Buena Vista Koa

The view from your campsite at this KOA is buena indeed-a panorama of five 14,000-foot-plus peaks frames this mountain valley. Tucked among rocks and shaded by pinon pines, the campground is a few miles southeast of the small resort town of Buena Vista and a mile from the Arkansas River. Hike or bike on public land adjacent on three sides of the KOA. Your hosts can arrange for a wide variety of other pursuits-such as rafting, fishing, ATVing, jeeping and soaking in hot springs-or direct you to hiking trails, ghost towns and rock-hounding sites. At KOA, play sand volleyball, basketball and horseshoes. Breakfast is served summer mornings in the Cook Shack. Enjoy this quiet and tranquil setting. Groups are welcome. Email: buenavista@koa.com. Campground is open the first Friday in April to the last Sunday in October, weather permitting. Max pull thru: 105 feet. Your hosts: Dom & Helen Burns.
