Montrose or Glenwood Springs area
We are looking at parks for 3-4 week stays for next summer. We are looking at Centennial Park south of Montrose, Colorado and/or Glenwood Springs Canyon near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Does anyone ...

Having lived in Colorado for 23 years and traveling the state on business every week, I would pick Montrose area. Both areas have the golf, fishing, medical, and shopping you ask for.
The main difference is TRAFFIC!! In Glenwood, you are right on I-70 with constant traffic noise from semis, RVs, and other usual vehicles. You also have to get on and off I-70 to get around in Glenwood.
Montrose is much more relaxing and also has many good restaurant options. It is easy to get around and offers a better variety of day trips...in any direction.
There are also a couple of excellent fly shops downtown to help you if you need it.
As for the RV park, I cannot say as the only one I ever stayed at was in Montrose before it became a KOA. There are two south of town and I don't recall which is Centennial. One looked much more appealing than the other.
The only RV park I recall in Glenwood was not one I would want to stay in because it was sitting on I-70.
You asked for better suggestions so I would suggest you consider Pagosa Springs. We had a place there and always enjoyed it with excellent scenery, fishing, etc. It has all of the things you mentioned, plus is always cooler than Montrose or Glenwood.
Have fun wherever you go!!
