KOA Coleville/Walker Meadowcliff Lodge

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting alongside US Highway 395 in Coleville, this KOA draws travelers moving through the Eastern Sierra corridor between Tahoe and the Mono County region. The campground runs from March 1 through November 10 and accommodates both tent campers and RVs up to 45 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer available at RV sites. Tent sites are on the smaller side, with at least one camper noting a 10x10 canopy fit snugly alongside the hookups and picnic table.

Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews, and the grounds appear to receive consistent daily attention from staff. "Cleanest spot we have ever been at," wrote scott after checking in. The staff is frequently mentioned as attentive and accommodating, including delivering store items to campsites. Highway noise from 395 is audible, particularly truck traffic, so campers sensitive to road sound should factor that in. Cell signal is limited, with T-Mobile users reporting one to two bars, though WiFi is available on-site.

The location works well as a base for day trips. Bridgeport, Virginia City, and Lake Tahoe are all within day-trip range, and the Bootleg Campground and West Walker River Roadside Camp offer more rustic alternatives nearby for those who want to mix up their stay. Mountain views are visible from the grounds. Reservations are available and recommended, and the campground's late-arrival policy warrants checking before planning an after-hours check-in.

Campers regularly cited exceptional cleanliness and attentive hosts as standout features. Highway noise is noticeable but most found it acceptable. One serious incident with late arrival procedures was reported.

Quite and Clean

This was our first time at a KOA and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We stayed for one night. (Tent Camping) The staff was friendly and helpful and all of the sites and communal areas were clean. The tent sites were a tad smaller than what we imagined, but was able to situate our 10x10 canopy and connecting tent between the hook ups and picnic table. The views are beautiful and it is mostly quiet but you can hear the road at times.

Harassment

We arrived late to the KOA and attempted to follow the late night registration. Nowhere does it say that late night registration will result in them threatening to call the cops on us. There wasn’t any envelopes. I’ve had that happen many times to me at state and national parks. Never had I had it result in harassment and threats. I’ve always had park rangers catch you on the way out or leave an envelope under the windshield wiper. However this is a KOA and a private campground and are allowed to treat customers horribly, which they did. They started banging on our camper at 3 AM woke up my baby. Threatened to cal the cops for trespassing. When I offered to pay for the site they threatened to charge more and more money if I wasn’t able to pay cash. I was never given a receipt. I was treated like a criminal. When I called them during their office hours that states that it was common courtesy not to arrive after 9. This RV park is along highway 395 so it seems bizarre not to accommodate travelers. They also woke up the campers next to us at 3 am for a similar infraction but state that aside from me this has “never happened”. Save yourself the harassment and threats and a good night sleep and just drive past Coleville KOA.

Clean Quiet Campground Caring Staff

We were here in June 2020. The park was clean and comfortable. We were able to explore Bridgeport, Virginia City, and Tahoe for day trips from this location. We had passes to get into Yosemite but could not go in due to a road closure of the 395. We’d definitely stay here again.

Five Stars KOA, Oh Yeah!

We stays at the Coleville/Walker Meadowcreek KOA as a base camp during a recent trip to Mono County. We had driven by the campgrounds for years and didn't think to must about it. Well, this facility is really excellent! The hosts and staff are some of the finest folks we have ever met. Being along US 395 it does get truck and traffic noise on the two-lane highway, but with all of the amenities and access to tons of local activities the road noise was more than bearable. Clean and fresh, I mean a really upscale KOA. And they are still improving on what their have done. It's no wonder that it is on the KOA President's list of top locations in the Country. And you ask, will we visit again, you bet we will!!

Amazing

This is a top of line KOA!! Scott and Tim have this campground and it’s lodging in tip too shape. Super clean, great grounds and that have daily upkeep. We stayed for 5 days and everyday someone was doing something. Even mowing the lawn while enjoying a cigar. Every night they walked through the grounds to see how everyone was while drinking a glass of wine. Also, we screwed up our reservations and they immediately saved us and we’re able to accommodate an extra day. It’s a bit far from the Yosemite entrance but so worth it! Also, it’s really close to Tahoe, and other great places like Bristlecone Forest. Great location! Love this place!!! One last thing…they will deliver items from their store to your campsite!!!!

Great Stay!

This was one of the best stays we have had in a while. It was a perfect break from some of the more rustic sites. The customer service was top-notch, the facility was clean and peaceful, and there was reception and WiFi. For someone with T-Mobile, I got between 1 and 2 bars.

I would also like to point out that the bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest we have seen so far. A+ stay!
