Escape the heat in cool Gunnison, where the average July high temperature is 80 degrees.

Escape the heat in cool Gunnison, where the average July high temperature is 80 degrees. From this campground southwest of town, you're just 10 minutes from Blue Mesa Reservoir and the 40-pound-plus trout that make this big, cold lake one of Colorado's top fishing holes. The rainbows in the KOA fishing pond (mid-June to mid-September) are a tad bit smaller. Cruise on a paddleboat (mid-June to mid-September). This KOA rents bikes and features an off-leash dog park. Hike, bike or go rafting in the area too. To the west, the sheer rock walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison plummet some 2,500 feet to the Gunnison River. Crested Butte, a 19th-century mining town surrounded by peaks, lies a half-hour's drive north. Keebler Pass provides some of the best autumn aspen color in the Rocky Mountains.

Camping has always been part of Dave and Susie Taylor's life. They share many fond memories of camping vacations with their two sons and daughter. So their decision to purchase the Gunnison KOA in March 2004 was a natural extension of a lifestyle they've always loved.

Both are originally from Chicago, but both went to college out West, and later settled in Denver. They've lived in Arizona and Denver, where Dave now owns a temporary labor company and Susie is a medical technologist during the campground's off-season.

They've always been tent-campers, Susie said, and spent several years visiting Dave's parents while they work camped at the Gunnison KOA. They liked the campground, and the former owners, and when it went on the market, they made the decision to buy it, even though they weren't quite ready for retirement. So Susie runs it while she takes a leave of absence, and Dave commutes on weekends.

"We very much enjoy working with the camping public," Susie said, adding that being respectful of all campers and greeting them by name adds a personal touch. "We truly enjoy making others happy. We greet them and make them feel like they're 'number one.' We want them to have a good time."

They take pride in the changes they've made to the campground, and keep the grounds lush and beautiful with flower displays.

Susie said family is very important to her and she has enjoyed being a Mom, though they're now in a transition stage, after their daughter graduated from college, and their son will enter college this fall. Dave enjoys hiking and also does triathlons and biathlons.
