Our time tent camping at Golden Eagle Campground was all around wonderful! The facilities were clean, the staff was kind and responsive, and it was quiet yet close to town. We would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to find a place to camp in the Colorado Springs area!

The campground is just 30 minutes south of Colorado Springs but feels like it's deep in the mountains. It's nestled in the foothills and has a fishing lake with a big shade tree and picnic table that sits a above the city so you just see sky, not city. We had full hookups and an incredible bug museum at the front office within walking distance of our campsite (which had a fire pit and picnic table). Firewood is $1/piece. Also, plenty off shade trees, swings, grass volleyball, basketball hoop, and tetherball! Highly recommend!

The campground staff beyond helpful and welcoming. Check in was smooth with all the information, and camp staff is constantly making laps around the campground. It’s a bigger campground so it’s nice to see a staff taking the time to ensure people are being courteous. They are also very flexible when able! Our spot was just a bit snug to fit our camper, and they found us 3 more spot options and let us take our pick. There’s tons of trails around, lakes and privacy at most sites with trees. The electrical and water hook ups can be a bit confusing as they’re hidden in the brush in some sites. Also very dog friendly as the staff would make laps on their golf carts with their pups too. This was an amazing start to our 11 day journey up to Alaska. We would definitely be back!

We had a really good time! At camp sites 227 + 229 The flushing tiolets and hot showers were awesome and we really liked being able to go the little lake that had lots of rainbow trout. Tent camping- the spots were clean and most seemed level enough. The rocks around the fire were convient for cooking in the fire. Bring your own grate. Water and electric at the campsite were great. Host handled a reservation mishap by letting us choose our own spot. We chose a spot without anyone next to us so we could spread out a little more cause the actual campsites could be more spacious (around 20ft wide) so if you're at a spot without bushes it wont feel very private. We would definitely book 2 spots next to eachother again when we come back.

We stayed at Golden Eagle Campground in Colorado Springs nearly every weekend last summer and truly had a great time for most of our visits. The location is beautiful, and we made a lot of good memories there. However, our last night completely changed our perspective. We were told there had been noise complaints about our site, but this was never brought to our attention at the time. Had we known, we absolutely would have addressed it right away. What was most upsetting was that our camper was disconnected from electricity that night without any warning. This was not only frustrating but also dangerous, as my husband relies on oxygen and needs consistent power. When we tried to discuss the situation, the owner confronted us instead of handling it in a calm and respectful way, which made things even more uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate because we really did enjoy spending time there, but the lack of communication and how this situation was handled left us disappointed.
