What a wonderful KOA to stay at! The cabins are so clean, warm, and cozy. The cabin comes stocked with dishes, paper towels, dish soap, a microwave, a mini fridge, a dining table, chairs, and a bathroom and shower. The check in / out process is super simple and there's complete privacy offered. We loved the 'all you can eat' pancake breakfast too. Great location. Respectful neighbors.
Wonderful location, we loved that we were so close to walking trails. The campground was clean and the staff was very nice. We loved the store, it stayed open late and had almost everything that you may need.
This is my first visit to a KOA campground and I was very impressed and would highly recommend a stay here. The views of the mountains and the surrounding area are incredible, you can see for miles and miles! The campsites are very clean and the amenities are great… there are bathrooms with showers and flush toilets, there is a laundry, 2 indoor hot tubs , a dog park, lawn games , a fully stocked gift shop and store, a recreation room AND you can have pizza or wings delivered to your trailer! The staff is very kind, helpful and fun. This is a must stop while in the Central City/ Blackhawk area.
We stayed at the campground in July 2023 in a 32' Class C motorhome pulling a small car. We were in campsite #2, a pull-in campsite overlooking the Central City area. Campground, store, and laundry area were great. Only "issue" was the route to get onto Central City Parkway to head back to I-70 was a little confusing as cannot leave the campground the way you enter the campground (no fault of the KOA campground). The Hidee Gold Mine tour was close by and well worth the time (be prepared for a rough road to get to the parking area). Central City was not worth the time to visit - very little to see other than casinos.
