Review of Tiger Run RV Resort and Memorial Park in Colorado

BDS Denver
Breckenridge is famous for its skiing, and it also has one of the greatest resorts in Tiger Run for RVs. Memorial Park is another fantastic family location in Colorado.

The manager at Tiger Run calls the resort "its own little town," and this is not an exaggeration. With roughly 400 sites (70% of which are available to overnighters), tennis courts, indoor swimming pools, a recreation building with TV rooms and pool tables, laundry facilities, double-wide parking spaces, and chalet-style cabins on nearly each RV site, as well as incredible landscaping (lawns, trees, and brick walks), this resort feels more like a quiet suburban neighborhood than an overnight RV park. RVers who wish to use this resort as a travel park (as opposed to buying property) should speak to the manager about which sites are available, as some are privately owned or up for sale. Sites 122-129 and 147-151 are closest to the lake, while 1-7, 129-147, 204-243, and 345-367 are riverside sites. For those who like proximity to the facilities, sites 16-39 and 275-291 are closest to the recreation building. This is a top-notch RV park that deserves the title resort. To get there from Highway 70 Exit 203, turn south onto Highway 9 and go 6.3 miles. Turn left at the sign onto the entrance (past MM 91) and turn left into the office complex.

A city park set in an urban environment with industrial and commercial lots around the perimeter, Memorial Park tries its best to present a comfortable stay to Brush visitors. Grassy areas and a cute schoolhouse definitely add to the attractiveness of the park, and visitors here should feel rather comfortable, especially knowing the first night is free. The sites are somewhat undistinguished, and can number more than the electrical boxes that dot the parking area, depending on how people park. There are rows of seemingly just 3-6 sites each, but the city employees who tend to the RV park insist that there are 50 possible sites. The south side of the park is conducive to pull-alongside sites, while the north is better suited to back-ins. The south side is slightly more industrial, and therefore less visibly attractive. All sites are located on the gravel interior road and do not have a picnic area in their immediate vicinity. Tenters can camp on the lush grass or the crushed gravel tent pads located at the entrance to the RV park. The facilities are city park-clean, and the shower is enormous. There are all open, lacking curtains or dividers of any kind. Overall, this is a rather comfortable city park. To get there from Highway I-76 (Exit 90-A), turn south onto Highway 1 and go .75 mi. Turn right onto Highway 34, then take the first left onto Clayton. Go .4 mi. Turn right at the sign of the entrance.
