Guide
A large campground at the foot of the southern San Isabel mountain range. When you first drive in there are secluded tent spots, then small cabins. There are many spots all around the lake, with large tenter sites on the opposite bank of the lake. We set up amongst the trees in a relatively open spot but there weren’t many campers there so it was no problem. Had a view of the lake and a vault toilet nearby (it was pretty disgusting). Clean showers/toilets on other side of lake. No picnic table on site, but it did have a box grill and a fire pit — burn ban was in effect though. A little stream nearby. Camp store, restaurant, boat rental on site. In all we were thankful for a spot in the summer with no reservations.
Traveler
Colorado State Parks are expensive. We had a VERY basic site with communal water & vault toilets for $28 + $9 day fee. Nice picnic tables & fire rings though. Way too close to the highway — noisy! Plus helicopter overhead made sleep difficult.
Guide
Clean, friendly, and with all services for $35 a night. We stayed here on route between Texas and Colorado - close to the volcano national park so popped in there too. This is a crushed rock lot with pull through sites - nothing scenic here.
Ranger
We stayed for one night while passing through. This is a great park with beautiful views of the Spanish Peaks. Our site had electric hookup and a dump station is also available. We used ATT for our cell + internet needs (didn't try Starlink since our stay was short). This was our first time in Colorado and we'd definitely stay at this park again
Guide
Easy spot over the border in Colorado. We were there as a jump off to head further West from North Texas area and made it well before dark to hook up. Nice clean park with all the amenities. We had a nice spot on the east side of the park. As someone also mentioned the north west corner of the park is directly across from a horse stable yard and your nose will know that. Tons to do if you like the outdoors in the Spanish Peaks region. We'd stay here again.
RangerLovely weather while I was here very early December 2021. 60s for highs and close to freezing at night. the dry camping loop and loops A B and C are closed for the season. There are very few people here. Only a few other sites are occupied. One day I rode 10 miles on my E bike just on the paved roads around the lake. The next day I rode another eight just on the very smooth and flat concrete sidewalk that also goes all the way around the lake. There are a lot of places that are accessible to wheelchairs. Some sites are very nice, tucked away in the trees, some with a beautiful view of the Spanish peaks. A few sites even get a glimpse of the lake. Some sites are wide open with neighbors that would be right in your face. One night the sunset was totally stunning. I think all sites in loops ABC and D have electricity. There are water Spicket's for everyone's use around the loops. But they are not meant for anyone to hook up a long hose to their RV. When it gets really quiet you can hear Colorado 160 road traffic in the distance. It's quietest in loop D and quite noisy in the dry camping loop.
GuideWe have visited this park several times, in the summer, spring and fall. The campground provides a nice visitors center, two small lakes (one non-wake), a sand beach, paved and unpaved bike trails, fishing, a kids fishing pond, trails, and electric or no-hook-up camping. The campground is divided into three loops with each loop containing flush toilets and shower facilities. A tent-only campground is situated closer to the highway, while the three loops are far from the road and provide ample star-gazing experiences. Favorite spots include 102 (has a great view of the Spanish Peaks), and site 84 (private pull-through with junipers and other short trees to block the road/other campers). I have attended several ranger programs here and hiked on all trails. Playing on the beach and picnicking is enhanced by the water stations to wash off the sand, benches, picnic tables, and shade trees. Kayaking on the no-wake lake is peaceful and fishing is abundant. Bike riding is simple and mostly flat. A fully paved trail circles the lake and is accessible by the campgrounds. A public, 9-hole golf course sits directly next to the park. The course is inexpensive and fun for an afternoon or morning. If you've exhausted all your options at the park itself, head one hour away to the Great Sand Dunes National Park to "surf" on the dunes and learn about this beautiful area. This park truly has a little of everything and while it is one of the oldest state parks in Colorado, it is well-maintained and enjoyable year-round.

We stopped for a night on our way from Great Sand Dunes National Park to Palo Duro Canyon, needing to dump our tanks and do some laundry after boondocking for a number of days. Raton KOA was just what we needed. The staff members were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the laundry facilities did the job. The close proximity to grocery stores was an added bonus!
TravelerThe campground was clean, older but well maintained. It is very much residential though. The neighborhood is very loud. Dogs have been barking for hours. This is out of KOA control but rather annoying.
LegendThe Raton KOA is conveniently located off I-25 in Raton, NM. The campground offers of a mixture of back-in and pull through sites that are a mix of mostly live gravel and dirt. Most sites have 20/30 amp service, water, and septic hookups, although less expensive sites with fewer amenities are also available.
The campground offers a fenced in dog park where the pups can run off leash. There is also a nice grassy walking path around the perimeter of the property with trash cans and dog waste stations positioned every 100 yards.
