  • Brownwood, TX

    Nice park for a short stay when travelling through the Brownwood area.

  • Bryan, TX

    Nice place to stay when travelling through the area.

  • Chatfield State Park – Littleton

    We spent 13 days here visiting our son, daughter in-law and grandkids who live only a few miles from the park. Chatfield is a very nice park but it stays quite busy year round so you need to make reservations early.

  • Cheyenne, WY

    Typical Wyoming gravel park with a few extra amenities. Holds up well even in rainy weather.

  • City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico

    This is a unique park in southwestern New Mexico created out of volcanic ash and sculpted into incredible rock formations.

  • Eagle Creek RV Resort, Alto (Ruidoso), NM

    Very beautiful and well run park in the mountains above Ruidoso. April is a great time to visit, before the park fills up with long term summer campers.

  • Elephant Butte, NM

    Nice area in Southern NM for winter stays up to a month. Lots to do nearby with stores and restaurants in EB and TorC.

  • Estes Park, CO

    RMNP is beautiful, especially for an early morning hike. As for Elk Meadow Lodge and RV Resort, I would stay here again but probably as a third choice to Mary’s Lake or the KOA.

  • Fort Collins, CO

    We’d stay in the KOA here again but only after closely looking at other options. Fort Collins is a great place to visit!

  • Galveston, TX

    Among the nicest KOA parks you will find, Galveston Island is a great place to be near the Gulf beaches and Galveston.

  • Hill City, SD

    This is the best commercial park we have stayed at – It’s more like a state park than a commercial park with lots of space between sites and great views. We definitely recommend Rafter-J and we will likely return in the future.

  • Hot Springs, SD

    Nearby to Wind Cave National Park, Cold Brook Lake, Hot Brook Canyon for nice scenery and places to hike. We’d stay here again for a week or so.

  • Interior (Wall), SD

    The park was a bit above average for KOA’s and would be a good place to stay for a visit to the Badlands. We stayed for a week but if we came here again 3 or 4 days would be plenty.

  • Las Cruces, NM

    Nice park on I-10 for a few days to a week. Can get a lot of road noise due to I-10 although we were able to sleep through it.

  • Lusk, WY

    The owners are great and this is good for a one night stop when passing through the area.

  • Mandan (Bismark), ND

    Lot’s of historical significance here! This park has enough going for it that we would stay here again but only if we could reserve a single site.

  • Medora, ND

    OK for a few nights to see the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and maybe take in the show. We likely won’t feel the need to return here.

  • Oasis RV Resort

    A very nice park for overnight or longer stays if you happen to be in the area.

  • Penrose (Colorado Springs), CO

    This is a very nice park but with the distance to stores and lack of reliable communications it might be best for shorter stays.

  • Pierre, SD

    Good place to camp in the Pierre area with views of Pierre and Fort Pierre below the campground.

  • Rapid City, SD

    We could see staying here again for maybe a week but if we wanted to be in the area for longer we’d prefer Spearfish.

  • Raton KOA Journey, Raton, NM

    The Raton KOA is good for an overnight or maybe a few days if necessary. It is typical of places in the area that tend to be basic and a bit dusty.

  • Route 66 RV Resort, Albuquerque, NM

    Very nice park for a night or two while passing through the area.

  • Silver City, NM

    Great park just outside Silver City in the historic southern New Mexico area.

  • Spearfish, SD

    Both Spearfish and the Elkhorn Ridge Resort are places to return to in the future. This would be a good place to stay for the summer!

  • Wheatland, WY

    Good overnight stop for this area.

  • Wolfforth (Lubbock), TX

    Convenient to our doctors and to the south west side of Lubbock and good for stays up to a month.
