"Look for the off-trail spots to find a more private campsite."
"Stayed for the weekend, found a place tucked back away from the road and felt completely secluded from the world. No service, no noise, just the sound of the creek and an occasional car driving by."
$20 / night
"Right next to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City Colorado, the highest suspension bridge in North America ! Do the Segway tour over the bridge!!"
"Paved & gravelled roads, hiking trails, free camping, sightseeing, off roading, atv, handicap accessible, dogs off leash, picnic tables, firepits, kid friendly."
$20 / night
"Tucked away and very nice campground close to the Royal Gorge and Canon City if you need to get camping supplies. Get water and ice at the filling station by the Goodwill store for a great price."
"My partner and I really enjoyed this campsite and the surrounding area. We got site 23 and IMO it’s the best spot with the most privacy. Other spots were a bit crowded and close together."
"Beautiful views and a great walking path for my dog. I could have gone for miles. People are super friendly and it’s clean! Close to hiking. Well worth the visit"
"The site we got had our door facing another camper's door and our picnic tables were next to eachother, so we didn't spend much time hanging out outside."
"There’s lots of trails in the area (OHV) but other than that, not much else to do. There is a clean vault toilet at the entrance, no trash services. Plenty of spots as you keep driving up the hill."
"Restrooms were available at entrance as well as a loves a couple few miles away for showers."
"Fun to explore by day through the little canyon or along the rocks above, there's a walk for everyone here. Best enjoyed in fall and spring, summer is quite hot. The campsites are basic and roadside."
"Some great spots close to red bluffs and seasonal river. Went in the autumn and hike along the river bed and climb the falls. Vaulted toilets, fire rings, covered tables and Flatish camp spots."
$36 / night
"This was first camping trip staying in a Colorado State park and it was great! We had an electric only back-in site next to the bathhouse which was clean and had 4 separate bathrooms with showers."
"We were visiting a friend in Pueblo and this place was close by. (Downtown Pueblo has a really nice riverwalk. Found a free museum that honored Medal of Honor recipients.)"
"The sites were large and plenty of room for my slideout and not too close to next site."
"There's a seasonal pool, walking trails and a HUGE fenced dog park. Most spots are pull thru, and it's worth the short, easy drive from I-25."
$69 - $79 / night
"A great midpoint basecamp location for going up to Colorado Springs area or down to Canon City(Royal Gorge) areas. The campground was always quiet in the evenings and felt secure. "
"This is a lovely park about 30 minutes south of Colorado Springs. We camped here for 5 nights in a back in spot with full hookups, site 51."
"It is a bumpy road, but we had an F150 and a Santa Fe, that both made it in fine, though some spots are walking only."
"I’m a rooftop tent camper and the views are amazing but was hoping to be close to the water and isolated from other campers."
Stayed for the weekend, found a place tucked back away from the road and felt completely secluded from the world. No service, no noise, just the sound of the creek and an occasional car driving by. There is a lot of biting flies so bring bug spray if you plan to camp! Gets warm during the day but it does get pretty cold at night
Was lucky enough to get the last spot on the Saturday before Memorial Day. This is right by a climbing area, seemed like that’s who was mostly at the FCFS loop. Our spot didn’t have a lot of shade but it was spacious with beautiful views. Off-roads/trails near by with even better views. Loved this place.
Love this campground. Sharing a bunch of campsite photos. Sites 1-10 are designated for RVs and tents, and sites 11-23 are tent-only. The camp host was great and nice. We had one RV that ran a generator all night the first night, but the camp host spoke to them, and they did not do it the second night.
We found an amazing camp site that was down a slope. We parked up top and lugged everything down the slope. It was tough but so worth it. There was 5 different camp site areas at the bottom right next to the water. The worst and only bad part was the insane amount of biting flies. It was unbearable at times and our dogs were very stressed from them all over them. Bring those fly bags that attract them away from you unless you’re prepared to get eaten up by the flies. The bathrooms were a bit of a drive from our site. They are nothing lavish (bring sanitizing wipes) but they were nice for the kids who weren’t comfortable going outside. The site is easy to find because it has a wooden fence in front to warn not to take motorized vehicles down the slope. We took a cavas wagon for the heavy items and let it roll backwards down the slope with the help of two people. Not easy but Highly worth the hard work as you’re secluded from the road and have a lot of tree coverage for hot days. Also great to utilize this if you have young children who like to wander. We didn’t have to worry about them being near the roads.
All in all, it was a good site. Flying insects caused some grumpy people.
We really like camping here. It’s very close to Colorado Springs and even closer to Fort Carson. So many things to see and do in the hiking trails are great.
It's a great little spot. My little 2 wd 2000 hyundai made it up here with no problem. Has fire place. Cell service. And great open spots to place a tent.
I liked this for a one night visit. Close to the Royal Gorge near Canyon, CO. Primitive with vault toilets for each loop (2). Vault toilets were in decent shape. There are no water stations in the campground. You have to bring your own water.
I can't speak for the park itself being that I didn't have the opportunity to stay there. My review is for my breakdown situation and trying to cancel it. Traveling to Cody Wy, my airstream axle broke and I barely made it to Cody. I took it into a rv repair shop and it was established that I needed a new one. They were 3 to 8 weeks ordering time so I am still currently stranded in Cody. The first thing I did was call the five reservations that I had made to cancel them. All but Mountaindale honored it even with similar cancelation policies. My breakdown happened on a Tuesday and my reservation was for the following Sunday. I emailed Mountaindale the rv shop name and phone number where the rv was for verification. As devastating as this is, this added insult to injury to an already bad situation. I get it that policy is policy but also the owner has no sympathy for people's misfortunes. Again, the other four reservations(KOA, another Campspot affiliated and two others) canceled and gave me full refunds.(Like any compassionate company would do)
