Cheyenne Mountain State Park

We get last minute reservations for this campground. Our kids go to school in CO Springs and we wanted to visit them. The site we were in was level, concrete, full hookup, clean, had Mountain View’s, had plains / city views... it was amazing.. The ranger on duty was friendly. I had a great conversation with him. The whole place was ... more

Campsites are advertised as $30, this is for a really nice, well thought out, full hookup site. However we HAD to go online to reserve, which added $10 (which is not stated when you begin the reservation process) and then we had to pay $8 for a day use permit. We tried for 2 days to get a site for one night. I think we got the site d... more

Very clean, nicely laid out sites, new buildings, well cared for. Great views and trails right in the campground. Wish we could have stayed longer but the weekend slots were already reserved. We heard that this state park is relatively new and used to be a private ranch.

We stayed for 10 days in total in 2 different spots. You need to check in at the Visitor Center in the off season and at the Camper Services after that. There's only full hookups available for RVs. T-Mobile worked well, we were able to work and stream videos without problem. We arrived late April and we had 1 spot in the Group are... more

Have stayed at Cheyenne Mountain State Park many times because it is only 6 miles from my home. Great place to get "Out of Town" without using much fuel. From a tourist perspective, this should be your number one place to stay in Colorado Springs. Most of the campgrounds in the Colorado Springs area are crowded and aging. Unfortunately... more

Even though this is less than 30 minutes from our house, we had avoided this place largely because of the rules not allowing dogs on any of the trails. But they ran a pilot this summer allowing dogs on certain trails, and it went well, and they have now officially opened up about 3 miles of trails to dogs - so we thought we'd make a qu... more

High 80's temps were cool for us, but warm for the residents of Colorado Springs. Great views, weather, and location for day trips to Bear Creek Nature Center, the privately funded Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Ft. Carson military Museum, and so much more. Our grandsons did not have a chance to get bored with all the hiking trails and the t... more

PROS: The park is well maintained, clean, has nice bathrooms, and offers some great trails. The staff were friendly and the visitors center is a great resource. The views of the city are spectacular! CONS: Listening to the bugle calls at Ft. Carson early morning, afternoon, and night is loud and irritating. There is very little to n... more

Wanting to visit Colorado Springs, we counted ourselves lucky in being able to snag a reservation for a few nights here just before the Fourth of July. This must be a really in-demand park as it was booked up for most of July and August. We stayed in the Swift Puma campground, right next to the campground host. The campsites in thi... more

We loved this state park. We had a beautiful view of Colorado Springs below, and the best part was having a view of all the July 4th fireworks going on around the city during the holiday weekend. Our site was spacious and had some privacy. There are many hiking and biking trails all through the park which were very nice. Verizon 4G c... more
