    The best KOA and staff!

    Poor internet Poor outdoor lighting

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for the feedback. We are a remote mountain getaway and city services are very limited. Our internet service is the best available given our location. Similarly, we don't want to introduce a lot of artificial light which would interfere with the great stargazing. Working hard to remain a campground and NOT become another city suburb RV park. Camping is not for everyone.

    Very private camp site. loved the location. very friendly and helpful staff.
    Oct 09, 2018
    The campground had beautiful vistas of the mountains and the aspens. We were a comfortable drive away from Garden of the Gods and other places to visit near Colorado Springs. The owners were also very helpful. We didn't have cell phone reception on our plan but they allowed us to use their phone to contact our friends. We have friends in the area so the campground was very convenient.

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    This was our second time staying here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. We stay in he camping cabins and they are always very clean. The bathroom and showers are also very clean! We will be back next year and may try rustic campground area too when its a little warmer!.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks! See you next season.

    Not much to do. WiFi weak.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Hmmm, there are plenty of recreational activities on the campground and a TON of tourism and outdoor activities in the area. Hey, how bout that view!? Wifi is as good as we can get in our remote location. Not really sure what kind of entertainment you expect when CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS, but seems you would be better off staying in the city next time.
    Oct 07, 2018
    We love it! The cabins are very homey and clean with comfortable mattresses on the beds. Primitive tent sites are large and surrounded with trees. Bath house is very clean. Many fun activities for families! We visit here often!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We'll see you next season!

    Beautiful setting at 10000 ft! Staff was great and extremely friendly. Everything looked clean and new. The cabin was great and the main building had clean shower/bathroom- just immaculate. I want to stay here again in the future!

    Thank you!

    Perhaps the best KOA in CO, & I’ve stayed in KOAs all over CO for 30+ yrs. Top staff are consummate professionals. Very clean & better materials/equipment in common areas such as bathrooms. Laundry room open all night, providing the best reading light of any KOA. Very convenient, scenic location.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for the kind words. We're glad we could provide what you want from a KOA!

    Always a great stay

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Glad you were able to make it back up again this season! See you next year.

    Second stay at this park in just over two years and we were not disappointed. The people are friendly, quick to give you info on the area sites and events and they bend over backwards to make your stay the best they possibly can. Would recommend to anyone traveling near this area and would definitely go back if the opportunity arises.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks, and come on back the next time you need to escape that Georgia heat!
    Oct 02, 2018
    We stayed 2 nights. The park is located where you can drive to numerous places. A good dog area.

    The cabin was cute and comfortable. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Only thing was our view was blocked on one side by big storage containers. Overall 4.9 stars.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Yeah, you only get 2 sides of awesome views from the couples cabin. Part of the draw is that it is separate from the majority of the campground and private. Thanks for the review and glad that didn't ruin your whole stay! :)
    Oct 01, 2018
    We really enjoyed the campground and would recommend this KOA. The facilities were extremely clean, the spots were laid out nice and the views were spectacular. The camp hosts and employees were so nice and helpful. We will definitely camp here again!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks, and see you next time around!

    Way to windy, and expensive for this time of year, the store was only open a couple of times a day. I am finding all of your KOA are expensive for this time of year.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Yes, it can get windy in the Colorado mountains. You can expect a high level of service, security, and cleanliness at KOA and there is a cost related to that. Our pricing is competitive with similar campgrounds in Colorado with comparable features and amenities. We'll be happy to direct you to the non-KOA down the road next time you come through. You may want to lock your tent zipper there though.

    My brother and I spent 2 nights in one of the self contained cabins. It was clean. The hosts were polite and helpful! We enjoyed the view from the deck and driving through the surrounding country. The hosts suggested drives we would like and and did! Definitely a place I would stay again!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Glad you enjoyed our mountain getaway and the amazing sites surrounding us!
    Sep 28, 2018
    Beautiful place to stay, especially in September. Quiet, clean, and highly recommend. We'll be back.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Pretty quiet here in September, isn't it? Fortunately the weather was awesome for your stay and the aspen leaf change was at full power. Thanks for coming, and see you next time!
    Sep 26, 2018
    Its not a bad place. But much better were available in the area. Does not have very much to offer compared to other KOA sites we have visited. Again, its not a bad place but I would not choose to stay here again.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Not much to offer except for 2 playgrounds, a playroom, pedal karts, volleyball and basketball court (sand), horseshoes, and an amazing hike out our back gate and plenty of space for kids to play. How bout the views? Our area boasts a huge amount of gold-mining history as well as endless outdoor activities. No amusement park nor city amenities here; we're about the camping!
    Sep 25, 2018
    Didn’t have power and couldn’t run RV without running own generator.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    There is nothing wrong with our electrical systems as evidenced by the 4999 other campers this season that have had no issues. As I showed you with the electrical meter, the site service was fine. Your Berkshire rig is 100 amp so your issue is likely self-imposed. Since you were so complimentary when here, it's disappointing that is the only thing you care to review.

