3.5 out of 5 stars. Pro's: Close to amenities like Walmart, fast food, restaurants, etc. Very clean KOA grounds. Dog play area. Overall a nicer, small KOA campground. Staff friendly, helpful. Con's: NOISY at times. RV'ers partying until all hours, cussing, drinking, etc. Very close to main road, noisy! No staff at night to control unruly RV'er party people!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your comments & we're sorry that some guests were too noisy at night. We do have staff on the premises 24x7 & have an after-hours number for guests to call if there are any issues - we did not receive any calls that night. We will promptly address anyone that is making noise past our quiet hours starting at 10 pm - we just need to be called! We all need our sleep! Safe travels!

I have stayed in the Rustic Cabins, several times over the past 10 years, always a great experience. This stay however, I was in for a treat, the Deluxe Cabin. How wonderful to be able to pull up to a cabin with queen bed, shower, toilet, sink, refrigerator, microwave, dishes, glassware, utensils, etc. I was able to walk in, shower, eat and have a great night's rest. Kudos for allowing pets :D

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We truly appreciate your repeat patronage and are very glad you enjoyed our new Deluxe Cabins. Who woulda thunk that having H2O in a cabin would be so nice, right! Travel safe & we look forward to your next visit! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

Seemed odd to be limited to one or two sites when most of the spaces were empty.?. Else all was fine.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

To assist guests coming in after the office is closed, we put out a night registration site availability list of the 2 best sites of each site type. We consider other reservations that haven't arrived, that water at some sites is not winterized/open, that a site may have maintenance going on, to provide guests space between sites, etc. If a guest wants a specific site, we will try to make it work!

We rented a Deluxe Kabin with a bathroom.. The hot water heater was undersized.. We were completely out of hot water after a five minute shower..

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will add upgrading this to our project list! Happy Holidays & travel safe! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

Employees seemed very nice. That's the good. This KOA seems very tired. They need to pay more attention to cleanliness and maintenance. A badly wrecked truck was left there, trash laying around. Was told that one of the washers didn't work but they didn't know which. No out of order sign! Halloween decor was partially dismantled and left where it was, 3 weeks after Halloween.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Yes, we are behind on cleaning up after our Haunted Campground, including the wrecked truck, as we lost the staff person responsible for the event. All washers are working & our Halloween props have been returned to the crypt. Cheers! The La Junta KOA Team

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We also stayed during the Haunted Trail that you put on and it was amazing. The bathrooms were always clean and the cabin was clean as well. I will stay here again when I come up.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed our Haunted Campround - it is a scary bunch of fun! Travel safe! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

We got there very late & left early... The cabin was perfect!!!! Loved it & Brad? was great... I didn't even know you had cabins until this trip!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you! Our Deluxe Cabins are great for a single or couple! Travel safe - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

Brad was very helpful and the sites are large.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Are you sure you don't mean that having the sites was helpful and Brad is very large...?!! LOL! I'm working on it! Seriously, thanks for your kind words - we appreciate 'em. Be safe on the road. Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

Your meeting room could be fixed up a bit. Nice friendly service, will try to stay again in the future.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You are so right! Sprucing up our Rec Room is one of this winter's projects, and it sure needs it! Thanks for staying with us and be safe in your travels! Cheers! from Your La Junta KOA Team

Confusing entrance and registration area.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It is indeed a bit crazy the last two weeks of October when we put on our Haunted Campground and put up the GIANT WALL OF STRAW! We appreciate everyone's patience. The Haunted Campground is a great community event and raises money for the high school drama clubs in our valley. It is a scary, ghoulish and yep, a bit confusing time! I promise you we are a bit more "normal" the rest of the year...!

We had about 18 friends there-- some were in RV's, some rented cabins, some stayed in tents. We rented the Deluxe RV site. It was a great experience and everyone enjoyed themselves. The campground was very nice and the owner Brad was helpful and friendly. It was clear the owners take great pride in their operation and we would encourage anyone and everyone to stay there.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

WoW! Thank you for them mighty kind words! We are doing our best, everyday, to make this a great place to stay. We have made a ton of progress in the past 2.5 years (all new fencing, 100+ new trees, upgraded tent sites & playground, added deluxe cabins & RV site, added night lighting, coffee stand & more!) but still have more to do! Travel safe & see you again - Cheers! Your La Junta KOA Team

The staff was very friendly and helpful (even providing an extra heater when requested). The facility was well maintained. Bathrooms/Showers were clean. The camp was quiet.

One night stay. Very windy as storm front blew through. Very glad the electrical power remained constant all night. Surprised the bathrooms do not have a coded lock on them, especially this close to a major highway. Could there be a vagrant seeking shelter inside? The office/store did not open on Sunday until 10:00 am. No coffee, no snacks, etc., until well after most travelers have left.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

After 2.5 years here, we have had no problems with vagrants. Most of our guest appreciate not having any locks on the bathrooms. We used to be open starting at 8 am on Sunday and hardly had any guests come in for anything, especially during the off-season. Thank goodness for reliable electricity! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

Like new improvements! See you next time.

