Raton KOA

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!

The 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.

Good small KOA. People are friendly. Gravel tent sites

This 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

The 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!
