Golden Eagle Campground

This is a large park with beautiful views. 
The roads &amp; sites are not ideal. We felt like we were off roaming in our RV. We watched a pull behind bottom out while pulling out of their site. 
Not a great playground but it did have a swing set &amp; big tires to climb. 
We were in a 𝑫𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒙𝒆 site # 478 which has a yard with a picnic table. All hook ups available but the water was on the opposite side &amp; pretty far. Luckily we also had our cold weather hose so we hooked them both together to reach. 

Beautiful View

Great fishing lake. Cool bug museum in the registration building. Very close to fort carson.

Excellent family camping site!

We stayed 2 nights, camping in a tent. We paid $36/night for a tent spot with water and electricity. While we didn't have a horrible experience, I'm going to rate the campground as a 3 because it's "just OK". The employees are friendly, but the office seemed to be quite chaotic.

Once past the office and the steep incline to the camping area, the road turns to gravel. The road is reasonably maintained, but there are ruts. The gravel road kicks up dust when vehicles go past.

The shower/toilet facilities are a basic cinder block building with wooden stalls for toilets. Showers provided a decent flow of hot and cold water, but the flimsy plastic curtain provided little privacy. We saw cleaners at the bathhouse every morning around 8:30 and again of an evening. 

There were some petty annoyances we experienced, but what most visitors will notice is the ambient noise level. SH 115 is about 1 mile (1.5km) away and there is a lot of road noise. Especially the "jake brakes" on heavy trucks. A lot of activity from Ft. Carson is heard--helicopters flying; heavy guns being discharged; reveille, retreat, and taps on the PA.

OK for a quick getaway, but some problems

At it's finest! This is really a great location and campground for long term stays. In spite if the numerous hailstirms in the area, this site is fabulous!! A was here for 2 months and found the site to be well maintained and patrolled. Staff were always friendly and helpful. most sites are well shaded and well drained during rain storms. Also, be sure to see the May Tropical Museum while you are there.

Long term Camping..

Sites share a power pole but still not so close as some places. 🚿 Showerhouse &amp; bathhouse was clean and handicap accessible. Museum on site was small but interesting. Friendly, helpful staff.

Side of the mountain side 

Seriously looking around the area we stumbled upon this gym. It’s amazing. The tent set ups are perfect and the facilities are a bonus. Love the location to bounce around the area. 

So amazing! 

We wanted to spend time in Colorado and Manitou Springs, but not be in town overnight. This is just off a main road, but is far enough away to not hear the noise. The first night we were in site 197 and it was really close to other sites. The second night we moved to 482 and it was much better. We faced the hills and didn’t have any neighbors. If it is busy the sites would be close together.

The hook ups were okay. The black water hook up was old and didn’t screw in place; we had to place the metal plate over the top to keep it down and in place. Other campgrounds have nicer stub ups that are treaded. 

WiFi was not reliable, but didn’t miss having the device for a couple days.

Staff was really nice and helpful. 

Close enough to town, but out in nature 

All amenities functioned good. The hole to the sewer was a little janky, but nothing too disruptive to our dumping routine. Wifi is free, but is very slow and very unreliable. No streaming videos are allowed. We had fine AT&amp;T cell service though so used our phone hotspot. Nice and clean laundry facilities. Campground had everything we needed. They opened up a spot for us day of that they normally don't rent out which was super nice and instead of just staying one night, we ended up staying a week! We could have moved to a more shady spot on the camp after the first night, but we stayed put. Friendly staff and great customer service. They don't do weekly rates, just daily or monthly. Pretty rugged and simple campsite, but pretty road to drive on to get there and very accessible to Colorado Springs! We had to hook up and unhook on a small incline which was a little tricky, but I don't think they were all like that across the campground. The most exciting part of this place is the accessibility to miles and miles of trails on site. You can walk to from your RV site and get a legit workout in. You definitely get some elevation gain for sure, especially on Trail 2! It was good to be here to adjust to the elevation. The people around us respected quiet hours and we had no problem bad issues with noise.

Nice campground for RV! 

Good sites for tent camping and they have a beautiful hike that takes you all the way up a huge hill. Several people live there so it takes away from the camping experience…and the cleanliness of the camp. But, again, a great site for a few nights!

Great site for a few nights 

Everyone has different likes but for us it was perfect!!! Rustic and still has that dry camping feel.  Wifi is weak but why go camping if you need wifi.  Spaces are close but not to close.  If you want space to camp, why go to a campground, go dry camp.  Staff and hosts are friendly, hosts brought wood to our neighbors.  Had deer walk right through camp both days.  Fire pit was in a weird location but it still works.  If your looking to glamp, I would go somewhere else.  I would definitely return!!! 

Perfect spot for us!!

Make sure you get here before dark. We didn’t and we went to totally wrong way. Very rough terrain in our class C. The campground staff saved us. She actually walked and showed us which way to go. And even after that they were so helpful. This is a very nice campground with a beautiful view of the mountains.

Loved it !

This campsite is nice. There are a handful of people who live there so ot doesn’t completely feel like camping. There’s an extremely beautiful hike to the top of a small mountain, you’re able to see so much of CO once you get to the top. The campsites are pretty close to each other though they do have a few good ones that are secluded. Campsite is the best when it’s not that packed, or else your on top of the other campers. 

Good place for quick camping

Really pretty spot nice fishing pond you have to pay day to day to fish in it. Bathroom buildings were pretty old and a little dirty.  We appreciated the bug museum on site for our toddler but also had to pay to get in there. Should have been included I think. Had a little store but no grocery type items because "thier season was almost over." We stayed in September.  Beautiful view of mountains there though, dirt spots, mostly level. Small plates area for kids. Pretty easy to get to. Close ish to cave of winds and red rock 

Beautiful spot 

We had the most amazing vacation camping at Golden Eagle. From the start, I was looking for a campsite and stumbled onto their website after failing to find anything in the national parks or really anywhere. I called them to book because we had 10 people traveling, and I wasn't sure about the size of each site. The ladies on the phone were so helpful. We booked 2 adjacent sites. When we arrived, it was more of the same thing; the people working in the office, the camp hosts that drove around the campsites, everyone was so friendly, informative, and helpful. They answered questions and explained everything perfectly. I highly recommend camping here. It's also located within driving distance to MANY Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs attractions. We visited Pikes Peak, Garden of the God's, Manitou, the Manotou Springs Cliff Dwelings, and Denver during our stay.
