Cell coverage varies significantly by location, with stronger signals near larger towns like Canon City and Salida. Pet policies generally allow dogs with typical restrictions, while park amenities range from basic utilities to more developed facilities with showers, laundry, and small stores.

According to one review, "It's right across the road from a Walmart and Sonic, but down in a small valley so you don't hear the road noise."
