Ridgway State Park – MotorHome Camping Colorado State Parks Review
This review is for the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk Campground (Cow Creek) which happens to be one of our attractive state campgrounds (in spite of some problems as detailed below.) attributes assimilate whole hookups, paved interior roads, concrete pads, small density of camping sites to area, fire ring, BBQ grill, picnic table and close proximity to Ouray and Silverton for sightseeing and 4×4 trails, and Montrose for shopping.
ensuing staying there for a couple days it was exaggeratedly obvious additional management oversight was/is needed. Issues: 1) Speeding in the campground is a persistent problem in spite of the few speed bumps. I observed a little tyke on a scooter relatively ask take care of business over by a speeding motorhome (my heart about stopped during I watched this unfold.) This fellow must have been driving 20-25 MPH in the campground loop (speed limit is 10) and he came really close to me when I was walking my dog.
They had a friend after in a car going just as immediate. more speed bumps are necessary for those that decide to ignore rules (more about ignoring rules later.) 2) This is just too weird to believe – check-out time is 12 noon and check-in time is 12 noon. For the 99.99% of parks we have been to over the last five years, the times are wisely staggered. We arrived at our site at 12:10 pm (I looked at the time) and was amazed to see a 5th wheel, truck, and truck/boat nonetheless in our domain. definitely check-out times were not enforced at least in this instance. 3) In site #245 I observed over a several day period up to five (5!) vehicles not including their 5th wheel trailer parked in the campsite overnight. The rules and I quote are: ”
The allowable combinations are: One passenger vehicle and two tents; or One motorized vehicle towing a camping trailer and one tent (if space allows) If space permits, *-ONE-* (emphasis added) additional passenger vehicle and/or motorcycle may be parked at a campsite.” In this identical domain I significance we had Bubba’s Garage few up. They were working on the engine of an old 4×4 vehicle, and I suppose changing tires around; there were a pile of tires under their 5th wheel. each of this happened with rangers and park volunteers making their automatic rounds. completely unbelievable. What’s the direct of having rules if they aren’t enforced? Are they just suggestions? 4) In just about all campsite we looked at, the bushes which would be on the street-side or left side of the camping unit as parked on the house are in dire want something of trimming. We had to address our unit direction to the right to prevent opening our slide into the bushes. Of the set trees on the campground loop, one in particular needs limbs trimmed; we had to drive around the tree to prevent scratching our paint. We camped there in a Motorhome.
