Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Green Mountain Falls, CO

1,670 Reviews

Mueller State Park Campground permits pets throughout most of its spacious sites, requiring pets to be leashed and attended at all times. Many of the tent, RV, and cabin areas are open to dogs with designated pet-friendly zones. Garden of the Gods RV Resort also welcomes pets with full hook-up sites and cabin accommodations that accept dogs, though some cabins may have breed or size restrictions. Visitors note that the bathrooms at pet-friendly campgrounds are generally clean and well-maintained, with hot showers available at several locations. Mount Herman Road Dispersed Camping offers free primitive camping with dogs on national forest land without designated sites or facilities, providing a more rugged option for campers seeking seclusion with their pets.

Rampart Range Road dispersed camping areas feature multiple sites where dogs can explore off-leash in undeveloped areas, though wildlife encounters require vigilant pet supervision. Several tent campers report deer sightings near their campsites at Lone Duck Campground, where pets must remain leashed throughout the property. The campground offers pet-friendly cabin options alongside traditional tent sites that accommodate dogs. Nearby hiking trails accessible from Green Mountain Falls provide additional exercise opportunities for dogs, though some trails require dogs to be leashed due to wildlife concerns. Pack extra water for pets when visiting dispersed sites, as drinking water is not available at most primitive camping locations. Bear Bottom Cabins and Glamping welcomes pets at their luxury tent sites, with dedicated areas for pet relief and specific pet policies to maintain the natural setting.

I never thought at my age(64) I would ever be interesting in accompanying my daughter's family on a tent camping trip! It was my birthday and there were fresh cut flowers with a lovely birthday wish awaiting me next to my bedside table. Thank you! Debbie and Justin blew us away with their tent camping experience. Luxuriously decorated tents complete with comfortable queen size beds, kitchen table and 4 chairs, and living room areas as well as your own camp restroom outside your tent and private gazebo with more seating, table and outdoor solar lights. We enjoyed the local restaurants& attractions such as Santa's Workshop, a gold mine tour where they taught us how to pan for gold, Garden of the Gods, AJ's Pizza and a steam engine train ride in Cripple Creek. The kids loved the property as much as they loved sightseeing in the area. They hiked, ran around in the green space, played on the swing set and even got to help Ms Debbie gather fresh eggs from her mama hens. We bought some of her eggs and they were delicious! The area was truly some of the most picturesque that I have ever experienced and the wild life is abundant so keep your food locked up in your car which you can park conveniently outside your front door. Mr Justin was always busy working on improving this rustic piece of property but always had time to meet any need that arose during our stay. We can not wait to return and see the 1930s cabins that they are in the process of restoring. If they are anything like their tents they will be amazing.

    Lone Duck Campground and Cabins

    Actually around 4 ducks

    I typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as a Basecamp — grounds that offer a comfortable home base that you’re happy to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Ratings for this category are based on: Value to cost: 4 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, layout, accessibility): 4 Local Attraction Proximity: 5 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 5 Amenities: 4 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 4

    In the mountains of Manitou Springs/Colorado Springs, just off the 24 highway, Loneduck Campground is tucked away down a driveway you will surely miss if you’re not paying close attention (look for the empty sign post sticking up from the highway, see my video). The grounds are quite nice... not luxury but rustic mountain vibe. Large trees and greenery with sites surrounding a small pond.

    This is clearly a favorite destination for locals... lots of groups of friends with kids gathering and spending time together. If you dislike kids, you may want to reconsider. Kids laughing and enjoying fishing, the pool and playground up until quiet hours. We don’t have kids but enjoyed the sounds. Nights were quiet, even with the highway overhead. We slept every night with the windows open and the car noise was not an issue. It only got louder in the mornings. Barking dogs were much louder, but still not an issue.

    The utilities were good enough, though water pressure was pretty low, especially once our neighbor arrived and fed off the same pipe.

    While we didn’t use any, the amenities looked nice. Pool looked lovely and the playground was... beloved by the kids. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the pond with fishing. Fire pits were out of use due to the ban and there was a large dishwashing station for tent campers. There is an arcade which looked perfectly retro. We did use laundry, the machines were fine (takes quarters) but the room itself was a bit dingy. Can’t speak for showers or restrooms. The picnic table at our site had seen better days. Our biggest point of confusion was the placement of the dump station, right at the exit, so in some cases, people that don’t have to dump still have to wait for people to dump in order to leave. There was a long line on a Sunday morning but we managed to squeeze thru after about 10 minutes.

    Staff was quite nice but if you’re very worried about COVID, be warned that virtually nobody wears a mask and high touch surfaces don’t seem to be cleaned frequently.

    For everything they offer at the grounds, I think the price is very reasonable. They’re right next to the Pikes Peak by way and so close to so many other attractions/adventures. Also, there’s a running/walking path that brings you to Green Mountain Falls town just 1/2 mile away but you have to walk on Rt 24 for about 100 yards to get to the next street, so be careful.

    The reservation process was a breeze and they were very responsive and accommodating when we wanted to add a day. A great spot to spend time.

    Chatfield State Park Campground

    Popular and large campground near the lake

    As it is very close to the city, the temperature stays consistent with Denver temps. So in the summer, it will not be as cool as some mountain spots. That being said, it is very easy to get to and you’ll have the lake right there to cool off!

    Entrance into the state park is about $7/day. There is a dog park within the state park that allows off leash and has some ponds the dogs can swim in. Entrance to the dog park is $2.

