Please note: All prices are
subject to change. These are our best
estimates given the information available.
I do not check rates on a daily basis so please check with the
organizations directly for binding pricing.
- You can stay in a tent
in the group area at Elk Creek
Campground. This
will be the “central” area for reunion activities. No reservations are needed to stay
here. Bring a tent and sleeping
materials. (We have a few extra
tents and sleeping bags that we can lend in an emergency.) The cost of the group area is $200 per
night for the first 20 people, and $10 per night per person for each
person above the first 20. We will
divide the total cost of the group area evenly among the person-nights
that stay there. Although no
reservations or arrangements are needed, it would be good for you email
us and let us know you want to stay here so we have an idea what
what’s in store.
- You can camp
in a tent, camper, or RV in your own site at Elk Creek Campground. There are 14 sites for small campers
with electric and water, 3 50-amp RV sites with full hookups, 23 30-amp
sites with full hookups, and 36 tent sites. Tent sites run from $28 to $31 per night
for two people, while RV sites run from $35 to $50 per night for two
people. Make reservations as soon
as possible for these sites by calling Pat Janes at (970) 984-2240 or (866) 489-3240 or email her at Janes@rof.net. She shuts down for the winter on
September 30, and she claims she doesn’t take any calls after that
until April 1. (I personally
can’t vouch for that.)
- You can stay
in one of the cabins at Elk
Creek Campground.
There are 13 “Camper Cabins” which are small one-room
sheds with one bed, sometimes a bunk, and no linen. (In fact, none of the cabins have
linen.) Two cabins have bath and
shower and sleep four. The largest
cabin is a two-bedroom with bath and shower, and sleeps six. The cabins run from $50 to $98 per
night. Make reservations as soon as
possible for these cabins by calling Pat Janes at (970) 984-2240 or (866) 489-3240 or email her at Janes@rof.net. She shuts down for the winter on
September 30, and doesn’t take any calls after that until April 1.
- You can camp
at one of the other campgrounds in the area, such as Rifle
Falls State Park ($14 without electric or $18 per night
with electric), or Rifle
Gap State Park (From $8 per night for a primitive site to $160 per
night for a Premium Large Cabin).
Colorado State Parks also charge an additional $6 per car per day
to enter the park area. You can
make reservations online by visiting the web site links. These parks are
roughly 16 miles from Elk Creek Campground,
which will be the “central” area for reunion activities. (See below or Click
here for local map.) Also
please note that Elk Creek Campground will require all
“visitors” that do not reside there to check in each morning
and pick up a car pass, leave by 9:00 each evening, and pay $5 per day per
person. We twisted Pat’s arm
and obtained special dispensation to allow Mock Famliy Reunion visitors to
stay until 10:00 each evening.
- You can stay
in a hotel such as the Roadway
Inn in New Castle (from $89 per night), Red River
Inn in Silt, or in nearby Rifle
or Glenwood
Springs including the Hot
Springs Lodge (from $180 per night).
New Castle is just a few minutes away, while Rifle and Glenwood
Springs are about a 20-minute drive from Elk Creek Campground. (See Below or Click here for local map.)
As mentioned, Elk Creek Campground will require all
“visitors” that do not reside there to check in each morning
and pick up a car pass, leave by 10:00 each evening, and pay $5 per day
per person.
