"too close to colorado springs. works a a early season test trip but it to close too the front range so always overcrowded. bonus: go to cripple creek opposed to a campfire."
"Electric hookups available. Sites are all paved back-in or pull thru and pretty level. Great level gravel areas to pitch tent as well at each site. This is bear country."
"We originally got a delux tent spot with water and electric but when a storm came through and blew our tent down and since we had been roughing it for the past few days it really made for some bad times"
"Convenient location to Cripple Creek CO. Mountain views. Situated on meadow hillside. Hiking trails, full hookups, fire rings with grills, picnic tables. Level sites with many pull thrus."
"Convenient location close to the park and the town shops. Lots of amenities at the campgrounds including very clean bathrooms and showers. Good WiFi available."
"RV park is in a good spot and overall the staff was helpful. Wifi worked well. Breakfast place was only open our last couple days."
$40 - $87 / night
"They had the site ready for us when we arrived.
Site 45 was great for our pop up. If we had our 30’ trailer, we wouldn’t have had room for our truck."
"However, we had site T-25, and due to the surrounding shrubbery, it was more secluded than most sites."
$28 - $144 / night
"Amazing view and location. The walk in tent sites offer a fire pit, lockout food box for bears, picnic table and camp tent area. The bathrooms were not up kept well and very cold."
"Clean showers and bathrooms in multiple locations. Decent AT&T service. I was able to work off cellular internet. It was nice to have hiking trails on-site."
"Linens provided, clean! Even though we had neighbors on either side of us pretty close, it was a very quiet peaceful stay."
"Fun for kids with pool and slides as well as a lot of activities created by the staff for kids. Right by a riverside with scenic walks. Campsites are clean and quiet at night."
"Very nice campground, friendly staff, clean facilities."
"We stopped here on a last minute reservation.. staff helped us from start to finish to make our stay a good one.. Our site had a patio and lawn furniture.. plenty of space."
$30 - $110 / night
"Checking into the campsite is easy, they have an iPad for late arrivals to check in with their reservation numbers and a map with directions to your site."
"It is located in Woodland Park, a lovely mountain town about 30-40 min. outside Colorado Springs. Lots of sites, mostly RV but there is a nice tent only section with a good number of spaces."
$28 - $120 / night
"Another site was handicap accessible like this one but the others were situated further back in the scrub in dirt trails offering greater privacy."
"Cheyenne Mountan State Park is remarkably close to Colorado Springs, which makes it perfect for a quick getaway…. if you can score reservations. This park fills up fast!"
$28 - $41 / night
"It was more private than some (like 29 which was right off the path), but it was connected to a hiking trail so the random person would stroll by on the rare occasion."
"We reserved two walk in sites (30 and 34) and it was easy to find them. The walk in sites are between 20-40 feet form the parking lot and on a slight (and rocky) hill."
GuideLone Duck Campground was a good home base for us during our visit to Colorado Springs. The campground is several miles down from Woodland Park and about the same down to Manitou and the Springs. We were out and about during the days, but Lone Duck was nice to return to each afternoon.
Reservations were easy to do online. They had the site ready for us when we arrived.
Site 45 was great for our pop up. If we had our 30’ trailer, we wouldn’t have had room for our truck. The site is right next to a lovely stream that really drowned out any road noise. We slept great with the white noise the stream produced. Our site had a picnic table and fire pit (with grill grate). We had water and 30/20 amp electric.
The bathrooms/showers were in the main office. The men’s restroom had a couple of stalls and three showers. They were sufficient for me. The women’s restroom was small and cramped according to my wife. It appears the floors and walls had been coated with a garage floor or bed-liner material. It wasn’t the most appealing but again was sufficient. We did use the laundry room and all machines worked fine.
There is a store, small dining area, and arcade in the main office along with the restrooms and laundry room. Wifi was hit or miss from the campsites. It was better inside the office. The check in staff was aware of the wifi and mentioned they were working on it. (We weren’t here for the internet so again, not an issue for us).
The kids did swim in the pool. The water was warm and they seemed to enjoy playing with other kiddos there. There is a small playground next to the pool and fishing pond. Kids played there frequently until quiet hours.
There are a few small cabins on the grounds and separate sections of the park for tents. There are houses just across the stream from our site but we never heard from or noticed any of the neighbors.
There is quite a bit of greenery throughout the campground. I thought the place could use a mowing or weed eating, but maybe it’s normal to have local grasses/plants left alone to grow.
