Durango East KOA is located at 30090 US 160, Durango, Colorado and Durango North KOA is located at 13391 County Road, Durango, Colorado. Both of these KOA RV Parks welcome dogs along with their RVing parents but there are a few rules that they will have to follow. No dogs staying at either of these KOA RV Parks can be aggressive or hostile, if they are, they and their parents or owners will be asked to leave the property. Dogs outside their RV must be on a leash that is no longer than 6 foot and if they are tied or tethered outside the camping unit, they must be attended. Dogs with good manners are always welcome just about anywhere and these two RV Parks are no different. Dogs that bark excessively may not be the best RVer as they will bother their neighbors and then their owners will be looking for another place to park the RV.
