From 2023 through 2025, Larimer County Department of Natural Resources (LCDNR) conducted "Rate Your Day," a visitor satisfaction survey designed to capture how people experience Larimer County's parks, open spaces, campgrounds, and trails. Over three seasons, more than 2,200 visitors shared their feedback, offering a candid and valuable look at what's working and where there's room to grow.

While Rate Your Day is on hiatus in 2026, visitors are always welcome to send feedback to [email protected].

About the survey

Conducted each year from June through October, the survey featured three questions and took about two minutes to complete. It was distributed through QR codes on posters, flyers, and signage at trailheads, campgrounds, and visitor centers, as well as through social media and post-visit emails to campers.
