Best RV Parks & Resorts near Woodland Park, CO

Diamond Campground & RV Park in Woodland Park provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service from May through September, featuring pull-through options on dirt and gravel roads. Located close to downtown, this rustic campground accommodates big rigs with spacious sites nestled among pine trees. Garden of the Gods RV Resort in nearby Colorado Springs operates year-round with full hookups and paved roads throughout the property, though sites can be tightly spaced. Pikes Peak RV Park in Manitou Springs offers 54 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. "The sites are a little close together but not all of them. Everything on our 50 amp site worked perfectly. The site was ample for our toy hauler and truck," noted one Diamond Campground visitor.

Summer and fall seasons bring heavy RV traffic to the Woodland Park area, making advance reservations essential, particularly for weekend stays. Most RV parks in the region welcome pets but require them to be leashed. Cell service varies significantly between parks, with T-Mobile 5G reported as good at Diamond Campground. Several parks charge additional fees beyond the base rate - Peak RV Resort adds reservation and credit card processing fees, while Colorado Springs KOA includes daily fees on top of camping rates. Dump stations are available at all major RV parks, though some like Rocking M Ranch Campground lack sewer hookups at individual sites. Winter camping options are limited near Woodland Park itself, with more year-round parks available in Colorado Springs approximately 20 miles east.

    Diamond Campground & RV Park

    Rustic campground with a great location.

    This location was perfect for exploring the area. It is very close to downtown Woodland Park and many attractions. Deer wander through the campground throughout the day. It is rustic , with dirt/gravel roads and sites. Lots of pine trees and most spots are pull through. Some sites are a little close together but not all of them. Restrooms are clean. Small but nice laundry-room. Clean showers. A nice tent area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Try to get here before the office closes because finding your site may be difficult. It is a little hard to figure out the roads and the proper direction to go to fine your site and get into it.
    We were here for 4th of July and there were NO activities. No pool. There is a small playground area and a small stage that has been abandoned. The dog park is at the very back of the property. Everything on our 50 amp site worked perfectly. The site was ample for our toy hauler and truck. Sites are not level, bring proper equipment for leveling. Overall, it has an awesome Colorado vibe and we liked it here. Only downside was layout of sites, no activities. You have to reserve a spot to wash clothes. This became a problem because people reserve large blocks of time and don’t show up. I couldn’t use laundry, so be forewarned.

    Lone Rock Campground

    Line Rock review

    We love this campground due to the river access. The do have potable water but it tastes pretty bad, so brIng drinking/cooking water. Most, if not all sites, have a picnic table and fire pit. During reservable season (Memorial Day to Labor Day I believe), the campground host usually has firewood for sale. No cell service, no electric. We hear that the cafe In Deckers may be getting wifi. The campground is open all year but the water is shut off in the winter. Sites are close to each other.

    Colorado Campground

    There are many campgrounds in Colorado, but only one Colorado Campground!

    CAMPGROUND REVIEW: COLORADO CAMPGROUND PIKE NATIONAL FOREST

    https://www.recreation.gov/camping/colorado-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70684

    Colorado Campground is one of several campgrounds less than 10 miles north of the city of Woodland Park off Route 67 in the Pike National Forest.

    Situated at 7800 feet elevation, even summer nights get cool. Nearby 5 acre Manitou Lake is a trail walk away. You can toss your canoe or kayak in, but unless you are simply trout fishing, it’s tiny size doesn’t offer much variation.

    Numerous foot trails lead into the National Forest, offering wonderfully quiet hikes and exploration.

    There are 81 sites available, but some are adjacent to highway 67, so periodic road noise will be heard. The ponderosa pines assist in muffling highway noise.

    Neighboring sites are visible across the entire campground, but they are situated in such a way that you are not directly on top of each other.

    The back loop sites are larger and set deeper (Site 19, 20,21, 22, 23) which are my choice. Sites can be secured on www.recreation.gov. There are double sites which garner double fees. At the time of this review, sites are $23.00 nightly (a bit pricey for no showers or modern facilities). When there during the week, not including the host and groundskeeper, only four sites were filled. Most sites were reserved for weekends and upcoming Labor Day holiday.

