    Did not get tv reception & small spaces.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We're sorry you did not get good TV reception - we suggest checking your antenna & connections as most report being able to pull in 15-20 stations besides our high speed WiFi. For larger sites, please try our South Park next time - they are longer, wider, have grass medians and fire rings. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Much improvement since our Hammin' Sams chapter group stayed there.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for noticing - it means a lot! We've got more to do, but we're getting there...! Our west fence is next, plus adding more night lighting on the electric pedestals. We loved having your group here! Travel safe & enjoy the road, wherever it leads you! Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    La Junta KOA had level campsites, very clean and tidy, friendly staff, great location. Perfect.

    The rear 3 street loop sites are more spacious than those close to the office. The pool was open on May 17 and 18 but unheated. FHU utilities were good. The young lady who greeted us and checked us in was very pleasant and very accommodating. She was a joy to talk to after a day on the road. Nearby Old Bent's Fort is well worth a visit and the quarter mile walk.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your comments - we appreciate the detail! Our South Park, which is much newer than our North Park, is the place to be for big rigs! Enjoy everyday & be safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Staff was helpful, polite & available. Facilities, especially bathrooms, were clean. Very satisfied with our stay.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your very kind words - we are glad you enjoyed staying with us, and we welcome you back anytime! Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Our group advised the management we would need the club house during our stay. The club house was being used as a storage facility, the little free area was dirty and cluttered and there was not water in the kitchen. Everyone was very disappointed. In order to play miniature golf, each of us had to pay $3. The "course" was poorly maintained and not worth the $3.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are very sorry that we did not have the water working for you in the Rec Room - we discovered multiple leaks when we turned it back on after it quit freezing at night, just a few days before your group was in & we could not get it fixed in time. Other than that, we're glad the rest of your group had a good time! Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Trouble with the software. Everyone's charge was different in our group. Four times try to get it right. We had 12 units in our group. Too much time spent. Old software--K1. Brad tried to correct the issues but software was restricting. C'mon KOA and get in the 21st century. We will stay there again as Brad was trying his best. Detracted from the pleasant stay.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    With persistence, we got it right - just took more time & brainpower than it should have! KOA is rolling out K2 - yay! to replace the 18 year-old DOS K1 reservations system that can only handle one discount at a time & we were trying to do three! It will be better next year - we'll be on K2! Thanks for your patience. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Really enjoyed the stay with you, it is really a pleasant place to Kamp. We really enjoyed the Koshare Museum. I knew Buck back in the 50's. Ron

    Thanks for staying with us and we're glad you go to visit the Koshares - quite a group, quite a story! Their Kiva is awesome!! Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Welcoming staff who offered free cold water to us upon arrival. Dog park basically just dirt, but it worked out okay for our dog. Pool had just opened and that was really refreshing. Loved the Village Inn within walking distance since the ones in our hometown closed.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for nice comments, and we're glad you enjoyed the water - both drinking & swimming! It is nice to have four places to eat within a five minute walk. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    We have stayed here over the years..new owners I believe..lots of work being done to make the campground nicer..my only 2 complaints...we had rusty orange water coming out of the faucet off and on for the 5 days we stayed there. They said they had the water tested and it was ok...The internet was good until the campground got lots of people...then forget it...wouldn't work at all.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for staying with us again & for the specific concerns. If the water has not been used for a few days, it will flow rusty for a few seconds then clears up. We are not sure why that would have lasted longer during your stay & the guest after said the water has been fine. We were unaware of any internet issues but will check into it now. Have a great spring & travel safe. Cheers! La Junt

    There was no reason to be charged as much as we were charged when the washrooms were way less than a State Park would have and nothing else was open. The wifi was good but other than that there is no reason to recommend this park to anyone.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we are so glad you enjoyed our awesome Hi-Speed WiFi! We appreciate your taking the time to comment. Please, please travel safe, relax and remember that you are on vacation, right! Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team
    May 12, 2018
    Spots are a little tight. Friendly staff

