I've spent most winters here for 5 years now. This is the ONLY RV park in the city limits of Pueblo, Colorado and is close to shopping, dining, local tourist activities and I-25. I stay monthly and currently pay $475/month for 50amp service, including water & sewer. The asphalt lot needs to be redone, but otherwise everything works fine. The restrooms, showers & laundry are clean and functional (you get the key pad code at check in time). Numerous elm trees shade most sites in summer and fall. The "one or two night" sites are the ones in the back that are pull through, and have no trees. Many convenience & liquor stores are within a short walking distance. Interstate is one block away. Two convenience stores are literally less than a block away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Closest RV Park to jobsite; however, beware! This campground has very few 50 amp sites, the owners lied several times to us about sites that would come open and we were on the list to move to. We had to stay in a 30 amp site. Power here is VERY BAD, be very careful with your rig, the power levels are way below 120 and our power cut off several times due to low voltage in the entire campground. Owners not very concerned about this, even went UP on rent due to cost of power. Many people live here in mobile homes, park is trashy / ugly and not much to look at. The entire area is sketchy, not safe for children or women alone. Please take care staying at this RV park, it's really just a parking lot in a bad area of town. Only plus was laundry. Stay away if you can, try the KOA and Pueblo West--seem to be better deal and areas. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Ugly old gravel parking lot in full sun. Senior discount was promised on campground directory online but was not honored. Showers were very clean but bathrooms were locked every time we tried, I, a woman, had to use the men's shower as this was the only one unlocked. My husband was not able to get in the showers at all in the morning, all locked. The park was packed with mostly monthlies, and the owners were not friendly at all. They don't take credit cards either. We would not go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campsites here are usually very spacious. However, there seems to be a lot of sites that are not level whatsoever and we were stuck in one of these this time. As with other Colorado state parks, you need to pay the $8 fee to reserve sites online. Usually this system works well for reserving, but on this last visit, our original site was double-booked. We were not impressed to say the least. The camp hosts were very friendly in resolving this issue. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camp/boat at Lake Pueblo State Park often (~8 times per summer). The YUCCA LOOP is, we believe, the best of the campground loops with VERY clean bathrooms and VERY LARGE spaces. ***GREAT*** camping with the ability to have fires in fire pits (unless there's a fire restriction). Fairly close to the marina. ***IF YOU'RE BOATING IN 2009, BE PREPARED FOR LONGER THE NORMAL WAIT TIMES TO BOTH LAUNCH AND RETRIEVE DUE TO ZEBRA MUSSEL INSPECTIONS AND DECONTAMINATION - BOTH MANDATORY. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We agree with previous posts. Very nice park with excellent facilities, well maintained and patrolled. Becomes a little pricey when the $6.00 daily use fee for each vehicle is included. April is a great time to stay here; you have your pick of the best sites. Make sure you make reservations if you plan to stay more than 3 days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice state park - electric hookups only (30 amp) with conveniently located dump stations and ample restroom facilities. We stayed in the Arkansas Point section of the park and our restroom had no shower facilities. The views here are stunning and the Campground got very busy over the weekend with boaters and fishermen - we are neither. I don't know if we would stay here again as we didn't find much to do in the Pueblo area. Keep in mind that Colorado charges a day use fee for all vehicles in the park. This is on top of your camping fees and is applied to all motorized vehicles. The fee at Lake Pueblo was $6 a day. In our case (motor home and tow vehicle) an additional $12 per day. We have offset this fee by purchasing the annual pass - $60 for the first vehicle & $25 for the second - good for one year from the month of purchase and good at all Colorado state parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice state park. $18 camping fee is addition to $6 daily entrance fee. Wide variety of sites to choose from on 2 sides of the lake. Very little shade, but each site does have a picnic table with shade awning, along with a fire ring. Bathrooms very clean and plentiful. Laundry facilities at several campgrounds in park. Both pull-in and pull-thru sites. Electric only service at each site, but 30 amp service was good. Dump stations and water located at entrance to each campground. Lake levels were extremely low, so the lake front sites were still well away and above the lake. Beautiful view of the mountains. The north side is pretty close to residential development, but enough on the other side of the hill to not see it from the campsites. We were here mid-week in April and very few other campsites were occupied, so we had our choice away from everyone. Rangers patrolled frequently. We will return, but only in spring or fall. It's probably a very busy campground during the summer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very nice park. All facilities were excellent. The staff were very helpful to us with a special request. The only thing that kept this from being a 10 was the silly Colorado rule that will not allow a camper to book for more than three nights without a reservation. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you have a boat this might be a great place, otherwise I don't recommend it. It was blazing hot and the sites have NO shade. It was also very windy. Friends of ours also went boating here, but the high winds caused such waves they had couldn't safely take their kids on the water. This was after waiting over an hour to get to the dock. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a desert/lake campground with extremely spacious sites and shaded picnic tables at each site. The showers were very clean with laundry room available. Very quiet park on a beautiful lake. Mountains in the background. Elevation 4500' which makes for moderate temperatures. We really enjoyed this park. Park rangers patrol and friendly gate workers are very helpful. Pray for rain, though. The lake was extremely
low. We camped here in a camper.
