Spillway Campground is perched along the South Platte River near the base of the dam of Eleven Mile Reservoir. Adventurists and families alike will find things to do here. Birding is excellent, as is hiking. Rock climbers enjoy the solid rocky cliffs of the canyon and fly fishermen find abundant catches in the river.
Hike the Overlook Trail for breathtaking views of Eleven Mile Canyon and Reservoir. Occasionally, Golden Eagles can be viewed nesting in the nearby granite cliffs and crags. Springtime brings higher chances of spotting Bald Eagles. Visitors enjoy fishing by shore or canoe. Rainbow and brown trout, kokanee salmon and pike are among the species anglers are likely to find.
The campground, at altitude 8,500 feet, is located at the edge of Eleven Mile Canyon, furthest from the canyon entrance. Some campsites are shaded by scattered spruce and ponderosa pine. Spillway is the closest campground to the Eleven Mile Reservoir, which spans 3,405 surface acres and 5 miles in length. Eleven Mile Canyon was cut by the South Platte River and is bordered by polished gray granite cliffs.
Visitors enjoy the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. Petrified redwood stumps up to 14 feet wide and thousands of detailed fossils of insects and plants reveal the story of a very different, prehistoric Colorado.
For facility specific information, please call (661) 702-1420.

Best of both worlds! We had a great tent spot up on the hill with a great view of the valley behind. So it was a quiet tent spot to ourself, but 30 seconds down the hill foe access to the amazing restroom and showers! Also the laundry facilities were fantastic. The pool and hot tub were fantastic in the hot days. The staff was very nice!
Close to all the sites.
Legend
We had to change plans last minute and arrive here on short notice. They had sites to accommodate us and they were very welcoming. This was hands down the nicest privately owned rv park/campground we have ever stayed at! The bathroom suites have recently been remodeled and they are so nice! Best shower of our 10 day road trip. Nice laundry facilities, community rec room, hot tub, and even a hiking trail to the top of the mountain. Highly recommend.
GuideWe enjoyed our stay at the Royal Gorge RV Resort. The new owners were in the process of updating the bathhouse which will look beautiful from what I could see! The sites were level and well-kept. The camp store was well stocked with firewood, camping supplies, a s’mores bar, cold drinks and lots of Colorado made items. The view from the hot tub was amazing! The fire pits on the patio were cozy and inviting. The location was perfect, close to the Royal Gorge bridge, rafting in the Arkansas River, hiking trails, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad and several great restaurants. The playground was very kid friendly and the giant jumping pillow was super fun! We are already planning our next visit!!

What a great looking KOA with a water park and tons of amenitites and activities! Unfortunately the outwards looks can be deceptive. Up close almost everything was broken and undermaintained. Wifi worked for a few hours our first day, never working again. The splash pad and pool were filthy with brown water collecting in low points and so many things floating in it and none NONE of the accessory interactive features like the water shooters or fun parts for little kids. The hot tub was closed. The jump pad had more than half of the tie down points disconnected, but was open for use most of the time. The bubbles platform was closed and none of the horshoe, cornhole, or other areas had their items out for use. Occasionally staff would come out and throw 2 liter bottles of soda pop at the kids, which was both unhealthy and kind of bizarre. They offered games and prizes inside their recration hall, which I think we can just call a Covid transfer room full of unvaccinated kids from hotspot states.
The rv pad was actually rather nice with a good patch of weeds between campsites, table, and working water, power, and sewer hookups.
Traveler
This campground is a great central location for everything around Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. It is very close to Garden of the gods park and red rock open space. A short drive to the Helen Hunt Falls Parking and Pikes Peak.
Guide
We just used it as a home base for our little airstream trailer while we were exploring Colorado Springs and manitou springs, and hiking the incline and Barr Trail! Had showers, that were decent, but really wouldn’t recommend if you are doing anything besides showering or sleeping.
TravelerAlthough the RV park is nice, you're more-so paying for the location. The spots were really tight, but we spent most of our time out exploring the parks and historic Manitou Springs so we made it work during our stay. We enjoyed checking out the area on our bikes and would stay here again if we were in Colorado Springs!

I personally loved staying at this campground. It is in Cascade, CO right off of Highway 24. It is minutes away from Pike's Peak, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, Red Rocks Open Space, and Colorado Springs. This puts it in a really convenient location while still feeling on the more secluded side. The common area has lots of cool arcade games, and the showers were always clean.
ScoutThis campground is very clean and well managed. the staff are super friendly and very helpful. It is close to the highway and right on the Fountain river. Great stopping point for one night or use it as your base like we did. Great location to visit Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Falls, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, or the Cliff Dewellings which are less than an hours drive away.
ScoutI had a great experience at Garden of the Gods RV resort. They must have changed owners or management in the past year because the older reviews I saw weren't as glowing.
The park was clean, staff was helpful and friendly, there's 24 hour laundry, showers, electric and sewage hookups with a general store and food truck in the mornings.
It was easy to walk to downtown Old Colorado Springs and there's a free shuttle that'll take you to Manitou Springs. It feels safe even as a single female camper!
LegendWhen we pulled into the grounds I instantly knew we needed to move. We left so quick I didn’t get any pictures. While this might have been the nicest place in Manitou Springs, that’s not saying a lot. There’s tons of places that are much better around the area.

