ScoutGreat spot for relaxing weekend getaway for our family. Plenty of room for the kids to explore and they even had a blow up bouncy house for them during the day. Hot tub under the stars at evening time. Very clean bathrooms!
ScoutLake Wellington is a beautiful family and dog friendly campground just about 90 minutes from Denver. There are 75 sites, and even when it's pretty full they are decently spaced out that you don't feel too on top of other guests. We brought our dogs and a group of friends and had a great few nights, even seeing Bald Eagles mating!
ScoutI want to start on a positive because that is the type of person I am, and because this review is going to have a lot of negative. This park is a great location for sightseeing, especially if you are going to Pikes Peak by way of the Cog or shopping in Manitou. My GM and I worked hard to make the park as great as we could with the very little funding that we got. As seen in the reviews we had excellent customer service and had high standards for keeping the park clean. I was very good at my job and I loved doing the work until the new owners took over. When the park was sold, we had high hopes that the new owners would be good people and want to put real work into the park. We were very disappointed that they turned out to be money grubbing horrible people. Ken, one of the owners, treats people and his business very Trump like. He and his wife must state that they are religious more than a few times when having a conversation; I personally think this is to make themselves look good to cover the toxicity that truly lies under the surface. When they meet people, they put on a façade and lie and say whatever they think people want to hear to get what they want; proven to me by the broken verbal promises they made to me. They are not community driven; they are money driven; you can make money and still be good people, but they chose not to be. They practice wage theft just like big corporations by over working employees and under paying them; in their words“you must wear all hats”. They are the type of people that use others until they don’t need them then throw them away like garbage. I was bullied into quitting on a phone call where Ken was very disrespectful and unprofessional with me. The phone call was me trying to explain that I could no longer do the FB post due to our deferent ethical viewpoints, and he would not let me talk by saying“you are not doing your job, are you going to quit” repeatedly. I found out that I was not allowed to post about Manitou Pride parade because he said,“it is not family friendly, and the company and I do not promote the LGBTQ+ community”. I am a proud member of that community and so I should not be the one to post on FB for the company. The groundman quit a day later because of disrespect and broken verbal promises. Then a few days later my boyfriend was fired and then Sheryl the GM was fired.(I believe they were fired for retaliation) Ken only wants employees that are easy to exploit or controlled, because he is incapable of managing people without fear and bullying. He boasted that he is called the grim reaper in business, but I don’t think that is the flex he thinks it is. But yes, he was the destruction of the community we put so much work into. I also want to voice my disappointment in Dana, who Sheryl worked hard getting to be allowed to come back as an employee. Dana did great work her first summer with us, so it was a shock to see her true colors show when she started to brown nose Ken. She spread multiple rumors, I feel the worst one was about Melinda’s daughter and the things she wrote about in her diary. I also did not like how she used David, the guy that does the golfcart tours in Manitou, was nice to his face then talked so badly about him when he was not around. I truly think Jesue and her father would be ashamed of her for how she acted to get her new position.
TravelerIf you are going to camp at a lakefront spot definitely have something you can sit in else you will be attacked by flies. Super quiet during the week - got busy over the weekend.
GuideOur Campsite was nice, very clean and well kept. It did seems like the sites were a bit to close together and every spot filled. Pads were level, area around the picnic table spacious. Pit toilets were clean. The dump station was very nice and easy to use. We were driving down through Colorado to view the Fall Aspen leaves. I wish we would have stayed longer at this campsite. We stayed at the Conifer Ridge loop site 46 ...
LegendSmall place right off hwy 24 at the base of the mountains. Coffee place across the street and an auto parts store out front, not a bad combination for an RV park. Ita pretty much just a gravel lot but there are some trees. Not a bad stop but not a destination
LegendDont follow gps follow the signs its on the left hand side. If yiu go past you will go to a tariler court. Place isnt very much nature. Its an rv park in town. Alot of long term residents and traveling workers. Has a small playground for kids. Dumpsters and a dump station. Not a bad stop along your trip but wouldnt call it a destination
LegendIt looks like this place has turned into a tiny house community there are a couple small RV spots but mostly its been overtaken by what looks like long term tiny homes nice place tho
LegendNice little campground, and the front desk lady was super friendly and welcoming. The location is really the key factor—very convenient to all the major hiking trails, most of which are about 15 minutes or less away. You can hear a little road noise, but it wasn’t too bad. The sites are fairly close together, and the showers and bathrooms were very clean.
Unfortunately, I did have one negative experience the evening before we left.
