Salida - Mt. Shavano KOA

Needed a stop and electricity. Water and showers were an additional highlight. Although winds were blustery and COLD, we slept peacefully.

Host/Manager Betty was extremely accomodating! This KOA has 'tiered' sites which are well maintained. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. The Dog area is easily accessible and kept clean as well. This KOA has gravel sites and convenient hookups.

This campground is located on hillside just off of Hwy  50 approximately 6 miles west of Salida, Colorado. A beautiful location. We stayed here two nights in June, knowing this is a relatively new KOA that used to be a private campground. We would have left at the end of the first day except that we met friends there and wanted to continue our visit with them. Water pressure was almost non-existent (we had to use our own water pump in the RV) and Wi-Fi was almost non-existent during peak times.

This campground is definitely not up to the standards of a KOA. We have stayed in at least 16 0thers. I am aware there are other nice campgrounds in this area competitively priced.

Management at the campground have registered our complaint, but no ne on their team was present to do anything. Staff was new and expressed their regrets for our complaint.
