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.

Hangs down my favorite staycation if you you want 2 beds and river front cabin 7,8,9,10 all good. No smoking. Leash dog friendly. Such a nice place to write, paint, or be creative.

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.
