Both name brand hotels were sold out when I was in the area for work, but I saw "cabin" in the Koa listing on Kayak. Checked it out and was ready to roll with a cabin, but the very last cabin was listed as a caboose. Chance to live a Gen X childhood dream? Yes, please! This is up there with the high end treehouse hotels that are way beyond my budget. Yes, there's road noise from U.S. 50 and an occasional train toot from across the highway, but the historic novelty of getting to stay in a supremely renovated caboose is so very, VERY worth $120-ish per night. It's well-designed (rich, warm hues - yellow, orange and red - offset by decorative teal and royal blue accents) and appointed, complete with (starting from the caboose of the caboose ): a two-headed rainfall shower, early-mid 1900s elevated toilet basin with the tug chain (like the train driver's whistle cord), stained glass window, saloon doors to get in/out of the bathroom area, water pump styled faucet/sink, a mini-ice box fridge that reminds me of the one at my grandparents' house when I was a kid, matching microwave, mid-size TV, pressed-copper ceiling (real metal; definitely not plastic), raw-edged tree cross-section headboard, queen bed, a hammock (my favorite), an upper-bunk that kiddos will surely fight over, opposite side lower bunk, elevated front- and backward seats (where the brake guy used to sit) and an authentic train door as your entrance. What's basically a back yard (broadside, behind the caboose) has a fire pit and Adirondack-ish chairs, so super-cozy on a cool night (firewood's about $7, which I'm pretty sure is normal at any box store). In short, a totally unique experience that meets or beats the more predictable hotel experience and prices. They are intentionally designed to be consistent, while the caboose was designed to be totally different, but in a really cool way that combines rustic with comfort and modernity. I'm just in town to work, so I can't really speak to the other areas of the campground except this one. read more

We'll things started well but went downhill fast. We checked in about 3 on Wednesday . This is Friday at 3:30 and we've had water for 2 hours on Wednesday. Worker hit the main line, shut off water with no warning so couldn't fill fresh tank. Then sold me fire wood that was pressure treated landscape timber. But here's a change again. The girl just came by as I was typing this and refunded 2 days of no water and the firewood. I am understanding that this is a new owner and he's spending money to improve everything. Let's give him a chance. read more

Nice, clean KOA. Very nice people. Love all the trains. Can't wait to stop back and stay in one if the train cars. Conveniently located.

Good camp ground! The tent section is very well separated and spacious. Although there was a huge spider on the pergola. Everything is close together but I would say that it would be better if they added some bathrooms close to the camp area. The bathrooms also are not in the best condition and they kinda smell musty. read more

La Junta KOA - Fire - RV Parks Near Me - La Junta, Colorado

Convenient location for a overnight stay. Pleasant check in staff, trees at most sites. Some sites are more challenging to use, we had a pull through ( site 45). Strong wifi. Walmart just around the corner. Pool looks nice, since Covid you have to make reservations for pool use. read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Tent sites were well kept and perfect for our kids and dogs. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Walmart is literally out back in case you forget anything. Only reason it doesn't 5 stars from us is there were a ton of crickets around camp site and not much to do around town. Overall, great place to go for a quick camping trip. read more

Great KOA! Super friendly owner, Brad. Took the time to show us the fabulous caboose they have converted to a place to stay! If we hadn't been in our trailer, I would definitely wanted to stay in it!!! Our site#57 was the best we've had...our own fenced dog run, outside seating, a Weber BBQ, and our door lighting. Would definitely come back here! read more

Refund policy is theft. Pool is not very clean. Watched people just wander into the campground to use the facility's and leave. Look elsewhere. read more

This is the second time we have stayed at this KOA in La Junta, we were able to rent the "Y" Cabin a second time several years later and they have improved on the property and it was clean, neat, and supplied well. We had a restful night with quiet and safety, along with clean nearby restrooms, and the privacy of our little cabin while still having access to the large pool, laundry, camp store, coffee shop, and full hookup camping sites. They allowed late check in, already had the porch light on as well as the air. They called us to confirm, was kind, and offered directions as most GPS devices/apps do NOT take you to the camp location. Posting various cabin photos, their was only 2 of us, cabin sleeps 6 easy and if younger kids maybe 8? This KOA is located one quarter mile East of La Junta Walmart on US HWY 50, behind the office for Velero Cellular. Not far from mid town, so you can shop or eat in town without much driving. We recommend Village Inn which you could walk to, excellent food see my Yelp review. read more

