Located in the Pike National Forest, nearby attractions include the Garden of the Gods rock formations, the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The campground offers basic amenities, including vault toilets and drinking water, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 17 campsites available, some of which can accommodate RVs up to 22 feet in length.
