Elk lodge camping12/19/2023 Quiet time in the part is 10 pm but by quiet time they mean, put out your fire, stop talking, and go to bed. When asked for assistance from a staff member, me and my girlfriend were ignored 4 separate times before another concerned camper got their attention and brought them over. The staff who tent camp there violate camping boundaries, move items within the campground when you leave into town and completely violate privacy and respect of personal property. We were harassed by the staff the first night who seem to believed they owned the park and everyone should bow to their ever whim. We were asked to move our car 3 separate times before we could even get out and check in so that other people could park where we were parked to check-in. Others who had problems may have been a one time thing or perhaps people who expect to have everything their way and get cranky, but we found this to be a very good spot.įrom the moment we drove onto the property the problems started. We were told that recently the business phone system was taken off the internet system and this had increased band width and access, also that plans were in the works to expand the service before next year. It is pricey ($50+/night for our truck camper) but we had a nice spot, security patrolled frequently, and the clerk who checked us in even came by to ask if everything was all right. Everything was very clean and neat, they recycle, the prices in the little store were not outrageous, and the internet worked for us. Quiet time after 10 PM was really QUIET time-unlike at some other campgrounds where people staying up late bother others. The staff were friendly and more than helpful. We had read some of the other reviews and were a little worried but since this was the only place we could get a place to stay, we gave it a try. Overall, I won't say I wouldn't stay here again, but I'll certainly consider other options first. As a lover of wildlife, I'm not complaining about witnessing this, but if we'd had little ones, we might have found it a little gruesome. One morning as we were eating breakfast at the picnic table at our site, we got to witness the saga of life and death as a badger from the national park came under the fence and was chasing and killing gophers. Other problems were that one of the restroom/shower room doors didn't lock and both my wife and I had someone walk in on us whlie we were in there, and one of the stalls went a day and half without paper products being restocked during our visit. You're practically on top of the folks next to you! If the place had been busier while we were there or if it hadn't rained three of the four nights we were there, this would have been worse than it was. My biggest complaint was that the tent sites are way too close together. So the location was good and the scenery was nice. We spent four nights in this campground and it adequately provided a quiet place to sleep while we spent our days in the national park, which is just over the fence from the campground. Estes Park in July presents a choice between a lousy hotel room for $120 and up or a campsite for about $30. We occassionally tent camp during vacations when we can't find other lodging at a reasonable price. As a lover of wildlife, I'm not complaining about witnessing this, but if we'd had little.
