Very quiet, secluded camp with a wonderful view of Garden of the Gods. Amenities limited and owner not very friendly/helpful but nonetheless a pleasant place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice little park, convenient to Colorado Springs. The sites are level and almost all are full hookups. There are a lot of trees in the park. It might we a little tight for big rigs, but there are many here. Our site is by a small stream and the reception said if you put your chairs out, perhaps you would see the bear walking down the stream to the park next door, where he steals the food! We haven't seen him, but we will be looking for him. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our third time to stay here and we have never been disappointed. We love the close proximity to town (walking distance), the hosts are the BEST hosts we have ever encountered. They not only help each and every guest into their spot, they have been known to back your rig in for you if you need them to. This is our absolute favorite campground to stay in and we have been all over the US. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first stop in Colorado and we stayed for a week. The campground was everything we expected and a nice location to walk to town which we did just about everyday. ( We have to walk off all the food and ice cream!) The campground hosts are some of the nicest people we have met; very helpful with whatever you may need. There is a laundry on site and a real reasonable cost. I would go back if we ever find ourselves in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While the sites were close together, the overall ambience of this park more than compensated. Host met us upon arrival and helped us back into our site, and he and his wife had smiles the full two weeks we were here. The park is walking distance from Manitou Springs, has a nice stream in the front and a walking trail in the back. The morning daily paper was a nice touch. We plan to return when we are able. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for three nights. When we arrived we were met right away by the owners who lead us to our spot. We quickly discovered we would not fit (39 foot trailer w/ 3 slides). After a short wait they moved us to a spot we would fit in. The spots are very narrow. While we were waiting we were offered cold water and the kids were brought ice pops. Owners were awesome, very friendly and couldn't be more hospitable. Loved the morning paper waiting on our step when we got up. The restrooms and laundry room were very clean. Great location, very close to the activities we wanted to do. We traveled with our 2 dogs, extra charge of $6 per dog. The kids stopped in the office everyday for their ice pop. They said this was one of their favorite campgrounds just because of the ice pops! If we come back to the area we would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We are new to traveling in Colorado and this is Day 2 at a great little "no frills" RV Park. Nice place with blacktop drive, gravel and concrete sites, hookups are easy, sites a bit close, but the quietest night's sleep we have had during travels. This park has an excellent escort, who is courteous without being overly helpful. The biggest surprise is that one is made to feel like special guests. We had what felt like our own personal concierge, giving out maps and print-outs with information needed to decide what to see and do in the area. A plus for hubby was the free daily newspaper, haven't had that before. Felt like that small town feeling. We were here to visit relatives and if ever in the area again will most definitely stay here again. We never give out 10s. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is located in the town of Manitou Springs. It is close to shopping, restaurants and attractions. It is a nice little park with a nice setting. There are some trees but we had no problem with satellite. The park hosts were very nice and extremely helpful. There is an aquatic and exercise center within walking distance of the park which is very nice. There is also a walking trail close by. We enjoyed staying here and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here during March/April, 2010, and enjoyed every day. The sites are a bit narrow especially if you have an extra vehicle in tow. Staff are very friendly; bathrooms are spotless; hiking trail to downtown Manitou Springs (west) or Garden of the Gods (east); Pikes Peak looms over your front door. Located on Manitou Ave. so it can be a bit noisy. We would recommend it to anyone who is passing through or plans to see the surrounding area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites on creek are not 50 amp not all sites are satellite friendly only those at back of park awkward to get into and out of but staff is very friendly given the other parks in the area this is by far the best there is small store but very little in it you are at the edge of the downtown area so all the tourist traps are within walking distance. is an easy drive to all the nature sights and they can make the stay worthwhile. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here because of the rave reviews for this park. Location is great and hosts wonderful. However, it is a small and sightly packed feeling park. You hear road noise in the park. You park right next to another rig and while there is some space, you do not feel any privacy. All sites are gravel with a small concrete pad. Facilities are clean and the maintenance was super. That being said, for our needs for a two night stay, it was more than adequate. The dog walk is a great trail out the back of the park that meanders into a city park one way and over a hill the other. I would stay here again but is not a 9/10 in my book. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This year we have been out over 71 days in numerous campgrounds, private and public, but Pikes Peak RV Park in Manitou Springs, Colorado, was the best. The most accommodating hosts, appearance of the park, clean restrooms, and price were such a pleasant experience. We actually felt like guests. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

