This is a great campground. No pool but a very large hot tub and community fire pit with lots of wood. Fun to sit out with other campers and watch the fire. This is not a resort but more like State and Federal campground which are more fun. Close to a lot of attractions; example one: 8 mile to the entrance of Pikes Peak We camped here in a Motorhome.
Warning! If you have a big rig: check your site before you pay! Site was beyond too small and should never have been assigned to a 38" motorhome. We learned a lesson here and will not stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is not a resort. You better have all your skills to back into your spot. Very dusty and noisy. Would look for a better park. Too far away from Pikes Peak Train. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for ten days over the fourth of July. Big rigs may find it a little tight. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is very little to do at the park but it is very close to town. We used it as a base to sight see the area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Areas of the park needing upgrading. Areas with 30 amp service in poor condition. Did state they were in the process of upgrading to 50 amp a little each season. Several permanent RV's in the park. Annual seasonal sites of repeat returning customers littered with unsightly piles of possessions (should require a storage shed). They work daily on interior roads filling in ruts. Use of satellite TV/internet reception difficult. Sites are tight for larger rigs and difficult to maneuver. Staff very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
In the middle of the night we had an emergency with our infant. We went to the camp host to find out where the nearest hospital was located and to let them know our older children (including teens) were going to be staying. The camp host was rude and stated she didn't know where a hospital was located. Luckily we had noticed an ambulance service just down the road so we went there and they helped us out. There was lots of "stuff" around many of the camping sites that made it look run down and dirty. The road through the campground was rough with ruts. The bathroom/showers were filthy, and the dumpsters were full when we arrived and were never dumped the 4 days we were there. It did attract bugs and a variety of other wildlife. I would not recommend this location and will not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you want satellite, cable tv and level sites, forget this campground. Lots of ruts from recent rains. They were nice enough to give me a refund because I was unhappy and dissappointed. The campground seemed to be mostly seasonal residents with lots of old stuff sitting around that never moves...we won't be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Would not try this one ever again. I made reservations for 50 amp but when I got there he said all the 50 amps were taken. I tried the 30 amp, which has always worked in the past, but at this park when drawing only 10 amps I was only getting 100 volts. In the interest of not loosing all of my electrical equipment I told the owner and he said it was the best he could do and that it was alright if I went some place else. Later that day I found that he had charged my credit card $25 and was not going to give me a refund. I the interest of saving your expensive equipment don't stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very clean RV Park. You can tell the owner and managers take great pride in their park. All spots have gravel, many are shaded, many have great views of Pikes Peak, and pretty level also (although larger RVs may some problems on some of the smaller lots). No restrooms or showers. Very close to all the great restaurants (the Chinese Restaurant right beside it is one of the best we've ever eaten at) and shopping. Will stay again and again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Extremely friendly owners--big rig friendly-nice big sites-clean and well laid out--nice place to stay and relax while enjoying the beauty of the area--would definitely stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is located conveniently close to Downtown Woodland Park. The Eleven Miles reservoir is about half an hour west of the campground. Tents are not allowed and there are no public restrooms/showers offered. WIFI signals are very strong and free. The owner and managers were very nice. Our site was given to another family but they gave us a couple of other options. The sites are mostly close together but comfortable enough for us to sit out at night. Campfire is not allowed unless you bring your own fire ring with a cover. There are some permanent residents but they are placed all the way at the back of the campground.The campground also offered the best view in town - you can see Pikes Peak from here. It is also close to grocery stores, gas stations and Dinosaur Museum. All in all, its a very nice and clean campground. Might come back again next year considering the rate is pretty decent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
