Stayed One night for Tent Camping, came with everything needed. Clean bathroom and showers. Great scenery and amazing night sky view.
Spent one night here. Beautiful park with great hiking trails and full hook ups. Up on the side of a mountain overlooking Colorado Springs. Went to sleep hearing taps and was woken up hearing reveille. Also was visited by several jets from the nearby army base. Spaces were very nice and level and were oncrete with a picnic table. My only two complaints was you had to pay an extra $10 to get into the park even though you paid &46 to camp there and the road up to the campground for about a mile and a half was pretty steep, probably 8 to 9% grade. Watch your brakes coming down.
I chose this park due to the other reviews but they obviously had much different experience than we did. We were given camp site 44 and we were shocked! When we backed our little Little Guy teardrop camper into the spot we were 13 feet from the camper on the left, and there were 3 campers backed in at the back within FEET. Then a new camper pulled in on the right, a camper van. It was 5 feet from our door. Basically, it was like cramming 3 campers into one spot. It was like they put 3 campers in 1 campsite. This was an inside camp spot. The outer spots had more room. Also, out sewer hook up was 10 inches above ground making it super hard to get drainage. We looked around and there were quite a few like that but most were close to the ground. Like I said, it’s like they made 3 site out of one. The bathhouse is fine. They do have a nice laundry facility but you have to sign up for a time slot since the campground is so big. They had firewood and camper/camping supplies at the office. Given how many other campgrounds are in the area, I wouldn’t stay at this one again.
When arrived at prairie ridge were we had reservations and our site was already taken . The camp host happened to drive by and contact a Ranger for us the other person for site 256 and 258 mixed up .. we agrees to just swap sites for the weekend and Al worked out (the other site was a bit nicer it had tree coverage ). Sites were huge but took some leveling . We caught a few small catfish and got to take in the beautiful lake .
Northern Plains campground, Yucca Flats. Great little spot. There is plenty of room for our 30-foot trailer. Electric hook-ups only, 20, 30, and 50 amp. The picnic table had a nice metal shade. Fire pit. Spot well groomed and clean. Small Russian Olive tree, minimal shade.
About a five minute walk to the lake, great little Cliff side fishing spots. Batbroom a 2 minute walk, free showers, and clean. Spot had plenty of room to also park a RAM 2500.
Temperatures got upward of 99+ when we were here, so if you're tent camping in late July, be prepared!
Lake Pueblo is huge, with multiple boat docks, beaches, and places to swim and explore. If you like lakes, this is a great place to visit!
This is a good place to park the camper and see the attractions around Colorado nice level spots clean restrooms and well kept grounds … however the spots are so close together you can hand your neighbors the sugar from your Rv windows .. no real room to set outside and enjoy . The owners were very friendly .
Very quiet and bathroom and showers were clean
Convenient, safe campground near several attractions in the heart of Colorado Springs.
Overall was a good spot close to Manitou Lake and Cheesman Canyon areas. A lot of open spots on a mid-June weekend but glad we reserved as some were really small. The campground was pretty nice especially spot #2 which had a ton of space to itself: clean, close access to restrooms/trash, good fire pits, chopped wood for sale, and overall well maintained by Jerry the host. My only gripe about this campground is all the spots were really angled making it a bit awkward for a RTT'er. Sort of narrow parking and very angled lots - just need to bring leveling blocks or a way to prop yourself a bit which we had.
Bugs not bad at all and quiet from the main road down the way which was nice. Would highly recommend for tenters and RTT'ers.
We stayed on a Thursday night and the campground was somewhat busy, but you still felt like you have a lot of space. The spots are pull through which makes setup and tear down so much easier for camp! The views were AMAZING at sunset! The only downside is that there were some louder guests coming in after the 10pm quiet hour which woke up quite a few people around us too. As someone else stated before, try to get a site on the back towards the trails for the best views and more privacy. Also agree with previous reviewers about the extra gate fee. It would be nice if that was just added to the fee when placing the reservation. Overall great experience and we would come back if ever in the area again!
