Cripple Creek KOA sits at 10,000 feet elevation on a mountainside, claiming the distinction of being the world's highest KOA campground. The campground spreads across cascading loops that stretch up the hillside, with sites arranged in tiers that provide views over neighboring campsites rather than into them. Bathrooms and shower facilities are located at the bottom of the hill, requiring a walk down for most campers.
The thin mountain air and dust are immediate realities here, but hummingbirds buzz around sites throughout the day, and many tent sites nestle among aspen groves. Joel R. notes that "sites are not jammed together, and the hillside does allow for views over other campsites." The campground maintains consistently clean facilities, with individual shower stalls and laundry rooms that reviewers repeatedly praise. An outdoor kitchen area provides cast iron skillets, stoves, and charcoal grills for camper use.
Full hookup sites accommodate RVs up to 50 feet, with many pull-through options available on level ground. The campground offers Hunt Brothers pizza delivery directly to sites, along with firewood delivery via phone order. Weekend pancake breakfasts cost $3 when available, and free s'mores nights bring campers together. A game room, board game checkout, and dog park provide additional amenities. WiFi reaches most sites, though cellular service varies by carrier.
Access requires driving mountain roads, and the elevation means cooler temperatures even in summer. The campground operates seasonally from late May through early October. Reservations are recommended, particularly for sites tucked into the aspens. For those exploring the area, campsites around Cripple Creek provide additional options, while nearby RNK Park and Camp offers an alternative just over a mile west. The historic mining towns of Cripple Creek and Victor sit minutes away, and Pikes Peak looms close enough for day trips.
