Campground Reviews

Stay was nice, not all staff are friendly and could use a refresher in customer service and politeness. Sites were good, area is great. Will be there again.

This was our first time in Cripple Creek and we will definitely go back to this KOA! Very friendly staff. Ordered pizza one night that they deliver to your camp site. We enjoyed the beautiful views. Dogs loved it too.

Simple campground with beautiful, open views. Easy access to Cripple Creek, Victor, Woodland Park, etc. Deluxe cabin was very nice and clean. I wish there was more for kids but there are several playgrounds they can run around.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

2 playgrounds, play train, gaga ball, volleyball, basketball, pedal carts, horseshoes, cornhole, board games to borrow, all kinds of balls we loan out, hundreds of kids' shows on DVD, the great outdoors. What more would you suggest for kids?

The staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. The grounds and buildings were very clean. I would highly recommend staying there. Lots too do in the area.

Wonderful campground! Fully stocked store with reasonable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and modern restrooms and showers. Best part was the pizza & chicken wings that we can order and have delivered to our site! Pizza was delicious! By far the best, well run KOA we’ve stayed at. We’ll be back!

The amenities are fantastic, well kept, clean, and inviting. The morning coffee and the Saturday pancake breakfast are great to have. The evening pizza order was also neat. Had a chance to talk quickly with the owner and it's clear that he values providing a good camping experience for his guests. The staff, who are also happy and friendly, reflect that this is a well-run KOA.

Nice chatting with you, David. Thank you for the flattering review! Your observation is correct: we are all happy to be here, sharing our beautiful mountain getaway with as many guests as we can. Hope to see you again soon!

We're seasoned KOA Kampers, but this was our first time visiting this KOA. We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location on the side of a mountain gives amazing views. Spacious Kamp K9. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Awesome, Jacob. Thank you!

NEVER have we been treated so rudely! Traveling across the country and arrived 35 minutes before they would allow us to check in. We were asked to Leave the property until check in time. This koa is in the middle of nowhere!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our policies and rules are in place for the comfort and safety of all our guests, as well as our employees. These policies are documented in multiple ways, but we also give you a phone call before your arrival reminding you. You disrespect that? Not sorry, we do what we say. Rude? I think not.

After traveling hard all day, we arrived 15 minutes before 2. They sent us away. We couldn’t even wait the last few minutes waiting there. We were stunned at how unwelcoming they were.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

"All Day"... until 1:30pm. At least you had your travelling companions to commiserate with, although odd to me that they say they arrived 20 minutes before you. If you read all those other reviews from folks who respect our staff and policies, you may observe that they felt quite welcome.

friendly staff, clean and well maintained bath house. nice campground with the relax area and nice view
Jul 23, 2023
I'm always pleased when I stay here, whether I'm with my wife or on my own, as I was this time. The staff is so friendly and professional, and there are so many conveniences it's almost not like camping at all. The area is one of my favorites in Colorado. The scenic beauty, cooler temperatures, serene quiet and so many things to do nearby make vacations here memorable. It's a home away from home.

Welcome home (away from home), Todd!

Very clean campground. Grounds are well keep. Homemade pizza available and delivered free. Altitude can be brutal for some and weather can suddenly change so always be aware. I purchased a small bottle of oxygen from the office/store which helped tremendously for me. Bring some blocking for leveling your RV unit as the sites are on the side of a hill and you might do some tweaking.

The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The dog park was large with lots of room for dogs of all sizes to stretch their legs. Showers and bathrooms were super clean. Gift store was stocked with all sorts of goodies. We arrived very late and found our information easily available. We highly recommend staying here.
Jul 22, 2023
Clean, quiet, beautiful site, and the pizza was great!

Wish the sites were a bit longer and wider as getting in and out of our travel trailer was difficult on the drop down terrain. Very friendly folks and yummy pizza!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Things are a bit tight given the campground was built for big rigs of the 90's. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Jul 22, 2023
The RV sites are too close together and makes it difficult for big rigs to pull in and out of the sites

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our sites are all about 30x60 but were built for big-rigs of the 90s. It does take some care to navigate the roads and get into your site, but thousands of large rigs have come and gone with no issues. Unfortunate that is all you took away from our beautiful mountain getaway.

We had a wonderful spot right next to the office, so we didn't have to walk too far for all of the activities that they had to offer. The staff there were helpful, wise & funny! The office had a huge gift shop. They make pizzas & pancakes & bacon/sausage in the morning rec room. There are table games & 2 free arcade games. There are 7 washers & 7 dryers. There are two hot tub/jacuzzies indoors. A+

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I believe you may be reviewing a different campground as there are some n/a items on your list of amenities. Hope you had as great a time with us!
Jul 22, 2023
Thought it was ridiculous we could not check in before 2 pm when we showed up early and our spot was open. We were told to come back at 2 and drive back to town. So we sat on the road for and hour and a half waiting.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We can not accommodate early check ins. We advise of that fact on our website, via email, & via a direct phone call to you within 48 hours of your arrival. Please suggest how we might better communicate to enable you to respect our policies, which do benefit all of our guests.

