I have stayed at other locations prior to this one and normally have an amazing experience, until my stay here. Upon arriving at the location, I went to office to go check in only to find the office closed with a sign saying that they are on premises but cleaning bathrooms. They did provide a number to call if any assistance is needed. I waited a little bit thinking to myself how long can it take to clean the restrooms. Waited over 30 minutes, even walked to the restroom to find nobody there. I then decided to call the number which I find out is disconnected. Long story short, nobody EVER came to help me, I was never checked in, I had a reservation for a tent site and ended up going to the tent side and picked a spot myself and stayed there.Not 1 person was at those tent sites, it was only my family. Was unusual and to top it off at this point you would think someone would have came to see who I was and welcome me or even verify if I had paid. Nobody came, it was very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The following morning almost at check out time, i notice a staff member coming up towards us riding on a quad. i honestly thought at this point, wow, maybe now she'll come up and apologize for not helping us the night before, ask if things were okay at the very least.. well, that was it for me, she rode right by us said nothing at all and even my elderly mother was shocked on how rude the entire situation was turning out to be. Also the tent sites are not a lot of water, you will be sadly mistaken if you think that they are creekside. It's a tiny stream running down. The bathrooms were never cleaned, the same nasty hairs and dead bugs were in the exact same place as the day before. There are no bathrooms were the tent sites are. Would never recommend this place, EVER. This was my experience and completely dissatisfied. The location up from here, Cotopaxi I believe the name is, I would highly recommend it. That's where initially I thought I was making a reservation for until I arrived to a huge disappointment and waist of money and time. Never again will I attempt to stay here.

This review has no reflection of the staff. They were absolutely wonderful. This is a newer KOA, so I’m hoping the next time I come through which could be a couple weeks or a couple months, that they update the community room. Other than that, all the amenities are working great, the staff is awesome the office is also very nice. I’m comparing This to the other several KOA’s that I start over at. I did have a tent site which is way on the back end up against the mountain, but I could still hear the traffic going by on the main road. It does seem to calm down later in the evening, but you do have those loud trucks going through the canyons at times. It’s a very nice place, will definitely return.

Stopped here while on a work trip. The tent sites were nice. The showers were nice as we're the restrooms. Clean and functioning properly. Worth the price of a tent site. Quiet and enjoyable. Hummingbirds flitting around. Stop by and enjoy a night or two.

This KOA is in a good location and easily accessible from US-50. Bath house is close to the highway. Next up the slope are the RV sites and then then cabins along a tree line and creek. Walk over the bridge and the tent sites are there. Some shade in the tent sights, but the walk to the shower house will take a few minutes as evidenced by seeing tent camper riding their motorcycles to the shower house. Looks like each RV site has a trimmed medium sized Aspen tree to provide some shade. The men's shower house has a lock; but, the door is always open. Generally clean overall, but I've never seen toilets clogged so often. Yes, I would return another day.
