I wasn't very impressed with this park. The spaces feel small and everything is grass. Ponds on the property were scummy looking, which probably contributed to the mosquitos. It's ok for an overnight, but for the price, too expensive to stay long term. There's good stuff nearby like Blue Mesa Reservoir, the Gunnison river and Hartman Rocks Rec area. It's maybe a mile from highway 50 on the west side of Gunnison.

Nice park with grassy pull throughs and back in sites. Clean facilities. Good internet connections. We had a electric/water site and used the dump before we left the park. Close to town. We pulled in on Memorial Day without reservations and had choice of many sites.

I stayed here several days and used it as a base camp for day trips.
Pricey but a good choice. Gunnison is big enough to have many restaurants. I was here to fish and there is even a stocked pond next to the camp.
Say trips include the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, fishing lakes, and old mining towns.
Nice people and a petting zoo full of animals to visit.

Outer double spaces are great and spacious. The whole place is grass with a weedy field near the cabins. BEWARE our hitch was stolen off the ground while we were gone so hide anything valuable or important. There are donkeys and a pony roaming around all day, hanging out at campsites. Very nice staff, very clean restrooms/shower. In June it was pretty full but VERY quiet at night. Some mosquitos, not bad but it has been windy a couple days. Lots of standing water here so they get pretty bad at sunset. Great place for dogs.

This was a typical journey KOA with a friendly staff and cute farm animals around. My only issues were that the water/electric sites share hookup posts, so you end up facing your neighbor (patio side to patio side) if you back in. Airport was quiet at night but loud in the AM. Also, checkout is 11am, but they clean the bathrooms starting at 10am, which is no fun if you wat to use the restroom before hitting the road.

First- it is very close to the airport runways. If you have skittish pets this is not a good campground for you.
The campground also has donkeys and goats roaming- my dog is a poop eater so it made things interesting.
The sites are normal size for KOA, on watered grass. No issues with the hookups noted in previous reviews, they were on the correct side. Easy in and out.
Laundry was average price and showers were clean and nice. Dog walk area was weedy.
Wifi was good but used Starlink.
