Here’s the review Jenn wrote on Campground Reviews:

Past its prime park, close to Dinosaur

Roads are very tight and people park all their extra vehicles all over the place, blocking the road. The layout of the park is not very well thought out. All the pull-through rows are long, with no pathways to get from one edge of the park to the next. As a consequence, we had people walking right through our site to get between the bathroom and the dog park. I’ve never seen so many rude and clueless campers. Our site was so full of weeds we couldn’t use the outdoor area. It looked like there may have been a shade tarp over the outdoor area at some point, but there’s nothing left but the posts now, which were inconveniently located so we couldn’t put out our awning. Overall, it seems like this might once have been a terrific park that’s gone to seed (literally). The nightly rate is after I exchanged $50 in KOA points; otherwise, it would have been extremely overpriced for what it is. We camped at Vernal / Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.
