TANGO WHISKEY TRAILER TRANSPORT LIMITED moved an RV- a fifth wheel out of here on 12FEB22. Very easy access to and from US-50. Very clean park, wide drives, pull thru spots. Restrooms very clean.

I always rent cars from these guys for my traveling needs and they are so friendly! The owner is a really nice guy; very knowledgeable about lots of attractions locally and all around Colorado and even other states. He's got lots of ideas about cool stuff to check out. The business practice is operated honestly and the owner strives to keep prices as low as he can which of course I really appreciate. I love the little shop in the office. It has local honey and salsa for sale and fun for kids decorations. It seems to have just about anything one might need while camping on the very nice looking site. Also, it's really close to Walmart so if he does not have what you are needing in his shop it's not far away. There is a cute little ice cream trailer called "The daily planet out front which we love to swing by in the summer because they have the best prices in town. And, a good selection. Anyway, I totally recommend doing business here if you are traveling or even just locally needing to get away from home. -Happy customer here!

Not fancy. But very cute. Great for overnight or maybe two, but that's exactly what KOA Journey RV parks are all about. Easy in and out off Highway 50, easy to find. Walk right out the entrance to the park and into Candlelight for BBQ. Quick walk to stores as well. Good dog park which my dog enjoyed which had agility equipment. Pool (didn't use), and very cute playground for kids. Even though my site was near the highway and train tracks, it was very quiet. 40-foot DP towing my car so ~61 feet long and had no trouble maneuvering in the park, and my site had ample space to allow keeping the TOAD hooked up since I was only staying one night. I will definitely remember this place and return. Plus, it's a great choice if seeing Bent's Old Fort, or if you want to stop in nearby Rocky Ford during melon season!

The campground was clean and the tent area we stayed at had privacy fencing around it that helped us feel safer. The bathroom on the other hand was very outdated and to top it off the bathrooms did not have security codes so anyone can stop by the camp and walk-in. Other KOA I have been too provided that sense of security. This camp ground is off I-50, there needs to be more security measures in place to protect the guests. The staff was very helpful and friendly!
