This was our 3rd time visiting Gunnison KOA. We have good friends that have summered here for many…read moreyears (3-4 months every summer to avoid the Arizona heat). Dave and staff are great. They are very accommodating and helpful. People have commented about airport noise but it's only a few planes a day and not before 7am. All the sites are grass and trees. Our dog loves the lack of gravel that you usually see in most RV parks. They have a playground for kids and a petting zoo of miniature donkeys that will occasionally be out to socialize.

First, we enjoyed our stay. The KOA recommended this place for our needs. If we could give 4-1/2…read morestars, we would. I'll detail the pros and semi-cons (there aren't any big cons). Pros: 1. The staff is very friendly and helpful. 2. We'd been concerned with the name of the place that it might be filled with political signs (there is a park in Creede that is filled with hateful signage and it was scary, frankly) But there was no evidence of anything political, and everyone we met was nice. 3. We only needed water and electric hookups. They have a few spots like this, which were cheaper and the woman I made the reservation with advised me to wait to come by a few days to save money. The spot was pretty darned flat and, though close to others, worked just fine 4. The spots are shady. Lots of trees. 5. We don't have a dog, but the place is dog-friendly, and people pick up after their dogs well. 6. The women's bathroom was pretty darned clean. One evening there was hair on the shower drain, but they clean in the morning, so no issue. Semi-Cons: 1. The men's bathroom apparently wasn't as well maintained as the women's while we were there. They have 3 shower stalls for the men and just 2 for the women. Two of the men's shower stalls had broken hooks, and one was completely missing a shower head. My husband made due, and I reported the issue to the desk, so hopefully this gets addressed with whoever maintains the men's side. 2. It was extremely muddy when we were there, so we had to watch where we stepped and drove. It would be good if they would replenish the gravel in those areas during conditions like this with monsoon rains. 3. We had two nights with a couple near us running their A/C all night which was annoying. Especially since it was cold outside, like around 40 degrees! They could just open a window? But there's no rule against this. Maybe the noise rule could be expanded on colder nights to cover A/C when not needed? 4. We think blackbirds or woodpeckers ran over our roof every morning and evening for periods, waking us up. No one seemed to know what this was about, and I don't expect them to do anything about it, it was just scary when it first happened and we didn't know what it was. Weird. That's never happened to us before. So, if you hear tiny running sounds while you camp, it might be these ornery birds! :-) 5. The wifi was spotty. I was able to get on a Zoom, but it was a little wonky and on our phones, it was out as much as it was on. Most RV places have this issue, but the other reviews led us to believe theirs was better. Also, not theirs to fix, but AT&T sucks in this area. Better if you have Verizon or T-Mobile from what the office told me. 6. They have a cowboy statue outside the office and they place a radio thingy on it that plays country music all day when the office is open. I used to work in country radio so it doesn't really bother me, but it might bother others, so recommend maybe not playing the radio and let the campers choose what they want to listen to? So, you see, not much in the way of cons. We would go back if they'll have us. Their intent is good.

They truly made this experience your own. They include wonderful things like goat walks, chickens, egg harvesting, and plenty of other things.

Nothing new in them but the price to stay has gone up. The place I stayed in was the most uncomfortable stay I've had since I was overseas in IRAQ for the military. The whole place was very hot and the AC could not keep up at all. Had to sleep in living room on the couch to even stay slightly cool. I was supposed to stay two nights to take care of some family burial stuff and reminiscence on past family gatherings but was cut short because I could not stay in a hot place and get very little sleep a second night. Requested a refund and was but charged a fee to do that. Stayed in town for less price at Wyndham where there was AC and free breakfast. :) Will most likely not stay at BM again unless in cooler months and there are some much needed upgrades. Was disappointed especially after all the years of staying here with so many fond memories with my parents.

The bathrooms are clean. Gunnison also has sooo much to do and offer especially if you're willing to drive an hour or two to explore Crested Butte, Crawford, Lake City, Black Canyon, etc. We saw a few nearby RV resorts and feel like we stayed at the best one with the best views, amount of trees and spacing between sites. Not that there's a ton of space in between but one campsite down the road looked like even less space. Pine Creek Trail is a MUST do. It's about 30 minutes down the road from the site. We will be visiting this place again.

We were right next to the river and it was a really lovely view. Prices were fair. And the camp hosts were welcoming and friendly.

The camp host seemed surprised that we didn't have ability to shower in a RV. We were renting a cabin...... We had been climbing 14ers the last few days and just wanted a shower but alas it was not meant to be. Wish they would have put a sign on the door to explain what was going on instead of just locking the bathroom from the inside. We thought someone had just locked themselves in because of the curtain on the shower i went to ask about it and then was told that the water was out. Just put up a little communication about it to inform your guests :) Otherwise wonderful stay.