It is a very nice campground. Friendly and helpful staff. The sites are clean, level, and well spaced. There is plenty of walking space. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites were large, clean, and level. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good pizza and chicken wings available at the camp store. Nice dog walk area. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is a typical KOA. Not much for too much money. I had the miss fortune to have to stay there for 27 days due to work requirements. It was a convenient location for me but the roads had deep ruts and bad flooding every time it rained a little bit. They would not give me a monthly rate so I paid just a little less than $1000 for my 27 days. That is the most I have ever paid for a really nice place in over 7 years of full timing. To top it off, they made me leave a day earlier than I wanted to because they had a reservation for my particular site. Hundreds of us insurance adjusters were in town helping people with their losses from a bad hail storm and they couldn't make a little change for me after spending nearly a thousand bucks!!! Typical KOA!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly, welcoming hosts, lovely shop serving ice cream & offering pizzas & wings. Attractive park, very clean & tidy, just off the interstate. Only stayed 1 night. Booked a 50ft pull thru so we didn't need to unhook, but what we got fell somewhat short!! 5th wheel hung over site limits at the rear & the truck stuck out into the road at the front. We pointed this out to the nice guy who took us to the site, he said 'no problem, no-one else is coming in', so we left it like that as it was just 1 night. These sites in row 'N' are also quite narrow. If you like to sit in your rig or out on your picnic table & get a good look in through your neighbours window, you'll be delighted. In our opinion as experienced RV'ers(& it's only our opinion) the site we were allocated is only suitable for small trailers or compact b class without slides. There are much better sites on the park. We think they maybe saved the better sites for longer staying guests, which we quite understand. If you're going to be there for a longer stay, rows D & E are better. However, nice park & we would stay again so we've marked it as if we'd had a better site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is a typical KOA. The sites are Level but a bit narrow if you have neighbors & dusty because the wind blows in the afternoon. Water was pressure good. There is a nice fenced dog run however, all dirt. They will make & deliver pizza to your site for $10 if you wish. If in area, we'd stay here again although I think KOA's are a bit too expensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Close to Interstate, so somewhat noisy. Set in the desert with a good view of the mountains. Sites are level but quite narrow, no fun being outside. Staff are very friendly and accomodating. Nature trail and pancake breakfast, Saturday and Sundays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While camping here there was a problem with the water and we were unable to fill our tanks due to this problem. The on-site manager was not available to assist any of the campers. There were no shaded areas. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed one night at this campground. It was clean and the attendants were courteous. Problem with construction made it a problem on the interstate but the campgrounds were easily accessible. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park has some of the cleanest bathrooms we have seen yet. They need to truck in every drop of water used, so there is a big truck parked next to the office that must be used to truck in the water. They should try to hide it inside a fence or something. They had all long term tenants here while we were here and some of the sites were messy. The noise from I25 can be noisy. The couple running the place were very nice and obviously tried to keep the place up. Our site was pretty narrow, if you had slides on both sides of your RV, then you would not have enough room. The owner said he had a rig in our site just before us that had slides on both sides and the owner had to walk around his rig sideways. We had to move our neighbor's table out of the way to access our water and sewer connection. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an extremely well maintained park with friendly staff and a wonderful view of Pike's Peak. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets and a nice nature trail from the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just off the interstate and out of town in the desert. Nice views of the mountains in the distance. An OK place to overnight. We arrived late in the afternoon and had to share the electric box with a neighbor. He got the 30amp outlet and we were left with only a 20amp. Luckily we did not need to run the AC, so we coped. Evidently the electrical system needs some upgrades. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at this campground last weekend and enjoyed the "super RV site", which is a large fenced area with a small hot tub, covered picnic area, gas grill, deck and patio table and chairs. The fenced area was great with our two dogs and our three children. We enjoyed the hot tub at night. You are given a lock for the fenced area. We parked our trailer right next to the entrance of this site. The cost was $55/night. The only drawback to this KOA campground is that it is close to the highway and it can be noisy at times. The campground also has a nice pool that we enjoyed. The restrooms were very clean. The people that run the campground were very friendly. There was a nature trail at the campground, but we didn't use it because it was a very hot weekend. I would go back and definitely get the "super RV site" again. I wish more campgrounds offered this amenity. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park run by a young couple. They are very helpful and have made several improvements in the past two years. Excellent nature trail and beautiful view of the mountains. We camped here in a camper.
