Mueller State Park Campground

We try to hit up the state parks as well as the national ones and I'm glad we stayed here. Lush trees surround the campground with ample trail to hike/bike. If we were to stay here again I would fork out the money for a cabin because we saw two black bears and I kept imagining them batting away at our tent with every sound I heard at night. Overall a great experiencr. 

Black Bear Country

Nice little campground. Lots of trails around nice combos of forrest and fields, we even saw some elk.

wildlife

This is one of the gems in Colorado. Great well taken care of campground with electrical hook ups and gorgeous grounds. All sites looked well taken care of. Had a great time.

The Best

Mueller is a wonderful state park.   Loads of hiking with lots of abandoned home sites.  The facilities are top notch.   We haven’t been at a bad campsite yet.  

Great Spot!

Beautiful campground. Not a bad site in the whole park. Very clean and good space between sites. We stayed in a 26' travel trailer. Electric hookups available. Sites are all paved back-in or pull thru and pretty level. Great level gravel areas to pitch tent as well at each site. This is bear country. No bear boxes available, so bring your own or lock in car. Great hiking trails of all abilities. Great visitor center. Fishing only available w/ .5-2.5 mile hike into back country. Close to lots of activities in Cripple Creek Woodland Park etc.

Peace in the Ponderosa Forest

Beautiful State Park with great facilities and very helpful personnel.  $7/daily fee...park is up on a ridge at almost 10,000 ft just west of Pikes Peak. Lots of trees...Aspens and Spruce. Campsites were   almost all ideal and many have electrical hookups. There are also some walkup tent sites. Clean vault toilets and many water spigots and bear proof trash cans. There was also a centrally located bldg with flush toilets and a sink to wash dishes. Also a building with coin operated showers and laundry area...all very clean and relatively new. We enjoyed hiking on several of the many trails. The rangers have presentations most nights...bears, beavers, etc. Lots of families with kids...also a playground. We went on a guided bird watching walk one morning...fun experience. The campsites book up months in advance but we lucked out finding a terrific site about a week out (from a cancellation on reserveamerica.com) The campground was fully booked but was still peaceful and quiet. We'll definitely return!

Awesome Park!

Beauty at 10,000 feet

Fabulous visit. we came into the park last minute. Stayed during the week but knew the weekend would be fully booked. The morning on that Friday we packed up and asked the ranger, they had a cancellation and we got to stay the weekend!

Highly Reccomend 

Some friends and I camped here in early October. It got a bit chilly at night, two layers, smartwool socks, a Carhart beanie, sleeping pad plus a medium temp sleeping bag kept me semi warm in our tent. The hikes we went on were beautiful and the restrooms were clean and close to our site. Because it was a last minute reservation we ended up in the RV section of the campsite so it was a little nosier than neccessary. We saw the park ranger ride through about every half hour to hour during our weekend stay. I would defintely stay there again!

Amazing Facilities 

Mueller State Park is a great location, close to Colorado Springs and far away enough to have that quiet camping experience. There were amazing views of Pikes Peak and so many camping spots. We had a group of us, so we found two camping spots together and across the road from vault toilets. The 5 kids in our group had a great time and I was impressed with how clean the campsites were kept. I would highly recommend camping at Mueller State Park and would love to return for another camping experience.

Pike’s Peak Views

This is a really large campground for a state site, the weekend we visited it was full with no available sites. It should be noted that this campground does not allow for day use, only overnight camping.  There are many trailhead from the campground and lots of families and kids but many of the trails do not allow for dogs, so be aware of that as well. It does offer many amenities like a dump station and playgrounds.  We will come back later in the fall and hopefully it will be less busy. We like the quiet outdoors so this was a little busy for us. 

Large campground 

Our family of 5.5 (I’m 20 wks pregnant) tent camped at site 065 at Prospectors Ridge . It is the furthest walk in site but the view IS AMAZING. About 350 yds to walk so keep that in mind when hauling in stuff. The vault toilets are at the parking lot and clean and there is water there too. A short walk from the parking lot, there is a nice playground, washing machines, showers, bathrooms, water jug filling stations, vending machines. There is a change machine there too Bc you need quarters for showers and using the washer and dryers. The days are hot at this time and the nights are cool. There are large bear boxes for use. There was a nice man driving a gator around offering firewood every night but we had some. Camp sites are a little close but still private . Several short (1 mile ish) hikes at this park and a nice visitor center!  We would go again! I’m not sure we’d chose the last site but the view was unbeatable. 


Prospectors Ridge Site 065 👍🏼

No dogs allowed on trails. They are allowed in the campsite, and on the roads, but that’s it. The campsites have shade and space, and there are beautiful trails for hiking and mountain biking, but the no dogs is a line for us. 

We don't have little ones anymore, but there was a huge playground that would be a bonus for those who do.

Beautiful campground but..

