t see the river from a number of the sites but it is an easy walk. Sites are close to level. Small grass areas by most sites and fairly exposed location without much shade. Wi-Fi is a secured type. The office staff very friendly. It is close to the highway but it is quiet at night. The sites are closer together than I prefer, but we would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is located right on the Rio Grande River. Excellent evening activities and very friendly folks. Some of the sites are very close together and reservations need to be made several months in advance. Clean and very well maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here under Passport to save some money - not worth it. Although the people are very friendly, there is no atmosphere and the place is totally overgrown with weeds. This park needs some serious upkeep. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is located about 3 miles east of town and is off the highway and down a slight hill so there was little road noise. About half the sites are in the trees or along the river and there are about 15 nice pull-through sights in the middle of the park that are in the open so you can use your satellite. The Wi-Fi worked good and the staff was very friendly. The laundry room was newly refurbished. The sell propane and firewood. This is a nice, quiet campground to spend a few days or all summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is older and appears to need some refreshing. Even the entrance sign needs to be replaced. Many sites are too close together even on the river. The river sites are the nicest sites but are basically dirt sites with some gravel and hookups. The campground personnel were friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was fine. The laundry room was spotless with new machines and open 24 hours. There was a problem with loose dogs roaming the campground from the house trailers adjacent to the campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped one night and were lucky enough to get a riverfront site. It is very pretty to view outside your rear window. The park is a little old and tired but has shade trees. The people managing the place were nice and showed us to our place. It has washers and dryers. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
