Salt Lake City KOA

\*No one has been their best during the shutdown of 2020\*  
  
We chose this location because it was right downtown and close to the zoo.  Having a full group of 3 kids (5 &amp; under) 3 dogs, 3 adults, and a cat we need some things that others don't "need."  We also run our company from the road so we need space, a place to play, and great WIFI.  These are the basis of our reviews.  
  
This KOA was run down, dirty and nothing was open due to the shutdown.  The wifi wasn't very good.  We won't stay here again because it doesn't meet our needs.  It is a great place to stop for a night, get up, and go.  Other than that....nah!  
  
Things we loved:

*   The staff was incredible, fun and friendly.
*   20 minutes from the zoo.
*   Dog wash and park
*   Mexican restaurant 

Not so much:

*   Dirty, unkept 
*   Wifi was horrible
*   No public bathrooms (pandemic)
*   EXTREMELY HIGH water pressure

The Zoo

Might be good if you're in an RV but there is constant train and road noise all night long. They should move the tents off the fence line and away from the road...

You are in a weird location right off the public transport and really close to the airport while next to a fairground (thankfully nothing was going on, but heard it can be overwhelming) and off a busy road which is almost downtown...but it does make it very convenient. (although the neighborhood could use a bit of a facelift)

Staff was very nice, but they don't have as many "amenities" as other KOAs, but you make up for them with the location.

Weird location and not really for tents at all...

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay the night at Salt Lake City KOA! I was trying to find a location that wasn't too far away from central Salt Lake City but wasn't right down town, that's when I came across the Salk Lake City KOA! After a long drive there is nothing better than a relaxing shower. The showers have a combination lock to prevent non campers from being able to use the showers. There is a wonderful dog run made more for littler dogs, but its still a great addition. KOA has a convince store available at the entrance with a very kind staff! There is a wonderful pool and hot tub! If you're late or arrive after hours don't worry about it. For your convince there is an after hours pick up box at the back of the building by the pool. If you made reservations you can pick up your information packet or pay for a space all at the after hours box! If you need help they do have staff on hand 24 hours. I loved the way this camp site is laid out, the tents are in one section and the campers have their own area. It is pretty common to see hammocks around this KOA, they have the best trees for it! The only complaint I had was the noise, but if you bring ear plugs that isn't an issue! This KOA has the cutest cabins of all sizes!

I loved staying here and will for sure stay there again! My camp site is in these photos my friend was just really good at taking down camp before I could take a photo. I forgot to mention there is full hookups for trailers and free WIFI. You can also find lots of good places to eat around this KOA!

Great Location ... but loud 

This is a well cared for campground, with a playground for the kids.... all newer Rv's I think they have a age limit on your Rv so better call ahead to see.. nice and clean

Nice Family Park

This campground is surrounded by inner city-like activity. The common areas were filthy and staff didn’t seem concerned. We were there for a Month, so I got a good representative time period. It’s close to the train to downtown which was good. The hot tub was old and very small and shallow...and not very hot.

Close to downtown 

We came in at midnight on our way to Colorado. It was an easy check in process and they gave us a map to our campsite. We called ahead just to make sure we knew where to park and the night watch was able to get us settled. 

We did wake up to the sounds of the street behind us and happened to come on lawn service day next door but other than that it was a pretty nice spot for a rest. 

Came late, left early  

This was our first KOA campground. Overall, we thought it was very nice and would return. Definitely a family orientated campground with lots of activities from swimming to basketball to a game room with free games! We were on Site#722. Level spot. Not much room for our Toad but we made it work. Asphalt driveway with trees and grass patio. Pretty close to neighbors. Laundry room was large and every machine worked. There is a dog park with Astroturf that smells on hot days. But it's a good space for the pups to exercise. Also has a very nice dog wash station several people took advantage of. AT&amp;T and T-Mobile Cell Service worked great. Cable and WiFi also available. We had to extend our stay by 2 days waiting on a package to arrive. Which their office gladly accepts package deliveries. Nearby to restaurants and shops. Only Con was we were there during the Hive Music Festival and the music was thumping and could be heard from our site for two days. Just an FYI to check the concert schedule at the Fair Grounds if that would bother you. We have a white sound machine which helped. We camped at Salt Lake City KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

First KOA Experience

One of the nicer KOAs. Lots of amenities (hot tub/clean bathrooms/showers/dog park/trash/laundry). The truck/tent stalls have nice tall shrubs dividing them for extra privacy. 

Be warned, if is NOT quiet - there are multiple trains/sirens/large semis blowing by all night.  It was about $75 for a single night, but our original spot fell through and they were able to accommodate us last minute. 

Great stop off, spendy but nice (and loud)

The tents sites are along side the busy road so it got pretty noisy. But there is an amazing Mexican restaurant right next to the campground. 

Next to the road

Another reviewer mentioned it’s one of the nicer KOA parks and we would agree. The pictures with trees on each site are accurate and the amenities are good. The games room and pool were closed for the season but we had fun with polypong and basketball (court lights up at night) and they’ve modernized the shower facilities. Didn’t use the laundry. Hot tub didn’t look at all inviting although it was apparently still on. 
Sleep was not great with the freight trains blaring through the night and the city bus stop on the other side of the fence. Gave it a three star for that - apparently the KOA business model is to buy up cheap land around train tracks  and this fits.
There are lots of full time residents around (interesting to see how massive this park is) and there is a security guard on at night. 
We’d planned on switching to the state park but found it lacking compared to this. 
Convenient enough location for visiting the city. The staff worker we met was so unenthusiastic about her job that it was funny. Lots of sites available at this time of year but they turn the water off to the tent/small RV ones (was fine for us as we had a full tank). 


Pretty KOA in somewhat dodgy area

It’s off season for being in this RV park but it was perfect for a quick stop over. The check in was quick and easy. The staff was very helpful and answered all of our questions. The facilities were clean. The hook ups worked great even in the snow. We weren’t bothered by the train noises as other reviews stated. This place was close to a lot of down town spots. The KOA has night time security and the bathrooms all have codes to get in, which is nice. Would definitely recommend.
