This campground is pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. The closest town is Lamar, which is 20 miles away. There is only rare cell phone signal, unless you drive just outside the park. Our myfi signal was off and on, and slow when it was on.
Our site was very large, with large common areas on 3 sides. The yard area was dirt and small gravel. outside the yard area was weeds and grass. They mowed the morning we arrived, and there was dead grass clippings everywhere. We had a problem with them being tracked inside by us and the dogs. We had a problem with a large ant bed in the center of the yard area. We had to use an xpen to surround it. We tried ant bait and spray, but they kept coming back.
This is an Electric Only campground, but there was a water spigot right next to our site.

Our site at this park had a really beautiful view of the lake, marina, and mountains, including Pikes Peak, but the picnic area was just dirt with a little small gravel. The picnic table had a curved metal sun guard, that shaded about 3/4 of the table in the afternoon. But, the yard area was mostly sunny in the afternoons even with the awning out. Also, the fire ring was in the center of the yard area, so we had to use one of our xpens to go around it. We used 6 pens to make the yard, and probably couldn't have used the 7th one anyway. The area outside the dirt/gravel area was weeds and stickers.
This is an electric only campground. There was a water spigot on the other side of the site next to us, so we were able to stretch a hose over to it to fill the fresh water tank.

We stayed in this same site 8/21/19 - 9/4/19. The only thing I want to add, is I don't remember the dirt in the yard area being as fine and loose 2 years ago. The dogs got filthy dirty very quickly and the inside of the coach was covered in dust. Elwood looked like PigPen from Charlie Brown. A cloud of dirt followed him around as he moved around in the yard.
------------------------------
This campground has nice wide spaces, but they are all curved pull-thrus, so it was a little hard to get situated, and it is just barely long enough for our rig with bike rack on the back, and our car parked sideways. We were able to use all 7 xpens. The patio area is mostly dirt with some gravel.
Like most parks in the cooler climates, there are not water hookups at each site. But, there is a water spigot at the site next to our site, and we were able to reach it with a hose to fill the fresh water tank.
This park is near the Rocky Mountain National Park, which is really beautiful.

This is a nice campground. The entire RV section is nice red gravel. The sites are separated by yellow concrete dividers. The sites are all very long and wide with a small tree in each. We could only put our awning out about 1/2 way because of the tree, but we have afternoon shade on that side anyway. We had plenty of room to use all 7 of the xpens.
When we checked in, the girl asked if we had pets, and how many. Mike told her 9. She just said, "Oh my, you travel with a lot of dogs!", but was fine with it. I told her that we needed a site with a good size yard on the awning side for our puppy yard. She just said they are all the same size, but we should have plenty of room because they are wide sites.

This is a nice campground, but it is very popular with tent and cabin campers with kids. The owners were VERY nice, and loved our dogs. They even loaned us their own park pass so we wouldn't have to pay $20 to get into the Custer State Park.
Our site was grass, with a gravel parking pad. It was large enough to use all 7 of our xpens.

This is a really nice KOA. We had a great site with a lot of room for xpens, and fantastic view of the Devils Tower. The parking pad was long with packed dirt and gravel. The yard area was pretty good grass. There was a small restaurant inside the office/gift shop.

This is a great campground. It is actually a working ranch. The road leading to the entrance is very rough, washboard, but doable.
The parking pads are gravel. Unfortunately, part of our site had wet ground under the gravel and it caused some difficulty in leveling, but did get it level. One of our jacks sunk down about 4", even though it looked dry and solid on the surface.
Our site is on the end of a row and we have a really nice grassy yard and a small tree. We used 6 xpens.
When Mike made the online reservations, he selected that we had 5 pets because that was the highest number available. He emailed and asked if they had a limit. He got a reply saying they did not have a limit. When we checked in, she asked if we were headed to a dog show, or why we traveled with so many. Mike told her that we used to show, but now they are just our pets. I did tell her that we actually had 9 with us, and she didn't even flinch. Also, her husband (or worker) drove by when we had all 9 outside, and just waved.
They gave us a free ice cream bar when we checked in! :)
