Mens bathroom did not appear to be cleaned during the 4 days we were there. we have stayed multiple years and this was the only time this occurred

We checked in after the office had closed. The procedure was clear and we were able to find a good site for tent camping with a great view. It was nice to have a separate area for tents. The host made a point of checking in with us to make sure we knew where things were .. Quiet hours and speed limits within the park were honored. The facilities were clean.

Terrible experience with one of the male campground hosts. He was rude about enforcing the speed limit of 5mph. I was going less than 10 but couldn't say exactly since my speedometer has no increments below that. We were not given a checkout time at check in. He was also very rude about the checkout process after calling me right at checkout time.

My motorcycle wouldn't start after my night stay and the staff were very accommodating and gracious.

We were glad to be able to get a tent site with electric without a reservation. It was quiet and restrooms were clean as we have come to expect from KOA. I also appreciated having a sink for doing dishes in the restroom/laundry building. However, the tent sites and basic cabins are MUCH too far from the restroom building. Owner suggested we drive. The non-electric sites were ever farther.

I won't stay at this KOA ever again.Showers and bathroom are gross at best. Got an email less than hour after checking in, advising not following 5mph posted speed.Was going maybe 7-9 mph.Some guy-Gino?-yelled at my son and me for removing some dead tree limbs to start a campfire. Told to buy firewood at lobby. Had a 7 day reservat and left after 3 days it was so bad. Won't ever go back.

The camp host were awesome and we really enjoyed our stay! However, the bathrooms were really far away and could use cleaning more often. The bathroom was out of soap and paper towels while we were there.

There are little bits of trash all over the tent sites plus old tent stakes you need to watch for before driving into the site. The bathroom house is old and dated, and way too small. The water in the showers fluctuates terribly making a shower difficult, way too hot then freezing cold.

I wished to have an area with trees since it was so windy. My tent had a hard time not blowing around. I wish you can get wifi at the tent site. I did enjoy the room next to bathrooms.

We had a great stay. Special shoutout to Gino, who delivered 4 bundles of firewood by wheelbarrow!! (We were on motorcycles) as well as Marti, she was great. The only other thing is, whoever owns this KOA needs to #1 get Gino a golf cart or utv instead of a wheelbarrow and most importantly GET BEAR CANS for your campground. This helps campers/employees and PROTECTS the bears.

We really enjoyed camping by the water, but two things were not good: One - there was some sort of camp manager - a guy - who was patrolling and approached us threateningly sayingt our driving on site "too fast" - I agree, I wasn't 5 mph, but probably no more than 10. He told us "if we did this again he would have to..." 2. please sweep community room . The front desk woman was great!

This was just a quick overnight stop. Our late arrival paperwork was easy to find and the caretaker/host was also walking the grounds and helped guide us to our spot. Showers/restrooms were nice and clean. Pretty location with a creek and wild flowers. This campground is in a nice location with lots of activities nearby including river rafting and tubing, shopping and dining.

There is only one bathroom block at the entrance to the campground, and it is very dark, dated and has much mouse sign. The wreak side tent sites were quite lovely, but ours did not have an adequate level space for our tents And we ended up sleeping on a slope, Which was not very comfortable. But the creek was lovely and we had some shade. Not our favorite campground.

Our primitive camping spot was really nice and near a creek. However, it was a loooooooooong way from the bathroom, which was very inconvenient. I wish there had a been a toilet near us. Shower were hot and had great water pressure.

Very nice people running the place, very clean and family oriented. A great place to stay. I will be back

It was great and we will be back

Check in was flawless, campsite was clean, restrooms were cleaned but was out of hand soap. The unpleasant piece to my stay was the “ camp host. Before I got out of my car he was reciting rules to me like some sort of Gustapo agent. He did this both evenings as I arrived. It was just me and my dog, we were tent camping and kept to ourselves, yet I felt like I was being hounded and watched.

Very nice and helpful staff. Facilities were clean and stocked. The tent sites are separated from the RV site by a creek and some trees, so you have a nice sense of being secluded. Will be back!

Easy check-in. Bath house was very clean. It's early in the season, so there weren't too many people in the campground.

Great location, clean and well kept, nice variety of accommodations. I’ll be back!

Very nice campground and close to Salida. Friendly staff.

We enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect. The staff were courteous and helpful. We found everything to be as advertised. The bathrooms and grounds were clean, the site was level and worked great for us. We will definitely be coming back! Well done!

everything was fine but the wi-fi is literally useless. 2-3 bars throughout the 8 day stay, would take minutes to load cnn.com or would just time out.

Came it at dusk and it is a beautiful and very clean campground. Thank you!

Very friendly service and beautiful sites! My only comment would be that for those in tent sites, the restrooms are way toward the front near the office so it would be a very long walk—it was easier to drive. That said, it was nice that the tent sites were set back against the hillside and stream, and I would definitely stay again if through this way!

Great campground with easy drives to Salida and Buena Vista. Will stay again.

Women's restroom lock did not function. Needs another bathroom at other end of campground.

The owners really look out for their customers, and make you feel right at home. I will stay again.

First time at KOA we enjoyed our stay look forward to next time.

Super easy check in and check out. Staff was above and beyond friendly during their routine rounds to check on everyone, which made us feel very safe and taken care of.

Tent camped and it was very noisy from highway traffic. The koa worker drove around on his 4 wheeler making laps every 30 min. around the campground. noise from the 4 wheeler was distracting.The bath house is at the very front entrance so a bit of a hike for tent campers who need the restroom. I noticed a lot of people driving up to the restrooms. it gets a 4 for quick Access to activities.

A lovely location outside of Salida and off of HWY 50. My electric "tent" campsite was set at the top of the hill and backed by trees, a good location. The bathroom and showers were clean and had hot water. One con was the Wi-Fi, which had a weak signal such that I could not use it from my campsite. Instead, I took my laptop to the common "pavillon" to do my work.

Its loud duexto highway. Tent sites are poor, not really a leveled gravel pad. Showerhouse old but clean.

Great friendly staff. I love the size of our site for the night. Not crammed in like a lot of them now days. Wish the store was open a little earlier in the morning

Great hosts, really good location, excellent view of the night sky with very little light pollution for star gazers. The guest house has an entertainment room, wifi, laundry and shower. However, the quest hose is located at the front of the camp grounds which make for a long walk if you need to make a pit stop. Otherwise, a great place to bivouac while one explores the area.

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.