    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.

    Cherry Creek State Park Campground

    A piece of nature tucked into the city.

    Located in the city, but once you’re in the park you don’t feel like you’re in the city at all!!! The RV spots have full hookups and are nice and spacious, as are the neighbors. We were able to set up a tent too! Great place to stroll and relax. Beautiful sunsets. Clean bathrooms and laundry facilities with a little vending machine.

    A great place for camping (RV and tent spots), fishing, wildlife/nature viewing, hiking, boating (all water activities), has a swim beach, marina, off leash dog park, shooting range, horse stables that you can do a beautiful hour horseback ride.

    FEES: Campsites $41 full hookup, basic campsite $28, daily park pass is $11, annual park pass $83, daily dog park pass $3, annual dog park pass $25, and group camping is available too.

    Cherry Creek State Park Campground

    City Camping at it's Best

    Great campground here at this state park. We have always stayed in the Arapahoe Group Loop for holiday weekends. Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available. Campsites are far from other park amenities like Dog Park, Shooting Range, Marina. Swim beach is a 10 minute walk-able distance from campground. Recommend driving to get around the park.

Guide to Green Mountain Falls

Dispersed camping options near Green Mountain Falls, Colorado provide primitive sites for campers with pets at elevations of 7,500-9,000 feet. The forest service land surrounding this small mountain town offers both designated dispersed areas and unofficial pull-offs with varying levels of privacy. Weather can change rapidly in this region, with afternoon thunderstorms common during summer months.

What to do

Wildlife viewing opportunities: At Lone Duck Campground and Cabins, campers report regular wildlife encounters. "We woke up one morning at our tent site with deer walking and eating down the creek right next to us," notes Tessa S. The natural setting creates opportunities for memorable animal sightings.

Hiking near Manitou Lake: The trail system around Colorado Campground connects to Manitou Lake and surrounding forest. "There's an easy path to Manitou Lake where lots of folks were fishing and boating," reports Mary D., making this a convenient option for combining hiking with water activities.

Mountain biking trails: The network of forest roads in the area provides excellent mountain biking terrain. Doug C. explains that on Rampart Range Road, "several forest service roads branch off with dispersed camping. These smaller trails make for a much more relaxing and peaceful weekend, I highly recommend if you have a 4x4."

What campers like

Budget-friendly options: The free dispersed camping on Mount Herman Road offers cost savings without sacrificing views. "Beautiful views, ~50 minutes of rocky gravel road to reach the top but doable in any vehicle depending on the weather. Tons of spots and easy to be secluded," shares Logan C. about Mount Herman Road Dispersed Camping.

Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention the well-maintained facilities at established campgrounds. Kenneth F. notes that Mueller State Park has "beautiful clean place" with "30 amp electrical hook ups. Along with fireplaces and picnic tables at each site. Awesome hiking trails with views of the mountains."

Sunrise views: Morning light offers special moments for campers at higher elevations. The BigRed Overlander describes finding "a pull out fairly close to the main road with established fire ring. Great views of the city lights and then sunrise" at Mount Herman Road Dispersed Camping.

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to dispersed sites often requires navigating rough forest roads. Evan E. warns about Mount Herman Road: "This area is beautiful with lots of great sites available along mt. Herman rd. Looked at 3-4 different sites all had a decent amount of broken glass so be careful with pets/little ones. Certain areas of this road are heavily graded so take it slow."

Site availability patterns: Weekends see significantly higher usage at dispersed sites. Cody S. notes that Rampart Range Road dispersed areas are "extremely packed on weekends... on weekdays multiple spots available."

Campfire regulations: Fire restrictions frequently change based on conditions. While most dispersed areas allow fires in established rings when no bans are in place, campers should check current regulations before their trip, especially during drier summer months when restrictions are common.

Water access: Bring all water needed for your stay at dispersed sites. As Caroline W. notes about Rampart Range Road dispersed camping, the area has "good location and nice views. close to rampart reservoir" but no direct water access at campsites.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Established campgrounds offer amenities specifically for children. Amanda M. shares that Lone Duck Campground has "all of the amenities. Pool, laundry room, gift shop/Grocery. Arcade, pond, clean bathrooms. Best place every. And surrounded by mountains!"

Beginner-friendly sites: Some locations work particularly well for introducing children to camping. Cody R. recommends Colorado Campground as "a great campground for introducing little ones to car camping. The campground is clean and well-maintained, the sites are good-sized and it's a short hike to decent fishing at Manitou Lake."

Family fishing opportunities: Multiple locations offer fishing access for families. Matthew J. notes that Colorado Campground has "great hiking for little kids around the lake" while being "heavily wooded and spacious sites."

Tips from RVers

Spacing between sites: RV campers often note the proximity of sites at developed campgrounds. C.W. observes that at Garden of the Gods RV Resort, "all RV spots are ridiculously close. Not only did I feel I was about to hit my new neighbor, I found out that I share a water spout with my back neighbor." Consider this when booking if privacy is important.

Electric hookup availability: Diamond Campground receives positive reviews for its facilities. David W. notes it's "a nice campground. Some sites are not very level, but others are quite level. Easy to book and pic your desired site. Good cell reception and easy to work while on the road."

Water pressure considerations: When camping with pets at developed campgrounds, water access can vary. Anthony B. cautions that at Peregrine Pines FamCamp, "water pressure here is really strong so make sure you have a water pressure regulator handy," a helpful tip for those bringing their dogs camping.