    This campground was the best we've ever stayed at! Great facilities, amazing location, great hiking, great camping options (tent, cabiin, RV) and just overall a wonderful experience for our family.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Glad you enjoyed the cabin and our campground!
    Sep 24, 2018
    This place was great! Such a well maintained campground and friendly hosts! We had to leave early because we had water troubles w our new RV and they refunded us our last day! Thanks guys! We’ll be back for sure!!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks; see you soon!
    Sep 24, 2018
    The camp ground and cabin were very clean and well maintained. The Camp Kitchen was nice, but small. The wind was a factor and I imagine that it is a factor most of the time. It would be nice to have more wind breaks.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for the review! Since we're on a high mountain plain, you are correct that it is quite windy up here much of the time. One of the best things we offer is our amazing views... keep in mind that wind blocks would also be view blocks. :)
    Sep 23, 2018
    Very thankful for the one room cabins which allow cats. Everyone at this location is friendly, professional and goes out of their way to accommodate you. The cleanest KOA Ive visited, Cabins, shared facilities etc all spotless

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for staying with us while waiting for your house closing. Glad you enjoyed it!
    Sep 23, 2018
    Nice, clean, well kept campground. We were there in mid September so campground was only maybe 1/4 to 1/3 full. Nice view and fall colors were spectacular, great sunsets too. Lots of history in the area (Victor) and also hiking opportunities.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks! Your timing was great: midweek, no crowds; peak of the aspen change; amazingly warm weather!
    Sep 22, 2018
    This KOA has the best owners. Deric and Terri were very accommodating. Cleanest campground we ever visited. We will definitely return.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for the great compliments! We work hard to provide the best experience we can. Glad you were able to visit!
    Sep 22, 2018
    Loved this campground, especially the breath-taking views and super helpful staff. Very well maintained campground with lots of obvious effort to make the campground world-class. Appreciated the large dog run a lot.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you!
    Sep 22, 2018
    The owners Terri and Deric have a nice place and take pride in their KOA!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We think it's pretty nice too, and we do take pride in our little getaway. Thanks for noticing, and glad you enjoyed it!

    The camp is nice, but they did have trouble with their wifi. Also there is a shooting range just down the road that disturbed Friday afternoons peace fullness.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for the review, and glad these issues didn't detract too much from your enjoyment of our campground. Unfortunately part of the price for beautiful mountain living includes limited infrastructure options and unique neighbors. We did manage to score a new ISP this year, now working on internal upgrades so will continue to improve. On the positive side, there are no train tracks nearby. :)
    Sep 21, 2018
    Very nice campground. Fantastic views. Will stay again!!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Excellent! See you next time!
    Sep 20, 2018
    Clean. Friendly. Accommodating. We had problems with one of our truck tires and the staff lent us a floor jack. That really helped!! Very clean showers with lots of hot water!!

    This campground is absolutely beautiful, and in a great setting. The owners and staff are meticulous at keeping the sites pristine. The location adds to the attractiveness, with a mountain directly behind the campground, and a trail accessible to the peak, with amazing views.

    Glad you enjoyed our mountain getaway!

    The park is very nice but needs a few changes. My trailer is 44 feet long. We barely got in and out of our slots without running over the fire ring, picnic ring, wooden border/sewer cover/hydrant or hitting a neighbor. The slots need to be wider and longer and the access road between rigs wider. Need lit signs showing the site numbers for each row at night. Loved the view, location and dog park.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Well we are an RV park and your trailer is a horse trailer with axles much further to the rear than most camping trailers. While it is tight, we've had plenty of 45 ft 5th wheels in n out with no problem. Built on the side of a hill, we don't have much opportunity to make the changes you suggest we "need". Don't appreciate the broken light, trash, wood chips, nor sewage you left with us either.
