Very responsive staff that is always willing to support you and your family to the fullest. Fantastic views of the mountains with multiple hiking trails. This campground is located close to the city for supplies but far enough out to enjoy a cup of Coffee watching deer stroll through your site.

Full time traveler @whatrvdoing - Best campground in Colorado Springs and possibly all of Colorado. We spent just shy of three weeks here. The sites are huge. The grounds are gorgeous, with lake and mountain views. Wild turkeys, deer, and super rare Aberts Squirrels roam about the grounds. The squirrel will definitely catch your eye as it has long ears and a black coat! I loved riding my bike up the trails on site - the great views were so worth it. We also hiked the trails. Organic campfire pits are a nice touch. Huge tractor tires for kids to climb on (I did too ;). Herkermer is MASSIVE and the museum is absolutely mind blowing. It’s a must see, honestly you won’t regret it. Lastly the gift shop has some camping gear, a whole bunch of fun gifts, and some good learning tools for little ones.

We stayed at the campground in our very large fifth wheel for 18 days and it was awesome! It actually feels like you're camping. You have an incredible backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and beautiful scenery everywhere. It's very peaceful and I love that it's close enough to the city and things to do, but far enough that there is such a great feeling of safety out here. The staff are amazing. It's family owned and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The bug museum is also so cool, I couldn't believe the collection. There is a cute park for the kiddos that our son enjoyed and a really pretty lake for fishing or just walking around. We look forward to coming back!

I personally love a rustic campground. Was not jammed in, had plenty of space. This park is a gold mine, but they definitely need some work. The roads are in bad shape and the sites are not level. The place was packed. Put some money into your park. Clean up these roads. Bathrooms are clean. So they truly have a gem here. But seriously fix up your roads and level things out!

We got the deluxe spot so there is plenty of room between you and the next camper. Definitely worth the extra fee. The people in the office were super friendly and they have the family bug museum in the office which was really cool. There were a few kids around but it was always super quiet. Everyone there was respectful of the other guests.

Beautiful surroundings and friendly people here, all within a short drive from the Colorado Springs attractions. We saw deer, turkeys or pheasants on a regular basis, and even once saw a strange mammal that I think is a rare ring tail cat! We stayed during the winter, when the park is normally closed, so we had the unique experience of being snowed into a winter wonderland on the side of a mountain. We weren't fully prepared for some of the challenges that would bring, but the resident staff there were able to help us through all the difficult moments. The maintenance chief, Elton, is like a kindly and wise mountain-man who makes sure your site continues to get fresh water in, and just as important, sewer water out during frigid mountain temperatures. He also has advice on how to winterize your RV so that you don't have the pipes freeze underneath during cold snaps. I can't say enough good things about these folks. This campsite is far better than the many "parking lot" style campgrounds off the side of the highway that you come across. For the real mountain experience, go to Golden Eagle!

I recently had the pleasure of camping at the Golden Eagle Campground, on Rock Creek Canyon Rd. I live in the Springs and just wanted to "get away" for a few days. It felt like I was in the mountains! The campground was very clean, the other guests were so nice. I saw deer both days walking around the campground, and the hosts that keep everything going, day and night, were so very kind. Which brings me to Jim, Missy and Jessie! I had a personal emergency arise, they came and picked me up at my campsite, I sat in their home with them for at least 2 hours, and Missy actually drove me home later that night. I cannot express the appreciation and gratitude I feel for that family. Thanks so much for your gracious hospitality...

A cheap motel would have been better. It's like camping in a sardine can. Way to many people and not enough space. I'm pretty sure a good majority of people there might be homeless. Very rough. Not a quite place to relax at all. It also says online a beautiful view of pikes peak! If you can see through the giant rock that's directly in front of pikes peak. It seems like they make money just not money that will go back to the park!

What a beautiful spot. Really close to Fort Carson if you're visiting family

It was fine. Not fancy. A little antiquated but gets the job done.
