La Junta KOA Journey

I rented a Deluxe Cabin online. When I arrived I could not find my key in the box, so called but received no reply. I did find the cabin unlocked, to find an extreme foul chemical odor that was overwhelming. The air conditioner smelled terrible, the filter reset light was on. I tried to air out the cabin but that did no good as the chemical smell was saturated into the woodwork and bedding. I called the office again, no reply. The chemical and air conditioner odor gave me a headache and made me nauseous pretty much right away. I determined I could not sleep there overnight. I left a note and locked the cabin and left the site. I slept in the parking lot, in my truck, at a Sonic, instead of subjecting myself to the exposure of the cleaning and sanitization chemicals. Emails with them result in them saying they did not get my calls,, along with no offer to make it right. The cabin was dirty. The public restrooms has spider webs to ducks under to enter. The lighting near the office was like a landing strip for campers in the first few rows. Unless this is the experience you desire also, find another location for safe harbor. This is not typical KOA quality, this location is subpar.

This place is lit up like the Vegas strip! There are street lights attached to the top of all the power connection stations. They shined directly in our window from only a few feet away all night long. It is really annoying. The sites are easy access, they're plenty wide. Rv hookups are also easy to access. The entire park, including restrooms and showers are conveniently located and clean. There are areas for dogs and kids. The small pool was closed for the season during our visit. There is a railroad theme about the park, including some cabins in rail cars.

We were on vacation. Next stop KOA La Junta, Co. Checking the weather for travel to the campsite forecasted Winter Storm with heavy snow & wind. I called KOA to cancel my reservation & requested a refund. I was refused. I was required to pay for a campsite that received 28 inches of snow accumulation with 17 mph winds. The KOA campgrounds could not have accommodated reservation in these conditions. KOA requires two days notice to cancel any reservation regardless of any weather conditions or their ability to provide service to their customer.

I come here specifically to stay in the caboose. It’s an amazing setup getting to sleep in a converted train caboose. It has its own Firepit and grill too. Worth the trip just to get to stay here.

We stayed overnight with our 30 ft travel trailer. Had a pull-through site. We were in the north region. Large train cars being redone into living quarters. The dog park needed some repair work. The fence was broken and my dog was looking at me from the other side of the fence all of the sudden. A lot of people in and out over the weekend so it was noisy and busy before 7 AM. We were also across from the dog park so barking was a result with early traffic to the dog park. The pool looked nice enough but didn't use it. There is a miniature golf course, also not used. Walmart is walking distance. It was what we needed at the time while passing through. They do charge extra for dogs. And we got there an hour early and they charged extra for that too. We camped at La Junta KOA Journey in a Travel Trailer.