One of my favorite places!

As a family from Texas, we don’t get a lot of snow in our neck of the woods, so this was a real treat. We hit up the Peak View day use trail head and had an absolute blast. The snow was perfect, the hill was fast and the views were amazing!!! Kinda wish we had made the trip to camp up here instead of just a day trip!! There’s also less oxygen at 9000’ than there is in Denton, Texas. Haha

Day trip for sledding

We stayed in site # 43 and had electric and filled with water there it was a nice site. It was a pull thru site Conifer ridge loop. I had 2 bars with Verizon, nice restrooms, showers &amp; a laundry room. 

The BEST sites in our loop were #40 &amp; 41 big pull thru sites facing Pikes Peak.  Site # 36 is great to it's a back in site. Nice hikes though out the park it's well maintained. Pets are not allowed on the trails &amp; they do have rangers hiking looking for rule breakers. 

  

Went to Mike's barbecue had a great meal &amp; ask for the candied bacon he doesn't advertise it, sells out quickly. Also went to McGinty's slow service but a good dinner. 

  

Pikes Peak is close &amp; what a beautiful Mountain. We saw lots of wildlife, wildflowers, very winding road with switchbacks going up and the summit at the top. It was cold up there had a cloud come in &amp; it covered the peak. They sell a shirt Got Oxygen we bought one it's  true. Elevation is 14,115 Crystal reservoir was beautiful. Had some snow patches up higher.  They hit a limit &amp; part way up you may have to stop &amp; take a bus the rest of the way (it's free) but we lucked out and got to drive the entire way up. Coming down they will stop you at a 1/2 way check point &amp; check your breaks are not overheated. If they are you have to wait a 1/2 hour I believe to go back down. Drive in Manual and you will be fine.

  

Garden of the Gods isn't far that's beautiful too &amp; the drive there is nice. Manitou  Springs is a nice little town and Cripple Creek the other direction is really a cool town. springs

Beautiful well kept park near Pikes Peak

If you crave primitive sites and 14ers, this is not the place for you. 

I gave it five stars because, although it may not hit everyone's preferences, it is consistently good for what is meant to be. 

We have been here a number of times, some for just hiking, some for camping. It's one of our go-to campgrounds. It is has solid campsites and facilities, more so for young kids. The access to Woodland Park (Jonie's for me) and CO Springs is helpful (again, especially for kids). To the west, on US Hwy 24 you can hit Florissant Fossil Beds. 

I have never been here during peak time in the middle of Summer, which I suspect could get quite crowded. We have been in late May/early June: it was quite pleasant and not too crowded at all. I have been here mostly in Sep-Oct-Nov. This is  the perfect time. It has plenty of trails for the average hiker, perfect for tiny legs.

There are also three cabins to rent, which I admit we have used before, and they are very nice.

I like it

We stayed at site 36 in the Conifer loop. I would not want to stay at the sites along the main road. These seemed to have very little privacy. Even numbered loops along Conifer had amazing views, site 40 had the best. Our site had good privacy but without cloud cover would have been hot. The gravel tent pad, picnic table and fire pit were all in good condition. Most campers near us had RV or trailer bathrooms so the vault toilet and flush toilets were usually unoccupied. Great hiking and all sorts of attractions nearby. Park sells firewood for $5 a bundle, they even drive around in the evening selling.  Would stay here again as long as I could get a spot on one of the loops and not the main road.

Pretty but busy campground

We only stayed here one night, but now we want to go back and spend more time.  Simply gorgeous park.  We had a spot that overlooked a large meadow, and we got to see several deer that evening along the edges.  The bathrooms were very clean.  The campfire program was a hit with the boys!  We will definitely be back!  We tent camped so I can’t speak to RV specifics.  

Love love love!!

Super nice facility and clean. Very busy park as a lot of sites are on the main road. If you can choose to stay off the main road areas you will enjoy more. Lots of hiking and biking. We saw some deer that came through our site. Just a real nice relaxing place!

Nice Park

Super nice campground that makes you feel like you’re out in nature and in the mountains. Although there are tons of spots you are very well distanced from everyone. Views are great! Cleanest camp bathrooms we’ve seen all year! Onsite dump, most sites are pull through with Electricy, WiFi was good, I could even stream music. 

Most trails inside the campground don’t allow dogs. 

Quiet Place in Nature

Nice facilities and clean. Picturesque and on top of a heavily wooded ridge. Some of the sites are more open and give a great view. Pike's Peak dominates the skyline to the east. Walk in sites are quieter with less light pollution from RV porches, I don't know why some campers are lit up like xmas. 
A bit pricey as the camp fee does not include the park fee.

Great for a couple of nights. 

This is less than thirty minutes from my house, but feels like a world away. Spots are close but private and paved pads make leveling easy. Most sites are pull through along the road and include electric. Back in sites are also available. The campground was full even with the snow and cold in early September. There are very few undesirable spots within the grounds, and the group sites are exceptional. 

