    Grand mesa is a special place

    Grand mesa is the largest mesa in the world. For over 150 years cattle have roamed here. They need to go. It is time. The diversity and wildlife will slowly be destroyed and it is exponential. The climate is changing and places like this need to to be protected they are our arks. No atvs no generators no cattle. Would improve.the place.ten fold. And absolutely no logging. Ban all fires! We are about to lose it all including Grand mesa. Wake up.

    Inconsiderate Staff

    The KOA Glenwood Springs campground offers pleasant amenities, however, there are concerns regarding the maintenance and the professionalism of the staff. Multiple guests, including ourselves and fellow RVers, encountered rudeness characterized by a lack of care, communication, and basic courtesy. This experience with the staff significantly impacts our decision to not return to this location.

    Update after talking to ranger

    We still like this camp very much. But ranger says during summer and especially on weekends, this place is very, very full. So much they close off people coming. Beware if you like quiet camping after fall is best. Boating closes October 1 for bird migration. Geese winter here on frozen lake.

    Highline Lake State Park Campground

    Unexpected green oasis

    Wow. After miles of dry rocky gulches. Even the approach to the park is fairly dry looking. Then you arrive at the well wooded, green campground with green lawns. Rv spots are level. Tents on nice green grass. Flush restrooms with showers and laundry. Sites are well separated. Swim beach. Birding area.
    Not completely full, but mostly so mid week September. 5G T-Mobile.

    North Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

    Dry forest

    First come, first serve. About 15 sites, close together. 16 USD fee (honor system). Fire pits, picknick tables, bear box (saw black bear cub hanging around one afternoon). Lots of yellowjackets which was an annoyance. Chasm trail starts from camp site with amazing canyon views. Stargazing at night. Water available in summer.

    North Rim Campground — Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

    Peaceful Forest

    This campground is at the North Rim of the canyon in a Pine and Juniper forest. It was rather quiet and peaceful considering most sites were occupied. I don't remember hearing anything at all. The trail to the rim is right behind the campground. It's a nice and cool spot during a hot summer. Great clear skies for stargazing.

    Nice location between Paonia and Marble

    This is a nice location along the river.  Campsite was clean and quiet.  Ranger was very helpful in helping us secure our reservation.

    It’s not Glenwood but Silt has its charm

    We loved near here for years so we were happy with the location. The campground is only a couple years old and has super clean, wonderful amenities and is very organized. Check in was a breeze, we have a beautiful site backing up to the river with full hookups. The splash pad, park, pool, hot tub and shower facility were all new and super clean. Wonderful facilities all around.

    Highly recommend heading to miners claim for dinner on the free shuttle from the camp ground. We are here when we lived a few towns over a couple years back and it’s still one of the best choices around!

    Hidden Gem

    A very nice camp ground for tent campers, very few people, beautiful scenes and within a very short distance of good hiking. Campground staff was helpful and we had a beautiful site right by the lake which is open to fishing and swimming. Be prepared to put a cover on your tent as intermittent thunderstorms come up out of no where. There is no cell service unless you go down route 65 a little more to the beautiful views of the valley.

    Nice fcfs CG

    This CG has two sections. The upper part is old school FS, narrow roads, small sites, lots of trees...not a good place for larger TYs or RVs. Best for tenters, Vans, small Class Cs. The lower section is much better for larger RVs and TT, lower cg area has less shade but closer to Ward lake. Vault toilets, trash and water spigots. $20/$10 senior. Run by a contract host. No cell signal and all sites are FF. Lower sites in sun are best for SL-RV

    Quiet Campground

    Had a great stay in Spruce Campground. The sites and restroom were clean and well-maintained. There is no drinking water so bring your own. The sites are a little on the small side so I wouldn’t recommend large campers but it was perfect for tent camping. The tent pads are very large and a nice bonus. The views were spectacular!

    The Campground at Big B’s Delicious Orchards

    Not a good place to camp

    Overpriced for a place with no utilities, no showers, port a potty was nasty, they gave me a reservation for a spot that already had people in it. The camp spots at the pond are all right next to one another, as in you will here everything the next camp is saying. Bugs are outrageous do to the all the fruit trees , I would assume.

