Not to far off of a paved road. You do have to open and close 1 gate. Just a lot of people walking dogs on the nearby trail.

Bathrooms were very nice and clean. Lots of sites with minimal privacy. Pretty packed and noisy in October. Our site had electrical hookups and its own water. Picnic tables and fire rings available as well. Looks like a very family friendly campground. Stayed one night.

Great spot for relaxing weekend getaway for our family. Plenty of room for the kids to explore and they even had a blow up bouncy house for them during the day. Hot tub under the stars at evening time. Very clean bathrooms!

Love a little history/camping combo!
Cool spot. I like there were different sized spots and a clearly marked line where a 4WD/AWD vehicle is needed and no large rigs. I found a spot that was visible by the road, but there was water access and cool surroundings. The main road was well paved, but turning into my site was a bit rough and I needed the 4WD. There were large animal (I assume black bear) prints to give that extra bit of camping excitement, but no actual sitings (one day, Juliana. One day). Some mosquitos but not overwhelming. The scenery was gorgeous. Definitely a bit desert-esque but it was legitimately perfect weather in mid September. Cool creek rocks and a stunner of a sunset. Would absolutely return again. No numbered sites. Toilets about 1/4 mile beyond the drive through boulder.

Worth the trek! Stunning landscape right on the creek
Quite the drive but worth it. They were repaving some of the road and I personally had no issues getting to a site. It’s gravel, but doable for most vehicles. There was a propane tank and some trash left behind when I got there (always disheartening to find), but it didn’t feel “lived in” like some other spots have so I ultimately felt pretty safe. It was truly beautiful. I got a spot right at the creek that was tucked away from the main road. Maybe a handful of cars passed throughout my stay, so very peaceful and quiet. Zero amenities, so come prepared. No Verizon cell service. Lots of milky quartz laying about, beautiful birds and minimal bugs. Would make the trek here again in a heartbeat.

New owner are not good people
I want to start on a positive because that is the type of person I am, and because this review is going to have a lot of negative. This park is a great location for sightseeing, especially if you are going to Pikes Peak by way of the Cog or shopping in Manitou. My GM and I worked hard to make the park as great as we could with the very little funding that we got. As seen in the reviews we had excellent customer service and had high standards for keeping the park clean. I was very good at my job and I loved doing the work until the new owners took over. When the park was sold, we had high hopes that the new owners would be good people and want to put real work into the park. We were very disappointed that they turned out to be money grubbing horrible people. Ken, one of the owners, treats people and his business very Trump like. He and his wife must state that they are religious more than a few times when having a conversation; I personally think this is to make themselves look good to cover the toxicity that truly lies under the surface. When they meet people, they put on a façade and lie and say whatever they think people want to hear to get what they want; proven to me by the broken verbal promises they made to me. They are not community driven; they are money driven; you can make money and still be good people, but they chose not to be. They practice wage theft just like big corporations by over working employees and under paying them; in their words“you must wear all hats”. They are the type of people that use others until they don’t need them then throw them away like garbage. I was bullied into quitting on a phone call where Ken was very disrespectful and unprofessional with me. The phone call was me trying to explain that I could no longer do the FB post due to our deferent ethical viewpoints, and he would not let me talk by saying“you are not doing your job, are you going to quit” repeatedly. I found out that I was not allowed to post about Manitou Pride parade because he said,“it is not family friendly, and the company and I do not promote the LGBTQ+ community”. I am a proud member of that community and so I should not be the one to post on FB for the company. The groundman quit a day later because of disrespect and broken verbal promises. Then a few days later my boyfriend was fired and then Sheryl the GM was fired.(I believe they were fired for retaliation) Ken only wants employees that are easy to exploit or controlled, because he is incapable of managing people without fear and bullying. He boasted that he is called the grim reaper in business, but I don’t think that is the flex he thinks it is. But yes, he was the destruction of the community we put so much work into. I also want to voice my disappointment in Dana, who Sheryl worked hard getting to be allowed to come back as an employee. Dana did great work her first summer with us, so it was a shock to see her true colors show when she started to brown nose Ken. She spread multiple rumors, I feel the worst one was about Melinda’s daughter and the things she wrote about in her diary. I also did not like how she used David, the guy that does the golfcart tours in Manitou, was nice to his face then talked so badly about him when he was not around. I truly think Jesue and her father would be ashamed of her for how she acted to get her new position.

