Carbondale / Crystal River KOA Holiday

Awesome place right at the river. There was an extraordinary nice and friendly young woman at the counter who picked the perfect RV-site for us. Bathrooms are clean, sites large enough and just a short drive to Carbondale. For us the perfect place to be if you're looking for a serviced campground.

The reason for my 3 star is there is NO SEWER at any of the sites. I absolutely should have paid more attention when booking but as a KOA Holiday averaging about $68 a night I just expected when I booked that a full hook up included sewer. You can get a pump out for $10 at anytime. We were told because we were there for 12 days we get two free pump outs. We paid for one, got a free one then when we asked about the second free one we were told that she gave us incorrect information and we’d have to pay for any additional pump outs which we did. The park is well kept, the workers are nice and the river is pretty but I wouldn’t have stayed 12 nights without sewer had I known. There is also quite a bit of road noise if that bothers you.

Nice large level sites in a wooded setting. Friendly host. Good WiFi. No Verizon cell service. Don't know about others. Sites have electric and water but no sewer hookup. Dump station is available. Campground is next to the Crystal River.

Service is good. Clean, has items, good locations for a walkable and bikable area and grocery shopping. Bathrooms are also clean. Unfortunately, the location doesn't have a view on the mountains and the camp sites are pretty close to each other.

Tent camped here for 3 nights. The KOA has great amenities as well as great views nestled between two cliffs or mountains. It has clean bathrooms and showers, laundry room, rec room in store, pool, and a nice sitting area by the store. Crystal River runs alongside the campground. I would stay here again even though the last night we stayed we had rude neighbors that came in late. They were loud and not only slammed their vehicle doors multiple times but had a loud conversation for the entire campground to hear at 11 or so at night. Campers just need to remember there are other campers too trying to enjoy their camping experience. Everyone just needs to remember to be respectful.
