Douglas KOA Journey

This is a nicely kept KOA, albeit in Smalltown USA. The interior roads and sites are open, gravel, some may have level issues, but the landscaping/design of each site is nice. Our site was very wide, enough to park the toad next to and not at the front or back like most places. Bath/showers were clean, garbage cans were plenty, and the hookups were kept in good shape. Staff is friendly, there is a limited camp store available. A little bit of freeway noise but tolerable.

Only stayed for couple nights to provision and to catch up on some things. Sites are pull thru, there are some back in ones, tent area. Laundry room was fine ($2/wash load & $2/dry load), a nice putt putt coarse $2/person, pool, they have fire wood to purchase, propane $3/gal, some small store items inside to purchase (laundry, munchies, odds and ends), decent cell (kind of spotty) picnic tables and some grass at each site. They even had horse pen areas if you need that plus small off leash dog run area. Sites were pretty level, gravel roads and quiet.

We needed a FHU stop to do laundry, dump tanks, etc., so chose the Douglas KOA. The sites are all primarily pull-through, but they are so short and the sewer hook up is so far back that your tow car is blocking the road. We had to disconnect and park our car beside the RV to not block the road, which isn't a huge deal, but wasted time for a one night stop.

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely the best part of this KOA.

The washers and dryers were $2 each, but the laundry room was very small and there was a line to do laundry. There is only one small table to fold laundry on.

We visited during Covid, so there were no complimentary s'mores that others have mentioned. There was a pool, but you had to sign up to use it, one family at a time for a maximum of 30 minutes and they checked you in and out. This KOA was in a pretty hot, arid area, so it was a disappointment not to be able to swim for more than 30 minutes.

Verizon was 3 bars. Booster didn't make much difference. Upload speeds were terrible. Downloads were ok.

Our price reflects KOA card 10% discount and the dreaded $3 extra for a child traveling with us.

While the town of Douglas only has a few things to offer, this RV park is top notch.
It includes all your typical KOA amenities plus they have a very friendly staff. For a small cost, they will feed you breakfast, dinner and deserts on the weekends. They also have a nice coffee cabin for your latte and espresso addicts.
The park is well maintained with great looking tent sites. The only negative is the gravel pads, which I understand is the norm for this part of the country. There is a little road noise from I25, but this is very minor.

Very nice spot to hang out between our stop in Buffalo Wyoming and Cheyenne. Just off highway but back enough to miss most of the highway noise. Sites are wide and level gravel, many with shade and small grassy area. Nice pool, mini golf and general store. Close to town with a tour of Ayres natural bridge nearby as well as an old Fort and other sites to keep busy. Staff is friendly and helpful getting to your site. Good Sam discount. Wifi available as well as cable.
