Overall Camper Rating:

It's obvious you are really moving forward to make many improvements, repairs, and upgrade. Good for you for taking a through look at the details. Wee always like staying at La Junta KOA. 5/10/2021

Campground is located very close to Walmart, which is very helpful for restocking. Park is well maintained. Workers were out the entire day raking and cleaning around the sites. Sites were very level and mostly gravel. 5/9/2021

Pleasant, well maintained site, and friendly folks. The only downside (and I assume this is temporary) was the construction taking place at the time of our stay. 5/8/2021
