Friendly staff. Very reasonable prices and the store had a lot of things available to purchase. The dog park was a nice feature since we brought our pup. We had a great time.

The staff at Cripple Creek make you feel like family they are incredible people. The camp ground is perched in a beautiful way with an attention to the area around. They have a really nice laundry and store with individual shower rooms that are very well maintained daily. I can’t wait to return to say hello again!

The bug situation is out of control. We couldn’t enjoy our time because we were constantly fighting off bugs, especially mosquitoes. We got several bites. Not really a fun time.

Are there no bugs outdoors in California, Jim? There are more mosquitos here this year due to the wet summer we've had, but you are tent camping. Welcome to the great outdoors!

Very clean, very friendly and I really appreciate having the reservation! I am used to non rv places though so I prefer more dispersed areas with trees and tents not so close together. But I would come back on a busy weekend if I can’t find other places. Also, I appreciate the firewood, the coffee and the dumpster. My friend liked the pizza delivery!

Hi Tracy. Glad you had a good time in a deluxe tent site. I invite you to come back and camp in one of our primitive sites up in the woods. They are pretty remote and with the trees, give you the privacy you would prefer.

We spent 6 nights on one of the tent sights with electric and water. This is my favorite KOA we've stayed at. It's clean, the staff are AMAZING, and views are beautiful. We will most definitely be staying here again.

It was fun. Friendly stuff and clean bathrooms
Jul 08, 2024
Everything was pretty good I just wish my campsite had electricity. Staff and amenities were great

Great location. Can be cool at night, but that makes coming up in the summer that much more enjoyable. Tent sites are isolated in the trees which give privacy and great views
Jul 08, 2024
Our main issue with the KOA was having the bathrooms and showers out of commission for 2 hours every day for cleaning. I understand that they need time to clean them but it was kind of inconvenient to have to plan around that time frame and hope that you didn’t need to use the facilities during said time period.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Bathrooms are rarely, if ever, closed for more than an hour, although we do message a 2 hr window in case an issue arises. I apologize for the inconvenience but I am certain our guests appreciate our spotless facilities!

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

Nice place. Very clean. Employees are friendly.
Jul 05, 2024
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 :)
Jul 02, 2024
Loved everything about it. Clean showers/bathrooms. Welcoming people. Felt like a home away from home!
Jun 30, 2024
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!
Jun 17, 2024
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.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Yet far enough away from Cripple Creek to enjoy the majesty and beauty of the Rocky Mountains at 10,000 feet!
Jun 12, 2024
I absolutely love staying here
Jun 04, 2024
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

Thank you for the glowing recommendation, Jodi! Thank you for taking the time to post a review.

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.
May 27, 2024
Awesome
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!

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.

Very clean campground inside and out!! Super nice staff and owner. Laundry room machines were clean and very reasonably priced. Bathrooms were well maintained, clean and smelled good. Lots to see in the area and this KOA is a definite place to stay, relax, and enjoy the quiet and the night stars.

We were very impressed by this KOA - the amenities offered were the best we have seen at a campground (both KOA campgrounds and non-KOA), the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the setting was beautiful! We've already been recommending it to our friends and family, and plan to go back!
