We just spent the last week at Elk Meadow RV Resort there in Estes Park and the cancellation Policy was very clear on their webpage, and when I called and made reservations they mentioned the cancellation Policy twice while I was booking. The policy didn't seem at all strange to me as it seems to be fairly common when booking in high demand areas. It's not as bad as many airline ticket policies, cruise ships etc.
It's a shame your trip to Colorado didn't work out for you. It's great this time of year and we had a blast for the 10 days we were there. Nice and warm in the valleys, yet many trails in the high country still have very deep snow and it was cool to cold in the mountains. Rivers are running swift and deep, full of rafters. If you can somehow take them up on the offer of visiting sometime later in the year I'd do everything I could to make it happen.
