"Loved the setting and the short walk to Lake Isabel as well as the empty picnic area across the creek."

"We probably had the worst walk-in site, distance wise. A long walk with all of our stuff. We'll chose a different one next time. All-in-all, it's a great clean CG with an attentive host."
"Great camping spot just south of Colorado Springs. The views were amazing of all the tall, gorgeous aspen trees and we were right by the creek which at night was so very peaceful to fall asleep too."
GuideSpacious sites with full hookups, reasonable rates, very friendly staff, very well maintained and clean.
ScoutPaul, the owner, insisted on parking us and giving inch-by-inch instructions. He was terrible toward my wife, who was standing at the back of the rv and called to tell me I was hitting a tree. He demanded she get off the phone and stop interfering. Had she not "interfered", I would have damaged my RV. Paul didn't care, his ego was too fragile to admit a mistake. We were parked right next to highway 50 and experienced road noise at all hours. We drove past the KOA later and regretted not staying there.
TravelerHad my gear and saw a sign, so decided to drive up the mountain to this campsite from the Highway of Legends. There’s a six mile drive up a dirt road with some great vistas on the way up. It was totally manageable in my sedan.
There are only a handful of sites and they are first-come-first-serve. Only three sites were taken when we arrived and the available sites were still great.
GuideWords can't begin to describe this place. Simply beautiful, peaceful, and one with nature. We stayed right next to the river. We sat by the fire and just enjoyed the sounds of the river.
ScoutIt’s an easy drive from Westcliff. Too easy. I expected crowds of out of state tourists and maybe a few locals. But to my surprise it was virtually empty.i grabbed a cozy site right next to the creek. Lovely sounds.
The environs where I camped was a dense mix of deciduous and conifer trees., and on either side of the road and campsites, there were very steep, heavily wooded slopes. But a confusing feature are the No Trespassing signs as you enter the campground. I don’t know where the hiking is.
My phone and WiFi (through my phone) worked very well. I have AT&T currently and there was no one here to ask about other carriers.
In the late afternoon there was one of the biggest storms I’ve ever experienced. The thunder was loud, extended and close! Leaving did cross my mind. But two hours later it was quiet again. Glad I stayed.
ScoutGreat spot for our first RV stay. Good views of Spanish peaks and site was very quiet. Bathrooms with showers and toilets were close by. Electric hookup at our site, and the communal water hookup was across from us. We generally prefer more seclusion and privacy which we had for the most part with trees, etc. at this site. Some sites didn’t have that.
Lathrop State Park is a gem - good hiking / views, a golf course, and swimming / water activities.
TravelerStopped in Cañon City then drove out to phantom canyon gold belt tour. The coordinates will take you to where the paved road turns to dirt. You need to go a few more miles and you will see signs for BLM land. The farther you go the better the sites. We camped next to Eight Mile Creek and the tunnel. The flies and mosquitos were bad but our bug screens did their job until dark then we had to close up the van. It was an amazing experience being in the canyon. Starlink worked great as there is no Verizon cellular for miles. It took us three attempts to get our overweight 2-wheel drive van up the hill and back onto the road. There are a lot of loose rocks. We are planning to head back down and drive the whole byway this fall.
ScoutCamping here now, be prepared there is no anything. Wonderful views of multiple 14ers, and the sand dunes very close by.
