Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Fountain, CO

1,195 Reviews

Colorado Springs KOA's cabin accommodations permit pets with specific regulations while maintaining accessible amenities for traveling dog owners. The campground features full hookup RV sites, tent camping areas with pavilions, and cabins that accommodate pets. Leashed pets are welcome throughout the property with designated pet waste stations. The bathrooms and showers receive mixed reviews for cleanliness but the campground grounds themselves remain well-maintained. Located just off I-25, highway noise can be noticeable at sites closer to the freeway, though sites toward the back of the property offer more quiet.

Golden Eagle Campground and Cheyenne Mountain State Park also accommodate pets with similar leash requirements and provide access to picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Both tent and RV campers find suitable options with water and electric hookups available. The splash pad and jump pad at Colorado Springs KOA provide entertainment for families, though these features require maintenance attention during peak seasons. Camping areas near Fountain offer convenient access to Colorado Springs attractions including Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak, all within 15-30 minutes driving distance. Dogs must remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet throughout these public areas, with owners responsible for proper waste disposal. Nearby trails offer opportunities for pet exercise, though wildlife encounters require vigilance with pets.

    Diamond Campground & RV Park

    Large Park Near Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak & More

    This park is definitely well visited, but for good reason. 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. We stayed overnight in early July and 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. Lots of amenities, including parks with play equipment for the kiddos, a dog park, nice bathrooms & showers.

    Haggards RV Campground

    One of Our Favorites!

    We've been staying at this campground for several years as we travel between Arizona and Wyoming. The owners are so helpful, and the park is immaculate. Fantastic views, country feel, and safe. 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.

    Pueblo South-Colorado City KOA

    Nice 1 night stay

    There’s 2 KOA’s in Pueblo, so heads up. I drove past this one thinking I was staying at the one on the north end of town. We stayed one night and it has a cool little playground for the kids, a little dog park for your dogs and full hookups, which is nice. The people at check-in are great, and they have someone drive out to your site with you, which is very nice. The sites are right on top of each other, so if you have a neighbor you can’t open your awning, and you’re close to the highway.

    Lone Duck Campground and Cabins

    Poor management

    I asked for a space for my rv. The owner, Lauren offered me a site with only water and charged me 50.00. REALLY!!!!!!! No dog park. The stream that goes through the campground is VERY POLLUTED. No where to walk. The shower room had a vent that is so DIRTY that it is no ventilation. Muddy mess when it rains everyday. No pavement through the park. Owner is too busy dating someone who walks around like he owns the place.

    Diamond Campground & RV Park

    Rustic campground with a great location.

    This location was perfect for exploring the area. It is very close to downtown Woodland Park and many attractions. Deer wander through the campground throughout the day. It is rustic , with dirt/gravel roads and sites. Lots of pine trees and most spots are pull through. Some sites are a little close together but not all of them. Restrooms are clean. Small but nice laundry-room. Clean showers. A nice tent area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Try to get here before the office closes because finding your site may be difficult. It is a little hard to figure out the roads and the proper direction to go to fine your site and get into it.
    We were here for 4th of July and there were NO activities. No pool. There is a small playground area and a small stage that has been abandoned. The dog park is at the very back of the property. Everything on our 50 amp site worked perfectly. The site was ample for our toy hauler and truck. Sites are not level, bring proper equipment for leveling. Overall, it has an awesome Colorado vibe and we liked it here. Only downside was layout of sites, no activities. 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. I couldn’t use laundry, so be forewarned.

    The Meadows Campground — Cheyenne Mountain State Park

    New and modern facilities

    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. Tons of trails the only sad part is our dogs only have limited trails they are allowed on. Bear, large cats and lots of deer visit regularly (well at least the deer are regular.

    Haggards RV Campground

    Unexpected Gem

    We don't usually stay at RV parks, but we really enjoyed our over night stay at Haggard's RV Park. My wife called it an unexpected gem. Nancy, the owner, was very welcoming and set the tone for the visit. She suggested some sites and we found one that was perfect for us with beautiful views across the prairie to the mountains and a spectacular sunset to boot. Nancy came around offering ice at one point and, later, watermellon. There is a nice dog park on-site. In fact, the best we've seen while traveling. Our older greyhound, who usually just follows us, actually did a few laps. Nancy's attention to detail was evident in the way she decorated the bathhouse to create a more personal, at-home feel. Haggard's is on our list of campgrounds to return to in the future.

    Beaver Creek Rd Dispersed Site

    Accessible road and lush green colors!

    Be cautious driving on rampart there are so many dam deer and wildlife.. the rain brings the trees and bushes and those in turn bring the wildlife here.

    I’m not sure if alll the camping around rampart road area (beaver creek diverts off of rampart) is this amazing. But it’s pretty nice here along beaver creek road

    Just 15 minutes northeast of town you’ll be at the beaver creek road dispersed section. There are SO MANY pull offs for sleep in car situations.

    I counted around 3-5 isolated spots for large groups or spacious enough for a tent and your pets.

    Gosh again I’ll say it it’s LUSHH so many colors of green and mountain flowers. Not so many places like this. In Colorado .I can count them on my fingers
