This campground truly is one of the cleanest and well-maintained campgrounds I have ever been to…read more The bathrooms were cleaned once or twice a day(didn't smell!) and the sites were very well maintained. We loved that there was a short little walk to Manitou Lake from the sites(sites in the 40 loop area) and it was absolutely gorgeous. Summers in Colorado come with afternoon rain so be prepared! Bring plenty of tarps and arrive early so you're not setting up in the rain. Tree coverage is pretty good at the sites here but I will say the nearby Spring Meadow campground is a bit denser in terms of trees and provides more shade and protection from the elements(slightly smaller sites though!). The campground is located next to a farm which was quite the surprise. You could hear the cows in the middle of the night so you might want to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. My niece loved the cows and overall, it was definitely a great place for kids. Plus, Woodland Park is less than 15 minutes away which was nice if you happen to forget anything. Would definitely come back for the bathrooms alone. Huge shout out to the camp hosts for maintaining the grounds so well. 4 stars only because we had to battle with a lot of ant hills on our sites and the cows kept me up the first night (all things that come with being outdoors) Some sites that I wrote down were 15, 19, the one across from 24. The 40 loop sites are big but high traffic because of the trail to the lake. We stayed at site 24 and it was large enough for three pop up tents, one 15 person tent, one 4 person tent, one 6 person tent, AND a badminton net.

Colorado Campground is a very FAMILY FRIENDLY place to camp. Despite its generic name (don't Google…read more"Colorado Campground" and expect to get specific results), this place is one of the better campsites I've seen. It's within a 1.5 hour drive of Denver, too! High Points: The Short Drive. Like I said, this is a family friendly place, and you don't want to stuff your wee bairn into a car for four hours just to get out of the city and See All The Nature. Kids and long car trips do not mix. The Trees! Beetle kill hasn't hit this part of the state yet, and most of the sites here are graced with at least partial shade. Lodgepole Pines (I think) cover the entire campground. It's awesome. The Little Fishing Lake. A short trail walk off site will land you on the shores of Manitou Lake. Apparently it's stocked with trout. If you didn't bring live bait, you can drive about 7 miles back down the hill to the Loaf n' Jug in Woodland Park. "D'ya want 18 babies or 12 Night Crawlers?" Bike Trails. You can ride a smooth paved one all the way back down to Woodland Park and beyond, if you so choose. There are also several singletracks leading out of the campsite as well. Not-Really-Low, But Things-You-Should-Know Points: Generators Are Allowed. Some of those suckers are noisy, too. It's kind of hard to Enjoy All The Nature when somebody's stupid genny is running full tilt a mere couple yards away. Annoying. No Cooking Grates on the Fire Pits. There's a metal fire ring at every site, but instead of the usual grate you can flip over the top, there's a big metal slab. So, if you're planning to grill right over your campfire, you'd do well to bring one from home. Yes, you can fry on it... like a skillet (and we were able to even boil a big pot of water on that slab), but if you're wanting open-air, open-fire grilling, you're out of luck. Kids, Kids, and more Kids. We brought the shawties, so this was just fine by us! But if you're looking to rage an all-night kegger, you might want to pick another campground. I'm all for raging all-night keggers when the time is right, but this isn't the place for it. I'd say at least 80% of the campsites here were occupied by families with small children. No Swimming. The aforementioned little lake is for fishing and non-motorized boating only. No body contact allowed... And Remember When I Said That Lake Was Stocked With Trout..?? We didn't catch any. Neither did anybody else (we asked). HOWEVER, if you like crawdads, you can catch yourself a bountiful meal. We pulled a crawfish on every catch. Bring your own Old Bay Seasoning. That about covers it! $20/night will get you a nice little break amid All The Nature. OH, one more thing. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESERVE A CAMPSITE HERE ON RESERVEAMERICA.COM. If you go there, it will tell you that you that this is a walkup-only campground--- no reservations allowed. This isn't true. The Camp Host explained to us that ReserveAmerica sucks, and we should never use it, as all the National Park campgrounds have 80% reservable sites, with the remaining 20% left for first-come-first-serve walkups. Lesson learned. Go to Recreation.gov instead.

It's just too easy to prefer high mountain summits, national parks and forests or private land. But Colorado State Parks are like none other. Many landmarks and places that make up the state parks of Colorado, had they been found in other parts of the country might have been designated national parks by leaders of yore. That's just the outsized grandeur of Colorado. I'll even venture: it makes other western states squirm with envy. All of Colorado is like an unofficial national park. It is, without debate, the best non-coastal state in the nation. Mueller and so many other places are a testament to that.

