The Best Camping Near Colorado City, Colorado

We went into the San Isabel National Forest and could not find a spot. We down the mountain off hwy 165 we found this spot. It was a one night trip and our only complaint was the highway noise. 

Quick and easy 

Like other reviewers, we tried to get a first come/first served spot up in San Isabel NP but were too late. We found GMP in Colorado City and was told they never turn away a tenter. There are a number of spots aligned below a bluff, and a large open field for additional tents. We set up in site 20, which actually was very spacious and more private than a lot of the others. Plenty of trees, a small creek, and trails. Woke up to an 8-point deer munching in the bushes. 
Cons-
-some traffic noise
-no toilet nearby, but a clean shower house was available for use a short drive away.
-camp has a lot of litter on site
Otherwise it was a good experience.

It’ll do in a pinch

The location of this campground is very beautiful, however, the campground needs some help. Essentially, it appears to be a mobile home park being run as a campground.
For goodness sake, do not camp in space six. You will make everyone around you upset and there’s no room for a camper let alone camper and vehicle. Spaces are very close together.
It does not indicate anywhere in the pricing, but when you go to leave, you will find out that you were charged another $10 if you want to dump. This should be stated upfront before you ever make a reservation.
There’s a video on the Internet that sums up the campground fairly well. It is obvious they are trying to do some grading and cleanup work, but they have a long way to go.

Mobile home park actually...

We stop for 3 days and it was a good experience. No issues here. Spot was fairly clean no problem with neighbors or anyone else. Enjoy spot 20 very much. A quite little corner. If in area again I will use.

Was good for our family 

Its as small Campground outside Colorado City. There electric hook ups at your site; however the water is across the path and you need to port it to your rig. There is a laundry room and dump station. Not sure if the dump is included as the sign says $10 if your staying here or $15 if your a guest. Most of the other campers here look like they are parked long term, some of them had large dogs on run chains, but over all it was super quiet. I would stay here again if I was in the area.

Small Campground 

Awesome! Camped by myself without a care in the world.