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Next visit, we encourage you to stay in our South Park where the spaces are much more spacious - enough to have fire rings at each one! Thank you for staying with us. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Incompetent receptionist, long wait to change a site too short for RV, another long wait to have a limb sawed off which was blocking my door from being opened and had to find help myself.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Is "Incompetent receptionist" code for "new staff learning their job on their first day of work"? Thank you so very much for your patience & persistence, and we are very grateful that you found the time to leave us a comment. We wish wherever you go the very best of luck! Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Brad is always friendly and helpful to us. We have never had any issues at all. We always stay here when we come to town to work. The place is clean and the staff helpful.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your very kind words & we truly appreciate your repeat business. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team
    May 07, 2018
    Extremely friendly and welcoming staff who were hard at work the entire duration of our stay, doing spring cleaning, repairs, updating of older facilities. This experience convinced us it was time to go ahead and purchase the KOA card. We plan more KOA stops now.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your kind observations of our efforts to improve our park. Our new tent sites are awesome, our playground has been remodeled and has great inflatable water slides for kids, our new deluxe studio cabins & RV site are getting great reviews, and our last section of fence to replace will be done in about two weeks - yay! Travel safe & Cheers to you! Your La Junta KOA Team
    May 03, 2018
    Very nice staff. Spaces are a little tight fir 40ft motorhome. Had to park the car in a space for tent campers.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for the compliment about our team - we are fortunate to have such good people on it! For your next visit, please check out our South Park - the spaces are longer and wider for longer rigs that are towing. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Trains...all night long

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Definitely a more Ozzie Osbourne ("Crazy Train") than Lionel Richie ("All Night Long") night - sorry 'bout that! Most nights the trains either idle or roll by fairly quietly, but every once in a while some engineer decides they need to use their horn at a less than convenient time, but they've been here since 1878 & the campground only since the 1950's! Travel safe- Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Te

    We never saw the individuals running the camp ground, but it was clean and very well kept. We came in at 8:00 pm and left at 8:00 am. A few more sign suggesting approach to the sites might be helpful especially when coming in at night with no host.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for your comments. We are adding pedestal lighting wherever we can around the park which will help. We'll see where we can add helpful signage. Travel safe & thanks for staying with us. Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Wish there was a restroom near the back of the campground.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Great suggestion - thanks! We have thought about adding one by the swimming pool/playground/tent area, which would be more than halfway back. Continuous improvement... EXCELLENT! Safe travels - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    This KOA had everything we needed for an off-season stay. They are working hard to get ready for the summer.

    Under new ownership this site is a diamond that is undergoing final polishing. The owners have some projects that when finished will place this site on a par with the very best KOA has to offer.

    My late check in reservation slip was ready when I arrived. Bathrooms were clean and warm; the site was convenient and level. Everything went smoothly!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Excellent! Excellent! Thanks for staying with us, and thanks for those mighty kind words! Yee-haw! Like Santana, it was "smooth"! We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and do, please come back anytime...! Cheers & safe travels! Your La Junta KOA Team

    We were only overnight so didn't need any facilities or amenities. I assume you were still gearing up for the season as all the facilities were in a state of disaster or disrepair. Gentleman in the office was courteous and helpful.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    LOL! Thank you for recognizing our campground improvement efforts! Yes, we are finishing putting in 2 fences so all have been replaced in the last 2 years; we are finishing upgrading our tent sites to be the best anywhere; also finishing our playground, adding more fun things for kids to do. This is what campgrounds do (should do) in the off-season - we could close, but we would rather get better!
    Apr 11, 2018
    Other than our water freezing on our first night, something beyond their control, we really enjoyed our stay in La Junta. It was comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean and nice.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your very nice comments! This time of year is certainly hit & miss when it comes to the weather, and Mother Nature is definitely the boss!! Travel safe & please come see us again - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Very nice cabin. Only negative is the proximity to the highway.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We're glad you enjoyed the cabin. Regarding the highway, at least it quiets down at night! Travel safe - cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    Clean campground and restrooms. Nice showers. A lot of traffic within the campground until about 11:00 pm. Seemed as people were just cruising around inside the campground. Campsite nice. Only stayed the one night.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for taking the time to add a comment. We appreciate your bringing to our attention your concern about people driving around - that has not been brought up before, so we'll monitor it. Travel safe. Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

    I love the KOA cabins. This one was just as comfortable. A bit off season so it was nice and quiet. The owner Brad was great. Friendly and very helpful. The TV was tough getting use to as it's an all streaming TV. I like traditional TV's.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for your kind feedback, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Every new technology has its learning curve, and that is why we went with Roku - it was definitely easier to learn than the other options. Once you get the hang of it, it opens up so many more choices in programming than cable. Thanks for trying it out! Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team
    Apr 08, 2018
    We just stayed one night, Apr 3, 2018. Not too many in the park this time of year, but the stay was fine, some reno's in progress. Is an older park, gravel sites, not too many large sites. But location was good, handy to Walmart and staff is friendly and helpful.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thank you for your kind comments. It is a nice time of year to travel - ya just gotta be ready for any kind of weather! Save travels & please come back anytime. Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team
