Salt Lake City KOA

This is the 45th park we have visited and stayed for 7 nights. A nice oasis in an urban/industrial setting very convenient to freeways/airport and just minutes from downtown Salt Lake (and yes, you can hear trains but have that experience at numerous parks). The park was decently maintained and as other reviewers pointed out, there is a large contingent of longer-term residents - they keep their sites and rvs in good order. The interior roads are all paved as are the pads with a concrete patio and there was adequate spacing between you and your neighbor. The best thing for the park are the mature trees as we were there when temperatures were in the upper 80s. Contrary to other reviewers, I did not find the trees to be an issue when navigating my rv through the park. The amenities were many and were well-maintained (playground, basket ball courts, pool, bathhouses, etc.). The dog park was large and shaded and had a wash station. I would definitely consider staying here in the future. Not linked to my review itself but would have to say this was one of the worst parks for people to follow basic rules. Families and couples with dogs walking across the patio (multiple times), yelling across multiple rows to your rv, not picking up after your dogs when there are bags provided throughout the park, and primarily for the longer term residents, leaving dogs off-leash and unattended to charge my dogs (daily) and speeding through the park. Come on people!

Beware! Train horns for long periods of time throughout the middle of the night. Dogs barking late at night and early morning. Front office rarely answers phone. With 2 people behind each counter, no reason guests calls should be ignored so often. Located downtown next to factories, not a nice view. They mix in full time residents in this park so you lose the resort feel. The full timers on side closest to office drive thru with their music blaring and base thumping. They also take up the extra parking because they use their driveways for storage. (Again taking away from the resort feel that we pay extra for at koa parks) Did I mention getting woke up by dogs being allowed to bark very early? When you leave the park you're met with a factory, office buildings, homeless camps, and building demolition. The owners are not on site and that usually makes a big difference. If you're not getting woke up by train horns between 2 and 5a every 15 minutes, then the dogs barking will get you before 7a. This is not your typical resort like koa. It's not in a good location. Staff doesn't answer phones. In one week we tried calling approx 15 times at different times of day and literally only got thru 3 times. Also internet is very spotty. Goes out quite a bit for short durations and is slow when running. Even their premium sites are on top of each other. As we walked thru you can see that the only view an RV has is another RV. Might be fine for an overnight stop but I certainly wouldn't pay the higher prices to stay longer. It was a big disappointment for us and when we come back to this area, we won't stay here. **and noticing other reviews, the owner seems to only address the good reviews so that in itself says the owners really dont care if you were unhappy with your stay. And I'm guessing whatever complaints are made fall on deaf ears. Should probably contact koa corporate if you feel your complaint needs to be addressed.

Great place to stay when visiting the area. Fairly easy to maneuver. People are nice and there are nice tours to take right from RV Park. Lots of trees, so you cannot use satellite dish. Don't follow Google or you wind up going through town. Come in from the west.

One of the best campgrounds I've ever stayed at. Full hook-ups and pull-thrus on Shady Lanes. Pool and hot tub. Close to bike path and public transit with easy access to the city center.

Traveling in a 38 foot coach we stayed 4 nights in a site for big rigs. Nice and clean park. Friendly staff and very close to the downtown city. They also have a rv wash on the corner, and air for your tires. One side of the rv park has long-term tenets and the other side has overnighters. Long term tenets area is very clean... the entire park is very clean. If you are looking for a quiet and clean park where you can sit outside and relax. go here. We enjoyed our stay, and would go back. If you have a dog there is ample area to walk your pet.

Excellent facility. Paved roads and sites so no dirt, dust and mud. Good power and WiFi. Heavily treed so no sat however good cable channels. One of the better KOAs.

One of the best campgrounds I have stayed at. The park has sights to acccomidate every tpye of camper. The employees are fantastic, cheerful and very helpful. Every lot has a shade tree. All are trimmed so as not to touch your rig . Decent sized pool, with hot tub. and lawn game area. The park is just a couple miles from the heart of Salt Lake City (Temple Square). A light rail system runs directly in front of the park, for those who want to use it for local transportation. The park has teamed up with a local tour company that will come to the KOA parking lot to pick you up for sightseeing trip to places like the copper mine, dogwood canyon, the Great Salt lake and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Loved this park! the only thing is the restrooms could use a little maintenance. The toilet I used rocked when sat on. The park had nice grass between the sites and despite being in the city got real quite at night.

We stayed here 2 nights everything was excellent, good wifi strength, nice paved parking sites, small grass area with picnic table, walking through the park was a delight with the trees, a nice footpath along the river/creek, made for an enjoyable daylight walk. Restrooms/showers were exceptionally clean, well-attended to. Staff at check-in was really friendly/helpful. The light rail is super convenient they run every 20 minutes and 2.50 for a one-way, going downtown was a breeze. The KOA is located in an older section of SLC, but their security patrols the grounds, giving you the comfort of safety and attentiveness. We were in a 24"motorhome, easy in/out, we had large 5th wheels on either side and still had ample room as did they. This park is highly recommended, the light rail system goes to the terminal at Salt Lake International, as to all of the more important areas that you would like to go, all without parking hassles and fees Depending on your RV, you will not hear any traffic/train noise, we could hear the trains about a 1/4 mile away but it was not an issue for us you could barely hear them. This park is convenient to everything, centrally located.
