Mountain Views at the Rivers Edge RV Park and RV Resort

This is home until July 2, 2015 -

Critique:

It is very beautiful here at this park.  This is the entrance and look at the lovely rainbow!  Yes it is rainy this time of year.

This RV park has two parts: The resort area has spectacular lots for sale and they are
Be-au-tiful, along the headwaters of the Rio Grande. Because they are owned and not rented, the folks with he mammoth RV's worth 100's of thousands of dollars, maybe a million, have spaces here with they modify to there liking, with hot tubs, outdoor bars, elaborate landscaping and the like.  It is amazing and certainly out of our league!

After checking in at the passcode secured gate,  you drive the above promenade to the office to formally check in.  The "haves" are quickly winnowed from the "have-nots"  (meaning us) and we made our way to the RV Park area, which is much more run of the mill RV fare.  We have a graveled space, with full hook-ups, reliable internet, and access to laundry, showers, and clubhouse.

There are pros and cons to this place, like all places.

Pros:  Great scenery, great clubhouse with tables, pool table, events and activities.  The laundry room is ultra clean and modern with plenty of machines.

The grounds are great, even splendid on the RV Resort side.  The whole place is very secure and well run. Post office boxes to receive your mail.  Fully staffed office!

Cons:  Man is it expensive!  We pay $525.00 plus electricity, and the washers and dryers are 2 bucks each!  Ouch!  And, we get the distinct feeling that we are on the wrong side of the tracks.  It is obvious!  It reminds me of the Carol Burnett sketch where she is the flight attendant on a commercial airline, and Harvey Corman is an upper crust rich guy in first class, and Tim Conway is John Doe   in coach.  I am certain that you, dear Reader, can imagine the hilarious antics that that famous  threesome could enact given that set-up!  Somehow I feel a bit like Tim Conway!  Maybe it is just me, probably is.  It does come to mind though!  Each day, every minute,

That said, I am enjoying our stay here in this park!  Would I recommend it?  Certainly, but only to wealthy  strangers to whom appearances mean everything .

Now that I having said that, Lance disagrees.  He doesn't give it a thought and thinks that we with smaller rigs, are parked far fromt he office to give the impression that they are  very full and have a busy park.  Maybe somewhere in between  is where the truth lies.  Probably is.
