Limon KOA Campground- Limon, Colorado (May 2018)

We needed a rest.  After four long days of dragging Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer, across America, we needed a day off to do laundry, wash Suzy, our Yorkie, and to clean both our truck and trailer.

There was another reason for wanting to take a day off. We started this trip at 221 feet above sea level and were climbing in altitude ever since we left the Deep South. Limon was a little more than 5,300 feet and our next stop would top out at about 8,000 feet. We needed an extra day to adjust to the altitude.

After looking at Rosie and our truck, I decided that there could not be a bug left alive on I-70. They were all smashed on the front of our vehicles. A bucket of clean water, some microfiber cloths and  “elbow grease” removed the bug graveyards.

We were told when we made our two day reservation that there isn’t anything to do in Limon. That may have been an understatement because we discovered there is NOTHING to do in Limon. We didn’t even unhitch Rosie from our truck because there was nowhere we wanted to go. Nothing, nada, zilch.

If you want a day off from driving to rest, having nothing to do is music to your ears. 

OK, there were a couple of things to do in the park. It was fun watching the many rabbits hop around the park. This was also a golden opportunity to catch up on the laundry. Then you could watch the rabbits. Did I mention that rabbit watching was about the most exciting thing to do here?

We noticed in the morning that the park quickly cleared out. I guess it isn’t common for people to stay more than one night in this park. In other words, this is an overnight stay park and not a destination. The park started to fill up again the second afternoon.

Here are some specifics about this campground:

• Our site had a 30 and 20 amp electrical connection. You can pay extra for 50 amp service 
• Our site had a water connection. We were warned to use a pressure regulator because of the high water pressure 
• Our site had a sewer connection. The park designer knew enough about physics to place the sewer connection lower to the ground than the sewer connection on most RVs 
• The park had one dump station 
• The park had a clean and well maintained bathhouse 
• The park had a laundry 
• The park provided WiFi service. The connection's speed was decent enough to actually use your wireless devices
• AT&T provided between one and two bars of 4G voice and data service over our site. This wasn’t reliable enough to depend on for anything 
• The park offered 24 channels of cable TV. The stations were the usual ones you would find on a basic tier of cable service 
• We were able to find eight stations using Rosie's TV antenna. The wind was strong enough that we lowered the antenna and simply watched the cable stations 
• This was a pet friendly park 

There was a big wind storm during our second day in this park. The weather apps on our iPhones said that we saw sustained winds of 25 mph with gusts to 30. We were safe and comfortable inside Rosie.
