What to do
Visit Bent's Old Fort: Located near La Junta, this reconstructed 1840s trading post offers living history demonstrations. "We stayed at La Junta KOA while visiting Old Bent's Fort. It's definitely worth the side trip," notes reviewer Lynn from La Junta KOA.
Explore local wildlife areas: The region offers multiple wildlife viewing opportunities along the Arkansas River corridor. "When staying at Sundance, we took nightly walks around the small creek at the edge of the park. The bird watching was excellent with lots of species visible," shares Matt O.
Walmart shopping: For campers needing supplies, La Junta offers convenient access to retail. "The La Junta KOA is within 5 minutes walking distance to Walmart, perfect for picking up anything you forgot," explains Martin-Charles S.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention cleanliness as a highlight. "All gravel, but neat and clean. New owners for one month now. Nice folks and they are working hard to spiff the place up," writes Rick G. about Sundance High Plains RV Park & Cabins.
Friendly staff: The personal touch makes a difference to many guests. "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sundance High Plains RV Park. From the wonderful welcome we received when we checked in to the amenities of the Park, it was great. Moderately priced, attractive, and accommodating," shares Ross K.
Affordable options: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate the value. "Fair Pricing! A perfect one night stay for campers who need a place to stay and won't be using the extras as they do not use a dump station or electric," notes Jeff A.
What you should know
Weather considerations: The area can experience severe weather events. "Right after we set up, a huge storm went through. Never lost power and all was fine. Staff was friendly," reports Melanie T. about her experience at Sundance during a tornado warning.
Holiday pricing: Be prepared for potential price increases during peak times. "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!" cautions David from La Junta KOA.
Noise factors: Some locations experience ambient noise. "Try to stay towards the back unless you like hearing a carwash at all hours," advises Matt O. Other reviewers mention highway and occasional train noise at La Junta KOA.

Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: Take note of site layouts before setting up. "Strange parking. Tip — park further away from hookups than you think you should," advises Georg U. about Sundance High Plains.
Big rig access: Both primary cabin camping locations accommodate larger vehicles. "This has been a very good 3/4 of the way stop for us when heading to CO and UT. We have the same site we had last time. Super nice people and easy access," explains John F.
Late arrival procedures: For those traveling after hours, plan accordingly. "Late arrival instructions were obviously posted," shares Lynn about her experience at La Junta KOA.