I typically disperse, but needed a quick night. Stopped in. The visitor center employee was not friendly. I tried to home with her and was super nice. I got nothing. Saw some deer and elk. Quick access to CO. Springs and Manitou Springs. I'd stay again if I want full convenience. Showers and laundry. $50

The information above stating the campground is closed is incorrect!
General: Small (47 site) RV park at the eastern edge of downtown Manitou Springs, next to Schryver Park. This park is best suited for smaller RVs (although we did see some larger rigs).
Site Quality: As is typical for RV parks, sites are close together and without privacy separation. There are trees for shade though. Sites 1-24 back up to the recreation path (with access to the path) and sites 26– 47 back up to the creek. Although being creekside would be nice, these sites are closer to the road, and you will hear more traffic noise.
Restrooms: These require a code to enter and have showers. Cleaned daily from 11 am– 1 pm and they were very clean (with soap and paper towels).
Activities: So much to do in Manitou Springs including the cog railway to Pikes Peak, the Manitou Incline (for the very fit), shopping, and restaurants. Close to Garden of the Gods City Park in Colorado Springs. Schryver Park is nice. There are eight mineral springs, and you can do a walking tour to visit all of them. Each has a different taste to the water. If you stop by the Chamber of Commerce, you can pick up a collapsible tasting cup.
Sheryl, the General Manager, was very friendly and accommodating. We had not planned to stay here but were pleasantly surprised there was availability on Memorial Day weekend when we stopped in. Although we don’t typically like or stay in RV parks, this was a perfect base for us to explore what the area had to offer. WiFi is included.
ScoutThis RV campground is along the creek that runs through Manitou Springs. We specifically asked for a creekside spot. I slept great listening to the creek. Good shade trees, friendly staff and clean shower house/restrooms. Another nice feature is the free shuttle for Manitou has a bus stop along the road just outside the entry. I was suprised upon arrival the campground changed ownership since our last visit. It is obvious a lot of work is being done to improve the property. Adjacent park to the property and acess to a exercise trail behind the campground.
GuideReview is in the context of urban camping. This park is nestled in cottonwoods and willows of Fountain Creek nearly in downtown Manitou Springs. It is walkable to the Manitou historic and tourist district and to Garden of the Gods Park. Facilities are little dated and shabby, but clean and reliable. There is some road noise from Manitou Ave, but not too bad. The price is a little high, but worth it for the access. Many sites are shaded for large parts of the day, though all are very close. I reserved one star for price, tight spacing, and minor upkeep issues. Staff is very friendly and helpful, IMO.
ScoutThe owner and employees here are phenomenal people. They are so kind and accommodating. They also keep the grounds very clean the bathrooms are some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever visited. The laundry room is up to date and very nice to use. The front office has a lot of really awesome things to purchase and they didn't even forget about our fur babies. Wi-Fi and internet cell phone reception is fantastic. I work from my RV and never missed a beat on any of my zoom meetings. We stayed a full month here. And will be coming back for a couple more months. Absolutely love the location to be able to walk downtown Manitou Springs so many options to hike enjoy a walk and many other amenities
GuideVisited this RV Park over a weekend with my family. Even the premium sites are extremely close. There was a sewer-type smell near the front office. While we stayed there, the entire site was surrounded by road construction sites, which made it difficult to get in and out.
There are two pools and an arcade, which my kids enjoyed quite a bit. The location is accessible to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, and a number of other popular activities close by.
Overall, I was unimpressed and would not stay here again. In looking for photos of the campground for this review, I realized I didn’t have any as there was not much to take pictures of. Overall, not my favorite and I would not stay here again.

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.

Customer service was phenomenal the cabins were clean and so was the bathroom can't ask for more

Great small, year round rv park with cabins and tent area! Stayed there in 2019 and will be returning this year!
RangerWe stayed in our camper but they had nice looking cabins and talked to an older lady who said they kept them up real nice.
Scout
We stayed in one of the tiny cabins, and it's adorable and so warm even when it was snowing. The alpacas and llamas are hilarious and cute. Definitely recommend a visit
RangerMe along with four other friends spent several days tent camping around the Colorado Springs area. On our last night of travel, our camping plans fell through and we needed to find a convenient place late at night to rest. We ended up at the KOA and took advantage of one of their adorable little cabins. All five of us spent the night, actually pretty comfortably, and got a great night's sleep. All and all a very positive experience at the KOA's wonderful, clean facilities.
