It's Fine Except for the Stink and Flies
We needed a place to stay in or near Fort Collins while we looked for property, so being the cheapskate snowbirds that we are, went for this KOA instead of the Lakeview one in town.
It didn't take long to find out why the monthly (and daily) rates were cheaper.
As far as layout, side width and cleanliness, this park gets high ratings. The facilities were great, management was mostly cheerful and although it was far from downtown Fort Collins (about 20 minutes by freeway), it worked fine for us until the temperature started climbing.
That's when the CAFO stench started wafting over (CAFO=Feedlot) and the flies started showing up.
If you stay inside all day running your AC, no problem. But if you dont' want to deal with a high electric bill (and the rates ARE high), along with management's poor recordkeeping for what you actually used, you're going to have to get used to the stink and flies.
They were EVERYWHERE. They even left trails of fly poo on the outside of our rig. Tons of it. It was impossible to do anything outside.
For a night, it's fine. Maybe a week. But anything more than that, and you'll have to start naming all of the pet flies that start hanging out in your rig.