As others have mentioned it is a bit tricky getting in and out. If you leave toward Woodland Park, you’ll have to cross a couple of lanes and make u-turn. Same thing of your coming to the campground from Manitou. You’ll make a u-turn.
Overall, we liked the place and would stay again.
GuideThis little gem hidden away in the mountains was a perfect spot for our Mother/Son roadtrip. We originally got a delux tent spot with water and electric but when a storm came through and blew our tent down and since we had been roughing it for the past few days it really made for some bad times but we were able to upgrade into a cabin and it made our night so much better. The family who runs the KOA were so welcoming and kind. They gave us information on a good fishing spot where my 7 yr old son caught his first trout and he fed his tribe. Lol everything was so clean. There are washers and dryers available. They had a nice gift shop and provided a s’mores night for the campers for free. They have pancake breakfast for $3 on Saturday and Sunday ( not always). Overall it was an amazing place to camp everything was reasonably priced and lots of activities for the kids. Board games were able to be checked out, there was a game room where the kids spent most of their time. There is a dog park area. Hummingbirds enjoyed the area as well
They had an outdoor kitchen with cast iron skillets for the campers to use as well as a stove and two big charcoal grills up at the main building
Very nice KOA
also it’s the WORLDS HIGHEST KOA @ 10,000 ft
ScoutWe stayed in one of the glamping tents at Bear Bottoms and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The tent was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. All tucked away in the woods! The bed was cozy, the lighting created a peaceful ambiance, and we loved having little touches of rustic charm with modern comfort.
The property itself is serene and so well-maintained. We enjoyed relaxing by the stove in the evenings, listening to the sounds of nature, and just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation (there is some light traffic sounds that died down at night). Us and the dog enjoyed roaming and hiking in the area.
The hosts were fantastic! Debbie and Justin were friendly, responsive, and clearly passionate about creating a special place for guests. Every detail felt intentional and welcoming.
If you're looking for a unique getaway that blends the beauty of nature with the comforts of home, Bear Bottoms Glamping is a must.
GuideBeautiful lakeside camping just outside of Denver. Campsites are a bit close together, but great for groups! No hookups here but you have bathroom facilities and a visitor center where you can buy firewood. Campfires allowed in the fire pits. If you have an RV beware quiet hours from 10pm to 8am, no generators allowed. Lake is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing and you will most likely have phone service if you are with AT&T or Verizon. Many day use areas, however vehicles and individuals are charged. For campers, if you bring more than one vehicle you will be charged daily for any additional ones. No drinking water is available, you must bring your own. Dirt roads to the lake are rough and narrow. Close to Deckers for incidentals. Intersects with the Colorado trail for hiking and biking and close to the Colorado River for tubing!
TravelerWe loved this koa, it happened to be our first to ever stay at... now we’ve booked 2 others! We stayed in a small basic cabin, it was great! Linens provided, clean! Even though we had neighbors on either side of us pretty close, it was a very quiet peaceful stay. They have a small water park across from the office... perfect for the kids (even though it was about a high of 50 degrees, it was so enticing the kiddos still swam!) all of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and hot showers! Small creek or river behind the property that was beautiful! An outdoor kitchen and wash room (super amazing amenity!) Activities were planned also each night we were there. Over all this koa defiantly started our addiction! Highly recommend for the family!
ScoutConvenient location to Cripple Creek CO. Mountain views. Situated on meadow hillside. Hiking trails, full hookups, fire rings with grills, picnic tables. Level sites with many pull thrus. Helpful owners. Sparkling bathrooms. Individual showers. Laundry rooms. Hummingbirds everywhere.

I never thought at my age(64) I would ever be interesting in accompanying my daughter's family on a tent camping trip! It was my birthday and there were fresh cut flowers with a lovely birthday wish awaiting me next to my bedside table. Thank you! Debbie and Justin blew us away with their tent camping experience. Luxuriously decorated tents complete with comfortable queen size beds, kitchen table and 4 chairs, and living room areas as well as your own camp restroom outside your tent and private gazebo with more seating, table and outdoor solar lights. We enjoyed the local restaurants& attractions such as Santa's Workshop, a gold mine tour where they taught us how to pan for gold, Garden of the Gods, AJ's Pizza and a steam engine train ride in Cripple Creek. The kids loved the property as much as they loved sightseeing in the area. They hiked, ran around in the green space, played on the swing set and even got to help Ms Debbie gather fresh eggs from her mama hens. We bought some of her eggs and they were delicious! The area was truly some of the most picturesque that I have ever experienced and the wild life is abundant so keep your food locked up in your car which you can park conveniently outside your front door. Mr Justin was always busy working on improving this rustic piece of property but always had time to meet any need that arose during our stay. We can not wait to return and see the 1930s cabins that they are in the process of restoring. If they are anything like their tents they will be amazing.