The campground owner, Grant, is great to work with. He helped us get setup with the park WiFi and was super responsive to any questions we had. Don’t forget to ask him for the WiFi access code when you check in!
TravelerGood small KOA. People are friendly. Gravel tent sites
GuideThis KOA felt a little aged, but it was clean, quiet, and felt safe. We did arrive after a rain storm and our site was mostly a large mud puddle. The parking slots could use a new layer of gravel. There's a smaller playground which are son enjoyed. Across one road was a large field that gave us a view of a balloon festival
Guide
This is an amazing RV Park! The spaces are huge! We are on an end and I think ours is about a quarter acre in size! Really!There are lots of trees around and natural grass growing. There aren’t any shooting competitions going on at the time, so we don’t hear much shooting. There are only about 8 RVs in this 49 space RV area, but I imagine when they have an event going on, the RV Park is much fuller and you would probably hear more gun fire. The views are beautiful!
There is a free museum and a small laundry - 2 washers, 2 dryers.
We are strong believers in our Second Amendment and appreciate the NRA providing this center to teach people the proper handling and use of guns.
TravelerJust a 1 night stay but will return. It has just about everything you need to enjoy a longer stay. Great sites and many are pull through.
ScoutWe were happy with the primitive campsites available. Plenty of wildlife to see around the area and a very quiet place to set up camp.
TravelerUsed Primitive #9 site along the creek. So peaceful and beautiful, trees shielded high winds and the few quick drizzles. Fishing was well above expectations, catching 14 large trout over the 2 night stay between the two of us. Highly recommend. We experienced no mosquitoes and the stay could not have been better!! 1989 Jamboree C-class.
GuideBeautiful small lake. I saw people catch trout. There is a good restaurant. Very cool at night. My sight had 20 amp only but I didn’t need to run AC. Actually used heater in the morning to break the chill. Saw lots of wildlife on my bike ride. No mountain bike trails but I found some pretty scenic riding.
GuideGreat rv or tent sites. Amazing views and fishing
Small store and restaurant on site
Free fishing is usually first weekend in June and the local fire dept hosts a fishing tourney
Sites fill up quickly. Busy on weekends. We prefer Sun-Thur to miss the crowds.
Near Stonewall which has restaurant/small store. Nearby fly fishing at North Lake
Come with a full tank of gas!
TravelerThis lake is in an absolutely beautiful part of the country. The campsites are all situated around the lake and each has a great lake view. Fishing is good as well. Close to a small convenience store and cafe so everything you need is near.
GuideThis little hidden gem is a great way to spend your day. Although the site closes at dusk, there is plenty of time in the day to squeeze the juice out of this little alpine oasis. Fishing is allowed from shore, dock, boat or ice fishing during the winter months. Parking is easily accessible and free. This is a great place to picnic, cook out, drop a line in the water or hit a few laps around the lake on foot. Don’t pass through the front range without making a stop here. One word describes this place... Relaxing. An added bonus is that the Mt. Herman trailheads are a 5 minute drive away!
GuideBasic camping was good. Clean site. The electric sites fill up quickly. Staff was nice and helpful at station. Pit toilet was clean. Winds were forceful and crazy at night. Maybe a storm was coming. I would stay here again. (Nice towns close by.)
GuideWe didn’t go very far in but the park has some beautiful views, including a lake we could walk to from the campsite. We stayed at the Yucca Campground which was great and the spots were nicely spaced out. It was a little challenging to find a good flat spot to set up our tent and the spot we did find didn’t last long, it got VERY windy that night and we had to move our tent between some trees which helped a little. The bathrooms are hole in the ground outhouses and were quite smelly and loaded with flys but that’s camping for ya!
GuideClean campground and restrooms. Great views of Spanish peaks
TravelerYou need to pay for site, $9 entrance fee, and showers (50 cents for 4 minutes, etc.).
Lake for fishing, jetskiing, swimming. Hogback Trail and other trails. Golf course for campers (prob for fee; looked quite nice!).
The pit toilet in Yucca Campground is basically clean and without odor, but they must have chosen the cheapest and lowest ones available. See pic.
The bathrooms in Pinon were flush. This is where showers were located as well.
Stayed in Yucca. My site was private on three sides but one side was open to rest of sites. Easily fixed if you set up tent there. Site 3 has nice elevation.
GuideNice, clean park. Pretty views, great swim beach. Didn't try the fishing. Nice space between sites BUT site # 7 looked liked the "Amityville Horror", being infested by biting flies. Would come back except for the almost 3 hour drive might be a deal breaker.
LegendBeautiful site located within walking distance to lakes and a golf course on property. Wide spacious site with power only. I little windy but the location is worth it!
LegendFantastic park. One of our absolute favorites. Excellent trails and a ridge to climb, as well as stellar views of the Spanish peaks. Excellent scenic drives are not far away.
