Painted Rock Park

Unfortunately I didn’t see the part about the wrong address. Always go with RV Parkys address. Never a problem. We couldn’t turn around. 45 ft motor home with a tow rode around on dirt roads for an hour trying to get to the interstate!!  Our whole rig was white!  Went on down the rode. Lost out $42 of course

Quiet location, a few miles off I-70. Originally address was County Road 30, but it is actually on County Road 31. Best route is 30, but 31 is good condition dirt. No a lot of amenities. FHUs, wifi.

Great overnight stop! It was worth driving a few miles over good unpaved roads to get to this peaceful campground in the middle of fields. The campground wasn't fancy but provided all we needed, electric, water and sewer for a reasonable price. The owner was very hospitable and thanked us for stopping!!

When we arrived, the area wasn’t mowed. But when you can’t get help and you’re the only person working the place, you can’t really complain too much. He did however come over and mowed the area immediately along with the other sites. Now, if you’re someone who doesn’t mind a little drive out into the country with nothing around and looking for quiet, this is the place. The laundry room was pretty clean and the play area was a plus for my littles. They didn’t have a bathhouse but a lot of places have been requiring you to be self contained so that wasn’t a problem for us. They had full hook ups and for the price we paid, I’m not complaining. On the way in, it would have been nice to see a sign on the main road saying Painted Rock this way. Besides that, it wasn’t too hard to find.

This park is nothing like the online pictures. The layout is the same, but the camp sites are not mowed, the grass and weeds are knee high to shoulder high in sites 1 thru 10, it is a little shorter in sites 11 and up. Check in is at 2, we got here after 4, you would have thought they would have at least mowed our site, (made reservations Sunday, we arrived Wednesday) . We were backed in and setting up and a guy pulled in with a mower, he did not even come over and offer to knock down the weeds and grass. No showers or restrooms, there is a laundry. There are full hookups, and it is quiet way out in the country. For $38.50 I was expecting the campground I saw online. Next time we will stay in Burlington at one of the $25.00 campgrounds on gravel. Very disappointed. 

We stayed here 5 nights as a quiet layover  to catch up on bills, do laundry and relax (we are FT RVers).  We paid online and pulled in and parked on our own, as there were no employees onsite.  The owner stopped by on our 2nd day to say hello and was quite nice.  There were 4 campers that perhaps were longer term guests and 2 others that passed thru just for a night.  This is small town living but we found the land to be beautiful (and a fun stop at the Kit Carson Carousel).  There is a laundry room and a candy machine but no other amenities (no ice or propane or camp store for example).  There is a community room and office that were locked while we were there.  The FHU were well laid out and new.  The wifi worked very well for us, and did drop occasionally but it was still the best wifi we have seen at a campground EVER (it may just be excess capacity since the campground was largely empty which made it work well).  Cell service was also sufficient (verizon).  Dumpsters for trash but no recycling.  The owner mentioned that the property was "wearing its Sunday pants", a commentary on the unusual greenness of the sparse grass...the most green 10 years, he said.   This campground is a great overnight or layover, but wouldn't be a long term destination camping area.
