Awesome place at the end of a fairly rough dirt road. Original lodge with pool table. Dark sky, lots of stars. Definitely going back. Probably stay in in one of the tent “cabins” facing the pond with showers!

AVR is a private and peaceful space to camp with many amenities and proximity to the national forest and the Granby entrance to RMNP. Monarch Lake and its many trails are within walking distance. Be prepared for a very bumpy and dusty 8 miles on the last stretch of washboarded dirt road to get there.

The views were stunning & late check in was smooth with an easy-to-read map! If you’re RV camping, there isn’t a sewer hookup but the vault toilet was the cleanest one I’ve ever seen if you don’t want to fill your black water tank. There’s a dump & fill station very close to the campground. Really great access to RMNP through the southwest side of the park leading you up and around the most beautiful drive you’ll ever go on. Lots of space on each site and a really great place to stay. Wed definitely go back again.

Fabulous spot and many levels of accommodations to choose from. I was in an RV but it was fun to look around on the property and see how everyone was enjoying all the activities: fishing poles, SUP, watercraft rentals, etc. the best part though was watching and listening to the kids play and ride their bikes down in the tent campground. Such a fun, safe, family oriented space. There are tons of trails To hike, you can mtb on the roads, drive up the road and hike at Monarch Lake. Everyone there was so accommodating also. There is also access to Grand lake at the Moraine And Roaring Fork campgrounds To the lake. I believe the Roaring Fork campground had a closed boat ramp that people were parking at and hauling their boats to the lake….also fly fishing along the river but look up the regulations beforehand. I’d go back in a minute!
