Winding River Resort

Even though the area was recently affected by a wildfire, it was still a beautiful resort to stay in. The amenities were fantastic. This place is extremely family friendly, offering a playground, basketball courts, a petting zoo, and horseback riding. The sites offered were very spacious and well-maintained. With the added bonus of having two 4 legged friends wandering the premises keeping an eye over everything. ;) We will definitely be back.

This resort is not a good one. I cant beleive they have the rating they currently have! We reserved a full service campsite there and they had a fire ban, so not much to do outside the camper and the flies and bugs made sure of it. They have horseback riding, but don't reserve it in advance. No refunds regardless of the situation. The campsite in general was subpar and we've been to much better. In town, they don't have many places to eat, so make sure youbare cooking at the campsite and bring gas. Since its within Rocky Mountain National Park, the fire bans will be frequent and un predictable. It was a full service site though which was a positive, but don't expect much from the views as its sourounded by burn areas. Also no wireless service and no wifi, so bring your dvds.

Love love love Winding River! We try to make this place an annual visit. My daughter loves horses and this place has so many beautiful and kind animals. We didn't stay in a cabin, just camped. Great little campsites. Some very close to each other, but it is OK. The only complaint we have was the portapotty was pretty gross. The main bathroom facilities are much much nicer.

Special shout out to our wranglers Anna and Riley, love them!

We loved our stay at Winding River Resort! Our tent site was surrounded by Aspens, greenery, and wildflowers (there were wildflowers all over the property). The site was slightly small and the strip of campsites along the north side of the property butt up against some homes, but neither of those things really impacted our experience. The grounds and facilities were extremely well maintained. There were so many activities and the staff was friendly. We look forward to coming back as a family!

Went on a trail ride and Forrest (our ride leader) is a really remarkable young man - he’s going to do great things. My kids (10/12yo) really loved him too. The horses were gentle and very sweet. The grounds of the resort are very pretty and the river runs through it, which was a nice touch. There’s a small petting zoo on site and our kids really enjoyed that. We’d like to go back for the chuckwagon breakfast and a couple of other events that are happening in the summer. Overall, the staff was really sweet and professional. I was very impressed. If you’re an experienced rider, the trail ride will feel slow and a little boring, but at the same time this is a trail ride that a four-year-old could safely go on - it’s very peaceful and relaxing.
