Several locations accommodate pets in their cabins, though specific pet policies vary by site.

ScoutGreat 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!
ScoutI 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.
GuideOur 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 ...
LegendSmall place right off hwy 24 at the base of the mountains. Coffee place across the street and an auto parts store out front, not a bad combination for an RV park. Ita pretty much just a gravel lot but there are some trees. Not a bad stop but not a destination
LegendDont follow gps follow the signs its on the left hand side. If yiu go past you will go to a tariler court. Place isnt very much nature. Its an rv park in town. Alot of long term residents and traveling workers. Has a small playground for kids. Dumpsters and a dump station. Not a bad stop along your trip but wouldnt call it a destination
LegendIt looks like this place has turned into a tiny house community there are a couple small RV spots but mostly its been overtaken by what looks like long term tiny homes nice place tho
LegendNice little campground, and the front desk lady was super friendly and welcoming. The location is really the key factor—very convenient to all the major hiking trails, most of which are about 15 minutes or less away. You can hear a little road noise, but it wasn’t too bad. The sites are fairly close together, and the showers and bathrooms were very clean.
Unfortunately, I did have one negative experience the evening before we left.
I went to use the bathroom, and as I was exiting, I was approached by a man who lives in the camper directly next to the bathhouse. His first words to me were, “If I see you go back into the bathhouse with those wipes in your hand, I’m going to boot and ban you.”
I apologized and explained that I didn’t realize the wipes were not allowed. There were no signs indicating this policy, it isn’t listed on the website, and no one at the office had mentioned it. I even showed him the package, which states that the wipes are biodegradable and septic/sewer safe. He responded that people should use common sense and again told me that if I used them, I would be booted and banned. He also said he had just done the same thing to another camper two days earlier.
I completely understand the need to protect a campground’s septic and sewer systems, and I would have respected the rule if I had been made aware of it. My issue was the way the situation was handled. Instead of simply and politely saying, “Please don’t use those wipes because they can cause problems with our system,” I was immediately threatened with being booted and banned.
The interaction felt unnecessarily hostile and unfriendly. It also left me feeling uncomfortable, as though campers are being watched closely rather than simply being approached respectfully when there is an issue.
That was especially disappointing because, aside from this encounter, our stay was pleasant. A little communication and a more courteous approach would have made a big difference in the overall experience.
GuideGood location (near Pikes Peak and Garden of God), with their own fishing pond ($6 per rainbow trout) and nice Fishing Cleaning Station. There's an arcade, a bathhouse, and a store & registration. The camp hosts are friendly and nice.
The campground is however pretty small and compact, and most are tight back-in sites.
GuideCampers get to soak, dinner and breakfast is included. Electric if you need it. Good deal. The reflexology is awesome!

Visit Bishop Castle: Located just 30 minutes from Rye, this unique hand-built stone castle is accessible year-round. "This was a campground that had RV spots, cabins and tent spots... 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," notes a visitor at Aspen Acres Campground.
Explore mining history: The historic mining towns of Cripple Creek and Victor are within 40 minutes of several Rockvale area cabin sites. "Great hiking nearby and the towns of Cripple Creek and Victor are full of old mining history!" says a camper from Cripple Creek KOA.
Hike mountain trails: Mueller State Park offers over 50 miles of trails with wildlife viewing opportunities. "The end of the campground feeds into many trailheads, which are great for exploring," reports a visitor at Mueller State Park Campground.
Hot springs access: Some cabin rentals offer proximity to natural hot springs for relaxation. Ashley from The Dyrt mentions that Desert Reef Hot Springs has "launched the first ever overnight accommodations at Desert Reef" with tiny homes and an on-site Airstream.
Wildlife viewing: Multiple camping areas feature regular wildlife sightings. "We saw deer wander around the campsites every morning and evening. The sites are terraced so that everyone has a beautiful view," says a reviewer at Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort.
Cleanliness of facilities: Campers consistently mention clean bathrooms and showers. "The newly remodeled bathhouse and laundry facilities are beautiful! I'd love to come back and stay in one of their new cabins with a fantastic view of the snow capped Sangre De Cristo mountains!" reports a return visitor to Royal Gorge RV Resort.
Water quality varies: Some locations have issues with water quality. One visitor at Royal Gorge RV Resort stated, "All fine for a night except we filled our tank with the most disgusting undrinkable water imaginable. I'd not come back for that reason."
Altitude considerations: Many cabins sit at higher elevations which affects breathing and weather. "The air is thin up here- real thin. That also means that it's pure, clean blissfully light oxygen so breathe deep and enjoy it," notes a camper from Cripple Creek KOA.
Reservation policies: Cancellation policies vary significantly between properties. One visitor reported, "My breakdown happened on a Tuesday and my reservation was for the following Sunday. I emailed Mountaindale the rv shop name and phone number where the rv was for verification. As devastating as this is, this added insult to injury to an already bad situation."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds offer specific children's activities. "The playground was very kid friendly and the giant jumping pillow was super fun!" mentions a visitor at Royal Gorge RV Resort & Cabins.
Consider cabin heating systems: Mountain nights get cold even in summer. "The cabin was adorable and so warm even when it was snowing," shares a camper about their stay at a Rockvale area cabin.
Check for altitude-appropriate activities: Higher elevation campgrounds require acclimation for children. "Going back next weekend," reports one satisfied camper at Royal Gorge-Canon City KOA who appreciated that "staff was AMAZING...they'd give my wife rides to the pool and were extremely courteous and friendly."
Road conditions matter: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges. One RVer at Aspen Acres notes, "One thing we didnt like is road coming in was a little wash pan. Hard on our older rig."
Site spacing varies dramatically: RV sites range from spacious to extremely tight. A visitor to Garden of the Gods RV Resort observed, "As I write this review, a fellow camper scurries past my open window about two feet from my face. Whoa. Good morning. The sites are tidy, clean, and sport full hookups. Not much to complain about, well, except for that social distancing thing."
Utility placement challenges: Check utility locations before arrival. "After getting setup I found out that I'd need to climb up the short retaining wall into my neighbors site to hookup our water hose. The spigot was shared between our sites," reported one RVer about their Garden of the Gods experience.
