We are planning a trip to Mountain Park, CO about 40 miles west of Ft. Collins. We have a family of 5 and the campground doesn't have a dump station. We are staying a week and I'm a bit worried about not having a dump station on site.
Is anyone familiar with this area to recommend a dump station nearby? Are there any ways to locate such a place online? I know that Corp of Engineers campgrounds will charge a small fee ($4 or 5) to dump but I'm not sure if there are any in that area.

To address your specific concern about being there a week and not being able to dump, consider using the very nice showers (coin operated)/restrooms there; perhaps encourage the kiddos to use those instead of your own facilities.
As mentioned, depending on which direction you're headed from Mountain Park, there's the Colorado State Forest SP facility which is 40 miles west, or there's the KOA at the intersection of US 287/CO 14 at Ted's Place. I'm pretty sure the KOA still will allow dumping for a fee. There's nothing closer.
