Several RV campgrounds near Florissant serve the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, ranging from full-service parks to electric-only state park sites. Diamond Campground & RV Park in Woodland Park offers full hookup RV sites with water, sewer and 50-amp electric connections, operating seasonally from May through September. Rocking M Ranch Campground accommodates big rigs across its 30 sites with water and electric hookups. "Sites well separated for RV park. Pet friendly. Many semi permanent residents," noted one camper about Diamond Campground. Garden of the Gods RV Resort in Colorado Springs remains open year-round with pull-through RV pads and complete hookups, while Mueller State Park offers electric-only sites at higher elevation with more separation between camping spots.
Mountainous terrain affects campground navigation throughout the region. Several parks require careful driving on access roads with tight turns and elevation changes. Cell service varies significantly—T-Mobile 5G works well at Diamond Campground and Mueller State Park, while other carriers may have spotty coverage in more remote locations. Most RV parks provide dump stations, though timing can be restricted during peak season. A review mentioned that at Eleven Mile State Park "using the dump station was easy in the off-season, staff let you schedule a dump time days ahead of time." Pet policies differ between campgrounds, with most allowing pets within the camping areas but some state parks restricting dogs on hiking trails to preserve wildlife.

Daniel H.ScoutMountaindale Cabin & RV Resort
Great 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!
Kevin H.ScoutCastle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake
Beautiful family and dog friendly campground!
Lake 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!

TravelerFive Points Campground — Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area
Very close to the highway
Basic amenities, but clean and easy to find. The campsite is very close to the highway, so if you're looking for something more off the beaten path, keep looking. However, if you just need a place to sleep with great views, this is a solid spot. We saw bighorn sheep and even heard what sounded like a bobcat possibly mountain lion at night.
Shannon F.ScoutPikes Peak RV Park
New owner are not good people
I 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.

Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake
Great spot - except for flies
If 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.

Red Canyon Park
Great secluded spot
Found a great spot a bit further in surrounded by Juniper trees and a bit of grassy patches and rock fire pit. Love the open space and secluded spots! Definitely not ideal for the cacti. Our pup ended up sniffing one and got the needles in her muzzle. 😬 Weather is pretty nice with highs in the 80s and lows in the 40s

Nice and well kept
Our 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 ...

Badger Flats
No longer free!
We absolutely love Badger Flats, and even though it’s no longer free ($15/night), it’s still our go-to campground. If you don’t mind the occasional dirt bike/ATV and no services, and love a beautiful area with camp spots spread out - then go to BF.
Guide to Florissant
RV camping near Florissant, Colorado offers mountain elevations ranging from 8,000-9,000 feet with significant day-to-night temperature variations even in summer months. The Pike's Peak region receives afternoon thunderstorms frequently between July and August, with lightning dangers requiring campers to plan outdoor activities accordingly. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the mountainous terrain depending on carrier and specific location.
What to do
Deer watching at camp: Diamond Campground in Woodland Park attracts abundant wildlife right to your campsite. "We have uninvited friends, deers all over! Ghost was very nice and many friendly peoples," notes Ioan P. about Diamond Campground & RV Park. Jonathan F. confirms this experience: "Wildlife right outside our door every morning."
Royal Gorge exploration: Just 40 minutes from Florissant, Canon City offers spectacular gorge views and outdoor recreation. "The location was perfect for exploring the area. Close to the Royal Gorge bridge, rafting in the Arkansas River, hiking trails, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad and several great restaurants," says a camper about Royal Gorge RV Resort & Cabins.
Walking trails for quick exercise: Several campgrounds connect directly to walking paths. "My site had easy access to a walking trail which was great for the dog and I," mentions Sheila D. about Pikes Peak RV Park. These accessible trails provide convenient options for morning exercise without driving to trailheads.
What campers like
Mountain views from camp: The elevated terrain provides excellent vistas from certain campsites. "Diamond Campground has it all. Kind staff, large sites, clean and a view of Pike's Peak from the gate," writes Ginny D. The higher elevation campgrounds offer cooler temperatures during summer heat.
Spacious, separated sites: Unlike urban RV parks, certain campgrounds offer more privacy between spaces. "Beautiful rv camp... Plenty of shade as well," states a review of Diamond Campground. Another camper at Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort notes: "The site was extremely spacious with room to park our truck to the side and still have a big yard."
Tent-specific areas: Some RV campgrounds maintain dedicated tent camping sections. "Lots of sites, mostly RV but there is a nice tent only section with a good number of spaces," writes Patrick H. about camping at Diamond Campground in early July. "We had a great tent spot up on the hill with a great view of the valley behind," mentions Lance H. about Royal Gorge RV Resort.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most high-elevation campgrounds close during winter months. Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort remains accessible during shoulder seasons, while Garden of the Gods RV Resort operates year-round at a lower elevation. "The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean... and we were shaded by some big pines," notes Lori C. about Mountaindale.
RV site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds require proper equipment for uneven terrain. "Some sites are not very level, but others are quite level. Easy to book and pick your desired site," reports David W. about Diamond Campground. At Royal Gorge RV Resort, a camper noted: "Sites are not level, bring proper equipment for leveling."
Water hookup limitations: Some campgrounds provide water access through shared spigots rather than individual hookups. "After getting setup I found out that I'd need to climb up the short retaining wall into my neighbors site to hookup our water hose. The spigot was shared between our sites," explains Jason F. about Garden of the Gods RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Check which campgrounds offer playground facilities before booking. "Lots of amenities, including parks with play equipment for the kiddos, a dog park, nice bathrooms & showers," writes Patrick H. about Colorado Springs KOA. "The playground was very kid friendly and the giant jumping pillow was super fun!" adds a camper at Royal Gorge RV Resort.
Protection from summer showers: Summer afternoon thunderstorms occur regularly. A camper at Diamond Campground shared: "We actually pitched our tent next to our family RV underneath the awning, safe from the summer showers that seem to pass thru almost daily in the summer months."
Limited internet connectivity: Remote campgrounds have spotty cell coverage and minimal WiFi. "Good cell reception and easy to work while on the road," reports David W. about Diamond Campground, but others note varying service. "There is no cell service for AT&T or T-Mobile, but you are able to do wifi calling with their WiFi and we streamed a movie one night," explains a Mountaindale camper.
Tips from RVers
Big rig access considerations: Several campgrounds accommodate large RVs, but access roads present challenges. Rocking M Ranch Campground offers 30 sites for large rigs, with a reviewer noting: "You don't find a more unique Campground in this day and age, feels more like camping than your average RV Park."
RV route planning: Mountain roads require careful navigation. One Garden of the Gods RV Resort camper advised: "It is a little hard to figure out the roads and the proper direction to go to find your site and get into it." For Pike's Peak RV Park, a visitor warned: "Spots are TIGHT. We had to work so hard to get our trailer in."
Laundry facility scheduling: Laundry access often requires planning ahead. "The newly remodeled bathhouse and laundry facilities are beautiful!" notes a Royal Gorge RV Resort visitor, while another camper at Garden of the Gods warned: "You have to reserve a spot to wash clothes. This became a problem because people reserve large blocks of time and don't show up."
