KOA sign on highway. Turn west on CR 23 off Hwy 550 (4 miles north of Ouray or 6 miles south of Ridgway).
This is a great campsite. First time staying at a KOA. Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were great! Nice and toasty, plenty of hot water, good showers. Outdoor sink for washing dishes. Good wifi. Cell signal was also good for T-Mobile via Google Fi. Conveniently located with accessibility to the Million Dollar Highway (15 minutes)and Telluride (58 minutes). Clean and well maintained. Our camp spot had power, which was unexpected. Also had a fire pit ring and a picnic bench. Dog friendly. Would definitely stay again
We had a delux cabin since we were staying a whole week and I have zero complaints. The Cabin was perfect for my wife and I. The price was much cheaper than hotels in town and I would take my own cabin over that any ways.
I’d go here again! The campgrounds were overall clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and the store well stocked.
My only complaint is the bathrooms: they probably should be cleaned multiple times a day. The floors were often sopping wet from the shower, wads of hair on the shower floor and loads of flies. (There was a piece of trash next to the toilet in a particular restroom when I arrived on Sunday and it was still there when I left on Tuesday…
Also worth noting: the office/store closes at 5PM everyday but there’s a gas station right down the road and it’s open later if you need to grab something. (Picture is T-15. Back area of the campground next to the dog park. No shade from the summer heat, but it was fine!)
Campsite #55 was a tiny patch of barren dirt with absolutely no privacy. They pack you in very tight at this campground - sardines come to mind. They did provide a picnic table, so we had THAT going for us.
Further, when they put you in a campsite immediately across from the horse stable, you're gonna smell horse poop for your entire stay. We did. Horse poop attracts flies. The same flies kept visiting us during our stay. At one point we made the mistake of leaving our vehicle windows open during the day. Our truck later was filled with flies when we got in to leave for town.
The stable help had a daily habit of bringing the horses across the road right next to our campground to wash them down. Nothing like watching a horse getting a bath just a few feet from you while you are eating your dinner.
Oh, and we paid $75/day for the privilege of experiencing all of the above.
We felt extremely out in nature while still being close to the town. The sites were very nice and fit our 28ft travel trailer easily. They were able to put us next to our other party who also enjoyed the stay. We spent 3 nights there and it was a great experience. No problem with water pressure or septic. The mountain views are great and the place is full of large pines. Nice creek around the campground and several amenities to take advantage of. We had a great time.
