Gunnison, Colorado Campground | Gunnison KOA Journey

Escape the heat in cool Gunnison, where the average July high temperature is 80 degrees.

"Come and watch the grass grow" is the slogan at the Gunnison KOA. Mom, Dad, children and dogs will enjoy camping on the 100% grass-covered sites. Unique to the West, this KOA has an abundance of water to provide green grass for camping. Take off your shoes and enjoy the blades between your toes. Blue Mesa Reservoir, the largest body of water in Colorado, is so close you can feel the fishing and water recreation from 8 miles away. Children and adults will enjoy the weekend petting zoo. Fish, bike, hike, raft and shop within minutes of this quiet campground. The campground has a stocked trout pond, and you can catch-and-keep for a fee. The wildflowers in nearby Crested Butte are spectacular! This is a unique camping experience. Max pull thru: 100 feet. Your hosts: Dave, Susie and Michael Taylor.

Very well maintained and very quiet. Enjoyed the hospitality shown by the staff. 9/16/2021

We have never stayed at a camp ground with grass at the camp sites before. That made it so nice for the dogs and us, no dirt tracked in our RV. Our little Jack Russell loved all the animals especially the pot belly pig, she looked for her every time we went for a walk... 9/16/2021

We love the A Frame cabins, perfect for two people. Hopefully when you get the pond filled in, and more sites there, you will have a bathhouse nearer there. 9/13/2021

This is a lovely park with lots of green grass and plenty of space between campers. The owner was very helpful and considerate when we had truck problems while there. Nice and cool at night in September! 9/13/2021

Everybody was very nice. Didn’t really care for walking through other campsites to access restroom but nobody seemed to care. Since my last stay improvements have been done always a plus also enjoy the different critters. Thanks 9/12/2021

Great campground and staff. Great high speed wi-fi. Lots of space between camp sites. Also great fishing in the area. 9/12/2021

Beautiful small park. Quiet. Staff is absolutely amazing. They are constantly watering in any site not occupied. Animals greet you as though they were dogs….3 donkeys in their big pen as you enter, goats that are pets and even a potbellied pig... 9/12/2021

Very welcoming and charming. The staff were helpful and friendly and the facilities were very clean. Fun fact: you can purchase a small bag of carrots to feed the donkeys on site. Wonderful stay and we will definitely stay again if we are ever back in town. 9/11/2021
