"My kids loved playing at the playground and exploring the nearby national monument of Florissant Fossil Beds. Was very chilly at night when we went in June."
"We tent camped at a walk-in site on “Prospector’s Ridge.” Big wheelbarrows we’re provided to haul stuff to and from the campsite, which was definitely useful!"

"Plenty of drive up tent sites and a few walk in campsites that feel a little more remote."
$25 / night
"Beautiful 4 mile drive up a winding dirt and gravel road through the canyons with the stream next to you. Camp sites a little close but not so bad. The scenery is out of this world."

"There is a trail above the camp that will take you up to some beautiful views through a meadow. Right in the camp are over 5 established bouldering routes and even more in the hill above camp."
".
- Most sites appeared to be just off the road so you will see others driving by, and some sites have close by neighbors so keep that in mind if you're looking for something more private.
- Livestock"
"Rock fire pits, wood around. No water, garbage, nor toilets. Cool temps, road in is rough go slow. Nice shady trees. First few spots you encounter left, then right seem ok."
$30 - $110 / night
"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."
"You’re surrounded by other campers, but you don’t feel cramped in any way.
There is a bathroom and shower house which were all very clean."
ScoutThis campground is exceptionally nice and the staff is amazing, but if you are in a tent there is a lot of noise pollution from the interstate and trains that come by at all hours of the night blaring their horns.
TravelerOpen spots Memorial Day Weekend. Well labeled from Highway 50 just before entering Salida. About or greater than 20 camping spots (but we didn't venture to the last site). Initial road was more rough but evens out as you go further back (we don't have 4-wheel but made it no problem). Porta-potties when you enter the road but no toilets for the campsites further back. Built in fire pits at each established campsite.
TravelerOnly about 10-15 campsites in the section but good area to camp. They've added portapotties to help with the toilet issue but they're only at the entrance. Get there early if you want to reserve a site!
ScoutVery popular spot for ATVs so it was pretty loud the entire time we were there, but overall not too bad - ended up finding a spot further down the road which I think helped
ScoutJust a dirt spot, not very level, fire ring next to the rocky drop off. Extra dusty, people have dumped trash in the area be careful.
TravelerThis is a lovely, well maintained campground next to the Arkansas River. There is a boat launch and vault toilets (clean). There are no frills, but it is a peaceful setting. The only real downside to us is the close proximity to the highway, which didn’t bother me but may annoy some. The tent sites are nice and picnic tables are clean and useable.
GuideSuper clean. Nice spacious sites FHU sites at a reasonable rate.
GuideVery nice quiet stay in the woods. All camp sites are very easy to get to and nicely groomed. Very pleasant stay. Got below freezing so be ready for the cold.
TravelerI loved this place! We had great views, it was a little on the colder side (May) with nights getting to 24, but the days where a cool, cloudy 50, which is a quite agreeable temperature in Colorado, even the native Texans we had visiting were warm with a sweater.
This is a great place to go, there are fire rings along rock creek road that where large. If you go into the trails, just know which trail you're on and look at a map!
We stayed down 129, it is essential that you have a high clearance 4x4/Truck to get back into those areas. There are dirt bikes and side by sides as well as 4 wheelers that ride through there but it is mostly a hunting area.
Camp at fire rings, and keep it clean, there are small creeks in the area you can find if you're willing to put in the walk! I will be going back here, again
