BRB Crystal River Resort

We picked this KOA because it was just outside Aspen and this KOA did not disappoint. The buildings, bathrooms, cabins, and walkways were very well maintained. The cabin was clean inside, comfortable to sleep in, and no pests were evident. The bathrooms were very clean and were comfortable. The grounds were maintained and made walking around enjoyable. The camp store was friendly and offered many essentials. The KOA was sat on the Crystal River. The river was accessible and you can easily go for a swim. The river was about a foot deep at the time too. The town of Glenwood springs was nearby and you can get food and other things from there. Aspen was about an hour near as well. Visiting aspen and Glenwood were the perfect day trip ideas. Carbondale did have dinner options and that we had ordered in as well. Overall, I would stay in this KOA again. The price was decent, views incredible, the stay was relaxing, and it made the perfect home base.

This is the second time we've stayed in a cabin for a week during their winter season, and it's the best! The cabin was nice and warm and had everything we needed. I love waking up every morning to an amazing river view. The dog play area is also amazing, it was large and full of grass and our dogs absolutely loved it. Bonus points that we had perfect view of the northern lights from the river this year!

Small tent riverside site - Site TF. Stayed for a few nights in late September. Check-in was very smooth and the campground overall was beautiful and well maintained. The showers were exceptionally clean, and we really appreciated the thoughtful amenities like the outdoor dishwashing sink near the bathrooms. Trash cans were conveniently placed and never overfilled, and the surrounding scenery - the river, trees, and fall colors - made for a gorgeous stay. Our only complaint was with Site TF itself. There was a noticeable mound or small hill in the middle of the campsite, which made it tricky to set up our tents and caused the fire pit to sit at an awkward angle. The ground was also quite rocky and not very level. We did, however, appreciate that the site felt a bit more private and tucked away from the rest of the campground - the seclusion was definitely a nice bonus. Aside from that, everything else about the campground was fantas We'd definitely stay again, just at a different site next time.

Nice tent spots next to the river, sites are a bit smaller than in most accompanying BLM campgrounds. Very kind and welcoming hosts, common space is available until 7PM. Fresh coffee in the morning. Clean showers and toilets.

My family of six spent three nights here and I cannot recommend it enough. The teepee was so comfortable - equipped with a queen bed, 2 twin mattresses and a double bed sized futon, 2 box fans and a power strip. It's conveniently located near the very clean bathroom facilities. There was road noise but that didn't bother us too much - we'd definitely stay there again. We used the KOA as a home base - and visited Marble and the Penny Hot Springs, Aspen and the Maroon Bells. It was perfect for us. The camp host was so helpful. Highly recommend!!
