Quiet and great staff

Most everything was perfect. The cabin we rented was not super clean. There was dirt in the corners.

We stayed in the cabin and relatives used the camp spots. It is very well maintained and very scenic.

Location is good Sites are newer, level, and hookups are all in new or near new order. Onsite staff, specifically the evening male babysitter is unfriendly, argumentative, rude, condescending, vulgar, short tempered, curt, and will move and remove customer items when the customer is not there. I should have first looked at the google reviews that mention him as well. Will NOT stay again.

The cabin was very comfortable and well maintained.

Its more of a rv pass and go stay. Cabin was small to fit a family of four but it works. Office closes super early so be aware of that when checking in. Overall it was clean which is very important.

Nice, clean cabin. Easy to check in late at night, beautiful site!

One night camping in a wooden cabin. It was pretty cozy and warm. Showers could be more clean! But just for one or two nights its enough!

Beautiful area and on the side of a mountain, Kabins are on the back row, long walk to restrooms but not a big deal unless you have issues with walking. Tent camp area it awesome. Clean restrooms. Nice walking trail around north side of camp ground. Close to Salida. Short drive or ride to restaurants. I travel on a street style motorcycle so the roads and parking around camp are great!

I took my 8 year olds tent camping here for the first time, and it was great! We ended up in a fancy cabin the second night, which was nicer than some motels I've stayed at! The folks that run things are very helpful, and the facilities are clean and well-kept. We will be back!

Great location. Very nice cabin that we stayed in.

Rented a deluxe cabin for 3 nights. There were 4 on the property. Two had shade triangles with chairs and privacy structures. Ours did not have any of this! The other three were vacant the first night we were there. Why weren't we assigned to one of the two that had these amenities? We were told the computer makes the assignments....really?? Had to beg for two chairs for the first two nights. More

We had a wonderful cabin! Everything was so clean and comfortable. We cannot wait to come back next year �

While in a beautiful setting, the KOA has a run down look and feel. Wifi did not work and could not be used. Kabin door was warped and barely locked with great effort. Screen door on Kabin was in disrepair, let bugs in and dragged on porch. Restrooms were old and left something to be desired. Cannot recommend it and will not be staying there again.

Men’s restroom is too small

Very nice place, and people who run it.

Amazing little cabins, great staff! We will always use KOA from now on. Way better, cheaper, and less fussy than an air b n b. This was our first time and we will be KOA campers from here on out!

Stayed in deluxe cabin. Had everything you could need. Only 2 issues no ice available at store. And laundry area had dead bugs everywhere. Butter cabin was great

we've stayed there many times and like the location and the views. The deluxe cabin is a perfect getaway.

Really lovely, quaint campground and cabin. Great landing spot to go see towns nearby. Very helpful and friendly staff.

The personnel were outstanding as always: very helpful and cordial. I believe the basic cabins need to be upgraded due to their age - upon heavy rain K3 cabin had a leak, the lighting is poor, & there was no air conditioning, no fan and the windows were difficult to open. Because the management was very pleasant and accommodating, I overlooked the deficiencies of the aging basic cabins.

The camp host was very helpful and our cabin was nice and clean and what we expected. The bathrooms were terrible. There was so much mouse droppings it was hard to walk around without stepping on some, and there were even some in the sink, making it feel like it wasn't clean at all.

Geno was a big help. He walked the grounds just letting us know he was there if anything was needed.

Wish they would allow more than 400 words. Very Beautiful location and SUPER CLEAN. All the utensils and facilities were clean and the only thing I would suggest would be BBQ tongs. The linens were clean and smelled clean. our BBQ and firepit area was very clean and well appointed. We could tell the owners take pride in this campground, will definitely be back, wish we would've booked longer.

Very clean cabin. Had no issues. Thank you for the fun, comfortable home away from home.

My wife and I stay here several times during the summer and fall. Always a great stay with nice facilities.

Loved the deluxe cabins! Nice and clean. However low water pressure and tepid water made showering difficult and water would just suddenly go cold. Soap dispenser by the bathroom sink was empty. Beds were a little too soft.

Great location, clean campground, clean bathrooms, great staff. The breakfast pizza was wonderful as well as the everything pizza. Neat setup where you don't have to leave the compound to search for a restaurant. I have camped here before and will do so again!!!

It was exciting to stay at a new KOA location, in the beautiful surroundings of tis region. Our hosts were friendly and professional. Our only complaints: our cabin lacked a ceiling fan, so we had to buy one. There’s only one electrical outlet in the cabin—very inconvenient. We’ve been spoiled by other KOA campgrounds. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

If you are staying in a camping cabin, you are too far away from the showers and restrooms. Thanks
Sep 06, 2023
Our cabin was clean and the bathroom had all the necessary amenities. The park was simple and maintained. The reservation was easy to make and check in was straight forward.

Cabins are far from the restrooms but otherwise clean and comfortable

Staff were nice and very informative. The delux cabin was a marvel of design. It had everything we needed, it was clean and new and everything worked!
Aug 18, 2023
I stayed at this KOA the first year it opened, and except for last year when I was in Scotland for 15 days, have stayed there since when I come to Salida in June.
Aug 07, 2023
Very friendly and welcoming. Close to town but quiet for the most part. Other KOAs had Saturday night activities such as cookouts or movie night.
Aug 05, 2023
Convenient location to attractions in the area. Bathrooms could use an upgrade (especially showers). Bathrooms were not cleaned daily. Office hours limited, should be more available to guests.
Aug 04, 2023
Very expensive compared to other koa locations

The Tent site was great. The stream is a great place for kids to play. I would come back if we were only staying in tents. The cabins were another story. The queen mattresses in the cabins are awful. We had 2 cabins booked and both mattresses were bad. It ruined the trip for my elderly parents. We come to the Salida area every year, and if my parents come next year we won't be staying here.
Jul 24, 2023
The staff was very nice. The tiny house was very clean. Beautiful views of the mountains. Loved looking at the stars at night. Very quite place. We enjoyed it very much. We will definitely stay again.

Great property, good peoole and a cabin with A/C... love it! Only complaint is Kabin 2 picnic table needs repair / replacment ASAP!
Jul 15, 2023
The toilets are sorely lacking.

Very nice campground with astounding, friendly staff. I have been on site for 6 months. I had to laugh at reading some of the reviews. There are campground rules to follow and to many people come in the park thinking these rules don't apply to them. Such as taking items from other sites that aren't occupied at the moment, speeding, chopping down the campground trees because they don't want to buy wood, starting huge bonfires that aren't safe for anyone around. So yes, if you come in the park thinking the rules don't apply to you, you will most likely get a talking to and deservedly so. The rules are here to keep everyone safe and to keep the grounds nice.