    No RV/Campers over 36 ft permitted. Parking pads are gravel, a few are pull-through. Sites are non-electric with no hookups…no showers Water spigots, metal trash containers and pit latrines are spaced out through the campground. Each site has one stationary picnic table and a fire pit. Most sites appeared fairly level. No specific tent pad locations.

    With the towering ponderosa pines, there is ample shade.

    Plenty of trails permit mountain biking as well as the paved centennial bike path that runs along highway 67 from Woodland Park 15 miles north…that you can walk, in-line, cycle and even ebike.

    You have plenty of local activities to keep you busy, including the Red Rocks a couple miles south…or drive east on Rt 24 to Pikes Peak, or further into Manitou Springs for the Incline, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Garden of the gods and more!

    Just six miles south into Woodland Park offers every food or shopping option.

    All in all, a nice, clean campground in a great location.

    Mueller State Park Campground

    Absolutely Wonderful

    This is less than thirty minutes from my house, but feels like a world away. Spots are close but private and paved pads make leveling easy. Most sites are pull through along the road and include electric. Back in sites are also available. The campground was full even with the snow and cold in early September. There are very few undesirable spots within the grounds, and the group sites are exceptional.

    Vault and flush toilets are available at various locations through the campground, and there is a self-service dump station available at the front of the campground. We did run into the issue of people dumping buckets of waste in the dump station and not washing everything down, so look before you step.

    Tent pads are large platforms filled with pea gravel, and include well maintained picnic tables and fire rings. The grounds and campsites are beautifully maintained and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains are plentiful.

    Watch out for wildlife and be sure to read restrictions and rules on the maps provided at the gate - use and closures change seasonally.

    Colorado Campground

    Great location for exploring Colorado Springs and the area

    This Pike National Forest campground is run by Rocky Mountain Recreation which means you'll pay a $10 transaction fee if you make a reservation on recreation.gov. It looks like some sites are strictly walk-up. Check recreation.gov to see what's available, but you can just show up if there are available sites, pay at the self-pay station, and avoid the $10 transaction fee on recreation.gov.

    Every site has a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets (rather fragrant as you walk by because of the vent pipes) and trash dumpsters are conveniently located throughout the campground as is potable water. There are no bear-proof lockers but locking up your food is a prudent move.

    There are mostly back in sites but some pull through sites. Most of the pull through sites are partially protected from the road by a few tall pines and large rocks, but the pull through curve may be tight for some RVs. There are a few double sites (with double charge) if you need more space.

    Manitou Lake on the edge of the campground is a popular fishing spot, and there's a trail around the lake.

    Our site (#45) was rather close to the road, but the road noise was not bad throughout the park. Sites 40 through 44 are on a small loop and are probably the nicest sites even with a bit of road noise; these sites are near the trail to the lake.

    In my opinion, there are two things that make this campground stand out: 1) The sites are large and not on top of each other. This campground could have twice as many sites, but it's nice that it doesn't. 2) It's a great location because you're close to Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, US Air Force Academy, Cripple Creek (only if you're into gambling), lots of hiking trails...and on and on. It's close to Colorado Springs and even closer to Woodland Park. If you want craft breweries and restaurants, you'll find plenty. We enjoyed being close to a larger city after being in lots of small towns. We loved the inexpensive food at Uchenna (Ethiopian and Mediterranean), Taste of Jerusalem, and Azada Mexican as well as craft beer (Fossil Craft Beer Company and Phantom Canyon Brewing Company with ginger wheat ale, Belgian ale aged on cherries, hazelnut coffee stout, coconut/chocolate porter, and on and on) in Colorado Springs. Beer is $3 during a 3 to 6 pm happy hour at Phantom Canyon....yes!

    This campground is only open between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day.

