$20 - $30 / night
"Dakan Road is mostly known as an Off-Road vehicle Road, so 4x4’s are suggested to get up to the sites."

"My first time In Colorado. It was a little busy but once we found our campsite you would never know it! Awesome views! Campsites very far apart."
"This is a primitive CG that is walk-up only and popular on the weekends..."
ScoutNice quiet campground. Bathrooms were super clean and staff was very nice.
GuideI stayed here for six days in sight 230 in loop B. It was very busy over the weekend but hardly anybody here camping during the week. I was in a non-electric site. There is a decent amount of space between most of the sites, but there are no trees, so not a lot of privacy. I wish they would have told me when I registered that the showers are pay showers because I went with limited time and no cash so did not get a shower.
ScoutThere are three dispersed camping areas on this road. It is close to the rampart reservoir, which is very nice.
TravelerIf you are looking to stay near Colorado Springs this campground is perfect! It is darn enough away to be fairly quiet at night but close enough that all the fun stuff in Colo Springs is under a 20 minute drive! It is near a military base so you can faintly hear the firing range in the day time.
ScoutAwesome scenery high altitude ( 10000 feet) electric only access to water
GuideQuite a few people on a weekday night, but not bothering. Very good network coverage (T-mobile). Aprox. 1 mile of the road was bad, other quite good.
GuideIt's a beautiful park just wasn't expecting a lot of people to be here. Also wish the camp spots was further from another spot.
ScoutMy family has enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking at Terryall State Wildlife Area for many years. On July 27, 2025, we were issued a collective $837 citation for being present in the area without a fishing license. Apparently, you cannot use the campground, picnic areas or lake for ANY purpose other than hunting and fishing. There is NO signage to explain this. A Keep Colorado Wild pass DOES NOT allow access.
ScoutAwesome staff , awesome people
