Gunnison KOA Journey
Escape the heat in cool Gunnison, where the average July high temperature is 80 degrees.
"Come and watch the grass grow" is the slogan at the Gunnison KOA. Mom, Dad, children and dogs will enjoy camping on the 100% grass-covered sites. Unique to the West, this KOA has an abundance of water to provide green grass for camping. Take off your shoes and enjoy the blades between your toes. Blue Mesa Reservoir, the largest body of water in Colorado, is so close you can feel the fishing and water recreation from 8 miles away. Children and adults will enjoy the weekend petting zoo. Fish, bike, hike, raft and shop within minutes of this quiet campground. The campground has a stocked trout pond, and you can catch-and-keep for a fee. The wildflowers in nearby Crested Butte are spectacular! This is a unique camping experience. Max pull thru: 100 feet. Your hosts: Dave, Susie and Michael Taylor.

Stayed in the basic cabins (not the deluxe). Writing this review because the website wasn't very clear about what was available at the campsite. For the overall site, lots and lost of animals. Tons of mini donkeys and goats that roam freely. Mini horses, cows and pigs in gated areas. We really enjoyed this and found that unless you were eating outside and dropping food, they kept to themselves. Very nice grassy areas to sit. Small playground (swings and sandpit) with covered deck to sit. The "kamping kitchen" consisted of a stove top and sink under a covered area outside. You had to provide all utensils, cooking materials and obviously food. There was a gameroom and laundry room but we didn't enter or use these. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned once a day. They weren't the cleanest, but I've also seen worse. I'd say they were fairly middle but would definately wear shoes in the shower and not expect great cleanliness. Cabins are a- frames and very minimal. Two twin size mattresses on wooden frames that can be moved, small table attached to the wall that can't be moved, small plug in space heater and box fan. There is one electrical outlet and lightswitches for lights. Some hooks and a broom. Mattresses are not comfortable, and I would recommend bringing a sleeping pad if you have one. You need sheets or sleeping bags. It did get very muddy in our area. KOA is a nice distance from town/outside activities. It is close to an airport, but we were usually gone before anything happened with noise. Good for the price. Only interacted with staff 2 times but they were friendly and helpful.

This was a unique KOA stay with a menagerie of farm animals consisting of pot belly pigs, goats, calves, and donkeys. They kept the kids and our dog entertained. The staff was friendly and general store well stocked. The bathrooms were modern, but laundry room was in dire need of a good cleaning ceiling to floor. The grassy areas and tall shade trees were nice and the dog run run would be great if it were not overgrown with knee high grass. There is a really nice playground and fishing pond too. The sites are gravel, the roads are dirt and has full hookups. This was a nice stay and I would recommend for any size rig or tent camper.

Well kept campgrounds with clean facilities, off-leash dog park, and a special surprise - farm animals to pet. People running the place are very friendly. However, be aware: if you are at a tent site, you will be next to a fairly busy road and an airport. Each morning we were woken up by the thundering sound of a few outgoing flights. It was loud enough to get us up at 6 am. Overall a quiet airport the rest of the day. I don’t believe the people in the cabins/RVs were affected by those noises.

This place is amazing. Best TENT camping stay of our trip. Would definitely stay here again. Grounds are very well maintained. Showers are clean. Staff is friendly. Location is fantastic. One warning, it is right by the airport, so don’t be surprised when the 7:30am Delta flight takes off!

We're here now and leaving in the morning. This is a nice place. Dave's (owner) a good guy. This RV Park is well taken care of, it's quiet, and the restrooms are clean. The animal farm adds a "neat twist" to things. Dave's a busy guy and I watched him take the time one day to give the kids in the park a ride on the pony. The only set back to this RV Park is the location of the dog park, but the way this place is set up, it doesn't matter.
