LegendWe needed to stop on the way to the mountains and most places were full but we found a spot in Brush. It had 12 sites with Electric and Water. Memorial Park was pet friendly, heated restrooms and showers, picnic shelters, playground, and disc golf. There was also a fishing pond across the street. We were excited to find out the first night was free and after that it was $20. It was a good place to spend the night.
GuideThe facilities at this state park are really nice. Relatively level and paved spots, big rig friendly, full hookups at sites, and laundry and wifi on site but it's not the prettiest or most secluded campground. There's a lake and lots of trails for biking or hiking and I think it popular getaway for locals. We did see lots of deer and a great horned owl which was cool. You can definitely hear the highway and are close to any amenity you could need. About a 35 minute drive from downtown to explore. It's a bit expensive with a daily fee on top of camping fees. We were happy to snag a spot as it's one of the closest and nicest options to explore Denver in an RV but wasn't wowed.
Guide9/25/2020 Pros: this could be a long list but I will give the top pros. Very easy to find, very easy to check in and easy to access sites, back in or pull through. The entire park is very well kept. Sites a spaced apart no crowding. Beautiful cottonwood trees turning colors. Big rigs this is the place for you.
Cons: Have not found any yet.
TravelerGenoa campground is not a resort, however , it is well accoutremented for overnight or two or three days stays. I stayed in campsite number two on the first of May. Complete full hookups available.Did my reservation online. Didn't see a camp host. The showers in bathrooms were under renovation.So they were shut off , but a blue room was of supplied. I was in a self contained travel trailer , so I had no issues. Wonder whole views of the night sky. Far enough off of the freeway to where you could just barely hear the rumble. Quiet peaceful night. For thirty five dollars , you couldn't beat it. It looks like all the sites were pull through. There's a children's playground in the city park less than fifty yards away. There's a small pavilion with barbecue pits, tables and seating on the site

GuideI am traveling back to the Midwest from Utah. I work remotely during the week and travel on the weekends. This was a great place to stop for the week. Full hookups and nice level pads. There are restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance.

ScoutAppears to be kid and pet friendly or just a nice place to stay overall but I will tell you first hand it was not. I’ve never in my life spent so much money to be treated with so little respect in my life. My family and our dogs stayed for a week (mind you we are quiet and keep to ourselves, our kids are respectful and we always clean up after our pets) during this time we had a woman that worked here at our camper at least 50 times a day “checking in on us” first thing was she didn’t like our solar lights we put out so we could see to put our shoes on when we had to make midnight doggie deposit runs (and not have to turn on our big light and disturb our neighbors)… next big thing was it rained for 3 days straight while we were here… which didn’t phase my kids who strapped on their rain gear and went to play on their play equipment… when the rain stopped and the sun came out- the same woman came knocking to let us know my kids had gotten their play equipment muddy and she expected them to go clean it off- which was no problem I sent them with the broom and some spray bottles. Little did I know, she was going to have someone power wash it 25 min after they had spent all day scrubbing and cleaning it… but my final straw was our last night here… we had left for a few hours to go do some things and we came back and my 2 year old daughters wagon (very clearly not a utility wagon- it’s pink!) was completely full of all the pet waste from the day I’m guessing, with a note taped to it saying “dump pet waste here” needless to say I’m fuming at this point.
As far as the facilities… We paid for 50 amp power and full hook ups for the duration of our visit- they instead put us in a 30 amp campsite (which is not a big deal we had adapters) but for the price difference I’m a little pissed looking at how we were treated. The shower houses are nice.. And the price gouging in the store is outrageous… almost 600% markup for even just a cold drink. I will try to add a positive note, as I try to do for even places such as these- they did have a very nice wash room for laundry. But having only one dryer that kinda worked (2 hours to dry a small load of laundry) kinda ended up being another strike against them as well. I’m not one to be nit picky, nor am I petty.. but how I was treated was completely outrageous. -20/10 makes me reconsider ever staying at a KOA again if this is how they are allowed to treat their campers!
Also beware of the goat heads! They’re everywhere. I got one in my foot, my son got one in his bike tire, and we had a flat on the camper due to one. When I say they are thick, they are THICK.
