What Guests Are Saying

Stove Prairie offers a beautiful camping experience with great river access, clean sites, and friendly hosts. Many guests enjoyed the tranquil location and the opportunity to disconnect from cell service. However, some reviews noted issues with a rude camp host and inadequate restroom maintenance, which detracted from the overall experience.

Didn't actually stay here because I did not realize I was booking a tent-only site. Would be nice to get a pop-up before booking tent-only to be sure. The tent-only spots seemed the nicest as we drove thru as they seemed to be the ones on the river. The car sites were huddled around the parking lot just off the road.

Beautiful little campground on the river. Each site has easy access to the river which is just perfect. Like all campgrounds on the Poudre, there is some road noise but it's mostly washed out by the sound of the river. There is no host on site but they stopped by frequently to check on things.

Small campground. Site #2 was a perfect site for our 32 Foot trailer. The tent sites were attractive as well. The campsite is right on the Poudre River. No hiking trails but paths to the river. Right off the road but with the sound of the river there wasn't any road noise. We used the campground as a base to visit Moose Visitors' Center west near Waldon and the state park there. It is only 30 some minutes to Fort Collins to the east. The campground manager was very friendly and kept the campground clean. They are in charge of several camping sites and don't live on this one.

This is a beautiful campground with great trees for shade. The restrooms were clean and the location is perfect. Sleep to the sound of the river rushing by!