What a wonderful RV Park! Although, it is small and cozy, the setting and location is exceptional. Our site #13 was well shaded and easy to back into with our big rig. The staff was eager to inform us of all of the nearby sites and answered all of our questions. My husband stayed in this park with his family in 1960, the year the park opened. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spaces all back in, very tight. Unable to put out awning due to lack of space, neighbors hook- ups in our space, 2 - 3 feet from our rig. Had to put picnic table in front of trailer, limited places to park vehicle. CG close to road, very noisy with traffic and sirens day and night. Nature trail behind campground was nice but difficult to get to as other rigs parked in front of entry, have to walk through campsites to get to trail. Never introduced to managers, office ladies were nice, parking person rude and not very helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Although this campground is mostly back-in's and you're close to your neighbor, it is still one of my favorite campgrounds to stay at. Largely due to the managers, Chris & Margie, who make your stay so very enjoyable as well as its proximity to downtown Manitou Springs. This is our second time to stay a week here and when we leave, we have new friends and good memories. There is no cable and limited sites have satellite, but unless that is a deal breaker, this is #1 in my books. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is very well maintained and is within walking distance of the many downtown shops and restaurants. Our site backed up to a stream that runs through the town; one morning a deer was there for a drink! Very convenient to Cog Railway & Garden of Gods. The staff is friendly and helpful. The downside is that the sites are very close together. Good laundry. Right across the street from a good Italian restaurant. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice small CG within walking distance to downtown and community pool. Bike/walking trail at back edge of park. Margie & Chris, who run the park, are wonderfull & very helpfull. The only thing stopping a much higher rating is the small gravel lot sizes. $30/day is the summer weekly rate. The location is excellent for access to Manitou Springs & Colorado Springs.

I have been a full-time RVer for a the last couple of years. I stayed here for a few months this year and I feel the need to express my gratitude to the owners. I love people who are good at what they do, and these people take great pride in their park. I have stayed at several different parks, and I have never had such great service. Everything is super clean, and they are at your service and always with a smile. If you love the outdoors, you could not pick a better park. If you appreciate a nice creek and the most beautiful trees, you will love this park. Hiking trails in every direction, with beautiful sites. Downtown Manitou Springs is just down the street with great shops, fun people to watch, and great music. If you are a dog person you will love this town and park. Beautiful hiking trail from the park that leads to downtown Manitou Springs, and the town is very dog friendly. There is even a bar that lets you bring your dog inside. I wish I could remember the name, but just ask, and you will find it. Thanks: I will forever appreciate all you did for me while I was here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were pleasantly surprised at how friendly the manager and staff were here. The site is located in downtown Manitou Springs, right before town center. So, as in other RV parks located in and around Colorado Springs, the space between campers is very tight. We were lucky this weekend as the campground was not full. There are no fires allowed so if you are expecting a fire at night, this park wont work. City swimming pool next to RV park charges $5 per adult to swim. Lots of mature trees for lots of nice shade. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Having stayed in quite a number of RV parks across the country (way too many KOAs), this has to be in my top five, perhaps top two. The staff here are amazingly friendly and helpful, the park and restrooms clean, and the location unbeatable. The nature trail behind the park (for dog walks, walking, or biking) is an amazing perk, as is the stream running through it. The most amazing part? Getting a newspaper delivered to our rig each morning. We now plan to make Manitou Springs a destination in our future travels and partly because of the RV park -- but also because this area is full of so much to see. