About 30 min from Pueblo and 30 from Canon City on Hwy 50 just east of Hwy 115 Full hookup and good WiFi Also had 30 OTA channels.
$41 / night
Colorado Springs offers much to do and this campground is a great spot to unhook.
Only downfall is that it was a bit of a drive to many main attractions in Colorado, but it was worth the drive.
Campground Review
Note: This is a military campground only, on the grounds of the US Air Force Academy just north of Colorado Springs
ScoutMy grandson and I stayed there in June for 4 days in a 34ft travel trailer in a pull thru long enough not to have to unhook. The sites were large and plenty of room for my slideout and not too close to next site. About 30 min from Pueblo and 30 from Canon City on Hwy 50 just east of Hwy 115 Full hookup and good WiFi Also had 30 OTA channels. Beautiful sunsets of the mountains Hwy 50 close by but traffic was not loud enough to disturb us Horses on the property as well as a swimming pool and very friendly staff Very nice experience and only 40 min from Colorado Springs or Royal Gorge.
TravelerThe Cabins are for locals or people working in the local area and are only available for monthly rent, The tent areas are in direct sunlight with no shaded area and overpriced at $25 a night regardless of what time you check in checkouts at 11:00 am, The Bathrooms are reasonably clean, however scary hag lady comes in as if on crack running around looking like a mad woman, somewhat scary, the horse stalls are disgusting.
TravelerBy far one of the nicest state parks in Colorado. Every site is huge and several pull through are on sides of the hill with sweeping view of Colorado Springs. Nestled up to the Air Force NORAD complex the nature is unspoiled all the way up the mountain. Tons of trails the only sad part is our dogs only have limited trails they are allowed on. Bear, large cats and lots of deer visit regularly (well at least the deer are regular.
TravelerThis is a nice campground with a good view of the mountain. There are some nice trails from the campground and it’s close to Colorado Springs.
ScoutOne of the nicest camp spots I’ve been to. Very accommodating and clean! Only downfall is that it was a bit of a drive to many main attractions in Colorado, but it was worth the drive.
RangerGreat Campground with all the amenities. Sites are fairly close together, but not a problem for me. Everything is exceptionally clean. You must check in before 6pm. Downtown Colorado Springs is minutes away and close to attractions. Plus you can take advantage of on base shopping and more.
GuideColorado Springs offers much to do and this campground is a great spot to unhook. “The Meadows” is one of the loops...all level spots here, full hook-up. Not much privacy or shade, but would still highly recommend. The park location is close to Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Pike’s Peak and more. The park offers many wonderful hiking trails...and a frisbee golf course. Convenient drive to grocery stores and restaurants.
TravelerOur third time staying here. Opinion - best FamCamp in the system. Love the ability to base from here in the Colorado Springs area and branch out for all adventures you can imagine.
Campground is clean. Friendly staff. Level spots. Though not exactly private, plenty of pine trees to make you feel you are in the woods. City water was clean/no smell/good pressure, though paperwork says a regulator is mandatory.
Down side = the routinely travelled train tracks with mandatory horns. Regardless, we would return without question.
LegendCampground Review
Note: This is a military campground only, on the grounds of the US Air Force Academy just north of Colorado Springs, CO.
My family and I stayed here a week in a 34' travel trailer. This is a large facility with over 100 campsites. Sites are gravel and fairly level, spaced decently with little undergrowth among the pine trees. Full hook-ups are of good quality and worked with no problems. Cable is not provided and we did not check to see if our antennae picked up any local TV stations. WiFi is restricted to the office and bathhouses, and do not extend into the campground. You have the option of purchasing a MiFi transmitter for $5 a day or $25 a week, but we did not choose this option. A short walk from our campsite is a very nice playground next to the picnic pavilions. Each site comes with a grill and aluminum picnic table. Ground fires are not allowed, but fire pits can be rented for an additional fee. The laundry facility is affordable and the machines are in good condition. Now for a little bit about the area outside the campground. The Academy grounds are huge. It is a good 10-minute drive to the commissary/exchange, a 10-minute drive to the visitor center, and about 30 minutes to downtown Colorado Springs or Garden of the Gods. If you are here for football, the stadium is right down the street (I would say it is within walking distance). There is a lot to do around here and this is a good base camp. I wish we could have stayed longer than a week.
Oh, and just a heads up, if you are staying here in the summer expect thunderstorms to roll by every day. The wind and lightning can be rather intense.
Product review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time. This week I tested the Gregory Avos 15 pack. Although designed as a mtn biking pack, I used it for day hiking and road cycling and found it to be a great and versatile pack. See the video and pictures for more details, but here's a quick review of the pros:
After hiking 6 miles and riding 10 miles, I have very few negatives, and these are just me being picky:
Overall, I would give this pack a 5-star review and recommend it to others who want a comfortable, well-designed, and versatile pack when playing outdoors.
