    Everything was great EXCEPT for wifi which was terrible. RV parks cannot seem to provide a reasonable wifi experience to anyone and this campground falls into that same cohort. I would have rated the entire stay much higher is only you would provide decent wifi.

    Sorry you value wifi more than the camping.

    The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The facility was very nice, youvant beat the views! My kids loved the playground. The food from the Cook Shack hit the spot. We stayed in a tent cabin and it was the perfect camp spot. The rocking chair and the area beneath the tree by the picnic table and fire pit were shaded at all the necessary times. Loved it!

    last minute one night stay for two families. Tent site T-30 and B31, both excellent sites with a view and shade. Wish they had a pool.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are at 8000 feet in the rockies, in a high desert environment. The only outdoor pools in the area are at the hot springs.

    I reserved a cabin in January and always ask for the closest to the bathroom. I don't feel they ever honor this type of request. Otherwise, awesome campground.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Please give us a call to reserve- you can add requests in online reservations but we don't always see those. If you talk to us we can work to get you into a preferred spot.

    Fantastic hosts (Dom and Helen) and the campground itself is spectacularly located with views in every direction. We've stayed in lots of KOA campground over the years but this was definitely one of the best!

    This was our first time camping and we didn't know what to expect. We stayed on T24, which had a direct view of the Collegiate Peaks. The site was quiet and peaceful. We brought our dog and she loved it too. Would definitely come back!

    Absolutely wonderful! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Campground/sites/bathrooms were very well maintained and the scenery was absolutely amazing. It was Rocky's first camping trip and was thoroughly spoiled by all of the staff. Thank you for making this stay the best ever!!

    Glad you enjoyed your stay- looking forward to seeing Rocky again (and his owners of course)!!!

    Beautiful views and the campsites are located so everyone gets a pretty view. Out of 3 weeks of staying in KOA's. this was our favorite. We did have such low water pressure we couldn't take showers in our RV but I am sure they will fix the problem.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are working on the water pressure!

    The negatives; Very tight to turn in certain areas for our 36' Motor home. Wi-Fi is very,very,poor. Our site had no privacy. No DVD rentals available. The positives; Staff were nice and accommodating. Sites were clean. Most sites had excellent views.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    On Memorial day weekend when you stayed the park was full, which impacts privacy and everyone using the wi-fi impacts performance. We got you into your site without issue, but you decided to move the motorhome the other direction, which makes for tight turns.
    May 30, 2017
    Nice place, the only thing we found there wasn't enough going on for our grandkids for the memorial day weekend, that part was poor.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    In the past we've had very limited participation on kid events- but we'll consider doing some more!
    May 30, 2017
    The campground was clean and inviting. Everyone was very friendly. There was lots for kids to do and even had a pet park. The spaces were large and long. The only thing I would say as an opportunity would be to flatten the areas where the picnic tables are in the pull throughs (P areas) as it is hard to find a flat spot to sit in a chair in some of the areas.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We've been working on grading the parking pads, and looking at the picnic table spaces next. Thanks!
    May 30, 2017
    Very well kept, and for a commercial campground the sites were at least somewhat private and laid out well. The staff was attentive and friendly. The only minor complaint is that while I was able to connect to the wifi, I was not able to get to the Internet. I was busy with other things so I did not follow up for support. I would definitely stay here again.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Next time please let us know and we'll try to help. On busy weekends the performance can be poor due to so many people on it. We only get so much bandwidth in the mountains.

    This is a "camping" KOA. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It has such a "campground" feel. The view is beautiful! The hiking/bike trails are awesome. I'm not rating it on amenities or high class paved slots - if you want to camp this is your place!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you- we want to be a camping campground!

    Your campground is fine but we stayed in the teepee and hated it. Our reservation said we had a deluxe tent. We are seniors and we both tripped over the threshold to the tent going in and out. If you trip going out you would either go off the platform or crash into the railing. It seems very unsafe to us and the tent really gives you no protection. It was absolutely freezing that night!!!!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Very sorry you didn't like the teepee. We were full for Memorial Day and had no other place to move you too. And in late May at 8000 feet the weather can be chilly.
