Located on the slopes of Cheyenne Mountain and just south of Colorado Springs, this campground has easy access to shopping and restaurants. Fort Carson is literally right across the street, if you have a military ID. Moreover, there are many local sights within 20 minutes of the park. Some of these include Garden of the Gods, 7 Falls, Red Rocks, the Air Force Academy and approaches to Pikes Peak.
There are several campgrounds within the park, but things are spread out in such a way that it never seems crowded. Sites are full hook up and both pull-through or back-in options are available. The are all well maintain with ample dispersion and plenty of room for an additional tent or pop-up shelter. The restrooms are modern and clean. There is also a centrally-located camper services building with showers and laundry facilities. Moreover, there is an extremely nice, staffed visitor center that offers information on the park and local sites.
The camp hosts are visible, friendly and helpful. Full-time staff are also active throughout the park. The entrance station appears to be open only on the weekend, but Colorado State Park passes can be purchased at a kiosk or from the visitor center.
Views of the mountain are amazing and nighttime views of the lights of Colorado Springs are another nice touch. There is also an extensive network of trails to further explore the mountain, which are adequate for most ability levels.
I can find nothing to criticize about Cheyenne Mountain State Park. It is a legit 5-star campground and I would absolutely stay here again.
