    The crowded KOA vs staying nearby on BLM land. Both photos taken at sunrise.
    Aiko M.

    2.5 stars, rounded down. Of the three KOAs I have stayed at so far, Newton was my favorite and this one was "just okay". I didn't make a reservation because I wasn't sure how far west we were going to make it yesterday (we debated the Fort Collins KOA in Colorado, but that would have added an additional 100 miles to our drive today). Our goal has been 500 miles a day and this was the perfect stop. This is one busy hub! There were so many sites occupied by vehicles especially with CA plates. It was literally just a place to stay for the night as the amenities are low. There's no water feature, but there's a few spots for dogs (2 open dog runs and an off-leash area, but none are shaded). Our site was just off the highway. It was very noisy especially outside the RV. It was a tad frustrating to find our spot ourselves; we got used to the office clerk hopping into a golf cart to escort us like at the other two locations. I did see two golf carts later when walking our dogs; not sure why they didn't help us but we did pull into the wrong spot. The people who were supposed to be in it were gracious and laughed with us. My husband said "2 stars!" because the wifi kicked off after 30 minutes, but we both got a solid sleep. It was windy and rainy. The thunder was enough to keep the girls huddled up in the RV so neither had interest in the dog park. Overall, I would rather stay on BLM land in the area (we stayed near the off-ramp to Bandit Fireworks in Wamsutter) like we did the first leg of the trip. Pros: - friendly - clean restrooms - individual shower stalls show "occupied" or not - grill menu until 6 pm Cons: - spots are VERY close together - lots of highway noise - wifi didn't work

    We stayed here several years ago when the owners were engaged, attentive, and cared about their…read morefacilities. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the friendly staff and amenities like a loaner vehicle, etc. Our most recent stay was a different story. There are new owners who recently acquired the facility from some careless previous owners who had let the place go downhill. Many of the fun things we enjoyed before were in bad shape or just not working. The new owners apologized for the "mess" and assured campers that they are working on restoring the campground to it's former glory. They were working on several items that we noted, like the mini golf, and the abundance of sticker weeds throughout the park area. One thing I regretted about our stay was that the office chose to park someone directly next to us for our single night stay when there were very few occupants and many many sites to choose from. At the very least, they could have separated each camper with an empty space in between. I understand if they were super busy and had most sites occupied, but there was hardly anyone there and we suddenly had a direct neighbor. I'm hopeful that they will be able to turn things around. I plan to check back in with them when I pass through the area. Their pricing was less than the adjacent RV park, that did not seem to offer much more.

    This property needs a lot of work, and the new owners are working to upgrade the grounds and…read moreamenities. The restrooms and showers are very nice, clean, roomy, and well appointed. The staff is more than accommodating and works hard to provide good service. One thing I would recommend to them, though, is to keep the office open more.