    Shade, greenery, paddling and biking

    Stayed 3 nights in site 1. Nicely shaded with trees and green grass. Tree trunks spaced for hammock hanging. Lots to do with reservoirs and bike trails. The campground is a bit far away to carry kayaks to and from water.

    Nice for a KOA

    We normally do not stay at KOA but this one was nice.  It is right by a truck stop and the highway so it was a little noisy.  There is also a train track nearby and a few trains went by.  The sites are close but they have full hookups.  The sites by the river are very nice and have covered patios.  The pool looked very inviting and they even have a water park for the kids.  The bathrooms/showers were very clean.  We only stayed for one night so we didn't have a chance to take advantage of any of the facilities.  The staff was very helpful and kind.  The cabins along the river looked really nice.  I would stay here again.

    Changing

    At the time they were switching management, dealing with a plumbing issue and working on a squatter problem in the bathrooms at night.

    KOA Montrose RV Resort

    Friendly Staff, Good Location for Black Canyon of the Gunnison,

    Very passable KOA.  Friendly staff, the woman at the desk helped explain the bizarre road closure schedule during weekday hours on US-50 btw Montrose and Gunnison (what a mess).  This was a very convenient jumping off point to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison.  The neighborhood is a bit sketchy, and as another reviewer wrote, the permanent crowd at this KOA feels a little rough.  But to their credit, the staff put us in a section of the park with others who were just passing through and staying the night.

    Hidden Gem in Glenwood Springs

    Rolled into Glenwood Springs late afternoon and needed a spot for our two teardrops. Wanted to be close to the downtown area. I met Erin, the manager, outside the Hideout's office and asked if she had space. She said that the sites she would normally direct us to were close to a new bathhouse that was under construction. We checked out the sites and I told that the construction didn't bother us. Done deal. Our site was one of four that was right on the creek running through the property. Erin was great to deal with and The Hideout is a place you should check out.

    Efficient and clean

    After driving 4-10 hour days from Canada in our 16’ travel trailer, staying at Harvest Hosts, we decided to stop here to prep and regroup for the next leg of our journey. Full hook ups allowed us to flush our water systems, recharge all batteries and devices, and wait out some seriously nasty wind, like lift the trailer right off the ground wind (well felt like it I swear!). The place is super clean, easy to access, has great views and a helpful staff. Pet friendly with a small off-leash dog area even. Looks good for families too with a pool and water park, playground. Wifi was good and cell service at 2 bars. Not cheap but easy access to supplies and touristy spots.

    Cleanest KOA we ever stayed at!

    Spotless bathrooms and sites! We were only passing through and needed one night to stay. Arrived after office hours but late arrival registration was easy and we got a site no problem. Showers and bathrooms were spotless. Dog walk and park were also very clean. Nice to see since many “dog walk areas” are filthy and people don’t clean up after their pets. Not the case here!

    Super Hosts and beautiful campground!

    I cannot thank Leslie, Frederick and Tom for their support with my RVing needs! We ended up staying an extra night--such a lovely campground with special touches at every site. If we visit again, I would definitely request a back-in site along the river! Just walking along the river pathway was breathtaking! The dog park is huge and has fun obstacle course activities to encourage interactions with pets. Everything about this KOA is great! We took a day trip to the Iron Mountain Hot Springs (fun!) and to the Rifle River water falls (an easy little hike but WOW! Cool water falls and caves to explore!) Come visit this KOA! You won't be disappointed!

    Pioneer Campground — Vega State Park

    Nice cabin rentals in a Colorado State Park

    The cabins are HA and have nice sidewalk paths from the parking lot. Inside a mini fridge, coffee maker, and a microwave are provided. There are 2 bunks in the back and a plastic kitchen table in the "living space." The cabins have nice patio furniture on the front porch, which was a nice touch for a State Park.  The outdoor picnic table and campfire area outside the cabin is large. The five cabins in this area are close together and you can view your neighbors but this was not a problem for us. (It would make for great a trip with extended family or friends.) One may consider the cabin pricey, but it was typical for a Colorado state park.

    During our stay the bathrooms (vault toilets) near the cabins were so full of bees it was like Candyman was also staying the weekend. There are flush toilets and showers next to a small playground closer to the reservoir. A trail will take you from the cabins to the visitor center. While other areas of the park were not full during our stay, I imagine that at the peak of summer the boating and RVing is plenty.
