I am not a KOA person, and this was my first visit… I have been on the road a couple of days camping and needed a hot shower. This was a great location with very friendly staff, very clean campground, and everyone staying there was respectfully quiet and also, friendly.

This is a really sweet campsite… With a few sites up top when you enter that overlook the creek and adjacent Ridge, and then many more sides down by the creek. The temperatures are cooling, and I also wanted cell signal so I stayed at the top and had a wonderful view and a wonderful experience.

This is a very cool place. It is high above the San Luis valley, with a great view of the dunes in the distance, and amazing sunsets. If you go, reserve online before you get there or the moment that you get there. It was a little confusing that you couldn’t just pay with cash as we used to be able to do, and you had to find a decent cell signal and go onto recreation.gov, and look at availability, and enter your credit card in, etc. Anyhow, the location is awesome, and would be just perfect if you could just pay cash for those of us that role of the old school way.

This is a great spot tucked away behind the reservoir and along a sweet little creek. I didn’t stay because no one was there this time of year and I had no cell service. Good to know about and will be back!

So this was such a gem to drive up to, the views are just big wowsers. It was a bit late in the season, mid-September, so wasn’t sure what to expect. But the campground is very well-maintained, and there are bare boxes and lots of sites available with stunning views of square top mountain. It was pretty cold, but the sun comes up and warms you up fast. Will be back in the summer with a kayak and plan to do some of the longer hikes to other lakes.

This year, everything is different. It’s off-season, but I still had to wait at 9 AM, for about an hour in a line of 20 cars to get a spot What a gem! But it’s a big campground, so the wait was worth it and I stayed for two days. The sites are very close together, so you don’t have privacy, but folks seem to be very respectful and friendly. You can also have a fire in the fire pit, and it’s outside of the park with excellent views, and access to the national forest easily. Some nearby views below.

What a gem! Drove 20 ish miles along a disolate desert dirt road - well maintained - to arrive on a Friday with no other people around. Four sites very close together (the only downside), all on the river. Lots is small and winding trails all over the landscape to explore. Very close to some of the coolest petroglyphs also. Bathrooms were full of flies though.
