Best Campgrounds near Green Mountain Falls, CO

1,642 Reviews

Green Mountain Falls, Colorado provides multiple camping options along the scenic foothills of Pikes Peak. Established facilities like Mueller State Park Campground and Lone Duck Campground and Cabins accommodate tent and RV campers, while several dispersed camping areas exist on surrounding public lands. Bear Bottom Cabins and Glamping offers a more luxurious outdoor experience with furnished tents. The area also includes several RV parks with full hookups, including Garden of the Gods RV Resort approximately 15 miles southeast of Green Mountain Falls.

The camping season varies by elevation, with higher sites typically accessible from late May through September. Lower elevation campgrounds often remain open year-round, though winter conditions can be challenging. Mount Herman Road Dispersed Camping and Rampart Range Road provide free camping opportunities but have minimal facilities. One camper noted, "The sites on the upper hill have nice views while the lower sites are much less desirable." Road conditions on forest service roads can deteriorate after rainfall, and many dispersed sites require high-clearance vehicles. Fire restrictions frequently apply during summer months, and campers should verify current regulations before planning trips.

Proximity to natural attractions represents a significant advantage for campgrounds in this region. Several developed sites provide convenient access to popular destinations like Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and numerous hiking trails. Tent campers particularly appreciate sites near water features, though highway noise affects some locations. According to one review, "We woke up one morning at our tent site with deer walking and eating down the creek right next to us." Public restrooms and shower facilities vary widely across campgrounds, with some visitors noting excellent maintenance while others mention cleanliness issues. Cell service remains reliable near established campgrounds but becomes spotty in more remote dispersed camping areas. Most campgrounds require reservations during peak summer months, especially on weekends.

    Divide, Colorado

    A little hard to find

    This place is a couple miles off the highway. The county roads getting here are no issue. Its a little hard to find in the dark. There is a green gate that says no parking, but thats actually the gate you drive through to get to the Forrest service road. So just open it up and close it behind you. The road is dirt and there are several spots before it may get bad. The first spot is a large pull through but it is covered in horse poop. Also the place gets very busy in the morning with people from town walking their dogs but they stay quiet and peaceful. 1 bar verizon signal. No bathrooms.

    Monument Glamping

    Unforgettable Glamping Experience!

    Highly recommended! From the moment we arrived, everything was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully designed. The tent was spacious, clean, and cozy — with all the comforts of a hotel, but surrounded by nature. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Whether you’re looking to disconnect and unwind or just enjoy nature (we saw several deer right outside our tent) without sacrificing comfort, this is the place to do it.

    Round Mountain

    Free site 200 yards down road

    Hard to stomach a paid site with no hookups when a free blm campground is within site. This place has picnic tables and bathrooms that is about thenonly difference. They do have a water pump but no hook ups at site. Low verizon signal. Sites are close together and open. Just save some cash and gondownnthe road 1/4 mile

    North Round Mountain

    Cool rocks, can see Pikes peak

    This is a nice little dispersed campground. The main road is pretty good. You can see Pikes peak off in the distance behind the trees. The area is covered by these big rocks and boulders which makes walking around fun. There is atleast 1 very large site for a medium size rig when you first pull in on the left. Other than fire pit no real amenities. Was literally no one around for miles in october. 1-2 verizon bars depending.

    Garden of the Gods RV Resort

    Clean, pretty, well cared for.

    I recently stayed at this campsite and was very impressed by how clean and well-kept it was. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, the picnic areas were tidy, and the grounds were clearly cared for on a regular basis. It made the whole camping experience much more enjoyable and comfortable.

    The campsite itself was beautiful, surrounded by tall trees and well-maintained trails. The natural scenery was stunning, and everything from the campsites to the common areas looked inviting and peaceful. It’s clear that a lot of effort goes into keeping the place both functional and pretty.

    One of the best features was the heated pool. It was clean, comfortably warm, and a perfect way to relax after a day of hiking or exploring. The pool area had plenty of space to sit and unwind, and it added a nice touch of comfort to the outdoor experience. Overall, this campsite perfectly balances cleanliness, beauty, and relaxation.

    Rocky Top Motel & Campground

    Nice facility

    Spots are level. Cell Verizon and ATT is good. View to the east is nice. Propane refill available. Showers are clean and hot. 4 clothes washing and dryer machines. Downside is there’s not any trails to hike immediately from the site. You have to drive to them. Also it’s located on a bluff so it can get a bit windy. Overall I like this place and recommend it. Leave it better than you found it

    Forest Service Road 250 Dispersed

    Great Spot Near 11 Mile Reservoir

    Great location, 2.5hrs from Denver and about an hour from the Springs. Had great space for our setup. Only a 5-10 min drive to the state park with great fishing. Drove my VW wagon and had plenty of clearance to manage the dirt road.
