    Well, not really as I know it is still there. But, I was looking for the latest reviews of the campground in Olathe, CO and they aren't listed. Do the campgrounds have to pay a fee in order to be listed on this site, or...???

    I checked Colorado and don't see Olathe as one of the cities. Is that where your campground is?

    The only campgrounds you will find on this site are those for which campers have submitted reviews. If you don't see a campground here it's because nobody has put a review in the database.

    Abbygolden,

    Sometimes a campground will appear to be in one city when its official address is in another. This site goes by the official address when placing a park under a city. Try looking for your lost campground under the names of any towns that are close to Olathe. You didn't mention the name of the campground. There are quite a few cg's listed in Montrose. Maybe the one you want is listed there. A Google search found an Uncompahgre River RV Park in Olathe, but there does not seem to be a review for it on this site. As Denali said I guess no one has ever sent in a review for it. If you stay there, you could be the first. Sorry we can't help more.

    Yep, it's 10 miles north of Montrose (western CO) and about 50 miles south of Grand Junction.

    I understand that. But the last time I looked at it (earlier this week), there were still several rating from last year. The CG was rated several times last year, including one from me.

    It doesn't bother me if it isn't on this site because the fewer people who know about, the better!
    It's one of the best places I've ever stayed.

    Hi Abby,

    What is the name of this "paragon" of campgrounds?

    Abbygolden,

    Wait a minute! I'm getting a different slant on this now. You're saying that the campground you are looking for had reviews on this site earlier this week and now they have disappeared. Is that correct? You did not say that at first, and I don't think any of us who tried to help you understood that. It is one thing to say you can't find a review on this site. That probably means no one has reviewed the place. It is another thing to say there were reviews for the campground and that they disappeared. That concerns me. I know that occasionally we find that a park is listed under the wrong city. In that case it (and its reviews) will be moved to the correct city. I do not know if this is the case with your park, but I do know we could get to the bottom of this a lot easier if we knew the name of the park.

    If I told ya, I'd have to kill ya! (Uncompahgre River RV Resort). But I will tell you it is one of the controversial types of CGs - 55+.

    Sorry that my post wasn't more specific. Olathe, CO has been listed as a town in CO that has a CG for as long as I have been on this forum, most probably much longer. For some reason, it's now gone. I checked the closest two towns (Delta and Montrose) and it isn't there.

    They once were lost, but now they're found. Check the new listings.

    Thanks to the webmaster.

    Sid,

    For future reference you will probably get more replies if you start a new thread when you change the topic. If you tack your question onto an unrelated topic it may not be seen and/or answered.

    Amazing, Grace! (Ok, sorry for the pun). Thanks for putting it back on the rating rota.
