Yurt Family

First time staying in a yurt and it was a hit. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever, and it made the whole trip feel a little more special.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Jackie and family

Well run.

Brought the kids up for a few days and they didn’t want to leave. Between the waterpark and open space, they were busy the whole time. Everything felt safe, clean, and well run.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Jennifer

Never left.

Loved having the on-site restaurant right there—super convenient after a long day. Food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed. Nice not having to leave the property.

David R.

Love the sims.

The golf simulators were a huge bonus. Didn’t expect that at a place like this, but it made the evenings really fun. Perfect setup whether you’re serious about golf or just messing around.

Janie & Carol

Kids had a blast!

Stayed at Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort for a long weekend and were seriously impressed. Everything feels clean and well kept, and the whole place has a really relaxed but upscale vibe. The kids loved the waterpark, and we appreciated how quiet and comfortable the site was at night. It’s the kind of place you can actually unwind. Already planning our next trip back.

Cabin Stay

Stayed in one of the cabins and it was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and felt more like a small vacation rental than a campground stay. Great option if you don’t have an RV.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Oswald Family

First time staying.

First time staying at Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort and it exceeded expectations. Everything is really well maintained and the sites are laid out nicely. The waterpark was a huge bonus. Great spot for a family trip.

Peterson Family

We Will Be Back!

Had a great stay at Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort. Super clean, spacious sites and way more of a resort feel than a typical campground. The waterpark was a big hit, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great location too—close to everything but still relaxing. We’ll definitely be back.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

B. Davis

Staff +++

We’ve stayed at a lot of campgrounds, and this one stands out. It feels more like a resort than a campground. Clean, quiet, and just an overall great atmosphere. Staff was awesome too.

Cool store.

The Alpen Market was super convenient—grabbed snacks and drinks without leaving the property. Nice to have that right on site.
