We booked campsite 18 for this past weekend and couldn’t have been happier with the site and location and amenities as tent guests. Would 100% recommend for a semi private experience. From what I saw each site had a fire ring and picnic table. Each site has slightly different views but all are relatively beautiful. The outhouse was actually not terrible. The owner mike opened the little bar on our last night and we got to enjoy the lodge and play a few games of pool while enjoying simple drinks. We also hiked to strawberry lake and it was a really pretty hike only 5 minute drive from the site. Would definitely return!
Getting all the magic of the outdoors while getting a good night’s rest, plenty of entertainment options, and lots of space makes AVR perfect for our family of 6. Every time we leave AVR we are thinking about when and with who we can go back. It’s a little bit of magic tucked away in a convenient location. There are gorgeous hikes perfect for novice little feet to experienced hikers. There are canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and so many good skipping rocks for endless water play. The cabins are cute and comfortable. We can’t wait to go back to experience more!
My family and I had an amazing experience here. The location is incredible as it is surrounded by National Forest and two large lakes perfect for hiking, fishing, and swimming. There were tons of activities to keep me and my kids busy with hiking, biking, canoeing and more fishing right on the property’s pond. Our last morning we had pancakes cooked fresh for us at the lodge! This is definitely a place we will visit again soon.
AVR was outstanding! We went with a large group and stayed in the main cabin. It was so beautiful and clean. We had an amazing view of the lake and a Mother and Baby moose came to the lake every day. Our kids fished all morning and evening.
Some of our friends stayed in the smaller cabins and glamping tents, all were amazing and clean.
Beautiful hikes and lakes all in walking distance.
Highly recommend, it’s very family friendly or just a fun adult getaway!
AVR is an absolutely beautiful property with a variety of ways to stay and lots of things to do. We visited on the tail end of what I assume is their busy season so it was fairly quiet and very peaceful. It is a bit on the high end cost wise & while we were there the store and saloon were closed every time we attempted going but overall we’d recommend it and plan to visit again in the future. Note: There are definitely spots that would be better for travel trailer campers (as far as ease of backing in) than the one we had, so I’d recommend speaking to someone re: which are which if booking a site for a camper. Site 27 is much closer to neighboring site 21 than we guessed from the map.
Please avoid if possible.
Honestly, if I paid the normal camping price or even a little higher, I would have rated this 4/5 or so. BUT, I paid a whopping amount of total $320 for a night at clamping tent and I felt like I was looted.
The facility is on a very scenic and remote location which make it unique in a way, but, right in front of it there is gov campsite which give you same location benefits.
Also, this one is not on the actual lake, but on a little pond nearby.
Coming to property overall, it is not maintained. They took $50 cleaning fee with the reservation and don't think anything was at all.
--> Bedding provided had holes on the blankets, tent zip was broken, no heater available.
--> When asked for the heater for like 4 times, they kept the heater outside at the time of their counter closing time ( 7 pm ), and it was kept without gas. We couldn't use it.
--> Washroom had hot water in the sink but not in the shower. There was no maintenance for 20 so hours we were there.
--> No food available in the premise, everything is 20 miles off-road away.
--> No coffee at the coffee machine they claim they have. It is only available in the morning 8 till whatever they refill lasts.
--> They have the emergency number given, but there is no network coverage, so its of no use.
Our first time visiting RMNP, and first time tent camping with our little one (3 years old). She loved it, and it was such a great escape from our day to day life, and a nice break from technology.
The bathrooms were clean and the showers were good, the water didn’t get too hot.. but when it’s cold outside, the warm water still feels amazing.
I love the lodge, we went in before bed, they had a pool table, books, puzzles, pac man machine, and some board games.
We would definitely come back again!
We booked the Gold Home and cabin for a family Christmas. Fully equipped wonderful home and breathtaking surroundings for a white winter wonderland. Had a couple of issues with power, but the owner was into it promptly with excellent service.
I can't think of a better way to experience the Rockies with my family.
The cabin was spotless and the kitchen very well equipped. The cabin was cozy and warm even at 0°
I can't wait to go back. It's magical.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the huevos and a pancake on the side. The huevos were packed with flavor! Iâm picky about pinto beans because my momâs beans will always be the best beans ever! but let me tell you, the beans ta
I was pleasantly surprised at the history found inside this little museum. The Cozens pronounced cousins were a way stop on the stagecoach road. What was more interesting are the exhibits in the second floor.

Such a great ski experience for our minimally experienced family. Our older athletic and daring teens had just enough challenge at Granby Ranch. No lift lines, and very friendly staff was an amazing bonus! Highly recommend this place if you are not f
