Tent Reviews

Jul 07, 2024
The campgrounds are great, the people are great, super clean, there are two things that kept me from giving a higher rating. 1) Unless you want to drive a long way to go on adventures each day the area is remote enough that you’re stuck. 2) The only bathrooms are a LONG way from the tent sites in the middle of the night. A second bathroom, even a vault or portable toilet, would be a lot better.

Thanks for the review, Jason. We pride ourselves on our pristine, quiet, remote location, though we are only 5 miles from Cripple Creek. We have no desire to ever be the city suburb park; just a simple campground. Bathrooms are far from some sites due to bldg restrictions. Search for soln is ongoing

This was our first time at a KOA and the experience was wonderful. Beautiful views, a nice camp site and great service. And at the end of a long final day, when we were just too tired to cook, pizza delivered to our site was just what we needed! We'll definitely be back for more adventures in the area soon.

Wonderful KOA. Amazing staff and facilities are spotless. It is a beautiful spot and the staff goes out of its way to make you feel welcome. Great suggestions of activities and drives. I love the Cripple Creek area and have enjoyed both tent and cabin camping at this KOA. Book it, you will not regret it.

I loved my stay at KOA Cripple Creek. The ladies that got me checked in and made my pizza (which was really delicious) were so kind and helpful. The are is beautiful, I tent camped and it was nice private spots up in the woods so the spots were shade for most of the day. Would definitely stay here again :)

Loved everything about it. Clean showers/bathrooms. Welcoming people. Felt like a home away from home!

Staff was so friendly, and they obviously take great pride in having a wonderful camp. We stayed in the tent area and it was lovely and quiet. Great hike behind the camp. Everything was terrific.

This was the nicest KOA I've stayed at on this trip (about five so far) and really one of the nicest I've ever stayed at, maybe the nicest. Really clean and newer bathrooms and private shower rooms, well-maintained grounds, very friendly staff, beautiful and quiet setting... I chose a non-premium tent site in the trees and loved it! Quiet, private, & shaded! The premium sites were less private.

Cool location, staff were very pleasant and attentive. Also pretty cool that at over 10,000ft elevation, ot’s the “Highest KOA” too�����

Our first campground with a shower head in the shower, how much nicer to shower with it

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Wow, I didn't realize having a shower head was a luxury (we think it's a given), but I'm glad we made your stay in that way! Thank you for taking the time to post a review!

Great area with amazing staff! Friendly staff both on phone and in person. Everyone was very helpful. They asked what my plans were and they customized my information!

It was my first time being in the area in many years. I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism and the prompt service relating to any questions I had. Not only did I receive a confirmation phone call prior to arriving, but I was greeted warmly when I got there. I had a small issue with my site, but Deric literally dropped what he was doing to ensure my stay was great. Thanks KOA! CARLOS

Well maintained grounds. Close to Cripple Creek for those who enjoy casinos.

Yet far enough away from Cripple Creek to enjoy the majesty and beauty of the Rocky Mountains at 10,000 feet!

I absolutely love staying here

I would be happy to recommend KOA Cripple Creek to anyone who loves camping. The staff was great, the store was well stocked and reasonably priced, pizza was great, showers and restrooms always clean. BEAUTIFUL campground with BEAUTIFUL views

The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home! The facilities are very clean and the grounds are kept well. Having been to this KOA many times throughout the years, we’ve always felt very welcomed every time. We will always come back to our second home in the mountains.

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.

Awesome

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!

Beautiful views and very clean campsite, bathrooms, etc. Definitely recommend!!

The only problem was that there was not 24/7 access the the microwave oven. I brought a lot of frozen dinners from home thinking I could microwave them at any time. But with the office closed between 10 am and 2 pm I could not microwave a late breakfast or regular lunch when I wanted. I feel you should install another small microwave oven either in the outdoor kitchen area or near the bathrooms.

Thanks for the feedback, Paul. Office hours during the summer are 8am to 8pm, but we do shorten that when the season slows down.

Great stay. I love how you set up your primitive camping. Great views. Recommended the store staff stock gloves for hikers wanting to go all the way at Trachyte Knob.

Unfortunately the incoming weather coupled with a large dog who is afraid of thunder forced us to head home a day early. But the campground is well laid out, and the tent sites in trees are private and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again.

Very helpful, flexible, & informative staff. Good location. Very good tent pad. Covered table near parking spot very convenient & helpful vs. winds. Love the bright lights of the laundry room for reading & helpful that it stays open. Key pad for entry works better than most. Expensive site for a tent. Did have to clean off lots of bird poop on my table.

Easy to find and very friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. We had a primitive tent site up away from the RVs, in the trees and it was pretty private. Quiet at night when the road noise disappeared. We would definitely come back again!

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!!!

Excellent staff! Great stay!!

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.

This has to be the most well-maintained campground in the state. The paths and layout are clean and easy to access. Amenities are fantastic; we love the dog park and outdoor kitchen! The people working here are so friendly too. A special shout-out to the sweet lady greeting and leading people to their sites on her golf cart. You’re campground amazing and we can’t wait to come back!

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.

We've been to this KOA once before, as tent campers. Memorial Day weekend 2026 was the first time in a cabin. It was wonderful!! The cost is so reasonable. It is a short walk to the bathrooms (but not so close that you hear everyone else going to the bathroom). The staff is super helpful and friendly. The kids and I had another amazing time!!

The world's highest KOA was central to Teller county hotspots like Victor and Cripple Creek. Great service and amenities, plenty to keep kids busy! We used one of the 50 amp RV sites which were full hookup. Our Solitude 5th Wheel is pushing 40' and the spaces are tight but doable. Plenty of 5th wheels and diesel pushers on site while we were there. Would stay again!
