I was recommended this spot for a stay by another traveler so I was very excited to have Garden of the Gods in my backyard to say the least as it's name boasted. I drove in and as I started to see the signs I was more and more excited, only to find out that this campsite offers literally every kind of stay but tent camping.
When I went to check into the office I was met by a very nice woman who had to break the news to me. I think she could tell that I was disappointed after seeing the amenities which included an amazing looking pool, which would have been perfect for my weary self after all my driving.
But because she could see it written all over my face she pointed me in the direction of another campsite which would be perfect for me for the night and gave me a few little tips on the area as well including telling me about the backstory of Garden of the Gods which is pretty amazing.
She gave me more than a few brochures for the area before I finally walked out the door and offered me a discount if I decided I wanted to try out one of their cabins on my next stay!! Excellent customer service so needless to say if I am in Colorado Springs in the near future I will stop here! Sometimes the only downside I find to tent camping is missing out on the opportunity to stay at some of these amazing sites with such welcoming people.
Because of her tip however I was very close to Garden of the Gods and was able to explore it and make it to camp with plenty of time to spare!
