5. Mountain Exhale Stop

10mi from Lakewood · 1 site · RV · Evergreen, CO

Welcome to Mountain Exhale Stop — a quiet reset in the Colorado foothills. Tucked among tall pines under open sky, this private RV pad is a peaceful pause on your journey — a place to breathe, rest, and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re passing through or exploring the foothills, this spot offers calm, space, and fresh mountain air. The concrete pad fits RVs, vans, and trailers up to 25 feet max. The pad slopes downward, so leveling blocks are required. Due to the layout and approach, travel trailers must back in — there is no turnaround space. There are a few gentle turns on arrival; drive slowly and you’ll settle in easily. This is a self-contained, pack-in/pack-out site designed for guests comfortable with a simple, nature-based stay. There is no bathroom, water fill, or dumping station on site. Power hookup may be available — please confirm before arrival. Generators are not allowed. Days here are slow, quiet, and grounding. Nights are still, dark, and star-filled. You might see elk, deer, or fox wander through (maybe a lucky bear!) — part of the beauty of staying close to the wild. For safety, the driveway entrance is monitored with cameras, but there are no cameras at the pad — your privacy is respected. Pets are welcome and must be leashed outdoors. Please clean up after them so this space stays beautiful for others. Quiet hours are 9 PM to 7 AM — this is a place to unwind, not a party site. Expect cool pine-scented mornings, peaceful sunsets, and the kind of quiet that helps you sleep deeply. This stop is ideal for travelers who appreciate simplicity, nature, open sky, and respectful stillness. If you’re craving mountain air, gentle solitude, and a safe place to land — Mountain Exhale Stop is here for your pause, your breath, and your reset.

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!

6 nights at Riverview RV Park and Campground

Well run commercial campground between Loveland & RMNP. Ours & most sites by us had just 50A & 20A electric. We were promised a 30A site so they lent us a converter (great staff esp maintenance guy). Water was great but pressure varied, next time we'll use their water to fill our tank then use our pump for consistent pressure. Sites were a little small but our 30' trailer fit easily. Some sites had big class A's & 5th wheels w/6 slide outs. Staff spread out campers so our neighboring sites were vacant half the week we were there. Beautiful perimeter trail along the river & nice dog park. Very quiet & friendly place, ~20 minutes to a Safeway in Loveland but still has that out-in-the-woods feel. 45 minutes to Estes Park & a bit under an hour to Rocky Mountain National Park. Lots of cabins & RV parks in this area but this one is back in the woods so no noise from US34.

The park was well maintained and had the feel of being in the deep woods. Although you could see a peek of the highway through the trees you could only hear the river.

Riverview RV Park had easy accessibility to Rocky Mountain National Park and any service needed was within 7 miles. It was far enough from Loveland, CO to be away from the congestion. It was a very pleasant place to stay.

We were unable to stay at the ranch due to the weather and us not wanting our tent to be wet. We were able to pick up our farm fresh eggs and Martin was great communicating with us. We were disappointed the weather changed our plans.

3 nights at Riverview RV Park and Campground

We spent three nights at Riverview RV Park and Campground and found the accommodations to be just fine. We had a small snafu regarding power (thought we were getting 30A, but the pedestals were 50A or 20A only), but the camp store loaned us a dogbone adapter so we could fully power our coach. The entrance to the campground is IMMEDIATELY off the highway, which is convenient ... but be aware this is one of the main highways to Estes Park and there WILL be traffic noise. The entrance is also on a bend, so pull out onto the highway decisions will need to made quickly! Our full hookup site backed up to the Big Thompson River, which was a lovely mountain stream. The site was reasonably level, and there are restroom and shower facilities available to campers. There is also a surprisingly well stocked store located on the grounds, which services travelers and a number of full-time and/or full-season residents who you will share the campground with. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Riverview and would recommend it. It's convenient location - halfway between Loveland, CO and Estes Park / Rocky Mountain National Park - made it a great choice for us as we like to dump our coach and go exploring from there. And there are PLENTY of places to explore from this location.

Great spot and Martin and his family were very welcoming and hospitable. Our 3 year old loved visiting with the horse and donkeys and helping feed the chickens and goats everyday. ATT cell signal isn’t good in this general area and wifi from barn was tough to stay connected to while in the camper but it was also nice to disconnect for a bit.

We tent camped here and it is an ideal site for tent, RV or small cabins. They had several amenities that made it feel like going away to summer camp. This place was awesome for our whole family!
