We have camped here 4years in a row. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
We always do a one hour trail ride on horses. Make reservations for breakfast on Saturday mornings only! You will have a customized pancake as big as your plate. Sausage, juice and coffee. The RV sites are all clean with a electric, water, fire pit and picnic table. The store has all the basics for camping. Also apparel, toy guns, cowboy hats, stuffed animals and more. A good selection of snacks and some food. Around 5 pm hang out at the park and watch the cowboys and cowgirls run all the horses from the stables to the pasture for the night. Fun for adults and kids. Don’t be surprised to see a moose or two in your camp site. They frequent the camp ground because of the abundance of willow trees.

Good group of wranglers, nice horses. I take a ride with this group every time I come up to Grand Lake in the summer and fall.

Me and my friends help me to look for a simple but perfect wedding venue. The winding River Ranch caught our hearts, because it is really peaceful and awesome. Their rooms and cabins are really great. Me, my family and friends enjoyed our stay.

The staff here are very friendly and treat you like family. The mountain scenery makes this place very special. There are a wide range of outdoor activities available, including horseback riding. I stayed in a room at the lodge; however, I did have the opportunity to see one of the cabins; it was large and looked very cozy. I give this place a very high rating.

The Winding River Ranch was a dream destination for our wedding!! We had many of our friends and family able to stay right on the ranch with us to enjoy the weekend festivities. Everything turned out better than we could have imagined, including the weather. We were so thankful for Kristin and Travis throughout the whole experience. Listen to Kristin, she knows what makes sense at the venue as she has seen it all! Our friends and family were over the moon in such a picturesque place. And, of course, we were too! <3Photos by Drake & CO Photography

My family and I spent 5 nights here at the end of July for a family retreat event. GENERAL LOCATION: The ranch is in a great location nestled near the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park at approx. 8,000 ft in elevation. It's also a 5 minute drive to Grand Lake and horseback riding. The town is definitely on "mountain time" meaning they start shutting down when it gets slow, or just before nightfall. THE RANCH: The ranch in general does have a lot to offer and it appeared that it's mostly used for weddings. They have a basketball court, volleyball court, kids play area, petting area with various farm animals, indoor pool, workout area, kitchen area, gazebo, fishing stream, 2 bridges, yard games, s'mores fire pit, BBQ grills, and a ton of places for photo ops! There were also several cabins throughout the ranch of various sizes that could hold families of 4-5 in each cabin. I think there were close to 15 different cabins to stay in. PROS: We really liked being on the ranch and got to spend some great quality family time doing family events on the ranch. We fished, rode horses, played BB, cornhole, and a few other yard games. We also saw a large Moose and her baby grazing about 100m from our cabin. It's really common to see Moose in the area, but it was a special treat to see her with her baby. We also saw humming birds and tiny chipmunks around all cabins each day. CONS: For 2 days we became overwhelmed by mosquito's. It got so bad that they called in a local company to fog the area with repellent to help kill them. The fogging did help and significantly reduced the number of mosquito's in the area. The rooms, bedding, beds, bathrooms, and cabins in general are nothing to brag about. They are old, and in need of big updating. I tried not to let this cloud my judgement about the ranch as a whole because we were there to enjoy the outdoors but it would have been nice to come back to a nice room and shower at the end of the day. If their main focus is a wedding venue, I was expecting to be in a much nicer cabin, especially considering they cater to people on one of their most memorable days. The cell phone coverage in the area is very hit and miss. Overall, the family and I enjoyed our time here and made some great memories!!
