Accommodations
Buena Vista KOA Campground
Visit a true base camp adventure
in the beautiful Colorado mountains. Located in the San Isabel National
Forest District, and bordered on three sides by Bureau of Land Management
land, the view of five - 14,000 foot peaks will leave you breathless each
morning. Located in Buena Vista Colorado,
Buena Vista KOA Campground will serve as base camp for the ride. Riders
have a choice of cabins, tent sites, or RV sites. All are included in
the registration fee, but the cabins are limited so register early.
Campground amenities include showers, a hot tub, basketball and volleyball
courts, and more.
While you're in the area, might as well check out some of the area attractions.
World-renowned hot springs seem to dangle off the slopes of the nearby mountain
peaks. If relaxing in a natural pool of hot mineral water isn't your thing,
try the 4X4 trails located right across the highway from the campground
(for reals, I went!). If water sports are your game, well how about shooting
the rapids or taking some time off to fish for trout in the Arkansas River?
We're hoping the new location will give you a good excuse to meet some excellent
people, satisfy your heart by doing something good for others and leave
the real world behind, if only for just this one weekend.
