    All good but water tasted terrible.

    We are on a well, and we do treat the water but will see if there is another issue.

    We love the Buena Vista KOA! The owners are so welcoming & helpful, the grounds are beautiful, and the view of the Arkansas Valley and Collegiate Peaks is spectacular. It's been an annual tradition for us to kick off and close our camping season there, and now we're even spending weekends in between. We love the hiking trail, ice cream socials & prepackaged kids' art kits in the store.

    Thanks for staying- look forward to seeing you again!

    Good but didn't realize they would not accept the May 11 book one night next night $20.00. Would not have booked so many nights if knew that in advance. Very upsetting!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We do participate in the $20 promotion for Care Camps, but not on cabins, RV and tent sites only.

    The owners were very accommodating and friendly. My family enjoyed the stay and will definitely be back.

    I liked that the sites were sand and not rock. I also liked the spot we had next to the playground for my daughter. I would recommend better signage at the highway to direct people into the campground. We came in at night and it is not lit or marked and is actually hard to see as you come around the corner.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We'll work on better lighting for the sign. We are in a "dark skies" area and lights that shine up are somewhat restricted.

    It was nice and quiet. Not a lot of people staying there. place needs some upgrading of facilities but was clean. The FT Collins KOA had a sign saying coffee is free for a free will donation to a charity with a container for any size donations people wanted to make. $2.00 seemed a bit much for a cup of coffee unless it is at Starbucks. Most places we stayed at in the past had free coffee.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for staying. We are pretty quiet in the early season up until Memorial Day. We get our coffee from a local roaster and it is a better blend- they charge $3.50 at the roasters shop. We just put in a new electrical service to upgrade 11 sites, we are striving to upgrade things as we can afford them.

    Except for a lack of water issue everything was great. Nice managers, clean grounds and restrooms. Wow what a view!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We turn the water on in stages, very weather dependent in the early season. Thanks for staying with us!

    The campground is adequate for a quick stay, close to mountain bike/hiking trails and town. Staff was friendly and check in was easy. The bathrooms didn’t have locks or a code to get in/out- this KOA needs security on that. The facilities were clean enough but my husband said the men’s bathroom had a broken door and other various issues. Probably wouldn’t stay again, wasn’t worth the money

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are putting code locks on our bathrooms within the next few days. We found out about the broken stall door when we went in to clean the bathroom Sunday morning, and fixed it immediately. We appreciate it when guests let us know about issues so we can fix them.

    Great views, facilities and owners. We felt right at home as soon as we got there. Everything was very clean and the ping pong table was a blast even though I lost. Overall a great KOA!

    We are in a high desert environment- sand is what we have.

    We love this campground. usually prefer the sites up on the hill but it was early in the season this time so water was sketchy and we stayed on the lower level. Still loved it. Owners are great. We'll be back !!

    It was cold and the water pipe froze on the first morning so no water. Probably should have a warming wrap around the pipe until the weather gets consistently warm. Otherwise great camp.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We advise folks to turn off the water if it's going to be freezing, but we didn't expect to get as cold that first night
