Platte River Fort Resort & Event Center - Greeley, Colorado

Mariel Hansen

We just had a weekend-long family reunion at The Fort and I was extremely impressed overall. From the beginning, Kindra and the rest of the staff were such a joy to work with. They were thorough, responsive, and so helpful in getting us set up!

The venue itself is stunning and the views are unbeatable! Nothing like spending the day near the river, watching the longhorns, exploring, and ending the day with stunning sunsets. The kitchen was so well stocked and we had everything we needed to prepare meals for our large family! There’s plenty of space for everyone to lounge, play, visit, and relax. You really get more than your monies worth staying here!

Thank you for hosting us for such an amazing weekend!

While planning our company retreat and figuring out the logistics Kendra Main and her staff at Platte River Fort were incredibly helpful and timely to respond. Answering all of our questions, providing detailed video tours so we understood the layout of the rooms and could plan our 2 day, 3 night retreat. They even reached out the day before knowing we would have a snowstorm and for the safety of our colleagues offered the rooms that we had not booked for that first night free, so that all of our colleagues could arrive safely and enjoy our Nourishing retreat. That is service that goes above and beyond and we are incredibly grateful!

Overall this was the perfect spot to host a comfortable, relaxed and nourishing retreat. We loved having the separate spaces for our colleagues to spread out and have group discussions, have quiet time in the morning for coffee and look out at the beautiful scenery, sit by the fireplace for evening chats. Our team of 14 was able to configure each living space to meet our needs and still have a wonderful view and cozy feeling.

Wow! This place was incredible! We had a family reunion here and I can't imagine a better location to host it! We had family come in from all over the US and it was wonderful having a place that we could all stay onsite! With the large indoor areas, along with the courtyard and grassy areas with gorgeous views - there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and play. The Platte River Fort Staff were all very kind and helpful and great with communication. I could not reccommend it more for hosting a family reunion, wedding, or other events.

The Platte River Fort always amazes me! I have had several events there and they always exceed expectations. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and well-kept; very elegant but super comfortable and welcoming. The staff are exceptional and very accommodating. Cindy is always my bestie event planner - she could not be more helpful and flexible! Chuck always is there to assist with anything needed, and offers to help above and beyond! Brandy, Kendra, and Hannah are always very friendly and helpful for the guests.

Rooms are super nice - especially the suites inside the Fort - and having use of the living and kitchen/dining areas makes things so very handy!

People who have never been to The Fort are always very surprised that this kind of place is right here in Greeley!

Our first attempt to camp at the Platte River Fort was in the fall of 2021. Unfortunately, my entire family came down with COVID and we lost my father and aunt within two weeks of each other. As they were hospitalized during the time we had booked, we had no choice but to cancel our reservation to focus on their health, and our own. Management was so kind and were willing to work with us, allowing us to cancel the reservation and reimbursed us the money, even though that was outside of their cancelation policy.
We finally were able to camp there last summer and had the very best experience! Very nice, clean and well maintained camp sites and we had a fabulous time just floating the river. We are scheduled to return for a family camping trip next weekend and plan to enjoy this campground for many camping trips to come.

On behalf of myself and my family, we can not say thank you enough for creating such fun place to retreat to and a HUGE thank you to the wonderful staff!

I had my wedding here this past weekend and to say this venue cares about your day is the farthest thing from the truth. They do the bare minimum and then charge you an insane amount and then slowly as you start planning more things get tacked on the bill. My ceremony was suppose to be in the court yard ( with months advance notice) and they let multiple snow storms of snow accumulate without cleaning it off. Then, three days before my wedding they told me that the site was a liability due to poor grounds keeping on their end. The crazy thing about this “liability issue” was this is where the restrooms were located so my guests were already having to walk in the area. So within a few days of my wedding I was having to panic and scramble and give up what I wanted for my wedding. They completely over charge for their bar and then tack on a 20% gratuity and then have the nerve to have their bartenders set out their own tip jars that don’t contribute to the 20% automatically already charged. After paying an insane amount + deposit they then send a bill for “ damages” to an ottoman but provide no photo evidence or proof just a bill stating it needs paid. I am highly disgusted and disappointed in this venue. They are money hungry and don’t care about their clients. I have been here for weddings in years past and the old owners were much better. I highly encourage all brides to look elsewhere for their day.

We had a family reunion over the weekend at this venue where 50+ of us gathered, cooked meals and spent some family time together. The kitchen has a huge fridge and a huge freezer, along with a great gas cooktop along with a pretty good set of tools (pots and pans, cooking utensils, a crockpot, a roaster, a few toasters to list a few).

The view is absolutely gorgeous, and the dining area was spacious. There are lot of areas to sit down and hang out inside and out. There is a big fire pit where we sat around the fire and made s’mores, which delighted all the kids and the kids at heart 🙂

The only negative feedback is that there were lots of flies that we had to deal with, as this venue is located near pastures where they keep cows and other animals. (Again, beautiful pastoral landscape!). Otherwise, I would have give. 5 stars instead of 4.

This place is a nice getaway and served up much more than I was expecting overall. I rented a family yurt for me and a friend and they're placed neatly along the river. The fire pit also even had a nice little tinder and log pile prepared upon arrival to help supplement my own. The river was low and actually quite warm considering that we rented this back in late September. They even gave us the combo to the tubes and we did some mild lazy river like tubing. I would definitely come back to this location or recommend it for people looking for a getaway but also trying to stay closer to the city for convienences or activities.