This KOA should have it's KOA status revoked. Not only was both doors to the cabin/mobile cabin not working even with a key but the outside stairs where rotting and the outside looked like something off a horror movie. It smelled of musty and the wind blew through it. The host and owner is abrasive and hostile and unwilling to work with his guests for subpar cabins or unforeseen circumstances. Holding fast to his policy of no refunds. The camp ground is run down with rotten and broken picnic tables piled up next to the the playground, a train that is under going repairs is the best way to describe it, a rec room that looks like a junk drawer for the whole campground and putt golf course that is non existent, and the playground is lack luster at best. And any time someone tries to ask for any kind of compensation they are given a hostile response and the brush that of "oh yeah another bad review." This is not the response to guest or to customer complaints ever. This owner even went so far is as to says by merely placing or request he had to turn way long time customers. So why rent the room at all? Why blame the guest for your loss of business? Please read this review before you use this KOA. read more

Honestly the worst RV park I've ever been to. Staff is rude, park isn't maintained and entirely too tight. You literally have to have your neighbors move their vehicles just to pull out. I travel for work, was paid up for an entire month and had to leave after 10 days on short notice for another job and didn't receive a penny refund. Save yourself the headache and just got to Pueblo. read more

Noo reason to stay here, this KOA is kaput: No cable hookup, busted pool, a dump of a play area, mosquitoes amok, unkempt lawns & sun-bleached merchandise in the shop. Might as well stay in the Walmart parking lot where they have someone come through to sweep every once in a while. Pathetic place :( read more

I give this KOA 5 stars for best overgrown weeds, used lumber and used fly strips lying around. It was just trashed. The staff was rude when we asked if they wouldn't mind not mowing under our bedroom window. It was good they were mowing the weeds down, I just thought as many empty spots that were around they could have started somewhere else. Even this KOA hasn't quit recovered from covid yet. Just be careful, be sure to watch out when you are walking your pet for fleas and ticks. read more

After reading the comments on YELP I was not looking forward to this stay. However the park must of listened. 5 star experience was from the time we registered. The personnel was gracious. The park was so neat and orderly. The sites were wide enough so we were not on top of our neighbor. An enjoyable experience. read more

Do not stay here long term, owner charged our card multiple times without approval or warning, when asked to explain the charges he couldn't- but still refused to refund anything. Owner is hard to deal with and the campground isn't anything special.. The spaces are tight and even though you're charged for a second vehicle you most likely won't be able it fit it at your site. read more

We stayed one night, and it was a good experience. Office staff was competent and friendly. The restrooms and showers were exceptionally clean, very well done. Play ground and Mini golf for the kids. They were doing some construction and upgrading all the sites while we were there. We got an upgraded site and it was all great. Brand new hookups. Even though it's close to the highway, there was not much noise. The birds chirping woke me up. Plenty of fun things to do in the area as well. read more

The place was a great location for an overnight stop. Personnel was friendly, helpful and oven delivered pizza to us that evening as we were to tired to cook. Very pet friendly- dog run had obstacle course and quality poop bags. read more

3rd time staying here over the last few weeks. It is a very nice escape from the big city. Brad is really nice and helpful. The cabin we stay in is very reasonably priced. It is super cozy. WiFi worked well. The facilities are kept really clean and fresh. The laundry area was clean. The recreation room has had some work and looks pretty neat. Super close to restaurants and stores. read more

Friendly Staff, that's about it. No laundry. Everything is located in difficult to access locations. Site hookups are a nightmare, poorly located, doesn't matter which way you pull in. Rocks and dirt, surprised the trees are not dead. Comparable to a desert dry camp. Better off staying the night in the Walmart parking lot about 200 yards away, save your $50. read more

If your looking long term don't stay here. Way over priced. No customer service. No pool no Wi-Fi as advertised unless your next to the office. Laundry mat was dirty so I took it to town n washed. Weeds ever where. Told me to move 3 different times once was because the electric pole went down but was told I had to move back. No shade in most of the park . you have to pay for electric. Must be a Colorado thing because in the 4 other states I pulled my trailer to for work I didn't have to pay it separate. Only reason for one star is one of the grounds lady gave me a hand for 2 minutes. They can charge do much because if your not willing to drive 35 to 50 miles for work its the only spot. Over 550 bucks for a month is a rip off. Oh and don't take your issues to KOA Corp they tell you not there problem talk to the owners. Owner told me if I didn't like having to move so much I could pack up and leave with out a refund. Never again will you see any money from me. read more

I would not stay there again. Place is rundown and unkept. I've been in better places for 1/2 the price. $59/night for a 50amp site with sewer. They charged an extra $10 for 50amp vs 30amp for one lousy night. Pool is broke and play area is a muddy mess. Flies snd mosquitos galore. Steer clear! read more

We only pulled thru for a night. Booked online, our paperwork was all ready when we got there. Our site was level and the wifi worked. We would stop here again read more