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second visit to this wonderful campground, and we felt like we were coming home. The managers are very welcoming. They work hard at keeping the campground clean. The bathrooms and laundry room are spotless. The sites are level. The grounds are lovely. We felt very comfortable in the nice, quiet setting. Our puppy had a good time here, too! The campground is in a great location and easy to access. The weekly rate was $150. We will definitely return! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was easy to find and our back-in site was easy to access. The managers are great people; friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There is a pet walk behind the park that is actually a community path that leads to a park close by. There is, as well, a short walk right into Manitou Springs. The park was clean, our site was gravel and level and it was very quiet. We always look for quiet above all other items and this park was perfect in that regard. The laundry room was clean and prices were best we have encountered in our visits in Colorado ($1 wash and $0.75 for 45 minutes drying). We discovered that Manitou Springs is the best place to use as a base camp with exploring the entire Colorado Springs, El Paso County area. We would happily stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here on a "chance." It is a wonderful park. The management is top notch. They even loaned us a ladder so we could do a minor roof repair. Manager sat and chatted with us at our campsite one evening. There is a lovely mountain stream that ran right behind our RV and deer would wander down it in the evening. The campground is only about a mile from downtown Manitou Springs and Historic Old Colorado City. It is very close to Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, the Cliff Dwellings, Caves, waterfalls, etc. This has been the best campground of our travels since last January. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are shade trees, flowers, and a nice path along a creek at the back of the campground. Great WIFI. Immaculate laundry room.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a no frills, simple CG with awesome owners. I appreciated the blacktop drive & gravel sites as it kept the dust down. The utilities were good, and though the sites are tight and close together, we had no problems with our 40 ft rig. Marge is like a personal concierge, giving you all the info you need to tour the area. On our day of departure she showed up at our door early with a pancake breakfast. ( I teased her for days about cooking breakfast for me and never expected it). Her husband Chris also went out of his way to make all the campers comfortable and feel at home. If you're in this area to tour, stop in here to stay as its location puts you right in the middle of all the area attractions. We will surely be back someday. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Small park but immaculate. Margie the manager is absolutely fabulous and will go to great lengths to make sure your visit is all you hoped it would be. Satellite is good at the back of the park. We are in sight 12 and get great reception. The WiFi is very fast. At back of park is nice walking path leading to small park with ponds and public swimming pool. Park is about one mile from Manitou Springs and there are about 100 specialty shops and great restaurants. Laundry nearby that does drop-off service and major shopping and groceries nearby. Liked it so much we extended to 8 days and only for the fact that we have to leave for Alaska would stay longer as lots to do in this area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The nicest and friendliest owners of a beautiful, small RV Park you would ever meet. We called at the last minute and they were willing to accommodate us that very evening. It was after 7 pm and she was already at home. I told her my rig size and she said "no problem". When we arrived she gave me a choice of sites. Her husband and co-owner even walked us around explaining amenities of each site (i.e. stream location, road noise, shade, breeze or heat). While I went in to pay he helped my husband back in! The owners are just terrific and their park is full of big, old, beautiful trees tucked next to a mountain stream. We parked under the trees next to the stream and did not stay long enough. A true jewel! We camped here in a Motorhome.

An OK RV Park. I was visiting friends at the Broadmoor and it is only 8 miles away. Lots of trees but satellite TV is available on the back row. I stayed in space 16. Shared hookup post. Fortunately I was able to use site 15s 50amp - no one in the space. Site 16 shares with 17 and 50amp was being used. Tight space. Barely able to get my car on the site. Free newspaper each morning. Good, free, open wi-fi. Office looks abandoned - used to have lots of stuff but most shelves are empty. Some spaces were muddy. Needs new gravel. Paved roads or OK. A bit pricey but a lot cheaper than the KOA in Fountain - and closer to downtown. I will stay here again when I visit friends in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are extremely narrow. My neighbors slides covered about half of my cement patio. About
half of also very short, my 26 ft 5th just made it. Management is dictatorial about any percieved violation of rules. Not worth the site fee, although $30 is consistent with most parks in the Colorado Springs area. But there are better for the money.2004 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
