Kit Carson RV Park and liquor store - Kit Carson, Colorado

Den U.

As part of our campground video series we stopped here to review it. we were happy in what we found. There are flush toilets here. There is some confusion whether or not the showers have been installed yet. We met the owner and she was quite nice. Big plus is they allow tents at this place. Finding places that are more than a dirt lot is difficult in this southeast part of Colorado. There is a fair amount of grass here though it is not one hundred percent. There are several big shade trees here. The liquor store was not open as it was still early season. The only trouble we had was trying to contact them by phone. Our visit was May 2023. We highly recommend this RV park.

The park is located right on US 287 which is a busy east west truck route. If traffic bothers you then this is not for you. A Railway track is a block away as well so there is a noise issue. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The office doubles as a small liquor store. The rules are fairly basic.

Our site, 02 was a dirt based pull through that was long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left rear. Not unhooking a towed made a long stretch for hoses and cables. We only used power and have an extra long cable so no issues for us. Distancing is close for a small town urban park. Some sites have a table but NO fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was pretty trashy. There was only one other unit in the park and it appears to be a permanent.

There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We were able to find a number of OTA channels. Satellite might be difficult. There are NO usable washrooms or showers but we did notice an “outhouse”.

We found this park to be a very basic overnighter. Sadly, the only competition within 20 miles is no better. We paid 35.00 per night and we feel we received very poor value. This is a $15.00 park at best. We had planned to stop here agian in September but will NOT be back again. We would rather drive another 100 miles for better value.

Full hookups but only 30 amp service (no water in the winter). Overnight area is clean but sandy. Utility pedestals are quite old but work. Half the property is slum and trashy. Definitely not worth the $35 they charged me. When the man came to the door to collect I got the impression they charge more if you have a fancy rig. Apparently I was supposed to fill out the form next to a door on a dilapidated house on the property but that was not obvious. From my impression, those who gave this campground a 5 star rating had either never stayed here or were reviewing the wrong campground.
Update 12-2-2022: Judging from Google street view the place has been cleaned up quite a bit and looks much better. I've now moved to a town only about 25 miles away so won't be needing to stop here, but if I did, would definitely try staying again.

This was a last minute reservation we made due to bad weather, and they could not have been more accommodating. Had a spot for us and said they had barbecue and would make sure they had some for us. The site was basic but clean. The barbecue dinner plates were plentiful with 3 types of meat and sides and absolutely delicious. Totally recommend a stop here.

This was the worst campground that we have ever stay at in 25 years. The park had 10 sites right on highway 287. The trucks were flying by about 50 feet from the front of the motorhome all night long. The place looked like a shanty town. It did have full hookups. The cost was $35.00 which was a ripoff. ||We only stayed because had driven 600 miles and weather was turning nasty with severe thunderstorms.

Not well kept. One of two “RV parks” in town. Neither are serious about being a place you would want to stay. Unfortunately, there’s nothing else within about 100 miles. Colorado Springs is the closest. Reality does not match the pictures very well.
I did not stay in either park, instead headed towards Colorado Springs.

The owners are older and very nice. But there is ground work needed on the entry. And to many old rundown small trailers parked here. Still we spent one night and it was quiet. $35.00

We called her after driving all night at 650am. She answered and told us to come on in. She had a spot for us and waited for us to get there. She came right out to help us park. It has all the hook ups and a dump. Great rate and great hospitality. Thank you for everything.
