If you like the constant smell (and smoke) of California forest fires, then go to Lone Duck. This is because there is constant camp fires everywhere. Also, it is mainly a place for tents and pop-ups. Very few spots for full size RV's, which are completely unlevel and very tight spots. Playground was very loud by fishing pond. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small park, but seems the norm for the area. Real estate is at a premium here. Stayed here during off season so pool closed and pancakes for breakfast had ended. Did have plenty of room since sites on either side of us were empty. Otherwise would have been a tight fit. Must say how nice the owners are! Our washer overflowed and flooded our rig. They called to let us know there was a problem and had turned off the water. Came back to find water dripping from under the rig and inside pretty flooded. Owner met us there and then offered up his wet dry vac to clean up with. They also let us use a cabin free of charge to store our things in while the rig dried out. Beautiful views, great people, clean your lint filter and don't be like us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overall it is a great place to camp. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Our site was moderately treed. They have an all you can eat breakfast for $3.00 and the campground is close to local attractions. The owner steve and lisa are very friendly and nice. My family and I would certainly camp here again. It Would be nice if they had an ice cream social. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice and quiet campground. We stayed here late in the season starting on a Sunday. There were only four sets of campers. The staff was very friendly. This may be a difficult campground for very large motorhomes as some areas are very tight. We did fine in our 30' motorhome towing a vehicle. The Wifi has good saturation throughout the park and was very reliable. We would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lone Duck Campground was fun. The restrooms are a little old but fairly clean. There is a stocked fishing pond that you can pay $15.00 to fish in (up to three fish). Its close to some great attractions like Pikes Peek and the Colorado Springs Zoo. Its a little close to the road so you will have some road noise to deal with, but not too bad. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice CG but a little crowded for a 33" 5er. Fishing pond on site that cost to fish in. Nice playground and pool. Just felt a little packed in. Lots of road noise for Highway 24. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was our very first time camping. We had a 19ft 5th wheel. When I called to make reservations I asked for a secluded site. The owner told me he would do his best. When we arrived he showed us the site he had reserved for us, but also showed us other sites we might like better. The site he chose was perfect! Lots of trees, leveled, and in a nice location. There was plenty of hot water in the showers and the bathrooms were very clean. The lodge had free coffee and popcorn. Every morning there was an "all you can eat" pancake breakfast for $3. There was a nice pool and a great playground. There was also a pond for trout fishing, but we didn't use it. Lone Duck is close to many tourist places in the Pikes Peak region. We would come here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is definitely for families with children. Roads are not paved and we had some difficulty leveling our travel trailer. This is not a park for large rigs. It is best suited to tents, pop-ups and small trailers. It is handy to the attractions in the area and owners were helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
