Chinook Cabins & RV Park

September 12, 2025 I wanted to take a few minutes to brag on Chinook RV Par in South Fork, Colorado. The owners, Keith and Cheryl Johnson, are friendly, helpful, and most accommodating. Keith is always there to help with any issues [which are rare] one might have and is always willing to talk to the campers. Cheryl is also there to help in the office & takes time to visit the campers, plus, she sells fresh eggs! Several of the campers stay as long as four months, we stay three! We travel with a 42’ toy hauler and the sites are large enough to park your truck or toy beside the RV. There are aspen trees behind the camper & a picnic table on site. The size of the park is perfect to get to know your neighbors through campfires, potlucks, card games, visiting with your neighbors, or gathering a group to take a trail ride. Chinook RV is family-friendly, pet-friendly, and has great trails for hikers. Lastly, the are quaint log cabins, laundry facilities, bathrooms and all cleaned daily. Did I mention full-hookups and Wi-Fi??? We love the environment offered by Chinook!! Thomas Vaden, McRae, AR

We have been staying at Chinook for many years and could not be happier! The owners, Keith and Cheryl have always gone above and beyond to TRY and ensure that all of the guest have an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, we all know that one person that no matter what you do, they are not going to be happy. We are currently utilizing the RV park, but have stayed in several of the cabins. As stated in the website, these cabins are over 100+ years old. It is truly a unique experience to stay in one of these themed cabins. Each cabin has been modernized with all of the amenities that one would expect. The photos that you can access from the website will confirm. The structural interior of the cabins have not been renovated, so yes, the doorways may be a little shorter than what some people are accustomed to, but once again, these are historic cabins! Renovating the interiors would take away from the nostalgia that MOST people have enjoyed as the many positive reviews will attest to. I can honestly say as a 6 foot man I have never had any problems navigating the doorways or light fixtures of any of the cabins. The charge and cancellation policy is CLEARLY stated in plain English on their website. There are no “hidden fees”or “fine print” as someone has alluded to. If you’re a happy person looking for a fun, unique and enjoyable place to book your next Colorado vacation, I highly recommend Chinook RV Park and Cabins. If you’re nit-picky and hard to please then I recommend choosing a location that has fine luxury hotels that cater to those types.

We spent the weekend as a family reunion. Booked weeks in advance. I don't know how the other cabins are but the Fort Wilderness cabin is NOT for people over 5 ft 10 in! Doors are too low and a ceiling fixture with antlers almost poked me in the eye! Also we had said we weren't sure if we needed the last day for 4 people. Asked for a credit and owner refused. Then there's a surprise charge for 'non cash fee' that was actually a credit card fee for the deposit. And a credit card fee. Seems greedy. I understand that operating expenses add up, but why nickel and dime customers. Regarding the low clearance, we were NOT informed ahead of time. Only after checking in and being stuck with the charges, which was too late. Every door was too low and I almost touched the ceiling with my head. Won't return.
