Camping near PSICC

We camped here a few times. The spot closest to the mining town has been my favorite so far! It is in a canyon so you won't have any cell phone signal, though I had my Starlink set up and it worked flawlessly.

We will go back, and I hope to get that spot before any other!

It is a bumpy road, but we had an F150 and a Santa Fe, that both made it in fine, though some spots are walking only.

The history is awesome, the drive is beautiful, and there is a creek that runs along close by at every site.

Stayed overnight passing through to Utah. Only one other person there. Windy and cold the night we stayed. I bet it’s busy in the summer.

This is not a camping vacation destination. It is a good place to stay if you’re visiting family or temporarily working in the Colorado Springs area. It is a parking lot with full hookups (heated water spigots). A lot of rules about not keeping a trashy site but there are trashy sites. Gated entry and exit (fob or keypad to enter). Two dog runs. NO SMOKING on the property. Sites are close together. We stayed 40 days visiting family so all the negatives were not a big deal with us as we only slept here.

The views, the cleanliness, the people, OHV's, and the calm all 5 stars 🌟 The lack of overnight is what made this 4stars

We loved this little campground. It was only about 3/4 full on a weekend September. Mix of tents and teardrops, very quiet and sites felt private. The host was very helpful.

Pulled in late to this quiet tidy little campground. It was very quiet and well kept. A very easy place to make a reservation and stay last minute!

There are FF and reservation sites available. If you plan to pay on site be sure to have a tap to pay Credit card, there is no drop box only a CC machine. Plenty of reservation sites for rigs and maybe 4 FF sites that can fit a trailer. No water or trash though, little pricey for 20$

My group took three sites and 3 tents and everyone enjoyed their stay. It was our first time and definitely will not be our last

This facility is well cared for and fairly easy to get in and out of.

Not another person in sight for a week. Wonderful access to Shelf climbing. Very peaceful.

Did the shelf trail from cripple creek to canon city. Was good place to camp for the night quite a few spots, flat, big. Amazing views! Incline getting up to isn’t bad, TT’s might have some trouble. Everyone else should be fine.

Nice CG with a lot of amenities for kids. Large sites, good FHUs. We booked a pull through - level gravel (shame they don't rake the sites between stays). A lot of constant road noise from I-25. Great riparian area with trails outside of the CG. We would stay here again.

We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t crowded at all. The dispersed sites aren’t far from the road since most of the road goes down a valley with hills on both sides however there’s a nice creek running down the whole way. Definitely check it out if you don’t mind a colder night in a valley. Not much room to explore outside your vehicle unless you’re okay walking down the dirt road to see other sites and views.

The road is a well maintained gravel road. There are quite a few available spots for folks with 4x4 drive or tent camping. I would NOT suggest this for larger rvs. I travel in a camper van and the spots I could use were more limited but still a few available.

Honestly, just the drive is worth it. The scenery is amazing. You’re winding down the road next to a creek (was dry when I was there) in between mountains. It’s absolutely amazing.

Zero signal. Like absolutely none.

There is a rest stop a few miles in with basic toilets. Nothing special but really nice option to have.

Stopped in for overnight heading West from KC October 1. Beautiful.
