Jellystone Park at Larkspur

Great family friendly campground resort. Lots of deer and rabbits.They have a something for everyone here.I do though wish that they had an adults only pool area.

Zero communication. I couldn't make my trip to there and had already paid $700..I had to open a dispute with my credit card company to get my money back. I have emailed, messaged, called and they never get back to me. This place is shady. Never went, but will never go after this ordeal. We were well within their 14 days cancellation policy..buyer beware. Zero stars

Constance and Sharon/Shannon (sorry, mom brain!) were absolute angels. They were so considerate and kind about us being outnumbered 2.5 kids per parent, and when the coffee maker went out on us Constance made sure we had coffee in hand as quickly as we could walk to the ranger station. When my partner forgot his phone and we were behind on regrouping to check out, they again gave us grace. This was our first visit, and I immediately joined the club and declared this location to be a yearly family trip from here on out! Let friendly, helpful, clean, and consistent with kindness. Thank you Larkspur team jellystone!

Arrived to a spot that's a mess, what I presume is oil spilled on the patio and trash in spot. The staff speeds by the road in front of us and blows through the stop sign a regular intervals. Traffic is heavy on BooBoo street. I would stay away from this trashy place. For the money they should at least make sure the spots are picked up before you arrive. Oh if you like a train going by every hour so loud you can't hear a person talking and trash then you may like this dump

Boo Boo Cabin Review - first, we rarely post negative reviews. The location in Larkspur is beautiful & the cabin roomy & comfortable. Unfortunately we were disappointed by the management & upkeep of the lodging: - visiting in March & there were living flies every where despite it being cold & not in season- the Loft floor was very dirty, kids swept it plus bed was not made & random packing tape found on ceiling (see photo)- floors were dirty turning bottom of our socks brown- disgusting hair & dead flies in silverware holder & bath wall scones - lots of black, brown & golden dog hair on bed covers- a variety of items Not Working - fire-pit & lighter, WiFi - the bath door doesn't stay closed - lots of dust & debris including dirty, dusty, buggy window sills & blinds, floors, etc...- Arcade prize dispenser not working - Amenities not open like Clubhouse pool, fitness center & cafe despite having to pay 'amenity fee'!!!- bedcovers are old, thin & quite frankly disgusting - phone at front desk never answered, we called several times & calls not returned!! In summary, we were disappointed after spending a good amount of money for spring break trip with grandkidsl

The Resort is our favorite of the 30+ RV parks we stayed throughout the entire summer! It has everything we wanted and needed. Great place for families/kids/camping! Best experience from check in to check out! Everything is run seamlessly! Entire camp is clean and well kept! Tammy & Samantha were an absolute delight! They were friendly, professional, kind, and very helpful! Samantha & Tammy are assets to the Larkspur location!! We hope to return very soon!

There is a lot of room for improvement needed here and a lot probably has to do with staffing or lack of. Arrived Saturday (check in was 3PM). We stayed in cabin 340 (2 bedroom: queen bed, bunk with full and twin). This cabin is located right next to the recreation building, dog park, & fitness center. There is a patio area off the bedroom containing the queen and also a large sit down patio with table, 6 chairs, gas fireplace pit, & gas grill. On arrival our gas grill looked like it hadn't been cleaned in some time. Here began our first encounter with maintenance. We later would find out our patio light was out (that took 3 attempts to get replaced). Kitchen comes with dining table, 4 chairs, full size fridge, stove top range, microwave, toaster, single cup Keurig, & stocked with the necessities needed for cooking and serving along with dish soap and paper towels. It shares space with mounted flatscreen and a 2 seater couch that is a pull out. Bathroom is single sink, small cabinet containing extra towels (think we had a total of 4 and ended up asking for more which was a 2 call inquiry). It's a shower only setup; there was wall mounted hand soap, body wash, shampoo, & conditioner. These were unfortunately empty on our visit; and part of the three tries to remedy. Before I move on from our cabin we spent the last day of our stay with a broken AC (this took 2 calls; first determined it was working, second overruled the first diagnosis and found the unit was completely unresponsive). They offered to move us but at this point it was our last night and seemed pointless. The pools (there are 2) were very much enjoyed but again staffing was close to nothing. We waited to attempt the pools after crowds started moving out Sunday. The pool did not feel heated beyond what the jacuzzi waterfall poured into it. This pool area contained the outside bar/food offerings. I found the souvenir kids cup drinks pricing very cheap (2 bucks and some change), you could get these at the inside counter. This pool stays open until 10PM. The water zone which is where there is another sitting/kids pool and water park has very limited seating (I'd hate to see this place at capacity). Our group rented a cabana for the whole trip thankfully. I have to say the food we tried from the concession area here was delicious (cheese stuffed bread sticks, funnel cake fries, Buffalo chicken empanadas) and prices weren't bad. The water zone was freezing, I struggled getting accustomed to the water. I also noticed one of the small kids slides was broken, no water pumped into it keeping the slides fully wet and water pooled at end (it did catch water from the drop bucket). This kept it slick so when my daughter went down it she went flying out over the end hurting herself. This area stays open until 6PM. Arcade; don't bother! More than half the games are broken, you can only buy a game card if you have cash from register (the machines that normally distribute those were broken). General store was disappointing in souvenir offerings. I'm sorry I like things more location specific. Golf cart, rent one. I don't know how you can get to everything this location offers without one. Unless your diehard walker (which we did quite a bit). Outdoor sports area; my kids loved the bouncy floor it just was a trek to get to on foot. Activities were very few and again lack of staff made it all very chaotic. Ice cream store (pop up located near recreation building and park) wasn't open Sunday/Monday during our stay. This was extremely disappointing. Not sure if this is normal hours; or just again understaffed. We saw Yogi bear 3 times during our 4 day stay, not once during the activities that were being held (I've heard he does a flag raising at other parks). Gem stone mining; our group purchased the 21 dollar mining bag it contained enough for 4 kids ages 4-10. The mining activity is basically an at your leisure (there are 4 sluice boxes). It's located near the red train and look out tower (both great photo ops). Sadly not sure my family will return to this Jelly stone location. We in total were a group of 18 ( 3 cabins & one rv site). Aside all the hiccups it's a lackluster location in terms of scenery; if you like trains, coal trains are a plenty to hear and watch at ALL hours of the day, and being right off the highway. Trees are almost completely clear cut and gone with many young trees, so in 20 years+ might make this place feel more of a "camp" like location.

Upcharge everything the golf cart rentals were 95 DOLLARS a day would not approve this jellystone there are better ones in a 100 mile radius

If you make a reservation make sure you get every detail before you book. Was quoted a price that matched my specifications when I made the reservation. Before my trip I called to confirm everything, but I found the reservation person did not realize that the cabin I requested was billed under a different code so he did not reserve the correct cabin and my specifications were not honored. The reservation person apologized and admitted his error, tried to make amends, however, he did not have the ability to correct his error. The park wanted substantially more money, close to $387 during the Christmas holiday. Their error made it difficult to reschedule someplace else.

We have been here in the rv park for 9 days and love it! That being said, we are with alarge group of 400+ rv's that have very few children. I suspect this place might be a bit of a "zoo" when school is out and the place is flooded with children. The facilities are wonderful. The pools are huge and comfortably warm. A nice spa too. There is a miniature golf course and a huge slide for kids. I wish they had better Internet connection (it is almost nonexistent) but lots of cable tv channels available. Despite the expense of around 91 dollars a day to rent a golf cart, we DID rent one because this place is huge! Several nice grassy dog parks Larkspur has just a few restaurants, but Castle Rock is about 20 minutes away with lots.
