Carbondale / Crystal River KOA Holiday

RV Park

Overview

We invite you and your family to enjoy one of our 13 authentic old-west log cabins, 24 RV sites and 15 tent sites! An intimate Rocky Mountain campground set on the banks of the Crystal River just south of Carbondale, CO.

We are located on Colorado Highway 133, only six miles from the sophisticated town of Carbondale and its fine restaurants, 19 miles from the many activities of Glenwood Springs and 35 miles from the world-famous resort town of Aspen.    

This is a place so beautiful that you won't want to leave, and you'll find so many nearby attractions and activities that you'll want to make time for them all. From your cabin, RV or tent site, you will enjoy spectacular views of 12,965-foot Mount Sopris and a half mile of frontage along the truly beautiful Crystal River, where you can stroll along the banks and watch for birds and cast a line for trout.You can access the paved walking/biking Crystal Valley Trail right at the campground entrance and follow it to the Rio Grande Trail that runs from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Hiking, hunting, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, jeep tours, golf, and fly-fishing are favorite activities.

CARBONDALE/CRYSTAL RIVER KOA makes a great base for exploring the western slope of Colorado. Scenic drives on excellent roads will take you to Glenwood Springs and its famous hot springs and many other family activities; to the world-famous ski/resort town of Aspen; to the quaint town of Redstone, with its famous castle; to the historic mining town of Marble that supplied stone for many Washington DC buildings and monuments; and to the lively town of Paonia, with an intriguing mix of wineries, orchards and art galleries.

Staff was amazing! Campgrounds were the same. Stayed in tent site TB and had a beautiful view of the mountain along with Crystal River. We hated to leave. Most definitely will come back and recommend to friends.

We absolutely loved our stay at the KOA in Carbondale! We rented one of the cabins right on the river, and honestly, this place felt like a dream. Everything was so clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. The cabin was comfortable, peaceful, and had the perfect mix of camping and convenience. Falling asleep to the sound of the river and waking up to the mountain views was incredible. The entire property was stunning, and you can tell so much care goes into keeping everything nice for guests. We loved every second of our stay and truly did not want to leave. This was one of those places that instantly makes you start planning your next trip back before you even leave. Thank you for such a wonderful stay — we will absolutely be back soon!

We had a peaceful stay at the Carbondale KOA Holiday. Great location by the river and very quiet. The RV park was clean and the dog park was a big plus. We would definitely stay again.

We picked this KOA because it was just outside Aspen and this KOA did not disappoint. The buildings, bathrooms, cabins, and walkways were very well maintained. The cabin was clean inside, comfortable to sleep in, and no pests were evident. The bathrooms were very clean and were comfortable. The grounds were maintained and made walking around enjoyable. The camp store was friendly and offered many essentials. The KOA was sat on the Crystal River. The river was accessible and you can easily go for a swim. The river was about a foot deep at the time too. The town of Glenwood springs was nearby and you can get food and other things from there. Aspen was about an hour near as well. Visiting aspen and Glenwood were the perfect day trip ideas. Carbondale did have dinner options and that we had ordered in as well. Overall, I would stay in this KOA again. The price was decent, views incredible, the stay was relaxing, and it made the perfect home base.
