Robert and his wife (I'm sorry, I may have forgotten her name but I think it's Beth), are the best camp hosts SP has had in years. I hope they are back next year!

Summary
Stove Prairie offers a beautiful camping experience along the Poudre River, with many guests appreciating the soothing sounds of the water and the friendly camp host. While some noted issues with cleanliness in the bathrooms and the presence of non-paying day visitors, the overall atmosphere and proximity to nature, along with nice walking trails, make it a desirable spot. Campers enjoyed family-friendly activities and the scenic environment, though some expressed frustrations over the camp host's demeanor and additional fees.

Nice campsites. Walk to tent sites are on the creek and well separated from the RV sites.

Stove prairie is an absolutely gorgeous, quiet location right by the river with chokecherry trees and apple trees surrounding the grounds. It was very clean and well kept. I would highly recommend staying here if you have the opportunity.

Great location, close to lots of hikes and right on the river. The sites were a good distance apart and the bathroom was cleaned each day. Would stay here again!

Small and peaceful campsite. Many of the sites are steps away from the banks of the Poudre River. Sites are a bit small for tent camping but that shouldn't discourage you. One tent was great. Multiple tents may be harder. The sound of the rushing water was loud but soothing. The campground is close to the main road but the rushing water drowned out the sound of the occasional vehicle that passed by.

Arrival & departure
- Campsites must be occupied within 26 hours of reservation start; otherwise, they may be rented out.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
