Gret people, Great park.
One of the best remote, clean, RV parks I've been to. While it was a little out of season, and we were one of two campers here, we loved it. The owners are incredibly nice. The views are great (Pikes Peak nearby). Close enough to Pueblo and 35 mins to Colorado Springs. A few horses, and dog park in this park are great.

Rougher road beautiful views
It's an almost off road situation. Depending on what side of the trail you come in from. Awd and a higher clearance vehicle are recommended. But the views and seclusion are totally worth it. Not many people out here and not a lot of late arriving folks. Has a decent amount of spots along the way and the night skies are absolutely worth the lack of shade in most of the spots.

busy, but nice
all drive in campsites, paved road. Very busy, spots are very close to one another. but right off the resivoir.

Beautiful spot but low clearance vehicles beware
Absolutely gorgeous spot but a little bumpy to get to. If you're ok with driving a couple miles over exposed cobble or have a 4x4 this is the place for you. A few spots spread around one nice shaded spot and some in the open with plenty of pinion pine to shade under. The creek flowing nearby seems clean and clear. Gorgeous sunset views

Alvarado Campground
Great jumping off point/base camp for awesome hikes in the Sangres. Never been there when it wasn't peaceful and well-kept.
Stan C.TravelerAlvarado Campground
Will be back again
We don’t repeat many campgrounds because there are so many to discover in Colorado. But have already decided this is one of our exceptions. Generally quiet, lots of trees, cooler weather, lots of variety of sites. Camp hosts are great. While not the campsite’s fault the gravel portion of the road coming up here is washboarded pretty bad in places.

Alvarado Campground
Peace and quiet
This campground is easily accessible and has beautiful views! The restrooms are clean and well taken care of, camp host is friendly and helpful. Fire wood bundle available here for $10, really not a bad price, the fire pits are perfect size with a grill. Love love love this campground, can’t wait to come back !

Alvarado Campground
I think people who reserve...
Should be fined. It is prior to the memorial day weekend and one camper in first come first serve put tickets on 2 first come first serve sites days in advance. Apparently paid senior on all 3 sites. Not cool that would be 150 per day per camp per violation.

What campers like
Spacious sites: Equestrians appreciate the larger, pull-through sites at Haggards RV Campground for accommodating trailers.

Dog facilities: Horse owners traveling with canine companions value dedicated pet areas. "There is a nice dog park on-site. In fact, the best we've seen while traveling. Our older greyhound, who usually just follows us, actually did a few laps," says Terry P. about Haggards RV Campground.

What you should know
Fluctuating water quality: Water access for horses requires planning and filtration. "Water system needs work; well water has rust and sediment, be prepared!" cautions Joel G. about Haggards RV Campground. Bringing supplemental water or purification systems is advisable.
Road conditions: Access to some horse camping areas requires high-clearance vehicles. "The roads are windy but the view after are amazing," reports tavita P. about Temple Canyon Park, while Hermit Pass OHV trails present additional challenges as "your vehicle will prob need new brakes after this trip. Super beautiful but the road never eases up," warns Carissa G.
Reservation status: BLM Rec. Trail Dispersed offers free camping without reservations but requires cleanup vigilance. "The spot I picked had candy wrappers and street chalk to pick up. The previous Bozos, yeah Bozo is appropriate, left a hot bed of coals in the fire pit," notes Roger J.
