We absolutely love this KOA. Great location for a lot of fun mountain activities. The owners and staff really go above and beyond for their guests. Problems are addressed swiftly and the property is incredibly well maintained. Peaceful and quiet. We come back every year.

My stay was amazing and I love every KOA I stay at. Only recommendation would be putting additional numbers by the road for those staying in primitive tent sites.

It was great! When the staff is proud of the good job they do, with good reason, then their guests/clients, regardless of the business, are very pleased and happy to return. That's the situation at Cripple Ck. It's the best KOA i've stayed with, and I've stayed at several. They deserve a universe of stars; not just 5. Thank you from both of us! We'll see you in August for VCTA plein aire!

Beautiful area. The KOA manager’s were the best.

We stayed here for 2 nights and were pleased with everything. The office staff was wonderful and gave us useful tips for navigating the area and heading toward our next destination. We were thrilled to be able to have pizza for dinner, made right there in the office, and delivered to our campsite. This was the most expensive KOA we stayed at during our trip, but we would certainly stay again.

Great stay! Quiet and dark. Full moon topped it off.

A very nice place to stay! The staff is so friendly, facilities are very clean, and my dogs really enjoyed having a large Camp K9. A great location for exploring Cripple Creek, Victor, and other sites in the area. Highly recommend.

This is an area we've been wanting to visit for years and were finally able to get in. We loved this park so much that we extended our stay. The park is well maintained, the staff is awesome and we can't wait for our next visit soon!!

Friendly staff. Checked on us the morning we were leaving to see if we had enjoyed our time. Nice facilities.

Stayed in a fully equipped cabin that was comfortable and roomy. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. Perfectly located with ample sites to see and hiking trails to visit. Would definitely recommend this KOA to all travelers.

Had a good weekend. The owner was a bit standoffish and eager for everyone to leave (last weekend of season). He didn't seem overly friendly. However, his staff was great. Campsites were pretty close together and there weren't any trees to speak of. For this trip that was ok since it was pretty cold all weekend and we welcomed the sun, but in summer, trees are so nice.

Sorry if I was aloof, Debra. Business does sometimes demand my attention. With breathtaking views all around, we're happy you can take that all in without trees blocking the view. Come back mid-summer when it's a blistering 75 degrees. I don't think you'll miss the shade. :)

Staff/owners were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location with well-maintained sites. Campers were quiet and respectful of rules (quiet hours, dogs on leash, etc.). It was the first KOA we ever stayed at and set a high standard for other we hope to visit next season.

A very beautiful place. The small local towns are really fun to explore and see all the old mining equipment. The local mine has a great tour to go down inside the mine and see how mining is done.

Very nice campground we arrived when the for fall aspen leaf change and it was a sight to see as we arrived at the campground. The staff was very knowledgeable\ about hiking trails and things to do in cripple creek. The bathrooms & showers were very clean and had plenty of hooks inside & outside of shower to hang your things. We will be back again next year.....

Very friendly staff. Beautiful well maintained campground. Amazing staff and owners. Many amenities that make it very enjoyable.

We loved this KOA but rated it 4 because our site was VERY unlevel and it was almost too short for the camper/vehicle and since we were not allowed to park on the grass it was a close fit. It would have been impossible to hook up when it was time to leave if the site in front of us had been occupied, but fortunately it was not, so we were able to pull into that space and then back up.

This commentary is perplexing. Site 160 parking pad is level, as is your fire/table area. You reserved 28 ft motor home, so not sure why the 60 ft long site was tight. Parking is 50 ft across the street from this site. There isn't a site directly across from 160 to pull into to get out. ?????

Beautiful well taken care of campground with lots of amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the off-leash dog area. The only issue we encountered, which in no part is the fault of the KOA, is there is a shooting club located next to the campground and one of our pups does not do well with loud sounds like gunfire and fireworks.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Poor pup! Fortunately shooting is intermittent, so hope you were able to relax when it was quiet.

We have been camping for many years. This KOA was one of the best we’ve ever been to. Friendly, helpfully, staff; very clean. Each site had grass, tables, fire pit. Was a great way for us to end our season. Have already booked next year! �

See you next season, Leah!

Very nice campground though nothing in the way of trees. Has a lot of nice features such as a kamp kitchen, dog runs, etc. Would also be nice if the tables at wach site were level.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our tent sites are in the trees, but we like the open valley view from our RV sites, particularly the stunning sunsets that you wouldn't see through the trees. Thanks for the review!

Wonderful staff! Mitzie (hope I spelled her name correctly) checked me in with a smile and reviewed the camp ground amenities and rules very well. Ruby was always up for a chat and was gracious and accommodating. Didnt get the gentleman’s name but he was also a pleasure to speak with. Lissa took care of check out after a wonderful week’s stay! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

elevation got me winded but very nice park. Got very chilly at night, got down to 29 degrees. We had a cabin but the "LITTLE" heater only kept the cabin at about 50 degrees. They need better heaters. staff was very friendly. good pancake breakfast.
Sep 29, 2023
Not only the highest KOA but the cleanest! The entire staff is professional and treat you like family. Awesome remote location. Been coming to this KOA since 2016. Don’t hesitate just book it!

Had great stay, will come back

The first time we stayed here, we had a front patio spot and had some good views and a lot of space. The second time we were further back and it seemed more like a parking lot with very little space and views because the other campers and cars blocked them. We didn't feel comfortable doing a fire because the pit was so close to our trailer and the trailer in front of us. The amenities are great.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our sites are about 30x60 on the side of a hill. Some can feel crowded if you have a big rig next door. Unfortunately we are not able to move our permanent utilities for you. You are able to select a specific site if it is available. I'll take a look at the fire ring on site 166.

KOA hosts had our cabin ready for us even though we made it in past open hours. Clean and beautiful campground!
Sep 26, 2023
Always a great time and super staff!! See you next year!

Nice out of the way place to Camp or cabin if you like to gamble. Not too close to other outdoor activities like fishing or hiking or Watersports

We love this high altitude escape from the city heat. Beautiful sunsets and great dog park. We love visiting the mountain towns in this area and exploring the mining ruins.

Beautiful location, very well kept. The owners are on site and very involved so your stay is drama free. No t.v. radio signal as it is between mountains. Best KOA thus far.
