Campground Reviews

Reading the previous comments would have deterred us from staying, but the KOA must have listened. The greeting staff was efficient and professional. The park was very well maintained. TV reception was adequate. Glad I didn’t listen to the negative as this KOA deserves a real positive comment.

Thank you! 4.5 stars out of 5 over thousands of reviews - we just might be doing some things right, right?! We continue to work everyday to be better and appreciate your kind words recognizing that. Have a safe journey! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

bathroom/shower were very clean and the office/store well stocked and staff friendly. guessing storm recently as kids fun area was deflated and sitting in mud. My tent site was great and clean but lights from Wal-Mart came through fence all night and could hear their delivery truck's

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words. While the closeness of Walmart is generally a convenience, the night lights are pretty bright. We have planted a row of trees & tall junipers which, over time, should provide a nice sight & sound barrier for both the tent sites and west side of our campground. Travel safe & have fun! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

A little expensive for a dusty, gravel narrow space

Thank you for staying with us, and have a great summer of travel! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

Advertised cable but upon arrival discovered cable was only available in smaller size sites in front. Very hot, no trees to provide shade. Sites were narrow and required some maneuvering with 40’ 5th Wheel trailer to avoid power pole and patio when leaving combined with narrow drive area on departure. Nice patios and fire pits at the sites. Onsite store and restrooms were clean and convenient

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind comments. We're not sure where we have cable advertised as we have not had it for a year and a half since we brought in high-speed Wifi. Almost all of our sites have shade trees to varying degrees of maturity and coverage, and we have planted nearly 100 more in the past two years. Have a great summer of travel! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

Quiet, friendly and close to Wal-Mart!

The person working the front desk was incompetent.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are soooo sorry! We were short a staff member as her son was killed that morning & the person who tried to help you was a young high school student who had just started working for us helping in the campground and offered to assist in the office when we had to stretch. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this staffing deficiency caused you. Please accept our apologies for not doing better.

Campground is very good. Staff is excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Close proximity to the railroad can make for some noisy nights.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words - they mean a lot! Even though the campground has been here for nearly 70 years, the railroad has been here a lot longer...! They do go through all the time, but at least they don't blow their horn in our section too often!! Have a most excellent summer of camping! Your La Junta KOA Team!

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful and the shower house very clean. My only negative was the high price. The last time we stayed here about four years ago, the price was quite a bit lower, as I recall.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, the prices were probably lower 4 years ago, but when we bought the park 2 years ago we found a ton of maintenance that had not been done. We have replaced almost all fencing, remodeled the playground & tent sites, planted nearly 100 trees, added night lighting, cleaned-up the arroyo bank and much more - and those things cost money.... Thank your for staying!

Pool closed way before posted time, no change available for laundry, playground was not very good....all reasons why we stopped there. Our children were not happy

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry to hear that your children were not happy with their stay. Our pool is always open until dusk, and change for the laundry is available 12-13 hours per day in our office. We have added a pair of very fun inflatables (30' water slip & slide & bounce castle), and a new playground slide, and will continue to improve our amenities for kids. Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

The cabin exceeded our expectations. We came in dirty, tired, and 8n need of a shower and a good night sleep. KOA provided that and some extra comfort in addition.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Excellent! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and got some rest. Have a fun summer, play hard & rest well! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was by far the most we have ever paid for a place to stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us, and we are lucky to have such a great staff! Have a safe, fun summer of travel! We hope you get to visit Estes Park, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park - all great KOA's! Your La Junta KOA Campground

Spaces seemed too small & too close together. Couldn't believe pool was closed for a private event on night of stay! Laundry room was so hot it was unbearable to stay inside of it for any length of time. Office seemed staffed by kids. Recreation room was locked up and a key had to be obtained to even enter it. Bathroom was pretty good sized and clean. Was close to Walmart & Village Inn.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment. The sites in our South Park are much longer & wider. When we have a private event (average 1 per 10 days) we limit it to 3 hours max per day, leaving the pool open for 8 hours. Our laundry swamp cooler was having issues & has been fixed. We lock the Rec Room as we had items stolen from it-we gladly check out a key to it at the Office. Have a safe summer!

Park was ok. Very small site

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We are working everyday to improve our park & have replaced almost all fencing, planted nearly 100 trees, added night lighting, remodeled & upgraded the tent sites & playground and much more, with more to come! We encourage you to check out our South Park where the sites are longer & wider. Travel safe - Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

Pretty old KOA, Rec Hall disused and hot and spooky. Rusty water due to old iron water pipes.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Yes, it is pretty cool that it has been a campground for over 60 years & KOA for 49 of those! We're glad you noticed that in the past 2 years all fencing has been replaced, over 100 trees planted, the playground & tent area remodeled & significantly upgraded & lighting added everywhere! We advise guests to run their city water for a few seconds to clear them ol pipes. The Rec AC is working well!

Dog park was dangerous! Screws sticking out of the “A frame” ramp where the dog would walk. The site we were given was too small. Our trailer overhung the site. Web site advertised water slides but they were inflatable and closed before the time we arrived 4:30 pm. The campground had lots of construction debris around like huge chunks of concrete, metal pipes etc.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment, particularly re. the dog park - we were unaware & are fixing it! We open the inflatables upon demand; along with your site, we would be happy to assist-please just ask! The concrete debris is from one part of the arroyo that was used for decades as a fill and we are cleaning it up - thanks for noticing! Travel safe & cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

Very clean, nice staff, but the pool opens to late and closes too early, have to pay extra for mini golf, and arcade was never open.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Our pool hours are from 9 am to sunset, mini golf is $3 per person, and we do not have an arcade.... Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

Need to trim trees as they rub on camper. Camping spaces are to small for most rigs today. There is not enough space to park camper and pulling vehicle.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We trimmed the trees-we do this at the beginning of every summer. For longer rigs, we encourage their camping in our newer South Park where the spaces are longer & wider. The site you stayed in is 53 feet long, and with a 30 foot long camper, your pulling vehicle must be huge and fun to drive!! Travel safe with that one...! Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Tea

Good place for an overnight stay. Sites are well spaced and easy to get into. Unfortunately, no cable TV.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind comment. We cut the cable (30 channels) and upgraded our Wifi by bringing fiber into the campground - plus, there are over 20 channels that can be pulled in with a conventional antenna. We suggest your trying our Roku - it does a great job pulling in Wifi and is easy to use - only $30 at Walmart. Have a great summer & be safe - cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

Unique
Stay was great, and all campground employees were extremely helpful and courteous. The campground activities were awesome for our little ones. The only complaint we have is that our park model deluxe cabin was infested with spiders. We had to kill them from the time we checked in, until the time we checked out. They were everywhere and small, as if a nest had just hatched.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, the spiders get crazy-busy in the summers here - we take out big webs that pop up almost every night on the front of our office! Did you mention them to our staff when you were here? Our custodial staff cleans after each guest, so your are right in that it probably was a nest that just hatched and no infestation. Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

Just an overnight stop. But it was so cute and clean. Loved it

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Cute? COOL! Thank you! We don't know if we've ever been called cute, but thats the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, we like it! LOL! Do, please, come stay with us again - we'd love to see you! Have a terrific ton of fun this summer - be safe! YOUR cute La Junta KOA Team! PS: Or was it just the campground that was cute?!

We like to stay there on our way to Salida, CO from Wichita. KS. Easy to pull our 31 ft motorhome towing a jeep in & out. Swam in the pool, very nice! Very friendly staff and clean campground!
