Be aware before you book here. This place is not as advertised on the website. Maybe it will be one day but not now. You are basically camping in a Walmart parking lot. Not a tree over two feet tall and grass is hard to find and patchy at this point. The facilities that are done are nice and the staff was great. However, the features they said they had that we came for with our kids are non existent. They didn't let us know ahead of time, you find out at check-in. No pool, no playground, no jumping pillow, nothing but pavement and construction. The inflatables in the retention pond were not even fully inflated. We had a Bobcat running up and down the road all morning on Saturday. The wind was horrible and there is no mature landscaping to act as a barrier. Out of the dozen occupied campsites I think at least 8 were construction workers working on the facility. It might be a nice place in 5 years but after the bait and switch they pulled on us we won't ever go back.

Update after owners response- While it's nice they responded it is 100% false that they reached out to update guests. We booked in December and didn't ever hear 1 peep from them about not being fully operational. We even talked to them on the phone a couple weeks before our stay to let them know we had a different camper than when we booked and update our reservation. No mention of anything was made at that time either.

My wife and I have been to Alpen Bluffs many times.The facility is large with many things to do,such as swimming with large flotations and slides,along with more outside games.All cabins to be rented are gorgeous.The food is very reasonably priced,and very good.Inside also has several golf simulators for all golfers,along with a first class bar!!If you need anything for your stay they have a nice store.
We love the place and will plan longer stays!
Thank you Alpen Bluffs

Stayed here while in town visiting some friends & was very happy with my stay! Management is great. The cabin we stayed in was very clean & very spacious. We were able to comfortably fit 4 adults & 4 children with room to spare. Plenty of places to sleep as the cabin offers 2 full loft beds, a pull out couch, a bunk bed & a bedroom with a full bed. Kitchen was fully furnished & had a nice little breakfast bar & table for us to eat at. Bathroom was nice & clean. Shampoo/conditioner, washcloths & towels were provided for showers. The front of the cabin has a porch that’s perfect for early morning sunrises or sunsets. We had Mulligans at the bluff for dinner which was across from our cabin & it was fantastic. If you forgot anything for your stay & need to run to the store no worries! Walmart & Meijer are 7 mins away! Super convenient.

We were unable to do the extra activities due to it being April & the weather. However, we can’t wait to go back this summer to get the full experience. I’ve already recommended this place to family & friends.

We were looking for something to do for a teenager birthday party on a possibly rainy day in October, and we found Alpen Bluffs' virtual golf online. I emailed for more information and heard back immediately from a manager, who was responsive and answered all my questions. He reserved two bays, Bay 3 and 4, for us yesterday, October 18th. It was a great time! Ten boys, 14 and 15 years old, played virtual golf for about an hour and half with drinks and appetizers. The manager gave us a deal with a large group booking and the server was always conscious and helpful to keep within our budget for 12 people! We got all-around awesome service and everyone was so nice. The boys loved it!

We stopped by to take a look and walk around, and we loved it! The staff was very welcoming, especially Kaylyn in the restaurant. She helped us with the Golf simulation and we had a great time! Looking forward to staying in the campground next season!
