Welcome to the Salida / Mt. Shavano KOA!

High in the Rockies between the appealing mountain town of Salida and the Continental Divide, the new Salida/Mt. Shavano KOA is the perfect spot for high country recreation. Campers will be captivated by the views of Salida, surrounding national forests and mountain peaks. You'll discover adventure in every direction! Mt. Shavano (one of Colorado's famed “fourteeners”) rises up north of this KOA; trails wind through wildflower meadows and all the way to the summit. From the campground, Highway 50 provides a scenic drive, climbing west for about 13 miles to Monarch Pass, where an aerial tram climbs even higher, up to 12,000 feet. Your camp hosts can offer suggestions for mountain biking trails, fly-fishing hot spots and world-class whitewater rafting trips. Salida has plenty to offer too, with its unique shopping, dining and one-of-a-kind arts district. Max pull thru: 100 feet.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly, and hard working. Our spot was great, however we did have a water leak but it was not a problem. My family wants to go back again soon... 8/3/2020

Had a great one night stay, Thanks! 10/10/2020

Enjoyed our stay 10/5/2020

Really enjoyed this KOA, due to the location in the mountains. There is a highway right next to it but it's very low volume... 10/3/2020

All was good 9/30/2020

I considered a lower star rating however this is a relatively new KOA Park and they are working hard to bring their standards up to what you expect from a KOA franchise. Very friendly and helpful. Quiet-set back from the road and good spacing between tiered sites. 9/30/2020

Happy to have found an open spot at this nice, clean KOA. Very nice staff taking reservation, RV hookups well placed, laundry was a welcome sight after 10 days of boondocking. Short drive to Salida restaurants & shops, good access to local trails & fishing. 9/29/2020

Not sure why you close at 4pm, that’s a little early. This kampground does have a lot of potential and was adequate for our stay... 9/28/2020
