Riverview RV Park - Loveland, CO (Update)
I have always highly recommended Riverview RV Park in Loveland, CO for visits to Estes Park in that the parks in Estes have degenerated so much after the last few years - owner faults, not nature faul...

I know all that area very well - Inn of Glen Haven and the General Store were two of our favorites -- one for dinner and one for the rolls! I have seen video of all those roads you mention; truly hard to comprehend.
Unless someone has been thru something like this they have absolutely no conception of the destruction.
Lots of fires up that way in the past due a lot to the pine beetle kill somewhat (turns to the trees to dry tinder) and that only makes flooding easier.
For those who do not know, the Big Thompson River comes down from Estes to Loveland in about 20 miles; the last section of which is called The Narrows - high walls and very narrow; sharing only the river and Hwy 34 the last couple of miles. Then wide open to the Ranch and the RV Park on each side of the highway. The water coming out of there to them must have been unreal.
The good news, if any, was that there was almost no loss of life in the disaster.