I went to use the bathroom, and as I was exiting, I was approached by a man who lives in the camper directly next to the bathhouse. His first words to me were, “If I see you go back into the bathhouse with those wipes in your hand, I’m going to boot and ban you.”
I apologized and explained that I didn’t realize the wipes were not allowed. There were no signs indicating this policy, it isn’t listed on the website, and no one at the office had mentioned it. I even showed him the package, which states that the wipes are biodegradable and septic/sewer safe. He responded that people should use common sense and again told me that if I used them, I would be booted and banned. He also said he had just done the same thing to another camper two days earlier.
I completely understand the need to protect a campground’s septic and sewer systems, and I would have respected the rule if I had been made aware of it. My issue was the way the situation was handled. Instead of simply and politely saying, “Please don’t use those wipes because they can cause problems with our system,” I was immediately threatened with being booted and banned.
The interaction felt unnecessarily hostile and unfriendly. It also left me feeling uncomfortable, as though campers are being watched closely rather than simply being approached respectfully when there is an issue.
That was especially disappointing because, aside from this encounter, our stay was pleasant. A little communication and a more courteous approach would have made a big difference in the overall experience.

Pike's Peak access: Stay at Lone Duck Campground and Cabins for easy access to one of Colorado's most famous mountains. A camper noted, "We stayed at Lone Duck for two nights but we absolutely loved it! We rent camped right next to the little stream and saw so much wildlife! It was awesome!"
Fishing excursions: The cabin accommodations at Spillway Campground offer proximity to excellent trout fishing. "Beautiful canyon. River is easy to access and the fishing is very good. This is a popular area, but the reservation system does not allow over crowding. Humming birds were every where," shared one visitor.
Historic mining tours: Many cabin rentals provide access to the region's mining history. A visitor to the area mentioned, "The towns of Cripple Creek and Victor are full of old mining history!" Guided tours of historic mines operate from May through September with admission ranging from $10-25 per person.
Elevated cabin experiences: Mueller State Park Campground offers cabins with stunning vistas. One camper stated, "This is one of the gems in Colorado. Great well taken care of campground with electrical hook ups and gorgeous grounds. All sites looked well taken care of. Had a great time."
Wildlife viewing: Cabin guests frequently report wildlife sightings. A visitor mentioned, "We saw deer wander around the campsites every morning and evening. The sites are terraced so that everyone has a beautiful view." Many cabin sites include binocular rentals for wildlife spotting.
Private showers: Contrary to shared facilities, some cabin options at Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort feature upgraded bathroom amenities. "The bathhouse is extremely clean, with several private bathroom/shower rooms. There is also a laundry with 4 washers & dryers. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the folks are all friendly."
Limited cell service: Many cabins in the higher elevations have restricted connectivity. A camper noted, "Only minor knock was the cell service which was nonexistent but they did have free internet which was a satisfactory alternative."
Cabin bedding requirements: Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own sheets, pillows, and towels. Always check the reservation details before arrival to confirm what's provided versus what you need to bring.
Weather fluctuations: The temperature can change dramatically in a single day. "Got below freezing so be ready for the cold," warned one visitor. Pack layers even for summer cabin stays as nighttime temperatures regularly drop 30-40 degrees from daytime highs.
Adventure activities: Royal Gorge-Canon City KOA cabins provide family entertainment options. "Campground had lots of RV sites and fewer tent sites but nice tent sites. Beautiful views of the mountains and close to many of the rafting companies and other local attractions as well as to the Royal Gorge bridge and hiking. The kids loved the go-karting, mini-golf and giant slide."
Altitude adjustment: Families staying in cabins at higher elevations should plan for acclimation. One experienced camper advised, "Keep the elevation in mind when choosing activities. Being a 'flatlander,' it takes about 7-10 days for your body to adjust to high elevations, so allocate more time on the trails for recovery breaks and hydration."
Educational opportunities: Many cabin sites offer junior ranger programs and nature walks. A parent shared, "The park is clean and rangers are always around checking in. Close to town and great hikes. Can't wait to go back!" These programs typically run from June through August and last 1-2 hours.

"The camp sites are well maintained and have vaulted toilets and water pumps conveniently located throughout the campgrounds. Everybody was respectful of each other's space and quiet."
Grocery planning: Colorado Springs KOA offers cabin options with convenient supply access. A visitor commented, "We grabbed a quick cabin... All five of us spent the night, actually pretty comfortably, and got a great night's sleep. All and all a very positive experience at the KOA's wonderful, clean facilities."
Reservation timing: Book cabin accommodations 3-6 months in advance for summer stays. Winter cabins typically require less lead time but holiday weekends fill quickly regardless of season.
