Meet Your Hosts

Dave and Susie Taylor

We truly enjoy making others happy. We greet them and make them feel like they're number one. We want them to have a good time.

Camping has always been part of Dave and Susie Taylor's life. They share many fond memories of camping vacations with their daughter and son. So their decision to purchase the Gunnison KOA in March 2004 was a natural extension of a lifestyle they've always loved. Both are originally from Chicago, but both went to college out West and later settled in Denver. They've lived in Arizona and Denver.  
They've always been tent-campers, Susie said, and spent several years visiting Dave's parents while they work camped at the Gunnison KOA. They liked the campground and the former owners, and when it went on the market, they decided to buy it.
"We very much enjoy working with the camping public," Susie said, adding that being respectful of all campers and greeting them by name adds a personal touch. "We truly enjoy making others happy. We greet them and make them feel like they're 'number one.' We want them to have a good time."

Dave and Susie take pride in the changes they've made to the campground and keep the grounds lush with beautiful green grass.

This campground is a truly unique camping experience!
