Enjoy spectacular views at Garden of The Gods camping at Pikes Peak, “America’s Mountain.” Our location among Colorado’s historical mountain towns will make your camping experience in Colorado Springs truly memorable. Adding to this, we’ve upgraded to give you the modern comforts. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, rallies, and even individuals who want to “disconnect” and explore the picturesque surroundings of the Garden of the Gods.
Imagine waking up to the beautiful view of Pikes Peak (14,115 feet above sea level), the most visited mountain in North America. Visit Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds (try the Bat-a-Pult ride!), and other area attractions. Stay in a fully equipped Cabin, pitch a tent or pull into an RV Site (including extra-large sites).

We’re outside the city lights at the base of Pikes Peak- 7600 feet elevation – yet our proximity to all the area’s many attractions makes us an ideal location for families looking for a summer adventure or folks just passing through for a couple of days. We strive to make every stay special. You will love it here at “the Duck”!

This is a lovely campground, overlooking Colorado Springs. There are some pull through sites and many back in. The wind can be a little fierce. The showers and other facilities are clean and well-maintained, and my only complaint is the showers are more lukewarm than hot.

Very accommodating staff. Most camping grounds in the area weren’t answering their phones after 16:00, others had automated systems and others had phone numbers that weren’t valid anymore. This camping ground not only was it open until 7pm on. Saturday but they had super friendly staff that did a great job and accommodated us last minute. We called at 18:50 and arrived at 21:00 and everything was ready for us! Would definitely recommend to anyone passing by!
GuideBeautiful location. Clean, modern restrooms. Well maintained services building with showers and laundry. Nice level sites.

Small park, plenty of room to relax. Trash receptacles close. Creek on the south side of park. Many pit toilet. Camp host during operation. Both times we stayed here the host was very helpful and friendly.

Nice CG with a lot of amenities for kids. Large sites, good FHUs. We booked a pull through - level gravel (shame they don't rake the sites between stays). A lot of constant road noise from I-25. Great riparian area with trails outside of the CG. We would stay here again.

The artwork on뉴토끼 webtoons is top-notch. Absolutely stunning!

We were charged $170 for a site in the middle of a gravel parking lot. It included dinner, breakfast and use of the hot springs. The WiFi didn’t reach us, but worked in the buffet style cafeteria-like dining area. Way overpriced for the experience!

From Texas, got married in Colorado two years ago and came back again this year to celebrate. Absolutely love camping and hiking, staff was friendly and everything has been clean so far. Super worried at first about hiking up to campsite but they have carts donated to help carry gear. This is one of the farther tent campsites on this side of the park and we had no issues getting there. Other than a bloody nose from elevation change. Beautiful view lots of wildlife:)
Guide
We had a great time. Our family and another reserved two sites next to each other. The pools on site were perfect for the kids. On site mini golf was a blast. The views in the campground were awesome. Aside from the aforementioned, there was a small store on site with ice and wood (can't bring your own wood) and the food they served at the mess hall was fire.
ScoutWe had a good time.. activities were fun and location is beautiful!

This place was great! We originally planned just to do a daily soak before heading to our next campsite but ended up just staying here because we enjoyed it so much. The camp sites were simple but great and you have total access to all hot springs, bathrooms, showers, sauna, AND a communal outdoor kitchen. We participated in the clothing optional experience but didn’t feel like we had to. Great people all around from guests to staff. Highly recommend!

Stayed One night for Tent Camping, came with everything needed. Clean bathroom and showers. Great scenery and amazing night sky view.

Spent one night here. Beautiful park with great hiking trails and full hook ups. Up on the side of a mountain overlooking Colorado Springs. Went to sleep hearing taps and was woken up hearing reveille. Also was visited by several jets from the nearby army base. Spaces were very nice and level and were oncrete with a picnic table. My only two complaints was you had to pay an extra $10 to get into the park even though you paid &46 to camp there and the road up to the campground for about a mile and a half was pretty steep, probably 8 to 9% grade. Watch your brakes coming down.
Guide
I chose this park due to the other reviews but they obviously had much different experience than we did. We were given camp site 44 and we were shocked! When we backed our little Little Guy teardrop camper into the spot we were 13 feet from the camper on the left, and there were 3 campers backed in at the back within FEET. Then a new camper pulled in on the right, a camper van. It was 5 feet from our door. Basically, it was like cramming 3 campers into one spot. It was like they put 3 campers in 1 campsite. This was an inside camp spot. The outer spots had more room. Also, out sewer hook up was 10 inches above ground making it super hard to get drainage. We looked around and there were quite a few like that but most were close to the ground. Like I said, it’s like they made 3 site out of one. The bathhouse is fine. They do have a nice laundry facility but you have to sign up for a time slot since the campground is so big. They had firewood and camper/camping supplies at the office. Given how many other campgrounds are in the area, I wouldn’t stay at this one again.

ScoutI asked for a space for my rv. The owner, Lauren offered me a site with only water and charged me 50.00. REALLY!!!!!!! No dog park. The stream that goes through the campground is VERY POLLUTED. No where to walk. The shower room had a vent that is so DIRTY that it is no ventilation. Muddy mess when it rains everyday. No pavement through the park. Owner is too busy dating someone who walks around like he owns the place.

When arrived at prairie ridge were we had reservations and our site was already taken . The camp host happened to drive by and contact a Ranger for us the other person for site 256 and 258 mixed up .. we agrees to just swap sites for the weekend and Al worked out (the other site was a bit nicer it had tree coverage ). Sites were huge but took some leveling . We caught a few small catfish and got to take in the beautiful lake .
GuideNorthern Plains campground, Yucca Flats. Great little spot. There is plenty of room for our 30-foot trailer. Electric hook-ups only, 20, 30, and 50 amp. The picnic table had a nice metal shade. Fire pit. Spot well groomed and clean. Small Russian Olive tree, minimal shade.
About a five minute walk to the lake, great little Cliff side fishing spots. Batbroom a 2 minute walk, free showers, and clean. Spot had plenty of room to also park a RAM 2500.
Temperatures got upward of 99+ when we were here, so if you're tent camping in late July, be prepared!
Lake Pueblo is huge, with multiple boat docks, beaches, and places to swim and explore. If you like lakes, this is a great place to visit!
Traveler
This is a good place to park the camper and see the attractions around Colorado nice level spots clean restrooms and well kept grounds … however the spots are so close together you can hand your neighbors the sugar from your Rv windows .. no real room to set outside and enjoy . The owners were very friendly .

Very quiet and bathroom and showers were clean

Convenient, safe campground near several attractions in the heart of Colorado Springs.

Overall was a good spot close to Manitou Lake and Cheesman Canyon areas. A lot of open spots on a mid-June weekend but glad we reserved as some were really small. The campground was pretty nice especially spot #2 which had a ton of space to itself: clean, close access to restrooms/trash, good fire pits, chopped wood for sale, and overall well maintained by Jerry the host. My only gripe about this campground is all the spots were really angled making it a bit awkward for a RTT'er. Sort of narrow parking and very angled lots - just need to bring leveling blocks or a way to prop yourself a bit which we had.
Bugs not bad at all and quiet from the main road down the way which was nice. Would highly recommend for tenters and RTT'ers.

RangerSites are large, clean and most have firepits. Lots of amenities like pool, fun center, games, pool slides, bouncy mat, etc. Plus a good location.. BUT the bathrooms and showers are Nasty...never fully cleaned, water pressure is weak, and the showers don't have hooks or benches to put your clothes on.