    Colorado Campground

    Good location

    Colorado campground is situated outside of Woodland Park (10 minute drive) and right next to Manitou lake.  This is a great area central to the Pikes Peak wilderness area so many trails are nearby and activities while still being close to civilization if you forget something or choose to eat-out.  The CG itself is large, but the sites are well spaced apart...it is a primitive CG with picnic table, fire-pit and gravel pull through or back-in spots.  There are water spigots, vault toilets and garbage cans equally dispersed throughout.  In the summer they have an educational series also on the weekends of various nature/wildlife "seminars" that are great for the kids in their small amphitheater, although i don't know how frequent they are scheduled.  As others have stated its a short walk to the lake for fishing and canoeing if you choose.  The CG is well maintained and hosts are friendly.

    Cripple Creek Hospitality House & RV Park

    Best rv park in Tellar County

    Have spent summer 2021 here.  A few blocks from all the casinos (they all run shuttles).

    Great staff, owners on site daily.  There is a food truck (Doc's) with GREAT food, permanently on site. Laundry on site, Shower & bathrooms.
    The Cripple Creek Burros (free range about town) are here often. NOTE: the burros like our hummingbird feeders!
    Open year round (limited rv sites open through winter)
    Hotel on property was once the Cripple Creek Hospital and is "period restored."

    I've spent seven summers in Colorado in my rv, Hospitality House and RV Park has been one of the best summers we've had.

    32' 5th wheel, 50 amp. Reasonable long term rate.

    Falcon Meadow RV Campground

    Run down, but convenient

    We wanted to be close enough to family, hiking and biking, and get a monthly rate during our stay this summer. This is apparently a struggle in the Colorado Springs area during the popular summer season.

    The people who run the campground are an older couple and very nice, but somewhat disorganized. They were confused about our reservation, and accidentally overcharged us. No problem with a refund or our reservation in the end – just make sure you confirm everything if you decide to stay here.

    The office/camp store is in disrepair. The park itself is a little run down, with a few recent looking upgrades mixed in (shower house, new chairs at each campsite). The worst part of being here IMO is the rigs that are obviously long term and look it, e.g., makeshift DIY winterization like plywood skirting.

    Unless you get one of the spots in the back of the campground, all you see are these run down rigs. Not the mountains.

    It's depressing.

    There's moderate road noise from Highway 24. A white noise machine helps here.

    There are picnic tables at each site, on concrete slabs. The one at our site was unfortunately sitting in mud, because the slab is too low and everything drains there. It's also adjacent to some sort of open drain, which doesn't help.

    The maintenance guy came and shoveled the mud off the slab after we let them know we were moving the picnic table out of the mud. The next day it rained and the mud was back. By then I realized I didn't want to spend time outside in this park, at least not at the site we're in.

    Round Mountain

    Great area for OHV

    Round mountain campground

    $20 per night. There are no electrical hook ups or sewer hook ups for big rigs. It looks a little bit like dispersed camping. Each site has a picnic table and a designated fire pit. The sites are pull through in some situations. Not all of them, but some of them. There are restrooms on site with your credibly clean. The camp management seems to do a good job of keeping the area well organized. It’s nestled down in the trees and he’s very pretty and secluded. The issue in this area is that it is all designated for OHV usage so there is some noise. We pulled it on a Thursday afternoon and could see three or four ATVs riding around. The campground has designated quiet hours from 10 PM to 6 AM, but that won’t stop you from getting disturbed during the daytime. The other issue in this area as there is no firewood. They sell bundles for eight dollars at the managers office. My recommendation would be to come well prepared and bring lots of your own firewood. At the time we got in their water pump was also not working, but they were selling bottled water again at the Campground managers station.


Guide to Woodland Park

Woodland Park, Colorado sits at 8,465 feet elevation in the shadow of Pikes Peak, creating a high-altitude camping environment with temperatures typically 15-20 degrees cooler than nearby Colorado Springs. RV parks near Woodland Park provide access to mountain recreation while offering varying levels of utility hookups and amenities. During peak summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are common between 1-4pm, requiring secure awnings and rain preparation.