We enjoyed the stay. The altitude is 10k ft but the do have oxygen canisters if needed for people like me who live in FL at 5 ft altitude! The views are beautiful. Very clean restrooms and showers (at no charge). No need for quarters! My grandson loved the go carts. Great staff!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Glad you enjoyed your stay in spite of the altitude, Alice! The effects should not be taken for granted as some folks can become ill from the limited oxygen at 10,000 ft.

We were there for both recreation and my husband working from the camper. WiFi was good, our dog enjoyed the dog park. Temperatures were beautiful, clean bathroom and shower rooms. The pizza we ordered was delicious! Staff members all very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Very clean and well maintained camp grounds.

The camp ground was quiet after the sun went down. That makes for a pleasant stay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Loved the location, staff was super friendly, and the campground was maintained very nicely!
Jul 17, 2023
Staff was so nice and helpful!! The KOA itself is very well kept up. Can’t wait to go back again. We had our 80 yr old in laws with us and they LOVED everything about their stay there.
Jul 17, 2023
The stay was amazing, i have never been to a KOA before. The spot was very clean and the staff was amazing, one staff member even went out of her way to round me up an onion to make our dinner complete. I would highly recommend this KOA if your in the area.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Glad we were able to make your dinner complete, Richard!

This has to be the best KOA that we stayed at on our trip. The kindness and hospitality that was shown to us was more than we could have ever asked for. They welcomed us with open arms and treated us with the utmost respect. The campground was beautiful and clean. I can't wait to return and see the smiling faces that welcomed us on our journey!!!

Wonderful staff and a beautiful place to stay. Just had to learn how to breathe that high up.

It is a great tent site. As with all KOA's staff is friendly. The grounds are spotless and well kept.

Best motorcycle road to a KOA.

Mountains are fun on a bike, aren't they?

Our family rented a deluxe cabin at the Cripple Creek KOA. Our cabin was so cute, very rustic, and had amazing views. The staff is great! All of our needs were met and exceeded all expectations. We are already talking about coming back again. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad you had a great time, Allison, and hope to see you again soon!

The owner or a manager of the KOA told us that we got two nights free because we went to visit a friend and there was a payment issue which we had no problem paying. It was totally uncalled for to insinuate that we were getting free stay when out camper was still at the campsite. We are very honest people and would never think of cheating anyone out of money.I expected to not be judged so negative

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I'm sorry that is your your impression. However, your camper occupied a site for 2 days unpaid. Your payment method on file was declined. You did not return calls we made attempting to reconcile. In Colorado, that is known as "theft of services".
Jul 13, 2023
Excellent staff! Great stay!!
Jul 13, 2023
Overbearing staff...as every very move I made was under their watchful eye of staff..as if I was a delinquent child about to cause destruction and mayhem. Alway buzzing/speeding about on golf cards as if there was a never ending emergency, Felt more like a penial colony than a relaxing park. I like children and pets but not continuingly running through my site. Never again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Overbearing staff or entitled guest? You arrived at 10, said you knew check in was 2, stayed onsite anyway. You were ASKED to wait offsite. You blew thru a stop sign on road separating our playgrounds, with kids present. You were ASKED to be safe. Complaining abt employees doing their jobs? Hm...

Groups should be out away from other campers. Noise levels were unacceptable, ruined Saturday afternoon nap. Rules for bears and trash need to be enforced.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am and are strictly enforced. If you had unreasonable noise during the day we may have been able to help, but we are a family campground and encourage daytime outdoor family fun. We certainly enforce trash pickup, but the bears just don't understand so it's up to us humans.
Jul 12, 2023
The park was good. The sites were very small for a big rig. Outside the rig were very un level and we could not have used our chairs comfortably. I'm not trying to be a wet blanket.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review, Brad. Our sites are all about 30'x60' but being built on the side of a hill, grassy areas may be sloped. We typically suggest you park your tow vehicle on the main road when you have a big rig to give you more room on your site. Apologies if you weren't given that info on ckin

The tent sites are the best! We love that they are in the trees instead of out in a field. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We will definitely recommend this KOA to our friends.

We've stayed here twice and the customer service is always great. They do serve pizzas and pancakes and that's a very nice. The owner is really friendly and committed to campers enjoying their stays. Views are very nice. The only drawback is that the sites are breast to each other and unshaded. Location is awesome as a hiking basecamp.

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.
