This is a wonderful campground for boon docking. It is nestled in a grove of evergreen trees adjacent to the Big Meadows Reservoir, a beautiful stocked fishing lake. ... but... they are redoing the entire campground. That includes drilling a new water well. The site's water quality has always been a problem, and this year, campers had to go off-site to get water. Sadly, the the campground will be closed for the entire 2010 camping season while this makeover is in progress. You can still fish the reservoir and hike the area's trails. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

Fun Valley is a great family RV resort. The sites are all gravel or grass and they are a little close together. The park is in a perfect location on the South Fork of the Rio Grande river which flows though the property and has many beautiful huge trees. On top of that there are a dozen or so small ponds that the park stocks with fish. They have a miniature golf course, paddle boats, horseback rides, an arcade and outdoor and indoor game area. They have a cafeteria that is open for every meal every day. The downside is that it is almost too popular and things get very very crowded in July. They have a policy of not turning anyone away. If the sites are all taken they just put you in a pasture until one becomes available. They also do not take reservations. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

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.

Sites are closer together than I prefer, but area was still quiet at night. Upper sites are very close to US 160, but lower sites were shielded from a lot of traffic noise. Had good WiFi when we arrived but experienced some problems later on in our stay. Manager is very pleasant. It is a short walk to Rio Grande and fishing. Park says they plant the river, but a Colorado license is required. There is a table at each site but only a community fire ring. Only very basic supplies are available in South Fork. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very friendly campground. It is convenient to fishing the South Fork of the Rio Grande (just a very short walk). The campground has a very nice private stretch of river. The sites are very close together. And the cable consists of just a few stations. The sites away from Hwy.160 are better as the road noise is slightly diminished. It is quieter at night. We traveled with our dogs and there is a nice meadow to walk them in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

New owners have renamed the park "Alpine Trails RV Park". Young couple from Texas bought the place and are putting a lot of "sweat equity" and some money into it. Nice place to stay. Near the junction. Quiet and clean. Lots of regulars returning there. We extended our stay to explore the non-Pagosa Springs hot springs in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was recently sold (July 2009). The new owners have made many improvements in the past weeks, gone are the weeds! We have been staying here for the last 6 summers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

We just stayed here one night, but enjoyed it. The grandkids played in the river. We had a riverfront spot, which was extra, but worth it to us. A shady, nice park. Staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't use the laundry, but it looked clean. Definitely will stay here again, longer next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground, friendly people. The only problem is the mosquitoes!! They need to spray occasionally. The staff is great, laundry very reasonably priced. Sites fairly level. Wi-Fi is okay--not a whole bunch of bandwidth to let several on at a time so you kinda take your chances. Lots of trees, but we lucked out with a spot to use the satellite. We'll come back!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were located in space 39 on the Rio Grande river which was nice and spacious. The river access makes this the nicest park in the Southfork - Creede area. The principal objections we had were as follows: (1)our reservations were messed up and we heard this problem echoed by other occupants, (2)the park needs a good tree thinning in order to improve access, and (3)some stray dogs were in the area. The new managers assured us that the kinks in the reservation system were going to be improved. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
