Vallecito Resort in Colorado

Really disappointed at the management of this "campground." Made reservations several weeks ago to stay 7 days during the July 4th week. I requested & was told that I would be in a pull-thru site. When I arrived, they had placed me in a site adjacent to a building with NO WAY to pull around it, due to retirement trailers behind it. THIS WAS NOT A PULL-THRU SITE. When I inquired about the two sites next to it, I was told they were "reserved." They were empty for the first three nites I was there. The only other side was a "back in" site that I was shown. NO WAY was I getting a 31' 5er into that site. Also behind my site was the "community bldg" where they had people coming & going, some walking thru our site. Vallecito Resort is actually PART RETIREMENT VILLAGE, SUMMER CAMP w/CABINS AND PART CAMPGROUND. I feel I was lied to when I made my reservation or else someone changed my reserved site before I arrived. Bottom line is lesson learned. Our vacation was fantastic despite this particular campground AND I will never camp there again. Good service or the lack of it determines how successful one is. I don't see this campground succeeding ( many of the retirement campers were for sale ).
  • Wish you could have gone on up and arround the lake to Blue Spruce Campground. We really enjoyed staying there.