Pleasantly surprised. Top notch campground.
Attention to detail here! Great owners.
Great sites, with really nice facilities. Campsites aren't very private, but the access to the river makes up for it. Super cool area with river access just across the street.
With 50+ reviews of this park, there’s not much to add. It’s as good as they say! But here’s a nugget: campsites 8 and 9 offer stunning views of Sentinel Point on the backside of Pikes Peak right from your camper window. There may be other such sites, but many loops of the park are closed for our April visit, and these two sites are prime.
A great Colorado State Park. Concrete sites with tent areas. Campsites are spaced out really well. Full hookups at each site that look better than most dump stations. Wildlife in area: saw deers, wild turkeys, and signs for bears and cats. Recommend having bear spray if you hike the trails.
Very pretty campground within lake Pueblo state park. You need reservations before entering the campground, but you can do that online or at the visitors center easily. Spaces are spread out nicely and had fire pits and picnic tables. Beautiful views of the lake nearby and the mountains off in the distance
Sites spaced out. Electricity at site. Water spigots located throughout campground. Clean and organized dump station.
Over all good site . No shade and slight grade when backing in . Our stay was march 24th . Super windy we thought the camper was going to blow over both nights we stayed .
They say this is the world’s highest KoA. It’s in the side of a mountain, css as moving loops stretch up the hill, bathroom and shower are at the bottom of the hill! But they do have pizza and will deliver to your site. It was pretty dusty when we were there. Sites are not jammed together, and the hillside does allow for views over other campsites. Hummingbirds buzzed around all day. Close to Cripple Creek and Pikes Peak
We must have been there end of season (17-20 Oct) because there were a lot of open sites. Overall, the park was fine. We were in G-08 at the north end of the property. I had to run the sewer line under the coach to the dump point. The water pressure was low so we filled our tank and used our water pump. Some nice facilities; main laundry (I did not realize there was one right next to my campsite), the arcade, and the grounds themselves. All things considered I enjoyed it.
They have anything you could want pretty much. It's expensive but if you want all the fixings in a popular area you gotta pay. We saw deer multiple nights, rabbits and a skunk 😅. We had 3 people, a dog, tiny camper and a tent and had a great time.
High elevation campground. Sites well spread out. Gravel tent area. Many pull through RV sites. Separate tent area walk in also. Vault toilets. Clean, quiet camp. Short walk to Grouse peak. Aspens and pines. Stayed in sites 92 and 124. 5g T-Mobile.
Nicely wooded. 8400 feet elevation. Sites well separated for RV park. Pet friendly. Many semi permanent residents. Many short term campers. Tent spots also look nice. Very friendly campers. Laundry, showers, restroom. All very clean. Good 5G T-Mobile.
Everything from friendly faces to taking care of the missing needs of the outdoors. My in-laws and kids absolutly love this place. Not to mention perfect for our disabled daughter.
If I could describe this campground with two words, it’s “well run.” 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’s in a beautiful wooded area, but it’s not secluded by any means. 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. The laundry facilities on site are in the same building, but beware the coin machine only takes $1 and $5 denominations. There’s a playground for your kids to have fun at. Wood is available for $5 a stack.
Woodland park is in the middle of a deluge of beautiful trails, national forestry land, and of course right by Pikes Peak. I recommend The Wines of Colorado winery, and check out the Fiesta Mexicana restaraunt. They are some of the gems of this area.
We had a great time in Site #24, camping in a tent. This site is inadequate for an RV or even a camper, as the parking spot is just a widening in the road. But the site was very private and had beautiful views. I left a day early as a new neighbor came to the site across the road and was running his generator a lot….so I just decided to leave….
Great campground but a little tight. Our site was a pull through with a tight radius for a 25ft trailer. It worked though. Steep drop off at door side of trailer. Very quiet, Starlink might be tough. No water at site but several drinking water stations with hose hookups.