What to do

Wildlife viewing: Deer and turkey sightings are common at Diamond Campground & RV Park, especially in early morning hours. "We have uninvited friends, deers all over! Plenty of shade as well," notes camper Ioan P. The natural setting attracts various wildlife throughout the day.

Access outdoor trails: Many campgrounds connect to walking paths. At Pikes Peak RV Park, campers appreciate the "adjacent park to the property and access to an exercise trail behind the campground." The trail system connects to the larger Manitou Springs network, providing miles of hiking options.

Visit Woodland Park downtown: Located just minutes from most camping areas, the town offers restaurants and shopping. "Diamond Campground has it all... and a view of Pike's Peak from the gate," reports Ginny D. The close proximity to town services makes supply runs convenient for campers without requiring long drives.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Rocking M Ranch Campground offers spacious camping areas with natural separation. "Views of mountains, pines and aspens and privacy in the well designed sites! Owners and camp hosts were delightful and helpful," writes Lynne K. The campground's 30 sites are nestled among trees rather than packed together.

Cooler mountain temperatures: The elevation provides relief from summer heat. One Diamond Campground visitor noted it was "the best Campground yet! Well managed, clean, spacious sites, FHU, laundry." The higher altitude keeps daytime temperatures moderate even during July and August.

Proximity to attractions: Garden of the Gods RV Resort provides convenient access to regional sights. "Great spot with super friendly and helpful staff. After hours check in was easy and our campsite was easy to find," mentions Rebecca M. The location serves as a central base for exploring multiple attractions within a 30-minute drive.

What you should know

Site leveling requirements: Many RV parks in the Woodland Park area require leveling equipment. At Diamond Campground, "Sites are not level, bring proper equipment for leveling." The mountain terrain creates natural slopes throughout most campgrounds in the region.

Reservation timing: For weekend stays, book 2-3 months ahead during summer. "We wanted to be close enough to family, hiking and biking, and get a monthly rate during our stay this summer. This is apparently a struggle in the Colorado Springs area during the popular summer season," explains a camper at Falcon Meadow RV Campground.

Additional fees: Some RV parks charge beyond the base rate. At Peak RV Resort, one camper noted: "Total charge was $101/night with fees. $7 reservation fee (I called in) and $6.40 credit card fee." Request a complete breakdown of costs when booking to avoid surprises at check-in.

Cell service variations: Connectivity differs significantly between locations. At Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort, a visitor mentioned: "Only minor knock was the cell service which was nonexistent but they did have free internet which was a satisfactory alternative."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several Woodland Park area campgrounds offer play areas. A visitor to Diamond Campground noted "Lots of amenities, including parks with play equipment for the kiddos, a dog park, nice bathrooms & showers." These facilities provide on-site recreation options for younger campers.

Water activities: Colorado Springs KOA features water recreation options. "They have a water slide and other fun activities," reports a visitor. The water features operate seasonally, typically from late May through early September, weather permitting.

Safety considerations: For tent campers with children, select campgrounds with dedicated tent sections. At Diamond Campground, "there is a nice tent only section with a good number of spaces," allowing families to camp away from RV traffic and noise.

Tips from RVers

Pull-through availability: Many sites require backing in, but pull-through options exist at select locations. At Mountaindale Cabin & RV Resort, a camper mentioned: "We stayed in one of the pull through sites and found it to be spacious with everything working as expected."

Water hookup arrangements: Some RV parks have shared water connections between sites. Check the water hookup location when selecting a site to ensure your hose will reach. "The spigot was shared between our sites and thankfully our neighbor was kind enough to provide a splitter since the campground did not," noted a Garden of the Gods RV Resort visitor.

Electric service reliability: Power supply quality varies between parks. For consistent power during all seasons, one camper recommends Diamond Campground: "Everything on our 50 amp site worked perfectly. The site was ample for our toy hauler and truck."
