    Straddling the Santa Fe Trail, this High Plains campground lies just minutes from Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site.

    Straddling the Santa Fe Trail, this High Plains campground lies just minutes from Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site. Costumed interpreters welcome you to the reconstructed adobe-walled trading post, once a gathering place for adventurers, explorers and Arapaho warriors. In La Junta, the Koshare Indian Museum houses one of the world's most varied collections of Native American art and artifacts, as well as hosting Indian dances many summer evenings. A half hour south, Picketwire Canyon features the largest known trackway of dinosaur footprints in North America. It's located just 30 minutes from John Martin Reservoir, which has great fishing. Back at KOA, pick up some Wild West souvenirs and Christmas collectibles from around the world at the campground store. Cool off in the swimming pool and relax in the rec room, where you can read, watch TV or play pool, cards and games.

    The campground business is a combined family effort, according to the Phillips family, owners of the La Junta KOA in colorful Colorado.

    Edward and his wife Penny, along with their daughter, Corrine, and son-in-law Tim, felt it was time for a change in their lifestyles. So they purchased this year round beauty sitting on the front door step to the Rocky Mountains.

    "We wanted to purchase this campground to help us be closer to our grandchildren and families" says Ed, "the opportunity presented itself and we didn't hesitate, family is important to us."

    Camper satisfaction is the number one priority in the campground and you will know it after meeting a friendly and helpful staff member who works hard to provide a "home environment."

    "The campground is not just our business, it's our home too. We strive to welcome everyone into our home as our guest." Says Penny. "We enjoy meeting and greeting the campers to find out their interesting backgrounds and places they have traveled." Be sure and check out the Christmas store, open year round with goodies and presents for the entire family.

    In the little additional time they have, these two families typically will be enjoying the great outdoors fishing, camping or showing their classic cars.
