Beautiful park. Outstanding campground. Very clean. Well spaced with trees/ bushes between most sites.

We stayed back in September at this campsite and it checked all the boxes. The views were absolutely beautiful—perfect for relaxing mornings and peaceful evenings by the fire. The sites were easy to access, with solid concrete parking pads that made setup quick and stress-free. Full hookups (water, electric, and sewer) worked perfectly the entire stay, which made everything super convenient. One of the highlights was the fire ring—it was ideal for cooking and we ended up making some really great meals right at our site. The campground also has a nice playground, which is great if you’re traveling with kids, and the showers were clean and well-maintained—always a big plus. Overall, a comfortable, scenic, and well-equipped spot that I’d definitely come back to.

I recently spent time at Cheyenne Mountain State Park and it is easily one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the area. The views are incredible, with wide open landscapes and stunning mountain backdrops that make you feel like you are miles away from the city. The trails are well maintained and offer something for everyone, whether you are looking for a peaceful walk or a more challenging hike. It is also a great spot for biking and wildlife watching. I was impressed by how clean and well cared for everything is, from the trails to the facilities. What really stood out to me is how peaceful it feels. You can truly disconnect, get some fresh air, and reset while still being just a short drive from town. If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature, get active, or simply take in some amazing Colorado scenery, this park is definitely worth visiting.

My family stayed at one of their cabins. It was nice all the amenities of home but in an outdoor environment. It's right across from Fort Carson, so convenient if you're visiting Colorado Springs but still want to "camp" without the need to bring everything.

While the park is situated close to town, it is still wonderfully peaceful. Yes, you can hear loud cars on 115 from time to time, and Ft. Carson is right across the highway with all of its associated noises, but this is still a fabulous park. There great hiking and mountain biking trails to be had and it was not super busy at all. But we were here the second weekend of November.