The cabin itself was nice, new and clean. And desk guy was very personable. However, no storage area for clothes, no coffee pot, and you need a landing outside the door - without a landing it is awkward and dangerous. The bed was very hard, and crinkled due to the bedbug/wet bed protection casing. Also adjacent RR tracks provided many late night loud noises.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We will be upgrading the approach to the cabins & a landing sounds like a good idea. We have a coffee stand open from 6am-5pm about 100 feet from the cabins. We're sorry if the bed wasn't a good fit for you - we went with the mattress that 75+% of all hotels/motels use. As for the railroad, we'll ask them to move their tracks further away-after 160 years there, they could use a change of scenery.

We only stayed one night. Brad was very helpful.

We were put in a space next to a long term guest which woke us early with his diesel truck. The shower house was long way from our site.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

This time of year, during our off-season, we have a fair amount of monthly guests who are working in the area. If we didn't have them here, we would probably close for the winter as there are often days where there are very few travelers. Site #28 is one minute walking from the bathrooms/showers. Did you ask to be closer? Cheers! The La Junta KOA Team

Would not stay again. Found park very tight for large rigs like ours. The width of the sites is too small. We where parked overlooking mobile equipment and a trash pile. Also what was available as far as facilities and appearance not that great. However the restrooms were clean.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're glad you found our outhouses clean. We don't rest much in them ourselves.... We hope you never get lost again. Cheers! The La Junta KOA Team, working to make our campground better, everyday!
Oct 10, 2018
Clean and well kept. Very pet friendly with a dog playground; sand with equipment for them to play on but just surrounded by a picket fence. Pickets wide enough for smaller dogs to squeeze through and short enough for big dogs to jump.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your kind words. We'll check into the dog yard fence picket widths...! Travel safe & have fun! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

While the park was nice and inviting, the thing that impressed us the most was Brad. We had brake problems and when we asked if he knew anyone who could help us, he got right on the phone until he found someone to help us. He recommended a fellow that did on site service and after having to extend our stay for an additional days we were back on the road. Thanks to Brad.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are lucky & thankful to have a very nice, talented and affordably-priced local RV service guy here! We're glad he could get you back on the road fairly quickly. Enjoy your travels and be safe! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

roads very tight to turn big rigs, some big rigs not centered in their space and partially blocking roads, one of our party's truck was hit. full hook-up sewer was too full to dump, got the excuse about it being an old system and flat ground - that obviously did not solve the problem.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It is a fact that our septic system is old & the campground is flat, not an excuse. While we can't do much about the flatness, we will be working on putting in new sewer lines this spring. We inherited at least 8 years of deferred maintenance & have put all our income into fixing it; other items (falling down fencing, roofs, unsafe playground) were higher priorities. We are making good progress!
Oct 03, 2018
Really like the owner. Very friendly, telling us all about the neat improvements at the park. Had a great time, except for the flies, & mosquitos. Bad even down south 45 miles away, had to come indoors. We developed a bad shower leak & had to use Koas showers. Very clean, secure & nice. Enjoyed the last time we were here also, even though it was very cold. Walmart next door, very handy. *****

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your very nice comments. We love our Crooked Arroyo, but not necessarily everything (skeeters, flies) that come with it! Travel safe & have fun out there! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

Clean facilities, clean cabin. This campground is next to a creek so bring bug spray. Firewood prices at the campground are rather high ($7.00) for what you get but they do bring it to your site which is nice.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback - we try hard to keep our campground very clean. We try to provide enough wood to last 3-4 hours & usually find leftover wood after our guests have checked out.... Have a wonderful journey & stay safe! Cheers from your La Junta KOA Team!

The septic system really needs to be fixed. One of our party had to disconnect in the end of the stay and use the dump station even though they paid for full hookups. Also when we made reservations months in advance, we were not put in the larger 50 amp sites, but in the cramped 30 amp sites. We would have preferred to be in the larger sites, but were never given that option. Otherwise fine.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for commenting. The older park section was built in the 1950's & the septic was put right in line with the trees, which are now causing issues. We will be putting in a new line next spring. As for the sites, the reservation was made for 30 amp sites & no one requested a 50 amp site-we would have been happy to relocate the party if only someone had told us, which we ask every guest to do....
Sep 30, 2018
Great for an overnight stay. Our pull thru was pretty level and almost long enough to stay hooked up with our 42’ 5th Wheel.....we were sticking out just a little bit! FHU and good OTA tv channels. Nicest office staff we have ever encountered anywhere!!!!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your friendly comments - we are lucky to have some very fine people on our staff! We hope your travels are most enjoyable & please be safe out there - don't stick out too much! Cheers from Your La Junta KOA Team!

We've used this KOA twice while taking family members to the train station in La Junta. We were so impressed by the care of this property. A bonus, it's in walking distance of the local Walmart & Dollar Tree.
