This is a great campground. The owners are terrific and very accomodating. We are tent campers and the tentsites were large, include a picnic table and fire ring and were very convenient to the front office and showers. The bathroom and showers were clean. The campground has a wonderful area offering gas grills for use for campers and an area with adirondak chairs around a gas firepit. The front office includes snacks, gifts, ice, etc. Campgrounds with tent sites are hard to find these days. This was a terrific find!

Basic RV spot, had separate patio which was nice. Only had 30 amp service at my spot. Dirt/gravel road. Had bathrooms, play area for kids, no pool. New owners trying their best to make improvements.

We enjoyed an overnight stay with convenient highway access at a lovely little campground. They have a pleasant front office with a selection of unique gifts. The staff, or perhaps the owners, were very pleasant and welcoming individuals. If you are seeking a convenient stop with easy highway access, I highly recommend visiting. The campsites are generously sized; we had no difficulty accommodating our 43-foot fifth wheel and a 350 F, with ample space available.

We can’t thank the Rawlins KOA team enough for their kindness and flexibility! Our travel companions had unexpected vehicle trouble on our trip, and they went out of their way to make last-minute arrangements for us. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming, understanding, and made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. The campground was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained (store is adorable), but what truly stood out was the care and hospitality of the owners. We’re so grateful for their help and highly recommend this KOA to anyone passing through Rawlins!