Vault and flush toilets are available at various locations through the campground, and there is a self-service dump station available at the front of the campground. We did run into the issue of people dumping buckets of waste in the dump station and not washing everything down, so look before you step. 

Tent pads are large platforms filled with pea gravel, and include well maintained picnic tables and fire rings. The grounds and campsites are beautifully maintained and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains are plentiful. 

Watch out for wildlife and be sure to read restrictions and rules on the maps provided at the gate - use and closures change seasonally. 

Absolutely Wonderful 

Wonderful walk-in tent camping site in the Turkey Meadow loop. Could view the Aspen trees in full color with Pikes Peak in the background. Peaceful and relatively private the week I was there.

Exceptional Fall Scenery

Now... I'm originally from Louisiana, and I now live in Texas, so my standards aren't very high, lol, but the restrooms were impeccable... Clean, smelled clean, and well maintained. The pit toilets we're even moderately comfortable, but I admittedly drove down to the comfort station bathroom twice in the night. It's far enough away from everything while still allowing you to drive to a pizza parlor in town for a nice dinner and a beer. 

Best State Park I've been in

This Colorado state park brings visitors year-round for all types of recreation. We have traveled here several times, both tent camping and in our camper. The views range from evergreens and aspen to Pikes Peak. Camping is a pleasure with electric hookups at several sites, a camper services station with showers, flush toilets, laundry, and a dump station with water filling. Water spigots are located throughout the park, but are not for camper filling. The rangers are consistently pleasant. Since the park is at 9,000 feet, bears and sporadic weather are present. The hiking trails are well-marked and lead to various ponds, abandoned buildings (from when this was a ranch) and an abundance of wildflowers. Fall is especially beautiful when the aspens turn gold. Winter camping is available and perfectly situated near sledding hills. There are several well-maintained picnic areas and a visitors center where you can learn about the wildlife and geology and purchase a few trinkets or the sweatshirt you will need by nightfall. There are no "bad" spots in this park. We particularly like 120, at the end of the loop. It is quiet and close to several trailheads. For more reviews of Mueller, see minnieoutwest.com.

Beautiful high altitude camping

Mueller is an extensive park. We really enjoy our time hiking and exploring. Bathrooms are clean and there are showers till mid-September when all indoor facilities shut down. Vault bathrooms will continue to operate all year long. Great fishing around a few pounds. Highly recommended especially in summer.

Great Altitude Camping

We tent camped at a walk-in site on “Prospector’s Ridge.”  Big wheelbarrows we’re provided to haul stuff to and from the campsite, which was definitely useful! Sites had plenty of space between them, nice and quiet. Pit toilets were clean. Overall the campground was really chill (maybe because kids just went back to school?). Lots of hiking! Firewood bundles for $5 at the park entrance - burned good! Florissant Fossil National Monument not far away for something different to do. We will stay here again!

Beautiful park with lots of hiking

Amazing views! Great cabins and camping spots not much on camper services!!

Amazing views and scenery

For a fully reserved, fully equipped campground on a holiday weekend, Tent camper, but stayed on an rv site with electrical (last spot available). For a fully booked campground on a holiday weekend, it was surprisingly quiet. I didn’t feel like the neighboring campsites were on top of us because the landscape and tree coverage creates some separation. I would have been happy with any off of these impeccably maintained sites. Keep in mind that dogs are not allowed on any of the trails in order to keep the wildlife close. Verizon was a little in and out but I was able to make calls and send photos. 

Surprisingly Quiet

Nice campground with lots of trails. There are great views all over the park.  Lots of wildlife, mainly deer.


Great Views

Nestled at nearly 10000 foot elevation is a relaxing comfortable camp ground.  Sites are far enough apart that you can enjoy the scenery rather than your neighbor.  Sites have electric.  Water is available in the camp ground.  Dump station available.  
Cell service with Verizon was good in camp ground but once you go hiking don't expect coverage.  
Lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. 

Beautiful peaceful mountain camping 

We were in the area trying to find a place to camp for our next trip and came across Mueller…we drove through and got out at the top to hike. We were unable to get a spot for the time of our next trip but will keep trying. Fantastic campground with outstanding facilities!

100% stay here

Great campground but a little tight.  Our site was a pull through with a tight radius for a 25ft trailer.  It worked though.  Steep drop off at door side of trailer.  Very quiet,  Starlink might be tough. No water at site but several drinking water stations with hose hookups.

Mueller site 45

High elevation campground. Sites well spread out. Gravel tent area. Many pull through RV sites. Separate tent area walk in also. Vault toilets. Clean, quiet camp. Short walk to Grouse peak. Aspens and pines. Stayed in sites 92 and 124. 5g T-Mobile.