This campground is a little far out from the main attractions but we chose it because of past reviews. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and went above and beyond being there when we had a snowfall with electricity going out. They made sure the roads were cleared and trees cut back as soon as possible. They were baking cookies when we arrived and we went back after getting on site and the cookies were great! The area is very quiet; cable is great; Wi-Fi is good; facilities are very nice. It is gravel but the sites are large and wide and we would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay in this campground twice a year while in the area. They have cleaned it up and added several upgrades to the park in the last year. One of the better KOA's that we stay in. We will stay with them again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient stop along I-25, though overpriced for this isolated area, if you don't use the pool, putt-putt course, hot tub,etc. Must be popular with families in the summer. Had a good pull through by the bathrooms but not level and voltage way too high. Owner was in office, very nice. Great cable TV , free Wi-Fi and VZ aircard is strong. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed our two nights here as it is a well-run, spotless facility! The work kampers are nice and the owners are there...and they appreciated our business. We had a site that was perfectly level, with shade trees on both sides, and lots of grass on either side of us. (They are smart and skipped spaces between RVs.) The hookups were placed properly and worked very well. They have lots to do, and it is all clean and usable. We will return! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is beautiful and the amenities are great. The sites for larger rigs have nice grassy areas and are very easy to get into. It's very child friendly with a playground, pool, game room and 18 hole putt-putt course. One problem is that the playground equipment has not been maintained well and some of the equipment is broken with some sharp edges. Also, be sure to ask when they will be mowing. The mowers came through and removed a pet pen we had and broke our trash can. When we complained, the owner said we shouldn't have staked the trash can down because that wasn't allowed per the little newsletter we received upon check-in. Nothing was in the newsletter we were given indicating that wasn't permitted, nor was it posted anywhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely laid-out campground with a pleasant feel. Good sized pull-throughs even for big rigs. We camped here in a 37ft fifth wheel. Nice, friendly staff and the campground was very clean and tidy. Good facilities including a brand-new fitness room. Location is a little out of the way, otherwise would score 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is, in our opinion, one of the top KOAs in the entire United States. It sits high on a hill overlooking breaktaking mountains and valleys. The staff (of which there are many) are constantly working on the park, the grass, the sites, and everything else. Sites are large and level and are well stoned, electricity is dependable, and wi-fi is outstanding. The staff could not be nicer. My only complaint is the water pressure, which could be stronger. Still, one of the very, very best parks we've ever seen. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in this campground last spring,again last fall and again this spring. It's easy off and on I-25. Good cable and wifi and the sites are decent size. People are nice an it's clean. The sites could use some more gravel but that's abut the only complaint we had. We will stay again as it works out well for us when going to Arizona or coming home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground was very busy and near capacity. It was cold (20 degrees). The campsite were close to each other. The playground was busy with a lot of kids. It was nice to see everyone having a good time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Another over-priced KOA, but the only decent park in southern Colorado with cable tv. Not a bad place but isolated. Freeway noise wasn't bad, access is easy. Party going on, bathrooms not clean. Sites are close together, neighbor parked their vehicles in front and back of our RV- but left in the morning. Would never stay here except for needing location and tv & wifi access. Not worth the expense. Long pull-thru sites are over $40, and looked unlevel. Dirt sites with some grass and trees. Pool was closed but of course they still charge full price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is in Colorado City. Very well maintained, quiet and very pleasant staff. Laundry and restrooms/showers were very clean. nice store/gift shop. This was our second stay this summer and we would certainly stay again and recommend it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Here is a wonderful place to stop if you're traveling from Denver to Santa Fe. Please note that it is 22 miles south of Pueblo, but in a very nice location with beautiful mountain views, albeit close to the 25 Freeway. Sites are level with 78 channel cable and 50 amps. We had a great pull-through, did not even have to un-hook (as the park is actually designed correctly). For an over-night stay this is about as good as it gets! