"Tucked away and very nice campground close to the Royal Gorge and Canon City if you need to get camping supplies. Get water and ice at the filling station by the Goodwill store for a great price."
"My partner and I really enjoyed this campsite and the surrounding area. We got site 23 and IMO it’s the best spot with the most privacy. Other spots were a bit crowded and close together."
"Beautiful views and a great walking path for my dog. I could have gone for miles. People are super friendly and it’s clean! Close to hiking. Well worth the visit"
"The site we got had our door facing another camper's door and our picnic tables were next to eachother, so we didn't spend much time hanging out outside."
"Fun to explore by day through the little canyon or along the rocks above, there's a walk for everyone here. Best enjoyed in fall and spring, summer is quite hot. The campsites are basic and roadside."
"Some great spots close to red bluffs and seasonal river. Went in the autumn and hike along the river bed and climb the falls. Vaulted toilets, fire rings, covered tables and Flatish camp spots."
"There’s lots of trails in the area (OHV) but other than that, not much else to do. There is a clean vault toilet at the entrance, no trash services. Plenty of spots as you keep driving up the hill."
"Restrooms were available at entrance as well as a loves a couple few miles away for showers."
$36 / night
"This was first camping trip staying in a Colorado State park and it was great! We had an electric only back-in site next to the bathhouse which was clean and had 4 separate bathrooms with showers."
"We were visiting a friend in Pueblo and this place was close by. (Downtown Pueblo has a really nice riverwalk. Found a free museum that honored Medal of Honor recipients.)"
"The sites were large and plenty of room for my slideout and not too close to next site."
"There's a seasonal pool, walking trails and a HUGE fenced dog park. Most spots are pull thru, and it's worth the short, easy drive from I-25."
$45 - $74 / night
"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!"
"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!"
ScoutEleven Mile State Park is a beautiful and peaceful getaway for anyone who loves wide-open skies, water activities, and mountain views. We camp here every year. The lake is stunning and perfect for fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing by the shore. That said, be prepared, there are no electrical hookups, so if you're bringing an RV or need power, make sure to bring a generator. Also, since you're close to the water, bring bug spray or a bug zapper since the bugs can get pretty intense, especially in the evening.
ScoutGreat place goos service only negative things are theyre missing sewer attachment
ScoutThe reservoir and surrounding areas are beautiful, but we don't plan to return to this campground. The roads in are so rough and created so much vibration that it was actually damaging to our A-Liner camper (with an off-road package). The speed limit is 55 and we weren't able to go much faster than 10 mph without the vibration becoming unbearable. The campsites are totally exposed with no tree cover, but it was too windy to set up our shade tent. The winds were so strong that we slept poorly; a neighbor in a tent said the wind ripped off two of his rain fly straps overnight. We chose Site 612 because the sites in that loop looked more private and spacious, but we failed to note that there was no bathroom on that side of the campground, with the nearest facilities being a short drive away. We left after the first night.
TravelerThis was a campground that had RV spots, cabins and tent spots. Our tent spot was tucked back in a quiet place, close walk from our tent to plumbed toilets and a further walk to the bathhouse with showers. We used this campground to explore the surrounding area and Bishop Castle. Staff was very friendly and they had a lot things to do for the kids in the camp store/facility.
GuideSuch a beautiful place makes it up for the norrow/bumpy 8 miles road to get there. The creek sound off the noise of the busy road since I camped close to the road with my 21’TT It wasn’t level enough so I dont think I will be back but I loved it, I spend 10 days and I have no complaints with temp of 65-45 it was womderful taking off the crazy storm with having hailing one night. So sad people laugh so much trash behind even broken glasses.
TravelerWe camped at tent site #41 for 3 nights in June and had a great experience. The site was clean, grassy, and very private—even though we could see neighbors, it was quiet and peaceful. No tent pad meant we could set up wherever we wanted, and there was plenty of space.
Bathrooms (vault toilets) were clean, firewood was available onsite, and there were bear-proof containers. The campground has both sun and shade, with lots of trees and a beautiful setting. Manitou Lake is just a 3-minute drive away, and town is about 6 minutes out—close but still feels like a getaway.
What made this campground amazing was how family-friendly it is. My daughter made friends, rode her scooter on the paved roads, and had a blast. We saw lots of families biking, walking, and enjoying the outdoors together.
Heads up: I have Verizon and had no cell service at the campground.
Can’t wait to come back—highly recommend for families!
Traveler$28 for site + $10 non-resident fee. Pit toilet, older but clean. No water. No trash. Sites are adequately spaced. Some are level, some not, not indicated on website. Tables, fire rings, and tent pads - seemed level. June 19 buggy & hot - seasonal info. Lots of cactus around. Side note, two vehicles came in and tried to steal the Casita camper in the site next to us, owners came back just in time. Be aware.
ScoutThis is a fun spot to camp. Theres no good logs around for firewood but good twigs for kindle. Theres a cool tunnel to drive through too. Will definitely come back.
TravelerWe’re camping here on week days and finding it a very enjoyable experience. There is only low ATV activity and not imposing at all. The road in is well maintained and not muddy even though a ferocious storm hit yesterday, complete with golf ball size hail for a while the worried us for our solar panels. The views of Pike’s Peak to the south are stunning. The area trails are fantastic. Access to Woodland Park & Divide, the Florissant Fossil Beds & fishing at Eleven Mile Canyon is great.
