    An absolute must-do experience! We reserved the main cabin so we needn't have carried our sleeping bags (would've saved us some weight). Lots of people that you meet and hang out with...the cabin has a little seating area with books, board games, a guitar, hot chocolate/coffee/tea and they serve the most delicious spaghetti ever! Sleep was pretty comfortable on the mattresses. It is hostel style so there will be other parties sleeping with you. We only had 9 people and the cabin can host up to 17 I think. So we had lots of room. The "necessary rooms" are very clean and stocked with toilet paper. Get torches or headlights for the night. Water source needs a filtration system. 100% recommend this!!

    We did the Manitou Incline at Sunrise then decide to continue to Barr Camp since we had plenty of time left in the morning. This was our first time doing a hike this long at such a high altitude. The path was clear and the weather was perfect. Around 60 degrees but would change periodically. The view's were amazing and the terrain changed from dry to wet and then we also saw snow. Rocky to soft ground to gravel. You experience everything. Some spots were tough because of the altitude but we did it. The Camp area is pretty clean and the cabin is pretty. The couple there were awesome. They offered us pancakes that were delicious. We bought a few shirts and talked for a minute. We also meet the big Chipmunk. FYI he loves unsalted almonds. We plan on doing this trip again and staying the night with hopes of continuing to the summit. I definitely recommend hiking to Barr Camp. If you.think you have it then add the Incline as an added bonus. It's tough but worth it.

    Really run down and sketchy. Stay at Fort Walmart before stopping here (and we have never stayed…read morein a Walmart parking lot). As others have noted, sites are on top of each other and the park seems to cater to families with little camping experience. Seriously, if nothing else is available, stay in a motel.

    Two stars! One for very friendly staff, and the second for convenient location. I for sure would…read morenot choose to pay to stay here ever again. The tent campsites are right on top of each other. Our picnic table was right next to our neighbor site's picnic table; you can share a meal with your stranger neighbor if you wish. The stall doors in the bathroom are comically short; they were cut to about knee height when sitting on the toilet so that your junk is at risk of exposure while you're sitting on the toilet. The campground is also RIGHT off the highway so you go to sleep to loud traffic noise and wake up to it, too. It also backs right up to a residential area, so you can look at the back of folks' houses and hear their dogs bark through night. There were roosters to wake you up in the morning, too (ngl I kinda liked that part). My husband and I are avid hikers and campers, so we've seen a lot of campgrounds. This is my least favorite, right after one of the KAOs in Virginia. During our stay, I playfully dubbed this place "the trailer park of campgrounds," and before you come after me, I grew up in a trailer park (so I would know!). If you need a convenient place to stay, it will do. It's a place to sleep. But if you're wanting privacy, space, and quiet (you know, the things people go tent camping for), then you'll want to go elsewhere.

    The bathroom stall door doesn't afford as much privacy as you might like! That's just at knee height.

    This RV park is all about the location and service. We went in the winter, so while the amenities…read moremay be great, we didn't use any of them. My only reason for one less star that "great" is that it would have been awesome to have a lil fire pit or grill at the "Deluxe" sites. Aside from that, we had a great stay. Location-wise, we rode our bikes to the Garden of the Gods paths, as well as to downtown Colorado City, where there are ample restaurants, little shops, etc. It's also biking distance to downtown Manitou Springs, which was very charming as well. Service-wise, we requested an early check-in so that we could get set up and have time to ride our bikes to an appointment nearby, and they us to check in a few hours early with no additional fee. They also have a chalkboard in the office with cool things going on in the surrounding area. Another cool feature of this RV Park - it's proximity to the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort. Within less than 5 minutes of walking, this place has live music and cute lil bar that really made our quick getaway weekend.

    An older resort we were kind of surprised we got a "deluxe site" and we're not sure what deluxe…read moremeans. The spaces are so close together and you get a picnic table setting on a slab of cement, the RV's on top of rocks. No trees in the deluxe sites. For the price you pay for RV parks anymore this one does not meet the Mark. If you pay for it in full when you book it, and if you cancel for any reason, there are no refunds. Lots of full-time RVs here. We came in first thing to do laundry, but they failed to tell us that you don't take quarters. You have to download an app that is so cumbersome. We had to call the staff twice to help us with it and we're pretty soggy when it comes to the Internet. Too much work for a Guest staying a couple of nights. We would not recommend this park. The only and I mean only Positive is that it's a good location, very close to garden of the gods and eating places.

    The staff was nice Location close to most things…read more The sights are a bit crammed together There is a nice walking tail with a river along side but there are a lot of homes and mentally ill just outside of the park and a long the trail. There is no cell service or internet whatsoever in the park!

    DO NOT STAY HERE!!…read more Upon arrival, our spot had 2 dead mice. When we asked to move spots we were told no that if we don't like our spot, we can leave. No effort to provide any kind of customer service or guest satisfaction whatsoever after we paid a $450 deposit. There were at least 20 other open spots on the property. When we parked at our spot, the kind (only nice person we encountered) maintenance guy said "if you don't like this spot, we can find you another other one". Well that sure as hell wasn't the case! Due to the location being near the city, we sucked it up and stayed anyway while trying to maintain a positive attitude. Later in the week we noticed the sewer was messed up. When we called and asked politely if the maintenance guy could come by to assist with the sewer issue, the front desk said abruptly "NO! He canNOT" without even asking what the issues was first. Overall, they were extremely rude and aggressive for no reason. We checked in on a Sunday and paid for a background check for a month. We were told that the reason why they run a background check nowadays is because they were trying to make the park a better, safer place. After inquiring how long the background check would take, we were told within 24 hours. Fast forward, we weren't told until the following Sunday, conveniently 7 days later, that although our background passed, there was another "list of reasons" why we are not being approved to stay for a month. We asked many times for this so-called list and were told they did not have to tell us why they were declining us. Sounds pretty sketchy that they took our $450 and then had us stay for the 7 days duration and then wasn't able to provide any documentation or notice as to why we were "declined". The manager, CLAIRE, approached us aggressively at our car the minute we arrived back to the park after a nice Sunday afternoon. She did not begin with introducing herself to us but just yelled out "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN GONE AT 11:00 THIS MORNING". We both blinked at her thinking she mistakenly took us for someone else. We explained that no, we are staying for the month and was waiting to hear back about the background check so that we could pay the remaining balance. She continued to spew out nonsense saying "oh we aren't extending you" as if she was continuing some kind of previous conversation that we never had. No one ever came by, called or talked to either of us about not "qualifying" for the month. There were many older campers here with trash, broken pieces of furniture, used tires, kid toys and mice everywhere on the property and our 4 year old camper with a 2 year old SUV was apparently an issue. This was clear discrimination going on especially since we were not even able to have the opportunity to defend ourselves. The road next to the campground is noisier than a highway, all hours of the night ambulances, revving engines, people honking, nonstop. The park smells like marijuana all day long and there are dogs barking and kids running around all day. There are no "rules" being implemented here. Save yourself the headache and don't even think about staying here.