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good full service park with FHU, 60+ channel cable, WI-FI, and a pool. The full name is Pueblo South / Colorado City KOA which tells experienced RVers that it is south of Pueblo in Colorado City. Unless you need to be near Pueblo for more than a day, it is only good for overnight stop or a few days to relax. As a base for sightseeing, it is too far from the sights to be used as a base camp. Tourist destinations such as Royal Gorge and Colorado Springs have parks much closer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is nowhere near Pueblo. It is at Colorado City, about 30 miles south. That said, it is a decent KOA, well-maintained with a friendly staff. The sites are a bit close, but they have lots of grass and a good cable system. Wi-Fi worked well. Lots of long-termers here, and the place was filled to capacity but still quiet. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff. Wide grassy area between sites. Gravel roads and sites. Great wireless internet connection even at the far end of the campground. The cable TV has 71 channels. There are some long term residents but they are well kept and clean. Overall a very pleasent place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good stop over for a night. Easy access to I-25. Nice view of the mountains. Sites are a little small, but we had room for our slides and left the SUV hooked up. Staff was friendly at check-in. Good WiFi and cable TV---They had 8 inches of snow that melted rapidly so it was a little muddy but we have been in much worse. They had a crew trimming trees and someone on a tractor blading the roads (gravel and dirt) so it looks like they are trying to keep up with the maintenance items. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We left this place one day early because it was so bad. The camp sites are narrow. Your neighbors hook ups along with the sewer were right next to the front door of our trailer and picnic table. This was no shade to speak of at our site. The pool was small, but good. The restrooms were very well maintained. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean and friendly campground. Sites are well maintained and the gravel roads are groomed when needed. enjoyed are stay. All the personal working there and the owners were courteous and helpful. We will be back We camped here in a Motorhome.
Won't recommend for more than a night stay. Ownership complained about most everything! For example; everytime we used a credit card, about their transaction costs and even charged us extra on the checkout for their costs of KOA forced transaction fees (so we were told). Ownership complained about dirt getting tracked into their showers even though there were no mats to wipe feet on and their area was covered in melting snow and mud. (these were added after someone almost fell on the slick tile inside the door) Ownership tried to overcharge us on propane fill up by .59 cents per gallon and then complained when they got called on it (yep they had to pay those transaction fees again). Cable picture and electricity amperage were of poor quality (and water for some campers was improperly buried above freeze line causing many folks to have to move spaces). Laundry was the most expensive average per load of any KOA we have been to yet at almost 4$ a load washed and dried. If you need to stop due to weather or fatigue it's just ok, but keep driving if you have the option. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground has a warmth and coziness about it that is just plain comfortable. I don't know of any other way to describe it. It is one of the neatest, best-maintained parks we've seen in 30 years of Rv'ing. The management is extremely friendly and helpful, and the staff is great. They are constantly working on the grounds, and it is neat as a pin. It has wonderful views of the mountains and is relatively near to a bunch of attractions. We've overnighted here several times but, this year, decided to make it a destination park and stayed here almost a week. Are we glad we did. You will love this park--it is totally unlike most KOAs in a very positive way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites way too close together. Felt like a sardine there. Would only stay if no other place available, and that would be overnight. Not for a long stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are close together but all the park is very well-maintained. Sites level, some gravel & others grassy. I question the WIFI as I tried (as well as my park neighbor) a second "code" and still couldn't make a connection. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park on grassy sites, some gravel parking, CATV, very clean, great overnight park although there are some attractions less than 100 miles away. Subway and 2 restaurants nearby. Really no town nearby. Near highway, but seemed reasonably quiet. Much improved over last year. Miniature golf, game room, horse shoes, great hosts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Okay for an overnighter. Long spaces and easy ingress and egress for big rigs. Sites are not very level, however, and roads need more gravel. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice KOA, no freeway noise. 18 hole mini golf on site. Quality owners live on site. Spaces on the
narrow side. Good scenery. We camped here in a Motorhome.
