SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Visiting Bent's Old Fort or passing through southeastern Colorado on US-50, campers at La Junta KOA have a well-maintained base with full hookups, laundry, WiFi, and a small pool. The campground sits directly off the main highway, which means easy access for rigs of any size but also noticeable road noise, and reviewers mention the occasional train as well. Pull-through sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups make this a practical overnight stop for RV travelers, while tent sites come equipped with a designated pad, fire pit, picnic table, and a sink at each spot.

The grounds have a dated feel that some reviewers describe as frozen in an earlier era, but cleanliness comes up consistently as a positive. Some sites have large shade trees, and a small creek runs along the edge of the property. The campground also features a dog park, playground, and a rentable caboose cabin with a back patio. A Walmart is within a short walk, and fast food restaurants are close by, which makes resupply straightforward. Campers looking for more rustic options in the region can find Rocky Ford Campsite a few miles north, or Lake Meredith Camping farther out for a reservoir setting.

Pricing varies by site type and season, and at least one reviewer noted a significant rate increase on holiday weekends. Those planning a stay around major holidays should check rates in advance. Reservations are available and worth making during summer months.

Koa

This is your standard KOA. Fun looking train car and dinosaur out front. Right off the main highway. Close to a Walmart and fast food restaurants. Electric hook-up and picnic tables at each site and cabins to rent as well. Has a dog park, playground, small pool, and a recreation area.

Suitable for a night on the road

Un camping propre figé dans le temps des années 70-80’. Parfait pour un arrêt sur la route 50. On profite de la belle piscine . Les salles de bain sont propres. Terrain nivelé. À proximité d’une station service et du Walmart (5 min à pied).

Cool Caboose

We stayed in the Cool Caboose for a night! It was definitely cool. We were greeted with a warm welcome upon our arrival. An ice cold bottle of water for each of us was a nice touch. The caboose is very cozy and has everything you need for an overnight stay. We made great use of the back patio for dinner and breakfast. The only feedback I have is regarding the beds. They’re not the most comfortable, but they’re sufficient. We’d stay here again. We walked the property and I’d have to say, out of the dozen or so KOAs we’ve stayed at, this is definitely among the best!

Good , but expensive !

It’s a KOA, so yes, everything is pretty nice! However, jacking up the price because it’s a holiday weekend, isn’t that price gouging? $52 WITH a veteran discount, for a TENT SPOT! REDICULOUS!!! If it hadn’t been so late in the day, I would have kept going down the road! Also, lots of highway noise, and the occasional train!

WILL Be Returning. Everything We Need!

Very well taken-care-of campsite. Tons of spots for RV’s, with hookups. Tent sites have a designated tent spot, fire pit, table, and even a sink. The office store has anything you need, but there’s also a Walmart right around the corner. The wifi is strong, the laundry is cheap, and the toilet paper is soft. This site was a terrific break from camping on the road without paying for a cheap, terrible motel. All for $40 (tent site)! Very happy with our stay.

An easy overnight spot

I'm not sure what you'd do for more than a day in La Junta, but this was a great overnight spot for us in late September. (Old Bent's Fort is worth the side trip). Not crowded and restrooms were clean. Nice pull through sites, cute older playground, and a pool if you're in season. Late arrival instructions were obviously posted.

Stayed while working

Was here for a month while working expensive for a month stay but staff was friendly, try to stay towards the back unless you like hearing a carwash at all hours. Has a small creek that is at the edge of the park was very nice while on nightly walks around park. Spaces are decently sized some have HUGE shade trees.

Very nice clean and convenient campground. Sites are well equipped and the prices are very affordable. We’ll stop here again.
