We stopped at this KOA to use their RV dump and fill with water. They charged us $15 to use the dump, and then told us that they could not allow us to fill our fresh water tanks unless we stayed the night. The water system was obviously turned on, because several campers parked in the overnight sites were connected... More

Before kids we did a lot of backpacking and more remote camping, so campground camping always makes us nervous. HOWEVER, this place is great. Most of the tent sites are on the edges of the campground so you actually have rock and tree coverage making it feel a lot more like being in the woods. The sites are really clean... More

This Koa has a great location and nice secluded spots. However, new owners have taken over in past 10 or so years everytime I go I am treated like crap. Sara the owner treats "guests" like little children and runs the place like a plantation owner when it comes to the staff. She is a witch, and has ruined my... More

Great location, just couldn't get over the smell of the horses wafting through the rv sites. The staff were great, and The View was amazing. We found the sites to be well spaced and the hookups were good. Really enjoyed the staff.

We were camping by tent and our campsite was up toward the top. From where we were, we could enjoy view of surrounding peaks and sunset while having our dinner and drinks at the picnic table. It's one of the cleanest campsites I have ever stayed in. It's our first time camping with our children, the cleanliness and amenities made... More

My family spent a week participating in the Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity for five days. The supervisor for HFH told us the KOA Buena Vista had cabins that we could stay in during our visit. The cabins were clean with electricity to charge our phones, cameras and computers overnight. They also had a great fan to keep the room... More

I'm not sure what others are talking about with crabby staff. We didn't encounter one person who was rude! They were all excellent. This was our first camping trip. The bathrooms were very clean (one staff member was even cleaning up the mud and mentioned she loved seeing the mud in there b/c it meant the received the rain they... More

We arrived after a 2+hour drive and pulled up to the campground office. I decided to turn around so we could park our travel trailer out of the way. Before I could get turned around, we had a guy on foot and another guy on a golf cart chasing us down as if we broke a law or something. He... More

We stayed at the KOA campground in 2011 for several days and had a great time. We had a good breakfast each morning at the bunk house before we started out for the day. They have a great location with many things to see and do in the area, the owners were very friendly and accommodating.

We checked in and tried to change our campsite due to it being very small and having a very short driveway which put us close to the road with a 3 and 5 year old. I asked politely to switch and was told "As the owner it is my prerogative to assign campgrounds as I see fit" and refused to... More
