Cheyenne Mountain
Overview
Cheyenne Mountain State Park offers a premier outdoor experience on the southwestern edge of Colorado Springs. Known for its diverse ecosystem and stunning prairie-to-peak transitions, the park provides a well-maintained basecamp for exploring the Front Range. With over 2,700 acres of protected land, it successfully balances modern camping conveniences with immediate access to rugged natural beauty and quiet ponderosa pine forests.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just south of the city limits, the park offers a unique vantage point where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. Travelers enjoy expansive views of the city lights to the east and the towering face of Cheyenne Mountain to the west. The elevation provides cooler evenings even during the peak of summer, making it a refreshing retreat for those looking to stay close to the urban amenities of Colorado Springs.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV facilities are top-tier for a state park, featuring 51 full hookup sites that include water, sewer, and 50-amp electrical service. Each site is paved and designed with enough space to accommodate larger rigs comfortably. Guests have access to a central camper services building, which houses modern restrooms, coin-operated showers, and laundry facilities. Additional features include a dedicated archery range and a visitor center that highlights local wildlife and history.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts can access over 28 miles of multi-use trails suitable for hiking and mountain biking directly from the campground loops. Beyond the park gates, the location serves as a perfect hub for regional sightseeing. Visitors are within a 20-minute drive of Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the historic Broadmoor district. For a longer excursion, the Pikes Peak Highway and Manitou Springs are easily accessible for a full day of Colorado adventure.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for travelers who want a manicured camping experience without sacrificing the feeling of the wilderness. It is particularly well-suited for families who appreciate educational programs and safe trails, as well as big-rig owners who prefer paved pads and reliable utilities. It is a perfect choice for those who want to visit the Pikes Peak region while avoiding the tighter spaces found in many private urban RV parks.

Excellent mountain biking and hiking trails. Fabulous Visitor’s Center! Amazing archery range and educational activities.
Millee Walker
This state park is one of the best RV friendly places we've stayed at so far. Easy access for any rv up to 40', possibly longer. Extremely clean park, including the restrooms 🚻!! Lots of wildlife here. We have seen Mule Deer, turkey, prairie dogs, and other native animals. We totally enjoyed the stay and wish we were able to stay much longer. However, our journey only included 2 days here. Very close to all major Colorado Springs attractions!! Make sure you plan to make reservations way before going there. It's obviously a very popular campground. We were lucky to get the ada spot two weeks in advance. There was no other non ada available for more than 4 weeks of advance checks we made. Make your reservation soon and go visit this amazing state park!!!

This is one of the most beautiful parks, views are fantastic, weather wonderful. You can hike trails even with your dog, you can go bicycling. Plus it’s close enough to the city to shop or go to restaurants. And it’s extremely clean!!
