Has anyone ever either camped or WK at Fun Valley Family Resort, South Fork CO. From what we have seen on pics it looks really nice. And my DW just reminded me that when we were traveling along Wolf Pass she saw this CG and wondered what it would be like and that was back in 91. Gawd what a memory.