We were there in our 5th wheel and our friends were in the next site in their travel trailer. The cost was $108.00 per night after our KOA discount. First the good. The KOA set us up as a buddy site from the start. I had no problem running the electric, water and sewer under the RV to hook up. The sites are pretty level. We got patio sites one step below deluxe patio and that was plenty wide and long enough for us. Oh, and on setting up, the person who guided us to our spot also took the table and chairs from one side of our spot and put them on the other as would be right for a buddy spot. The store was well stocked with the usual stuff and the staff was friendly. All good. Now, the not so good. We have done trip yearly for the last few years and one thing we always liked was the amount of daily activities they had. Well, that went away this year. Yes, we were there during the week and in the past, there were activities like Tie Dying shirts, etc. This year... nothing. We were told that the activities bldg was only open specific days during the week but that all the activities were on the weekends. That was a big disappointment for us because we travel with a total of 6 kids under the age of 12 so finding things for them to do is important. Yes, there is a playground for the very little, and a bounce pad and of course a splash pad and a small pool. We just looked forward to the scheduled activities. They were always great. I can understand only having activities on the weekend in the off season, but this is right at the height of summer, the week after 4th of July. On the pool. Folks can come from the local area to the KOA and buy a day pass so they can enjoy the pool as well. So it was crowded to the point that by the end of the day, the water level in the pool had dropped by almost a foot from all the splashing. The water in the pool, by midday, was murky at best but I guess that would be expected with that many folks using it and probably over taxing their filter system. There is a covered area at the pool where 4 sets of table and chairs are set up. In the past, those were available on a first come first serve basis. This year they were reservation only and a reservation cost $20.00 for half a day and $40.00 for a full day. So for most of the day, they were empty. I get needing to make money, but... One last thing on the pool area. There were breaks in the cement around the splash pad. They were covered by thick rubber mats. These mats were however torn up and bunched up, etc which resulted in a tripping hazard. Ok, this review is long enough. With all this said, we are still going to book the KOA for next year and give it another shot hoping that the activities center will be open and in full swing again and that maybe the table and chairs around the pool will be better utilized. I don't know if other than not allowing folks from the outside to use it, anything can really be done about the pool.

Think after this reply by the ownership, I'll be looking into criminal charges against those two for making a false report to police. Avoid this KOA at all costs! They wonder why they're at a 2.9 star rating... If they have a disagreement with you, they'll call the police and make up false accusations to kick you out. Guy in the yellow rudely kicked my disabled son out of their hot tub (he only had his feet in it). I simple said I was going to leave a bad review about the experience and I asked if he felt like a "big man" for kicking a special needs person out of a hot tub. He told guy in blue (apparently the manager), that I said "dead man walking" and threatened him... Before we could even start packing up, they called the police. Officers arrived, explained that they call all the time with false accusations about campers and remove them. Neither would even try and talk it out, they just called the cops. Luckily the officers have sense and know their pattern. We told the officer we were already leaving and just asked how much time we needed and left. There were red flags before this incident, whole campground is dirty and poorly maintained. My sewer line (where poop goes) was broken, and who knows how much sewage has leaked through that broken pipe... the hot tub is murky, the pool has some oil looking sheen, bathrooms are poorly maintained and dirty (look at previous reviews). They worry more about arbitrary rules and calling cops if you disagree at all than maintaining their campground. Avoid at all costs, plenty of better camp ground in Colorado Springs. If you are brave and camp there, we aware of the two pictured, the one in blue says he'll always take the word of the guy in yellow, meaning he can say whatever he wants and is never "wrong"... he'll change the story and make up accusations and guy in blue just goes with it. I am escalating this to KOA Corporate and I hope they get new management in there. They're also lucky I don't push forward with false accusations charges over what the guy in yellow made up. Even the cops rolled their eyes when I explained the story...

Her entire leg is bruised. I learned my lesson. Never assumed that people will control their dogs. This man shouted at me with the F word while he stood and watched his three large-breed dogs attack my little dog.

Helen Hunt Falls sits within a city park, but it never really feels like one. North Cheyenne Cañon is its own character. Intimate. Shaded. Winding. While the city feels far away, beware the tight hairpin curves and oncoming vehicles. In its own way, it is unique like South Cheyenne Cañon, home to the dramatic Seven Falls.

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.