LegendWe stayed at the Lone Duck campground for two nights in September 2017, with the intention of hiking Pike’s Peak. We were in the middle of a road trip from Southern California to Denver, CO, for a pole dance competition that I competed in. After the road trip out, the mental exhaustion of competing in an international competition, and the HEAT, we decided that we would hike Pike’s Peak some other time and just spend our day relaxing before heading to RMNP to camp and hike. Lone Duck Campground is the perfect place to relax!
We are tent campers, and prefer to be in more “traditional” outdoor campgrounds in parks or forests, etc, but for an urban campground, Lone Duck was great! While the layout of the Lone Duck Campground certainly accommodates for RV campers, the campground also has nice little tent sites with grassy areas to pitch a tent. Our site had grass, shade, a picnic table, and a fire ring - everything you need for a basic campsite.
The tent sites are fairly small and open to the neighboring sites, but that is to be expected in these more urban campgrounds. However, we had site T-25, and due to the surrounding shrubbery, it was more secluded than most sites. The campground is right off the highway, so there is some noise pollution from the nearby traffic. Overall the campground was peaceful and everyone seemed to respect the set quiet hours. It is $36 for two people to stay in a standard tent site WITHOUT hookups…the nightly fee increases with added equipment hookups and additional people.
The benefit to camping in an urban campground like Lone Duck is all the extras you don’t find in all traditional, basic campgrounds! Lone duck had a pool, free wifi, and CLEAN, HOT, COIN-FREE showers! After sweating in the summer sun all day, returning to camp and showering is the best feeling in the world.
The camp hosts were very friendly, and provided nice home-cooked breakfast in the morning for only $5! As much as we enjoy cooking when we camp, it was soooo nice not having to dirty up then clean our camp kitchen. The breakfast was very well worth $5!
Lone Duck also had a small pond/lake to fish in, a jungle gym, a game room and a basketball court. We did not partake in any of those amenities, but they make Lone Duck a very family friendly campground where kids can stay entertained!
Since we decided to be lazy and forego hiking Pike’s Peak, we slept in, enjoyed the Lone Duck breakfast, and researched what we could do to beat the heat. We knew we wanted to go to the Garden of the Gods later that afternoon after it cooled off and to see the sunset, but needed something to do before then to escape the heat. We ended up backtracking back up towards our previous stop in Denver, and went to the Coors Plant in Golden, CO. I’m not much of a beer drinker, let alone Coors, but my boyfriend likes beer and enjoys going on different brewery tours. The Coors tour was free and air conditioned, so why not?! The brewery tour was actually very interesting, and at the end of the tour you could choose three glasses of beer in their tap room. Cold, free beer on a hot day? Even I couldn’t say no to that!
After the tour we drove back down to Colorado Springs and went to the Garden of the Gods (which is probably only 15-20 minutes away from the Lone Duck). The park is FREE to enter, and has some spectacular red rock formations that glow like fire in the setting sun. The park is pretty accessible with wide, flat paths around the perimeter of the park and around the popular rock formations. There are smaller, more rugged trails leading up to various rock climbing areas, and hiking trails that extend out away from the park into the foothills. We climbed on rocks and hiked around for a few hours until sunset. The Garden of the Gods is a must-see - the rock formations are incredible, and you do not even have to be a hiker to be able to see and enjoy them!
We decided not to cook back at camp, and stopped at Rudy’s Country Store BBQ in Colorado Springs. We are from Southern California and had never been to a Rudy’s before, and we loved it! I have to admit that I was skeptical of a gas-station restaurant, but I’m so glad we ate at Rudy’s! It was cheap, it was tasty, and it was fun! And I’m always a fan of unlimited condiment bars, so that was a plus!
Overall, I would highly recommend Lone Duck Campground, especially if you like urban campgrounds with extra amenities. We had been debating over staying at a cheap hotel for the night, but I’m glad we stayed at Lone Duck, it was a much better experience than a hotel would have been.
