Nice location, quiet, and convenient to I-40. Many mobile homes are junkers, few rules, mostly unenforced. Many junker RV's. Rate is a guess, we stayed a month for $300.00. Owners pleasant. Would not go back unless we had no other choice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
KOA gives out an annual award to the best KOAs, called the President's Award. I would nominate this campground for the Janitor's Award, but I don't want to insult the janitor. We made our reservations far in advance but, when we arrived here, they told us we might have trouble getting into our site because of overhanging limbs. When we got to the site, we were able to dodge the limbs but that wasn't the only thing we had to dodge. This campgroud is so tight, and so jam packed, we were dodging other vehicles along the roadway and, we we got to our site, we had to dodge literally a year's supply of dog crap (a big dog). Then we went to hook up the sewer hose and notice that the sewer connection was at least 40 feet back of our motorhome. We then turned on the water and it was chocolate brown. (We remembered another camper saying the sewer was "bubbling over" at this place and that got our thoughts going.) Then, as we were finally getting settled in, we noted airplanes coming right over the top of our motorhome. Seems we were in the glide path for a local airport. We thought we had seen the worst, but we were wrong. That night we were treated to a symphony--a symphony of truck noises from the interstate on one side of the campground, and a railroad track with frequent trains on the other side of the campground. If you have a choice between camping in the middle of a collapsed septic tank and this campground, pick the septic tank. You will like it better. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is conveniently located off I-70 east of Denver. The staff is helpful and courteous. The sites are level, CATV and WiFi all work. On the north border, about 50 yards from the campground, is an active railroad track. A train rolled through at 9:45 PM and 2:30 AM. The train's vibrations did rattle the windows in our unit. Unfortunately, there isn't much to choose from to camp overnight in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pulled in after a day's drive through Kansas with severe windstorms in West Kansas. Staff very helpful and nice. A snowstorm was due so we stayed for four days. Everything worked well at our site. I don't know why some campers fuss about trains. It's not like it runs through the town hourly. There was 1-2 trains around 8-9AM and a couple in the evening. The whistle blows about three times and if you have the radio or TV on that's about all you hear. Very easy in and out. They are making improvements in this KOA all the time (stayed here one night in 03/08 also). Most KOA's are tight and cramped. This KOA handles our truck and 5th wheel easily (about 65'). Would stay here anytime. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I must admit that my overall experience at the Strasburg KOA was not a very good one. The campground is a charming place with lots of trees on the otherwise bare plains of Colorado. It is located about 30 minutes east of Denver, but there are very few campgrounds to be had. The campground was clean, and had lots of room to move around. The staff was friendly and courteous. Now for the bad news. We pulled in and got hooked up to our site with no problems. About ten minutes later, the water started to boil out of the sewer hook-up. I'm not really sure what happened, all I know is that I had not even opened any of my valves yet. They offered to move us to a different spot, but we had plans and no time to move. The other drawback of this campground is the TRAINS. There were trains running a stone's throw from our campsite. We will only camp here again as a last resort. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The hosts were very nice people. I little noise from I70 but would one expect that. They made me a great mocha the morning we left. The town of Strasburg, is small, but they have a great Mexican restaurant. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The office was closed when we pulled in at 3:30, but our reservation was waiting for us on the board outside the office with a map to our site. We had a long gravel site that was easy to get in and out of. There are trees in the park, but I asked for a space that we could get satellite TV off the roof and we had no problem in the space we were assigned. The park has WiFi, but my Verizon air card worked so well, I didn't use it. The only downside to this park are the trains that run right behind the park. There is a crossing near the park, so the trains all blew their horns right behind the park. The upside is that we didn't hear any trains from around 11 at night until the next morning. And although we are not light sleepers, they are loud enough that we would have heard them if they had come by! In spite of the train noise, we would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A bit far from Denver, but the closest on the east side of town. Seems most of the parks are located north of Denver, but since we wanted to be through the city when we left and not have to deal with traffic this was a good location for us. The staff was very friendly, sites were clean and level. The park had a nice charm, we would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Long, level sites. Good cable and WiFi. Some sites could have satellite. Park is close to interstate and railroad, both of which are quite noisey. Regardless of the name (Denver East KOA) this park is NOT very close to downtown Denver (At least 35 miles). We would stay here again for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice Park, very easy to get (just off the interstate). Excellent managers, very friendly. Small store on the grounds with good selection. Site was very nice. WiFi was great & lots of TV channels. Ours is a tall rig so we were careful to check tree branch height. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wasn't there very long, arrived at 3:30am, and departed about 11am. Just needed a place to get off the road, charge my batteries, and take care of my tanks (dump and fill). Got it done, and out the door. Everybody did seem nice enough. If there after hours, pull to side of building (nite checkin) and see if there are any sheets in the slots. If there are, then there is space available. If you don't see anything, and no reservation, then your out of luck. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The restrooms and laundry room were spotless. They looked like a barracks awaiting inspection. This was a full park mid-week, we had one of the last two non-reserved sites. Only two things kept us from rating it a 10 - there was not full hookups at the site we ended up with, and the road noise from the freeway is very loud. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very clean park. There was some road noise which did not bother me, but then we sleep with the a/c on. They have nice store with an ice cream parlor. If you are traveling with horses, they allowed people to have them there as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Right next to Interstate 70. We just stayed overnight. They gave us a site that was barely long enough for us to stay hooked up. The pool was decent. There is 24 Channel satellite TV through DirecTV available. The sites at this campground are okay. If you are looking to visit Denver there might be better options because this campground is quite aways east of Denver (at least 30 miles.) Overall, this is a decent overnight stop. The staff is friendly and helpful. They told us the best time to leave in the morning to beat the Denver rush hour. I would probably recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground is well maintained and the new owners were friendly and helpful. Offers Free WiFi. Long level pull-thrus. Unfortunately for anyone trying to sleep, it is sandwiched between I-70 and a freight train line. If you're a light sleeper, it's not the place for you. If it wasn't for the noise I would rate it a 9. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Semi-shady level sites, hot tub, laundry facilities, clean restrooms, well-stocked store
and friendly staff. Great stopover on your way to the Rockies. We camped here in a Motorhome.
