The Central City/Denver West KOA is awesome! The staff are fun, friendly, professional, and always ready to assist you. The laundry room is the absolute cleanest and most modern, and with 7 washers and dryers, one of the largest that I have seen in my travels (and we have been to all 48 lower states and Canada). They deliver firewood, and their store has pretty much anything you might need. The showers/bathrooms are super clean, climate regulated, and bright. There are 2 hot tubs, a playground, and a dog park. On our way out, we used their free air compressor to ensure that our tires were inflated properly for the cold mountain air. We had site #22, a pull-in Patio with a table & chairs, fire ring & Adirondacks, and a stunning view that went on forever! It is convenient to historic Idaho Springs, Central City Casinos, Rocky Mountain National Park, Denver, Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, and many other places worth exploring. We stayed 5 nights. I would have been happy to stay there for a month!

Great KOA with great tent sites (get site T6 if you can!). It's at nearly 9000 feet of elevation, so it's a lot cooler temp-wise than you expect - also no bugs of note (middle of August)! We were able to drive to Boulder from here with great views there and back. I would stay here again. Also the staff were great! And the hot tubs were a nice touch!

Wow! Genuinely such a beautiful place and the staff are beyond kind and helpful. Dre is one of the sweetest people ever and is very patient! James made our breakfast both mornings we stayed ; and I swear it was better than IHOP! Wayne helped us with our maintenance needs and was extremely kind and informative about the area!! We loved staying here and will be back!

We wanted quick camping trip with the family that was reasonably close to Denver. We chose a deluxe cabin at the KOA and it was wonderful. Cabin was great for our family of 4. The price was affordable and the camp grounds had everything and more than I expected. Gift store/ grocery store/ liquor store was fully stocked more than any camp ground that I had ever stayed at. They served pizza and wings at night and pancakes in the morning. Took a dip in their hot tub, played video games and giant checkers with kids. Alot to do. If it wasn't next to the somewhat busy Central City Parkway(quite a bit of traffic noise), this would have been a perfect camping trip.

Our weekend stay was great from the time that we checked in until the time that we checked out. We were greeted as soon as we walked into the office to check in and were helped all the way through that process. Everything that we could have needed or did need was available to us at the office. Our camp site was clean and had great unobstructed views of the mtns and valley from the swing and patio. The campground was fairly quiet which was very nice. After all, isn't that part of the reason that we go camping, to get away from the noise and rat race of everyday life. We will definitely be going back for another stay.

One of the best run campgrounds by far! Organized, friendly and helpful and the "top of the mountain" location can't be beat. Everyone who works there feels like they're part of a family (and makes you feel so too)! Wayne was always there for anything I needed - including a quick "hello and how's your day going?" to Jane and Nicholas going above and beyond when I forgot my keys and was stranded down the road. Top notch all the way!

Central city/ Denver west Beautiful location *BEAWARE** The owner/manager is very hostile, he came pounding on our door Sunday morning with a handful of paper yelling get out of my campground you have 30 minutes to get out. No discussion anything He yanked our power cord out of the power post yelling you have 30 minutes to get out. Seems he had an issue with our surge protector, he didn't like the Hughes autoformer. We have been cross country with that surge protector never had an issue. Wr would have gladly disconnected it had there been sane rational discussion about it. There was a note on the guest guide no voltage regulator allowed but nothing about the Hughes system. Just a heads up folks **BEWARE**

Been coming to Denver West KOA for over 5 years and cannot say enough great things about this place. The Owner is fantastic and so is their very helpful staff. Thanks again for always taking great care of me. See you soon!

We stay at many KOA campgrounds across the US & this campground was outstanding… clean, level sites & wonderful employees & service. A great property. Would definitely stay here again & will recommend to anyone looking for RV sites in the area!

Larry one of the workers here has been very helpful with all questions and helping me with my RV. I’m new to RV’ing. I know they are completing renovations before the season starts, my only recommendation would be more road signs directing traffic where different sites are. They could just be waiting to put them back up.

Our family stayed at this KOA and were very impressed! The location is currently under construction but only a small portion which didn't impact our stay (currently expanding on the far side but on pause during the winter). Otherwise, the views were excellent (site 42), the location was awesome (within 15 - 25 minutes to 3 historic local towns), the amenities were good for the winter and included electric / Sewer with a water fill station, and finally the staff was excellent. I believe his name was Wayne, but the winter caretaker went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and taken care of. Can't say enough and will likely be returning. Also, as a bonus, we were the only campers on the upper portion, and it snowed on Christmas!

Great service even though I never interacted with a staff member there! Sometimes you like to get in, enjoy yourself, and not worry about talking to anyone. The late night check in makes that easy, gotta love it! Great views and the vacation I needed less than an hour away from my city. Check it out!

Excellent place and great staff! As a full-time RVer for four years, we've seen a bunch of campgrounds. This one is a top-five in the US. Amazing views and access to really cool things like gold mines, skiing and wonderful food in Idaho Springs. The family that owns and runs this place is fantastic, supportive and responsive. We stay here all winter and will continue to do so for years.

This is our third time coming here and each experience gets better. Lot #10 gives the best views of Black Hawk and the gorgeous mountainous backdrop. The staff is super courteous and friendly and the RV campground is constantly well-maintained. I highly encourage others with RVs or tents to visit this lovely campground to enjoy both the mountain fresh air and stunning views.
