Guess it is all a matter of how one looks at those things.
As far as Estes Park is concerned, and we lived there for 8 years, they have this fairly narrow window of tourists (much longer window than it used to be) they have raised rv park rates very high and yet the park conditions have gone downhill.
Couple that with the town suffering the downturn in tourists due to the latest flood and aftermath and you are seeing what you are seeing on the rates.
Which is why we have most recently stayed down in Loveland the last couple of times up there.
And the Rocky Mtn NP that we loved so much is not the same with the pine beetle infestation.
We now go - as we are this year - to the southwest part of CO instead. Love it there.