Nice and well kept
Our Campsite was nice, very clean and well kept. It did seems like the sites were a bit to close together and every spot filled. Pads were level, area around the picnic table spacious. Pit toilets were clean. The dump station was very nice and easy to use. We were driving down through Colorado to view the Fall Aspen leaves. I wish we would have stayed longer at this campsite. We stayed at the Conifer Ridge loop site 46 ...

Guide to Peyton
Camping near Peyton, Colorado offers sites ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 feet in elevation, where summer temperatures typically cool down to the 50s at night even after warm days. The area's eastern plains location provides a transition zone between mountain and prairie ecosystems, with many campgrounds reporting wildlife sightings including deer, squirrels, and occasional black bears.
What to do
Hiking at Mount Herman: Free dispersed camping with access to multiple trails. "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. from Mount Herman Road Dispersed Camping.
Trout fishing: Pay-per-catch fishing at select campgrounds. "There is a private fishing pond where you pay $4.50 to fish, limit is two fish, no throw backs. You will need your own poll and bate," notes Craig & Linda L. from Colorado Heights Resort.
Wildlife viewing: Early morning or dusk offer best opportunities. "We had a walk in sight that was beautiful! Great view, private, and even saw some deer walk by at dusk," reports Ryan M. who stayed at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
What campers like
Convenient shuttle access: Avoid parking hassles at popular attractions. "Another nice feature is the free shuttle for Manitou has a bus stop along the road just outside the entry," explains Mike P. from Pikes Peak RV Park.
Creek-side camping: Several parks offer water-adjacent sites. "We set up three tents on one site and had a great experience... Choose your spots wisely, the road can be noisy and the meadow side gets windy," advises Liam P. who camped at Falcon Meadow.
Base camp potential: Central location for regional exploration. "Love the ability to base from here in the Colorado Springs area and branch out for all adventures you can imagine," shares Jeffrey C. about Peregrine Pines FamCamp.
What you should know
Train noise: Railroad tracks affect several campgrounds. "Down side = the routinely travelled train tracks with mandatory horns. Regardless, we would return without question," notes Jeffrey C. about Peregrine Pines FamCamp.
Military base proximity: Some sites have unique sounds. "It is near a military base so you can faintly hear the firing range in the day time," mentions Emilie K. who stayed at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
Weather changes rapidly: Be prepared for temperature swings. "One night we got snowed in and another night we slept with open windows!" recalls Megan R. about their March stay at Peregrine Pines FamCamp.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies by location. "Verizon signal is excellent," reports Paul B. about Falcon Meadow, while other more remote sites have spotty coverage.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for kids: Several parks offer water recreation. "The heated pool. It was clean, comfortably warm, and a perfect way to relax after a day of hiking or exploring," shares Dustin M. who visited Garden of the Gods RV Resort.
Playground access: Look for campgrounds with built-in entertainment. "There is a new playground that is huge for the kids with a rubber floor in case kids fall. In addition to the park there is tetherballs and open fields for fun ball or frisbee activities," explains Anthony B. about Peregrine Pines FamCamp.
Dog-friendly trail options: Some paths accommodate pets while others don't. "The site had easy access to a walking trail which was great for the dog and I," notes Sheila D. from her stay at Pikes Peak RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Water pressure considerations: Bring necessary equipment. "Water pressure here is really strong so make sure you have a water pressure regulator handy," advises Anthony B. about Peregrine Pines FamCamp.
Size restrictions: Check access routes carefully. "Don't go up if you are pulling anything larger than a tear drop trailer," warns Jaymin B. about Mount Herman Road. "Very skinny switchbacks. About half way up looking for a way to turn around."
After-hours check-in: Some parks offer convenient late arrival options. "Late checkin forms in the box that was super convenient," mentions Paula R. who stayed at Falcon/Colorado Springs NE KOA Holiday.
Leveling challenges: Several campgrounds require equipment. "Our location is quite unlevel. It took four blocks under all tires on one side of our Class A to bring near level," reports Brenda A. about Colorado Heights Resort.
