Denver East - Strasburg KOA

We booked the last site right at 4:00 pm on a Saturday. We’d hiked a 14er that day and were exhausted. The online booking process was a breeze. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and escorted to our site. Needless to say, we plugged in, took showers, and crashed. Looked like a fun place for families with lots of activities. Hubby enjoyed the pancake breakfast the next morning.

Stayed mid-April 2023.
Site type: Pull Thru, 30 Amps, Full Hookups Patio Site
Overall: Great spot for us for during the work week. Nice and caring staff which makes a big difference. Most pull through sites are VERY tight where patio sides are truly about just 6 feet of patio space. So, we changed from a 50 AMP to an end spot 30 AMP patio.

THE GOOD
Sites: Gravel site with a fenced patio with grill, fire pit, and glider chair.
Grounds: Clean with a nice store.
Store/Pizza: They served pizza in the store which hit the spot when hungry and they deliver to the sites.
Connectivity: Very strong full bars at 5G on Verizon and was super fast. AT&T showed 3 bars of 5G but just had trouble on it for work.
Convenient: Easy in and out.
Gas: There is a small gas station just 5 min away if needed.

THE BAD:
Sites: Most oof the pull through sites are extremely close to neighbors. Try to get an end site / patio,

WORTH NOTING (Not good or bad)
Campground wifi: Could connect but not strong enough to do any work on it.
Highway: The park is right off of the highway which is convenient but comes with continuous highway noise.
Food and groceries: About 10-15 min on the highway to get to the main area that has restaurants, groceries, and such.

I can't say enough good about the staff. Friendly courteous and helpfull. First i lengthened my stay for an appointment then shortened it because the appointmen was moved up. Staff arranged so i did not have to move then credited my account for days i had booked but did not use. The campground is not a 5 star hotel but the staff and amenities (pool pizza ice cream bbq) more than make up for the location being between the interstate and the rail road. Best and maybe only site on the East side of Denver. This is my second time in the area and needing a site for the rv. I will come back again if the need arises.

We booked 1 hour out, past check in time. Easy to get to, well lit and marked. Late check in was super easy. Too bad the bbq next door and pizza place inside had closed (late arrival) but the restaurant across the street was awesome with great service. Park is close to I70 so yes there is road noise but the park itself was Very quiet. Checked everything out next day and was amazed at efficiency, cleanliness and variety of sleeping and activity options. Great pancake and sausage breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. Great amenities for kids

We stayed here for 6 days during a journey west towards northern Utah. Seen from the highway coming from the east, it doesn’t make for a good first impression, partly because it’s located in an older industrial section of the town. The fact that our site was next to the corner of the campground with the dumpster and utility shed didn’t improve that impression, but the campground as a whole is decent. The sites are what you would see at most KOAs: dirt and gravel sites that are fairly level and are close together but wide enough to allow for awning deployment.

Our site (109) was an end site, and we had only one site between us and the entrance to the enclosed dog park, which was convenient for us. There are also grassy areas to walk the dogs on the south end of the campground and at the front of the campground. Even though our site was one of the furthest away from I-70, we could still hear the road noise while inside the camper with the windows. And trains run right by the north end of the campground, sometimes blowing their horn as they approach the railroad crossing. So this is not a campground for light sleepers.

In addition to the usual KOA features and amenities (the aforementioned dog park, camp store, swimming pool, and propane refills), they have several covered wagon campsites, a playground, and some communal gathering spaces. They also have Hunt Brothers pizza franchise on site and a small barbecue restaurant just outside the campground (we enjoyed their pulled pork sandwiches). So there’s a lot going on for a campground of this size. The staff was working on getting the campground ready for the summer season during our stay: smoothing and filling in the roads, changing out old decorations for new, and other general maintenance.

In terms of cell service, the best speeds I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna during our stay were between 90 and 130 Mbps down and 22Mbps up, and we had no issues streaming video. The one speed test I performed on my AT&T phone showed 8Mbps down and 10Mbps up.
