Nice place not far from the city

The campground is within 15 minutes of Colorado Springs and Fort Carson, so expect to hear reveille in the morning if you are up at 6:30 am or are a light sleeper. When checking in at the camp office/ May Natural History Museum we were given some brochures for the area which came in handy while exploring and finding things to do. The sites are close together but have more than enough room for a vehicle and tent. I was not pulling a trailer, but if you are there is a sharp turn and uphill to get to the campsites. The road is paved until the top of the hill and then turns to gravel which is very well maintained, however if there has been a lot of rain the road does get soft. Every site has a picnic table, fire pit, and wi-fi (at no extra charge) throughout the campground. There are two shower houses/ bathrooms which are cleaned at least twice a day are are in pretty good shape. There is a fishing pond which you can fish for $6.00 a day even without a state license. There are two hiking trails that wrap kind of around Cheyenne Mountain and they offer some nice views. There is also a playground in the middle of the campground for the kids. All in all this was a nice campground to stay in. The only reason i don't give it five stars is the proximity of the sites to one another.
