Cons
Site 215 fifth wheel trailer:
could not use 2 bunk beds as closets smelled like cat urine (which was extenuated when heat/ac was turned on
((Told front office ladies about the snell & they did nothing about it, which was really disappointing as we paid over $100 a night for trailer & kids were very disappointed they could not sleep in by beds bc smell was so nauseating ))
A daughter also disappointed she could not use these cabinets/closet to hang her clothes up in as they stunk
I notified front desk Bout this problem, thinking they would come ck it out to remedy it, and they did nothing about it.
The blinds obviously have not been cleaned/wiped off in over a year (if ever) which presents a huge sanitary issue surrounding corona virus issue.
Can not burn wood on site, so must rent a fire pit grill with propane for $10 per night to have fire/roast marshmallows
Bathroom floor is staples down to wall
The vent closures in roof are all cracked
There is absolutely NO cellular service here At all. They advertise WiFi & even give you password-but in 3 days there is NO option for WiFi use. ((Which is fine, except false advertising )
DVD payer does not work ((which kids were disappointed again as they rented. Movie at redbox & turned out they couldn't watch it.
Ck our at 11. There's a 9 am river raft trip which ends at 11.
12-1230 Ck out would be ideal, to be able to get in on this trip
****Blue Mesa ranch campground 2 min drive east toward reservoir has much bigger cabins, horse back riding/stables on site from $25 per hour & miniature golf****
Def drive into canyon, to hike along river, down by where the canyon boat usually leaves from. ((Pass dam & boat marina road on left, next right turn off, brings you down a dirt road, to parking lot at bottom. Hike down many steps, into gorge hike)
Marina rents out boats a year in advance. So don't plan on renting a boat there, unless you reserve way in advance .
