Reviews

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: This place is definitely child oriented. Our kids are grown, and live in Fort Collins, along with many friends, so we stay here anyway. We love that we can bike to Old Town and all around beautiful FoCo! The sites and facilities are excellent. We hate the fact that we have to pay $10 per day for each guest, and that we can never have more than 4 guests at a time, but I understand why the policy is necessary. We never had any problems with the staff or the facilities.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: First, a couple of negatives that may be important to some like it was to us. The review will get better. If you will have guests visit you at the campground, be aware of the $10 per person, per day fee. Wow! Even if your guests will only be at your site, not enjoying the amenities they offer as justification for the cost — no exceptions (all spelled out on their website). For us, visiting family and friends in the area, it’s a deal breaker, we’ll camp elsewhere on future stays. Next - consider the internet non-existent. For an otherwise very nice campground (with premium site fees), the wifi is the worst we’ve encountered - anywhere. Only 4 access points for a park this large, very slow speeds, poor quality — come on Tengo Internet and KOA, unacceptable. That said, it’s a very nice campground - clean, attentive staff, level sites, good restrooms, nice lake with walking trail, nice fenced dog run, a lot of included fun amenities for kids / families. Site widths are OK. But restrictive rules about the grass in the campsites … no rugs of any kind, no screen tent, no portable dog fences, etc. If none of the negatives above are important to you, you’ll probably enjoy this well-maintained campground.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: Wonderful and friendly staff. Lots of fun things for the kids to do. Had pizza delivery (to site or pool) and garbage pickup every morning which was awesome. The pond was gross if you look too closely but was perfect for paddle boats. Site was concrete pad and awesome. Would absolutely stay here again.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: This is definitely a kid themed KOA. It offers a great playground, water activities, peddle cars, and a fishing pond. Not exactly my thing so it was way over priced for what I was wanting which was a place to stay while visiting friends and family. It is big rig friendly with roads that were easy to maneuver. My pad was concrete that was level front to back and side to side. The water and electric are in the center of the pad; however, the sewer is at the very back of the pad and elevated about 4" off the ground. Water pressure was great at 40 to 45 psi and no electric issues. Sewer was slow to drain due to elevation. Cable was strong with good range of channels. Wifi was weak to non-existent. The concrete pads are narrow and you step off in mud or dirt. They say no mats on the grass, so mine wasn't on the grass but the mud at the end of my steps. They do have sprinklers go off over night to water the grass. There was very nice grass around the picnic table and grill. The sites are arranged to where your picnic table is not next to your neighbors sewer hose. They have a very nice fenced dog walk. The staff is extremely friendly. They led us to our site and guided us in for the best placement. They also pick up your garbage in the morning. The park is extremely clean and well maintained. Weakness include the awkward sewer connection placement, over priced for what you get compared to other KOAs, narrow concrete pads, and the sprinklers make any mud on your site that much more muddy. Great for a family with kids, overpriced for those of us just visiting family. We camped at Fort Collins / Lakeside KOA in a Fifth Wheel.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: Nice spot, great activities for kids, great fishing, etc. Staff was friendly too. I don't blame them for charging for guests because the guests get to fish, swim, golf, etc when on site. Pay to play.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: To be honest, I haven't stayed at this KOA. The reason for my review is because I travel with pets and choose KOA specifically because they are pet friendly. This one seems just the opposite. I am visually impaired and use a pet fence...this KOA has too many pet rules and do not allow them, from some other reviews, seems like a KOA to avoid, just because of the owners attitude.

For KOA Holiday Fort Collins Lakeside: We were about 10 miles away from the Fort Collins KOA (where we had a reservation) when our motorhome decided it didn't want to run anymore. It was getting late, and we ended up being towed to the campground. While we were waiting for the tow service to arrive I called the KOA and explained our situation, and asked if we'd be able to get into our pull thru site with a 40' tow truck towing us. They said it should work. By the time we arrived to the campground it was around midnite, and when we were pulling up to the gate a man met us there, and led us to our site. It was going to be a tight fit getting us in, and the man said we could go to an empty site further down the row that had a lot more room for the driver to turn into the site. The man helped the driver get us into a good position on the site, and asked us how long we thought it would be until we'd be repaired. I said hopefully that we'd be fixed the next day, but it would depend on how quickly I could find a mobile mechanic to come figure out what was wrong. He said no problem, and said that they were booked full for the weekend, but that they'd figure something out if we were still there, and to just check in with the office in the morning. I was not quite sure who this gentleman was, and thought he might be a security guard. When I asked him if he stayed out at the entrance all night he said 'no', and told me that he was one of the owners. I was absolutely floored that he met us at the gate and took care of us the way he did. He was very nice and extremely accommodating to us in our situation.

As far as the campground goes, it was one of the nicest KOAs we've stayed at, and certainly had the most activities for kids and families to enjoy then any other campground we've been to. I can't say enough good things about this KOA and the staff. We had nothing but a very positive experience, and an enjoyable time while we stayed there being repaired. Our kids wanted to stay another day because they were having so much fun! We did get our rig fixed the next day and were back on the road before the weekend. While the cost of staying here may seem high, when you consider all the activities that are available for guests during their stay then it actually seems very reasonable. We will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves in the area!!!
