Alamosa KOA Journey

I recently stayed at the **Alamosa / Great Sand Dunes KOA** and had a very good experience overall. Getting into the park and parking the RV was easy thanks to the spacious roads. My 50-amp pull-through site was large enough to accommodate opposing slides, and I didn't even have to disconnect my truck. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they escorted me directly to my site, which made check-in quick and stress-free. The full hookups were conveniently located, worked perfectly, and were easy to connect. The Wi-Fi was surprisingly good—I was able to get some work done from my site without any issues. I also appreciated the trash pickup right at the campsite. The bathrooms were clean, although they are starting to show their age. The pool was clean, well-maintained, and looked inviting. Noise levels were about what you'd expect for a campground located near the interstate—not overly disruptive but noticeable at times. Overall, this is a well-run campground with spacious sites, friendly staff, reliable amenities, and a convenient location for visiting Great Sand Dunes National Park. I would definitely stay here again.

WONDERFUL OASIS NEAR THE GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE The Alamosa CO KOA has been an excellent stop as we visited the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. We were greeted right at our truck and escorted to our site right away. There are views of the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains and you can even see the dunefield off in the distance. We were able to catch up on some laundry, visit the National Park, walk our dogs, and swim in the crystal clear pool. There were sand boards to rent for some fun on the dunes. We enjoyed a great pizza our last night so we had no cooking or dishes. The staff has been top notch…so kind and full of information. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the Alamosa KOA while tent camping with our 2- and 4-year-old, and overall it was a great stop for families. The campground has two restroom buildings—one near the office/store and another in a cabin-style building. Our campsite was almost exactly between them, so both were an easy walk. The bathrooms were clean every time we used them. The only issues we noticed were that the cabin bathroom door was difficult to latch (I had to lift up on the bottom of the door to get it to lock), and the sink drained slowly if the water was left running for a while. I only noticed this while washing my kids’ hands because they tend to leave the water on longer than adults. There is also a large dishwashing station with a deep sink and a movable sprayer, which was really convenient after meals. The water was cold, but I was still grateful to have a dedicated place to wash dishes. We didn’t use the laundry facilities, so I can’t comment on those. Although the campground is close to a main highway, the trees and buildings between the campsites and the road did a surprisingly good job of buffering the noise. Traffic never bothered us while we were camping or sleeping. The playground was one of the highlights for our family. It was thoughtfully designed for younger children, and that made a huge difference. Instead of steep ladders or features that required a lot of coordination, many of the climbing elements were gently angled and easy for our 2-year-old to navigate. Both of our boys, ages 2 and 4, were able to play independently without needing help getting around the equipment. I stayed nearby, of course, but it was wonderful to watch them confidently explore the playground on their own. There was also plenty of shade from the surrounding trees, which made it comfortable even during the warmer parts of the day. The only downside for tent campers was the tent pad. Ours was mostly gravel, which made it difficult to drive tent stakes into the ground and uncomfortable to sit on inside the tent. We slept on an air mattress and our kids were in Pack ‘n Plays, so it didn’t affect our sleep, but campers sleeping directly on the ground would probably find it quite uncomfortable unless they bring extra padding. I’d also recommend bringing a comfortable rug or mat for inside the tent—it would make the space much more pleasant for sitting and playing. Overall, we’d happily stay here again. It’s a clean, family-friendly campground with a great playground and thoughtful amenities that made tent camping with young kids much easier.

My wife and I stayed with her parents at one of the group rv sites. It was wonderful. Love how they have it set up so you can face the other camper. Service was excellent, and they were very thorough explaining everything. I highly recommend renting boards from them as well if you plan on visiting the sand dunes. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We stayed in one of the deluxe cabins and really enjoyed it. It was so cute on the inside with all of the amenities you could want. A small stove, a nice shower and bathroom, a stove and a refrigerator. There is a nice size table that’s great for meals or for playing games. And the whole place smells like the forest since it's built of pine. The bed was very comfortable, and the cabin has its own heater and AC as well. The view is beautiful, so having large windows was a bonus. The sky gazing is top notch at this place. They have a little viewing platform you can walk to but just looking up in front of the cabin was fantastic. We also love that this KOA generates all their own electricity with solar panels. Overall a great place with friendly staff and the cabin gave us the feel of camping with the comforts of home!
