Overall Camper Rating:

everyone was great very clean campgrounds 7/15/2019

Easy to find. 7/14/2019

Making a reservation and checking in were easy and efficient. A couple of things I did not know about--extra charge for a third child when the kid's activities were closed at 6 and we could not get there before 6:30, no movie shows at this location... 7/14/2019

Very short overnight stay, Staff was helpful and efficient. As with most of the older KOA's the super rigs make it tight and can affect maneuverability within the park. Had good power supply and water pressure... 7/8/2019

It was fine. Just a little tight moving around the camper. Usual 7/7/2019

Had a good time, cabin was clean and comfortable, just wish the pool had been open, but other than that its always a great place to spend the 4th of July! 7/7/2019

The staff were very friendly and helpful and we got way more than we expected 7/7/2019

I thought the trailer would be an rv. The ac in the trailer does not do an adequate job of cooling down trailer. The cabin has no place to put your stuff:) It was clean and well kept! 7/6/2019

I think the campground is showing its age, and feels like the owners are not putting quite as much effort and care and attention to detail into some areas - pruning, weed control, etc. The rec building was a storage area, etc. Bathrooms are fantastic, though! 7/3/2019

I was very nice but would have been better is the pool had been working 104 degree temperature in La Junta was a killer! 7/2/2019

Amazing. 7/1/2019

It was a nice campground. They had a few less amenities than the top KOA locations giving them only a slightly lower rating. 6/26/2019

Very nice people. Very clean. Love the little coffee stand. 6/26/2019

KOA at La Junta, Crooked Arroyo location is much improved since it was built many years ago. Most trailer sites have shade. Tent sites are nice with sand enclosures and shade tents... 6/25/2019

The patio sites are a joke compared to other KOA patio sites and the regular sites are not always long enough to handle larger rigs. 6/24/2019
