We’ve just left the Gunnison KOA where we spent 1 night on the way to Palisade for the annual Winefest. This KOA occupies a beautiful area near the Gunnison River just west of town. The 75 spacious sites are set among a grove of large trees and lush green grass. This is a “Journey”, complete with a playground, stocked trout pond and a paddle boat pond. We parked in site #23, a very wide, deep back-in site to the rear of the property. Just over a wire fence is menagerie of barnyard animals, Shetland ponies, a large Angus steer, several goats and a few pigs. Apparently some of the animals have found their way into the campground where goats and a huge pig roamed free. We’d stay here again – it would make a great place to explore Gunnison or perfect for an overnighter.
