Great for RVs looking for hookups and perfect for camping bikers looking for an accommodating base to jettison the trailer or camping gear for a few days while exploring the many natural and historical wonders offered within easy riding distances. The roads and scenery in the area are amazing and this is the best place to rest weary bones whether you’re just passing through for one night or making it a destination for one of the many special events held at the campground or nearby.

For this many stars you might expect a high end RV Resort. But it's the opposite and that what makes it awesome. Was trailering my boat and needed a place to stop for a couple days and Tim the owner was completely accommodating and super helpful, doing whatever it took to make my stay comfortable.

Tim is very knowledgeable and very friendly. He will make sure you are happy while you stay at his camp ground. He doesn't have bathrooms but he does have a porta potty. He does have showers with hot water. He does have maps of the area just incase you forget yours. He also has wifi if it's a must for you. Not the best but it does the job.

Not the best but it does the job. The camp site is a work in progress so don't think it's a 5 star hotel. While there,Tim left his music playing until very late. Other wise this place was great.

Positives: Full hook ups and only about 34 mins from Garden of the Gods and Cave in Rock, which were both awesome. Negatives: basically everything else. There was no welcome packet, no bathhouse or laundry that we saw, the dumpster on site is chained so I'm not even sure if we were supposed to use it. I expect more from a campground at $50 a night.

Negatives: basically everything else. There was no welcome packet, no bathhouse or laundry that we saw, the dumpster on site is chained so I'm not even sure if we were supposed to use it. I expect more from a campground at $50 a night. The worst thing is there is a long term tennant who has 15 beagles (not exaggerating) and they are outside in a little fenced area and they bark constantly. When we arrived and I was walking my senior deaf dog, 2 of them jumped the fence and rushed at us barking aggressively. I picked up my dog because she doesn't even hear them approaching and they are clawing up my legs trying to get at her. This is obviously not the owner of the campgrounds fault, however I wish I would have known before we decided to stay here. Would not recommend this camp.
