Glen Echo Resort, Cabins & Camping
970-881-2208
Open all year from 8am - 8pm. In the heart of Roosevelt National Forest, quiet Glen Echo Resort is on the beautiful Poudre River, Colorado's "trout route." Choose among modern cottages with full kitchens and baths, rustic cabins with kitchens and shared bathroom-shower facilities or family mountain homes with large living rooms and everything but food. All cottages have dishes, cooking supplies, bedding and linens. Several cabins have decks overlooking the Cache La Poudre River where you and your family can relax while listening to the water's murmur.
- In addition to the cabins there are level, shaded, full hookups (20 & 30 amps) sites with picnic tables and concrete pads and patios; most have barbecue grills. Tall mature pine trees and a lawn with attractive flower beds abound this landscaped resort.
- There are five tent sites.
Cross the bridge to our island where you will find a picnic area beside the river.
- Amenities include a restaurant, a NEW lounge with music on some summer weekends, laundromat, picnic pavilion and a general store with fly fishing and tackle, picnic supplies, sporting goods, groceries, video rentals and gasoline. The gift shop has a wide variety of T-shirts, Indian Jewelry. At this time our resort does not have internet access, sorry for the inconvenience.
The restaurant features classic American fare (a burger and fries joint) featuring burrito's on Tuesday nights and fish on Friday nights with a full bar service. Whether you stay here or you are exploring the Canyon on a day trip - a stop at Glen Echo will fill the tummy and give you a chance to stretch your legs!
- Glen Echo sports a playground and horseshoes. Enjoy fishing on Colorado's only designated Wild and Scenic river near your cabin. Hike the stunning Comanche Peak Wilderness in the Mummy Mountain Range, the Rawah Wilderness or the Neota Flat Tops Wilderness.
