Many locations provide cabin guests with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to communal facilities like showers and toilets.

A bit understaffed, but they do their best to prioritize tasks and keep the facility well maintained."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most KOA cabins include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding and towels. Pet policies vary by campground—Royal Gorge-Canon City KOA and Mountain View RV Resort allow pets in some cabin units for additional fees.

Basic cabins typically offer only outdoor cooking options with fire pits or grills, while deluxe units may include microwaves, small refrigerators, or kitchenettes. Guests should plan to bring their own cooking supplies, food storage containers, and groceries. On-site camp stores at facilities like Royal Gorge-Canon City KOA stock essential items, though selection is limited. Cabin rentals generally require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when demand peaks around Royal Gorge Bridge and Arkansas River rafting activities.
"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."
"Always great bathrooms and showers. 1st campsite was full of fire ants but we were able to move to 109 with electric for our tent. Lots of great stuff for kids. Slide, playground, mini golf."
"We booked this site last minute and it was perfect! The grounds were quiet and people respected the Quiet Hours curfew. Each site has a covered picnic table to block the wind."
"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."

"The camper had its own slot with the hook- ups, fire pit and picnic table but there was a lot of room for all of that. Best part of the site was that there is basically another site attached."

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!
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.
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.
GuideGood location (near Pikes Peak and Garden of God), with their own fishing pond ($6 per rainbow trout) and nice Fishing Cleaning Station. There's an arcade, a bathhouse, and a store & registration. The camp hosts are friendly and nice.
The campground is however pretty small and compact, and most are tight back-in sites.
GuideCampers get to soak, dinner and breakfast is included. Electric if you need it. Good deal. The reflexology is awesome!

Located in Fremont County within the Arkansas River Valley, this area experiences semi-arid conditions with approximately 13 inches of annual rainfall and frequent afternoon thunderstorms during summer months.

Visit Royal Gorge Bridge: Located about 13 miles from Florence, this landmark sits 956 feet above the Arkansas River. Royal Gorge RV Resort & Cabins serves as a convenient base for exploration. "The location was perfect, close to the Royal Gorge bridge, rafting in the Arkansas River, hiking trails, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad and several great restaurants."
Hot springs soaking: Natural thermal waters provide relaxation after outdoor activities. Desert Reef Hot Springs offers both day use and overnight options in their tiny homes or Airstream rentals. "Ashley here from The Dyrt! We're excited to have this new partner online. They are excited to have launched the first ever overnight accommodations at Desert Reef."
Hiking and wildlife viewing: Multiple trail systems offer opportunities to see local fauna. "We saw deer wander around the campsites every morning and evening. The sites are terraced so that everyone has a beautiful view. There is no cell service for AT&T or T-Mobile, but you are able to do wifi calling with their WiFi."
Private outdoor spaces: Many cabins feature dedicated areas for outdoor cooking and relaxation. "The camper had its own slot with the hook-ups, fire pit and picnic table but there was a lot of room for all of that. Best part of the site was that there is basically another site attached. It was a manicured spot ringed with pine trees and flower so we pitched a tent and two hammocks there."
Clean facilities: Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort maintains high standards for communal spaces. "This is a lovely park about 30 minutes south of Colorado Springs. 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."
Family amenities: Campgrounds often provide recreational options beyond basic accommodations. "The campsite pads were great, shelter building with water and a grill, kids rode go carts, the big slide, and putt putt. Limited restrooms for such a large campground."
Highway proximity: Some cabin locations experience traffic noise. "This KOA journey has a friendly and helpful staff, and offers all of the bare essentials so you can get ready for your next stop. The campground is 8 miles from Cañon City and 4 miles from Royal Gorge."
Elevation considerations: Cripple Creek KOA sits at high altitude. "The air is thin up here- real thin. That also means that it's pure, clean blissfully light oxygen so breathe deep and enjoy it. The spots are a bit closer than I would like but the campground is very well kept and the beautiful mountain scenery makes you forget you have neighbors!"
Seasonal operations: Most cabin facilities in the immediate Florence area close during winter months. "Nestled on the back side of the mountain very high altitude and short of breath but really enjoyed it."
Look for dedicated kids' activities: Some resorts offer specialized recreation. "The playground was very kid friendly and the giant jumping pillow was super fun! We are already planning our next visit!!"
Consider bath facilities: The Meadows Campground — Cheyenne Mountain State Park offers modern conveniences. "By far one of the nicest state parks in Colorado. Every site is huge and several pull through are on sides of the hill with sweeping view of Colorado Springs. Nestled up to the Air Force NORAD complex the nature is unspoiled all the way up the mountain."
Pack for variable temperatures: Nighttime temperatures can drop significantly even in summer. "It was warmer than mountain sites by 15-20°. Overall the price seems a little expensive."
Reserve well ahead: Cabin accommodations in the Florence area fill quickly during peak season. "We were told we got the last spot. So we were pretty relieved to find that not only did we get a spot but it was a great one! So much room."
Check hook-up configurations: Colorado Springs KOA and other facilities may have unique setups. "The facilities and public area are all very clean and well maintained.
